Up up and away! or CHARGE!

Depending on how you view a cape, the title will make sense!

For Blake's Halloween costume, we decided that he would be a knight (which means that Mommy found a really cheap knight costume at Dollar Tree!! Helmet, breast plate, and shield--$3! YES!) . So I decided I would make my first ever Halloween costume... well part of it. I found a great tutorial HERE... and this is how it turned out....

Notice the incredibly attractive "too small but he won't let me throw them away" jammies.

(Yes I forced him to stand here for this pic... awful mommy!)

Remember When?

Matt and Blake went to the movie store tonight and came back with "The Last Unicorn!" Doy ou remember that movie from way way way back when? Matt and I watched it when we were really little, but we remember some parts of it... so we got to take a trip down memory lane, and laugh at the early animation, and the "great" music...

enjoy!

Ahhh the joys of solid food. (those are sweet potatoes)

Emergancy Prep Kinda Sucks

So, the ward seems to think that the end is near. Every first Sunday (starting with August) for the rest of the year we will have (and have had) Emergency/ Disaster Preparation. The first set of items that we were asked to get ready were water and personal documentation. I had no idea how much water I need, lame. The human body needs at least 1 gallon per day. Not to mention all the water you need to clean.
So after class today, I went and picked-up four 7-gallon containers, one for each of us. So based on the aforementioned calculations, I hope the next disaster lasts for less than 3-4 days. Oh yeah, and it cost $75. That's the sucky part. I'm all for post-apocalyptic survival strategy, but does it have to put me out by so much hard earned.

Now, for the next few days, I will be scanning in drivers licenses, SSN cards, life insurance policies and the like. Lucky me.

This weekend we went to my parent's cabin up outside of Evanston, WY back into Utah. It is in a place called Uinta Lands... up by East Fork of the Bear Scout Camp (in case you were wondering...haha). Anywho, we went out of town. And it was so much FUN!

Blake went fishing for the first time with my sister Paige, her son and her husband. After this picture was taken, then went swimming in the river. Of course Blake wanted to take his clothes off. But what they didn't know was he took EVERYTHING OFF. I have a pic, but i think that is verging on kiddie porn if I put it up here. Just know that he is the only one naked, and he tromped through 50 feet of forest in nothing but his crocs. I guess he truly is a boy. I don't know that a girl would have done that!

Then he went poop in the river! Holy COW! Not that I blame her, but Paige refused to clean him up. So here he is washing up. Notice Paige is cracking up. He kept asking why he had to sit down in the river.

I guess I should count my blessing though because at least he went #2 somewhere other than his diaper. That has been our most recent struggle.

We also watched for squirels...


Did you think we forgot connor? Nope!
He decided to ham it up and pose for me!



OH! and look at the GORGEOUS view!


Okay, enough pictures! Anywho, that was our weekend!

Finger Puppets

I found these on etsy, and I decided to make them myself! They were $8 a piece! I made 15!

He is our bean.... He is our bean...

Matt is gonna kill me for putting this up, but it was too cute not to. This is my favorite sound.
