Halloween Fun

We had a lot of fun on Halloween! Thursday, there was a carnival at the elementary school the kids had fun! Grace won in the costume contest for her grade! I'm not usually one to get too involved in the competition but I have to say I was a little upset that Anakin Skywalker did not win, I guess he was just out of their league! Noah is a bowling ball, his friend is the bowling pin..I have yet to get a picture of them together! Curt and I caught the spirit, it was fun to dress up, we drove around our cute little town in a rhino, the kids jumping in and out running door to door, it was a fun night. I have to admit that Saturday morning was the highlight of my weekend..I did not get out of bed until 11:00 am I know..It seems unreal to me as well...it gets better! Noah had taken care of the little boys until10:30 then Curt got up and had the kids vacuuming and cleaning up costumes and candy from the night before! I stayed in my PJ's all day..I did laundry, took down my halloween decorations and put up my thanksgiving it was a fun relaxing day for me!! Curt worked on "Bessie" his new project (see up coming post) and the kids played..I think we all enjoyed our Saturday!

Home Sweet Home

Yea! I can not believe how grateful I am to have a front yard! I know..I bragged how wonderful Curtis was supporting me while I stayed at my mom's for a week, putting Grace's hair in curlers and all..I haven't mentioned that when I got home he had bushes planted and had sod ordered! My cute neighbor across the street was outside when we pulled up and came over with tears in her eyes..she knew how hard he and the kids had worked to surprise me! Regi asked Curt if he was making up for something or wanting something. I think he is just trying to keep his spoiled wife happy! Our move to Enterprise has been a huge blessing and I am so thankful for that!

A step up from Legos

I've always thought my Noah was extremely talented with his "hands on" ability..but he has reached new heights! After helping Curt install a sprinkling system in our front yard..he felt it important to create one for his BMX track in the back yard. His own design, own money and own time, he was successful..we did have to make a second trip to the hardware store to replace the faulty sprinkler head! I admire his ability to create! I also admire his ability to stand up for what he wants.. two of his friends went with us on our first supply run and just thought Noah was crazy for spending $20 on pvc pipe, glue, fittings, and sprinkler heads. They were trying to remind him of all the other things his money could buy, he didn't even bat an eye at them! Another friend Josh came over yesterday and was amazed he did it buy himself! My favorite part, if you notice he even buried the pipe.. Way to go Noah!

"Goodies in Spanish"

My little Gabe just says funny things.. Today he was enjoying some strawberries for a snack...."Delicious, Yummy, Delightful" were some of his comments.. He looked at me with a big cheesy grin and said "Goodies in Spanish." I think he will serve a Spanish speaking mission some day he is fascinated with the language! Even if he makes up his own Spanish! Last night was a good one too...getting ready for bed he turned into mister grouchy..(I think he had just played too hard!) He kept saying "I don't feel good" I asked him what was wrong..he replied "My head is on crooked" I wasn't sure what that meant! We went with a headache and gave him some tylenol!

Real men use a BOW!

I have to admit that being "Bow" season I really didn't expect to be cooking venison! Taking it to the butcher in Cedar was quite the adventure..Gabe was thrilled when the butcher cut the head off..I told him to look away he replied " No Mom! It's Awesome!"

Little House on the Prarie

We are loving it here in Enterprise! Curt has received his first payment in produce (corn and it was wonderful) and my neighbors told me I no longer need to buy eggs..just knock on their door! My only complaint is waking up to the roosters..I thought they only "ka ka doodle do" once..let me tell you that is not the case!
