Jada's school photo. Sorry taken with my cell.

10/27/2008 - Gardeners Village

Today we went with our friends to Gardeners Village in West Jordan where we did a scavenger hunt for witches. After we finished each kids got a chocolate chip cookie!

10/26/2008 - 4 Wheelers

This weekend we rented 4 wheelers again and it was fun. The kids had a great time riding around the neighborhood. I even took Conrad out for a ride.

10/25/2008 - Pumpkins

I promised the kids the weekend before Halloween we would carve pumpkins. So we did, it was a mess, it was fun. But here are our 2008 pumpkins.

10/24/2008 - Color Me Mine

So Darek had a spousal lunch in at work where we went to Color Me Mine in Provo and were able to decorate ceramic pieces to our liking. I picked 3 plates, one for each kid and put their names on them and Darek make a dinosaur he will give to Quincy as part of his Birthday gift.

Thank you Lauren for watching my kids, I appreciate it more than you know. I know they can be quite a handful!

10/25/2008 - Look-alike meter!

Ok so Alisha had this on her blog and it looked so much fun! I love things like this. Anyhow according to this site...which totally took my by surprise.... here are our results! The only picture I had of me and it is pretty bad! (Not because of Lauren! She takes great pics, just don't care for pictures of me)

I have decided it is imposible to get 3 kids to all look at you and smile at the same time!

10/17/2008 - Kangaroo Zoo

We had our wonderful neighbors kids and wonderful friends Alisha and her kids all at Kangaroo Zoo today. Lauren we are sad you moved....even if it is only a block or two away. But this was a great way to spend time with the kids before the move.

There was a bad part about going as well, Quincy was hit in the head pretty hard coming down a slide and his eye was all messed up for awhile. Then just sat there for a couple hours and wouldn't eat or really respond much but a couple words here and there. Took him in and had him checked out a couple hours later and he was getting better and by the end of the night he was just fine!

10/16/2008 - Pumpkins

Today we went with our friends Alisha, Lilly and Coralie to a place called Jump on It and Thanksgiving Point's dinosaur museum. We also put these tattoos on our pumpkins to add faces until they are carved.

10/13/2008 - Bumbo

Gotta love "The Bumbo" it allows Conrad to sit up without much effort at all. He loves it, most of the time. Funny thing is Jada used to hang her toes off of everything to. And he always burps in twos...the second one generally is messy. And Quincy used to sneeze in threes.

10/12/2008 - Balloons

My kids love balloons!

10/12/2008 - New Table and Chairs

So I sold my breast pump as I stopped nursing at 5 1/2 months(longest I have made it with any of the kids) and my old table and chairs and was able to buy a new table and 6 chairs! The black table matches our micro and toaster and frames throughout the house. The red matches my red wall and the red pillows in the living room and the white matches the fridge and stove and couches in living room. Hope it ties things together alright. That was the idea anyhow.

10/11/2008 - SNOW

SNOW! Guess I have to buy snow gear again for the kids!

10/09/2008 - The Last Soccer Games

This was Jada's second to last soccer game and it was COLD. Daddy took the boys home as Quincy can't handle the cold and it can't be good for the baby. But Jada scored 3 goals on the 9th and a goal on the 11th! It was snowing the 11th so I didn't take my camera. What a way to end the season!

10/12/2008 - Who is who

Conrad at 5 months

Jada at 6 months

Quincy at 6 months

I say Conrad looks the most like Jada but has Quincy's eye set! Any opinions?

10/7/2008 - Baby Bath

So I had Conrad take his first bath in a big kid bath. He took one with Jada so that she could help me hold him up in his seat, since he floats all around in the tub. He really seemed to enjoy it! Of course he is in the kids bath tub which is full of floating toys all around, which you can see in the background.

10/4/2008 - The Car

So each of our kids have played in this car, Darek came home with it one night and they have all loved it! Oh and this is before Conrad's little hair cut! He no longer has all that cute baby hair on the top of his little head.
