CARAMEL APPLES

October 21, 2012

After we left Bill we came home and made CARAMELED APPLES with toppings like BUTTERFINGER, and TOFFEE CHIPS, and then we watched several episodes of REVOLUTION, and THE WALKING DEAD or whatever you call that ZOMBIE show. I cannot believe my kids like that! I think it is so dumb! Oh well, they had a good time. There is nothing I love more than when my kids get together.
                                                    Lytton and Suzanne dippin' the apples
                                             Kell and Zach take their turn dippin' apples
Boston thought it would be fun to make carameled apples too. He did it with the help of his Daddy
                                                             Ashley's apples looked good
                                          We dipped our apples in toffee and Butterfinger
                                              First time making caramel apples together!
Putting lots of toffee on my apple!
                                            Lytton looks like he enjoys making nummy apples!

BILL'S BROOD

Oct 21, 2012

We all met up with Bill and his Kids at the Hotel he was staying in there. We ate breakfast and then of course we all WRESTLED. I don't think we can ever get together without us all WRESTLING.  I hate it when he TIES MY FEET together...I am so CLAUSTROPHOBIC! Or when anyone puts a sheet or blanket over my face. So of course that's what he and the kids love to do to me! Uggh!  We all had a great time visiting with them though.
    Mason, Boston, Zach, Ashley, Lytton, Mikell, Graham, Bill, Zander, and Bella
Boston liked playing with Grandpa Billy. He let Boston eat lost of mini marshmallows!
                                      Mason and Ashley...they have such a great relationship!
Zach and Boston had fun at breakfast with Bill, Zander, and Bella. Boston loves his Buzz Lightyear hoodie!
Bill wrestling me and tryig to get me down. I am tougher than he thinks! Graham was a traitor and kept helping Bill get me.
When Bill would get me down, Bella would cover me with a sheet and think that was so funny cuz I am so claustrophobic
                                                    Bella helps Bill wrestle Lytton down
                                                Bill and Zach take their turn wrestling
Lytton picked up Mason and threw him down on the bed. Everyone wrestles in this family.
                                        Billy, Boston and Zach enjoyed hanging out together.

PUMPKIN CARVIN' PARTY

October 20, 2012

We went to my Dad's house for a PUMPKIN CARVING PARTY. We had a lot of FAMILY there including Bill and his kids. We carved PUMPKINS and ate CHILI and SOUTHERN SOUP.  We didn't have time to make CARAMELED APPLES like we had planned but we had fun CARVING. This was the first time I had ever CARVED my own PUMPKIN. I had always PAINTED my PUMPKINS or have helped my kids CARVE theirs but I think this was the first time I have CARVED my own. It was a FUN time and I am so glad that our FAMILY was able to get together to have FUN. I LOVE being with my FAMILY and making MEMORIES and new TRADITIONS. Check out some of our PUMPKINS!

PICKIN' PUMPKINS

October 20, 2012

We went and PICKED OUT PUMPKINS...not at a PUMPKIN PATCH like we always do, but at Dick's Market, because we were in a hurry to get to my Dad's house for our PUMPKIN CARVING PARTY.  This felt so weird to get out PUMPKINS from a Grocery Store!

                                                              Should I pick this one?
                                         Ashley picks out her perfect pumpkin

SWIM TIME

October 19, 2012

Bill came in town to visit with Mason and Graham during their FALL BREAK from school. Zach and I went to hang out with them at their HOTEL in Bountiful. We went SWIMMING with the BOYS and with BELLA and ZANDER.  I have MISSED them so much! It has been a few months since I have seen them and they are getting so big!

We went SWIMMING and then ate PIZZA and watched a MOVIE. We had a great time with BILL and the KIDS.

Mason and Graham...they kept trying to take Zach under!

                                          Mason and his sore shoulder...football injuries
                                                            Me and Bella...love her!
Me and Zander...he can be so sweet!
                                                 Brothers wrestling...always wrestling!
                                Zander playing with his new trucks and making truck sounds!
