Halloween Craft at Grandma Julie's...

Tonight Ashley and I took our kids up to Grandma Julie's while the men went to Priesthood session. The kids got to make their very own pizzas and then they got to paint these fun Halloween masks.

Jace and Beckham

As you can tell they were so excited.

Gracie loved it, I think it was her first time painting.

Cole loved painting his pumpkin.

Jace had to paint his red of course.

When the kids were done us adults decided to get in on the fun.

When Grandpa came home we gave him his birthday present.

Then we got some fun pictures with our Halloween masks.

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa we had a blast.

Carving Pumpkins...

Jace and Cole asked us all morning to carve their pumpkins, so we finally did. Well, I drew the batman and shark on the pumpkins and Justin did the carving.

Jace had to have a shark of course.

He was so excited he could hardly wait.

 

The finished shark.

Of course Cole wanted a bat for batman.

 

He loves his too.

Love our cute boys! I am sure Gracie will have an opinion for next years!

Petersen Family Farm...

Tonight we went to Petersen Family Farm for a Customer Appreciate Party. The kids loved it...

...especially the corn maze.

They all picked their favorite indian corn.

They finally found the perfect pumpkins and can't wait to carve them tomorrow with daddy.

Halloween Cookie Houses...

Today the kids got to make some Halloween cookie houses. They were so excited. The frosting was a little too hard and dry, so it ended up being a flop

They still had fun though.

I was watching Lola and Scarlett, so they got to join in on the fun.

They loved eating the candy...

...and smashing them at the end...because they were falling apart.

Better luck next year.

7 Kids...

Today I watched 4 kids(2 of my friends and 2 of my sisters at the same time.) They were all actually really well behaved. So, I had 7 kids aged 5 and under(2 five year olds, 1 four year old, 2 three year olds, 1 two year old and 1 one year old.)

Provo Canyon...

Today Stephanie and I headed up Provo Canyon with the kids. We stopped and let the kids play Vivian Park.
Yep, Gracie has discovered her nostrils.

Sure love her though!

Jace and I

He was being really crazy at the park as you can tell.
