Hard Work

This is Darin's friend Josh and he got a bull elk and we went up to help pack it out. We had to wench it out about a half a mile up a mountain side. It was really hard and I have a new application for all that Darin does when he has to get an elk out. Thankfully Josh gave us about half the meat for helping.

Painting pumpkins

Charlie having fun with his pumpkin but staying very clean.

So the little pumpkins that we got from Carver's Farm were so small that my friend Taylor and I thought that it would be better if we painted them instead of carving them. We used some poster paint that I had and changed their shirts and put some paper down. The kids had tons of fun and the paint washed off their hands really well, but after they dried the next day the paint started to peel off. Oh well they had fun and that was all that matters.

Pumpkin Patch

Look at how these kids have grown.Bryson picking out his pumpkin.

Baylee is super excited if you couldn't tell.

Charlie having fun being packed around.

Baylee's preschool went to Carver's Farm and they had a lot of fun. The kids were really excited about picking their own pumpkin out. It was a fun day.

First week of preschool!!!!

Baylee and Bryson are starting preschool this week. Baylee goes to a co-op that some women in my ward and I started together. She went the first day and had a blast. She is so excited to go to preschool and that she has her very own book. Bryson stays home with me and we do preschool while Baylee is gone at hers. He is just excited that he gets his own pencil box and crayons, markers, and so on. He loves to drag his backpack around. He feels very important with his backpack on.

Hair Cut

This is all the hair I got off his head cutting it on a 1.I took a picture of him sleeping becuase this is the only time that he sits still.

Charlie is pretty bald and out of all my kids he has had the least amount of hair. So I thought that if I cut his hair it will grow back fast and full. Still waiting on the verdict for that, but it has worked in the past with my other kids and so hopefully this little guy will have some hair on his head by winter and not be so incredible bald.

Trip to Twin Falls

Holly and I always do our toes every time we visit. It is becoming a tradition for us.

We made a bunch of flower barrettes out of ribbon and buttons. I was showing them off here.

Baylee wearing these gorilla gloves. Casen would wear them as shoes and that was really funny to watch.

Clayton with Charlie. These two were buds. Bless Clayton's little heart wanting to hold him and try to keep him quite.

This is Holly my sister.

Charlie and I

Saturday night I asked Darin if he minded if I followed one of my friends down to Boise and kept on going to Twin Falls and around 10 that night he told me I could and that he was alright about it, so Sunday morning I packed up and left to Twin Falls. We stayed for a week and came home on Sunday. I really enjoyed visiting my sister and her family. We did tons of stuff. We made a Family Home Evening board, painted toes, made flower clips, went thrift store shopping and more shopping and our favorite garage sailing. The kids camped out together in different rooms, one night upstairs, another in one room and so on. We went on a lot of walks and stayed up late talking. It was tons of fun and we miss them already but were glad to be home.

Update on Charlie

Charlie now has 2 teeth and he makes sure that I know that he does every time I nurse him. He is drooling a lot lately and I think he is going to pop a couple more through. You can see the drenched shirt in these pictures.He has been crawling for a couple of weeks and just within the last week has been pulling himself up onto things.

Charlie is in the 80% with his head and 75% with his height and 50% with his weight. He is 20.3lbs.
