"Tastes Like Ramen!"

     When our little Ray thinks that something he is eating or drinking is particularly delicious, he says, "Tastes like Ramen!"  I guess Ramen is the ultimate delicacy for this 2-year-old!  :)  He is about the cutest little thing ever!

Trick or Treat!

This was our scarey bunch ready to head out to get some goodies!  It was another fun Halloween!

None of us (including Tylor) quite knew what Tylor's costume was...  :)

Taylie as cotton candy

Coleton as his Uncle Jayson (BYU football player)

T.J. the ninja

This wasn't the costume we got for Jaymon this year, but as sometimes happens with 4-year-olds he changed his mind about what he wanted to be for Halloween, so we went with his dog costume from last year instead of his new one.  As long as he was happy and I didn't have to buy another costume (because that was not going to happen), it was all good!  Besides, Jaymon really does have a thing for dogs!  :)

Our little monkey, Ray

This is how you trick-or-treat in style!

Was this Taylor stealing candy from the kids?  I'm not really sure!  :)

Ray ate so much candy when he got home that I thought he was going to be sick!

T.J. and his haul.

Coleton and Jaymon - so proud of how much candy they could get.

Tylor had gone with a couple of friends and came home with the biggest pile of all.  Too bad he can't eat a lot of it due to the fact that he now has braces!  :)

 

 

 

Trunk-R-Treat

     I took the kids to a Trunk-R-Treat Halloween party a few days before Halloween.  It was a good chance to give their costumes a "trial run".  It was also fun to get out and do something with the kids that they enjoyed.

T.J. (ninja), Coleton (BYU football player), Tylor (box), Taylie (cotton candy), Ray (monkey). and Jaymon (dog)

Is this a cute little boy or what?!  :)

Ray and T.J.

This was my favorite part of the evening - watching big brother Tylor with his little buddy, Ray.  Melts a mother's heart!!  :)

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving time at our house!

Jaymon

T.J.

Ray loved his pumpkin!

We couldn't really let Ray carve his pumpkin, so he got to color his with markers and then I carved it for him.

Our little pumpkins!

Our Little Pumpkin

We took a little pumpkin to our baby Maree's grave.  We all miss her so much!!  She is such an important part of our family.

Braces!

   Tylor is a teenager now, so you know what that means... time for braces!!

This was the BEFORE picture...

In the chair getting everything placed.

The AFTER picture... :)

His teeth were pretty sore at first, but he is handling it all really well.  Tylor also got Head-gear to wear at night, but I decided to be nice and not post a picture of that!

Pumpkin Patch Fieldtrip

Jaymon's preschool class took a fieldtrip to the Pumpkin Patch.  It was perfect weather and a great day!

Jaymon's class on the "Big Chair".

Of course Ray got to come along for the fun.  This was the cow-train ride.

Ray and I on the hayride.

This was the pumpkin Jaymon picked out (but of course he changed his mind and wanted a different one before we were done!).  :)

Ray showing me his pumpkin.

Jaymon and Ray had a blast jumping on the "Big Pillow".

They this saddle on a log that Ray wanted to try out.  He got on and then said, "It no work!".  :)

Playing in the Corn Box.

Jaymon loved feeding the goats.

Ray liked to see the "Big Moo".

This slide looked cool, but was actually a slow and bumpy ride down.  The kids still liked it, though.

What a cute boy!

Another cute boy!!  :)
I love being a mom and getting to spend my day with these sweet boys.

One Last Taste of Summer

   You just never know about the weather here in the fall.  Some days are warm and sunny and other days are bitter cold.  This was the last really hot day we had, and the kids made sure to go out and enjoy it.  I am sad that summer is over - I personally love the warm weather!

Our niece, Sorelle, was over to play so I got the kids some of the grapes we grew in our yard for a snack.  I was amazed at how many they ate!

Ray with his grapes.

Jaymon and his cousin, Ace, thought it would be great to put the sprinkler under the trampoline.  They had a blast!

Warm weather is so much fun!

These two little boys are quite a pair!  I just love them!  :)
