Brandon's DARE Graduation

Brandon is in 6th grade at Endeavour Elementary and he just completed the DARE program. They had a graduation ceremony. I love this program and all that Brandon learned from it.

Jake Started Preschool

My baby turned 3 and started preschool. I can't believe that he is old enough to go. The first day of school he wasn't to excited for me to leave him. He cried and I stood outside his classroom door and tried to keep it together. I have never had a hard time leaving my kids at school but maybe because he is my baby it was harder. :) He has been fine ever since. Here is a picture of a turkey picture that he made and was so proud of that we had to take a picture.

My Baby is 3

Jake turned 3. He is so much fun and so much trouble all at the same time. He loves to get into everything and make us either laugh our heads off or cry our eyes out. He loves to watch Sponge Bob and so it seemed appropriate that he have a Sponge Bob Cake. He loved the cake and I couldn't keep his fingers out of the frosting. At the end of the day when it was time to eat the cake, the kids decided that Jake could have the whole cake because they were grossed out that it had little finger pokes all over the cake. We spent the morning at McDonalds for breakfast and then headed to the Bountiful Rec Center to go swimming. Jake opened his present, which was a balance bike. He loves to ride and try to keep up with his brothers and sister. Jake is wild and fun and we love him. Hope we all survive another year! :)

Halloween 2013

This was the first year that Brandon and Isaac were old enough to go trick or treating with their friends. We took a picture of them and then dropped them off to their friends. Kevin and I took Jake and Maycee trick or treating around the neighborhood. Later that night we checked all the goods we got and I am proud to say we have enough candy to keep mama happy for a while! Jake loved ringing the doorbell and getting candy. We did have to work on some manners like, only one candy per house and not bursting into peoples houses looking for the bowl full of candy. :)

Pumpkin Carving

I am old fashion and like to carve pumpkins. All of my kids, except my one and only daughter, is grossed out by cleaning the "guts" out of the pumpkin. So, Maycee and I cleaned all 6 pumpkins and then the boys each carved their own designs. We carved a cute Ghost face on Jake's pumpkin but then he added his own personal touch by stabbing it all over with a pencil.

Reese 2013 Halloween Carnival

We had our annual Reese Halloween Carnival. All the kids got dressed in their costumes and had a party at Gram and Papas. Of course Jake refused to be in any pictures, but he was there.
