Meet the family…

Luke Skywalker, Ben 10, Frankenstein, man carrying twins, army guy and fairy princess!

and don’t forget mom, dressed as a baby!

How did we get such a beautiful day for Halloween?  It was so cold, windy, and snowy all week.  We woke up to sunshine on Saturday…and it even stayed decent until the sun went down…just in time to end the trunk or treat and go home :)

Sterling really got into the trick or treating.  He really liked carrying his own bucket and choosing handfuls of treats from people…which by the way the neighbors thought it was so adorable they let Sterling take whatever he wanted.  He knows how to charm.

Oh no, I can’t see Logan, where did he go?

Phew…Bridget fluttered on over and found him.  Yummy candy!

Faces of Sterling

Sterling is 15 months old.  He is below 3% on the charts for his height and weight and his head circumference is close to 50%.  He has some great facial expressions…and he is a determined little guy.

walk-a-thon

Oct 9th was the school walk-a-thon.  Calvin’s class walked in the morning and Kimball and Logan walked in the afternoon.  Bridget and I got to watch both hours of fun!

The laps were small (9 laps per mile)  The kids ran and walked for a whole hour.  Calvin and Logan were champs and went almost 3 miles.  Kimball ran a lot and went over 3 1/2 miles…then we got to pay donations for all those laps!  :)

We are really big on exercise right now.  Ammon bought a pull up bar.  Calvin and Logan love to do pull ups everyday.  Logan generally will do 2 or 3 and then drop to the ground and start push ups…they are strong boys.

Calvin’s Birthday

Due to computer troubles…it has been a while since I blogged…but never fear fun times have been happening!

Calvin turned 7!  He is a fun adventurous boy.  Enjoy the silly faces, that is his signature photo face as of late :)

we had fun making a jack-o-lantern brownie cake!

Sterling got a bit sticky eating cake and ice cream…so he got to tryout going shirtless.

Happy birthday Calvin.

Backyard Campout

Ammon and the boys camped out last Friday night in the backyard.  It was there very own fathers and sons!  The boys were quite excited.  Logan really got into setting up the tent, Calvin helped some, Bridget got sad because she wanted to sleep in the tent, and Sterling simply loved being outside all evening!  Kimball couldn’t sleep, so he ended up in his own comfy warm bed in the house.

Bridget is enjoying preschool.  I did not know if she would go willingly, but she has had no trouble.  She is younger than the other girls, but they get along and play well together.

Three blond beauties and Logan on the first day of preschool, 15 September!

We are canning, ever canning…can not wait to be done :)  Did I just say that?  So, we have slowed down a bit.  I need to do another batch of green beans and I do want to make applesauce  (the season of apples is soon).  Look how yummy, dinner is served!

School started on Thursday.  Kimball and Calvin are all ready to go!  Logan will start next week in Kindergarton.  I can’t believe summer is already gone.

This year the 3 boys plus a few neighbors all have the same school time…so the kids are walking home from school.  Fantastic!

The kids were riding bikes and playing outside.  I was working on cleaning up debris from the tree being cut down.  Calvin and Bridget both wanted to take lots of pictures…here are their self portraits.
