Photo Tag

I was tagged along with all the other cousins. This in't really the 4th of the 4th either, but like minz I found an oldie, but goodie. This was taken when my 3 sons were all still very small and innocent and I was trying out some sweet photo cropping gadgets. These boys are definitely right inside my heart. I love them to the core. I tag:

Mom and Dad

Brother 1 and wife

Brother 2 and wife

Brother 3 and wife

and my great friend Chauna. It's ON my friends!

These sons of mine...

MORGAN- It ain't easy bein' young. While we were at Mam's house, Morgan was feeling very very bored. He was expressing his thoughts on being left out of going to the Stake dance with his older brothers by spinning around and around in circles and very loudly calling out each time he passed the chair. So after about 5 minutes and 75 or so spins he quit and went into the bathroom. He came out and said he was sick. Yeah I'll bet! It makes me sick just typeing this up and thinking about it. Yuck!

REID - Stuck in the middle again. Usually we don't have time to stop off for A snack before work, but I decided to break with tradition on this particular day. I like to keep em guessing

Heading in to work.

I asked Ried to take my coat and Hunter's coat out to the car. He put my coat on over his and then Hunter's on over that. We had a good laugh. Hunter's coat is huge!

Life with teens is a roller-coaster ride. Up and down, up and down. It's definitely an adventure. I always used to say I couldn't wait til they were grown, but I'd be happy to turn back the clock for a while.I think I'd like to turn back time to when they were little. Like 4.

We have some of the cutest home videos ever and we watch them often and it reminds me of how innocent little children are.

Here is a video they shot some years ago.

Let me just post this video as a little reminder of days not too far past.

HUNTER- Definitely the oldest and biggest for now.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This year Halloween was a little weird. It was just Morgan and me.
Hunter and Reid chose to work instead of having the day off, because it was the last day of the pay period. We did a whole lot of nothing for most of the afternoon and then we got Morgan's costume ready and went to Mom and Dad's old neighborhood (where Morgan's friends live) to trick or treat. We walked around the neighborhood with some of his friends at a VERY slow and doddling pace and then went to mom and dad's for a visit and then to Mindy's for a visit.
Halloween is usually so hectic, but with one kid it's a breeze.

We had a lot of practice on this Dracula face. Morgan dressed in his costume 3 different times for ward parties and Halloween.

I really loved the nerd costume. For Halloween day at school they couldn't wear face paint or masks and they were having a "vocabulary" parade so their costume was supposed to reflect their word. Morgan chose "geek" so we made a pocket protector and some glasses. He was very proud and had a great day. I think you gotta be pretty confident to rock a costume like that one!



The Bishop and his wife...........Popping Balloons at the party... The Olsen's

My costume for the ward party. The first counselor saw me as we were coming in the door and said "oh Wonder Bread. Great costume." It took me a minute to figure out what he was saying. I probably should have dressed up like Sponge Bob again.
