Thankful Turkey's

A few years ago we did a thankful turkey countdown to thanksgiving.  I decided to do this again this year. 

 Easton and his turkey.  I think he truly thinks about what he is thankful for all day or he really just likes to write on a feather and glue it on.  It could really be either one.

 Gretchen gets it this time around and I loved what she was thankful for today.  She said that Dad can go to work.  I will post picture of the completed turkey at the end of the month.

Silly Eyes

Aunt Andrea gave my kids these eyes for Halloween.  My kids think they are totally awesome. 

Halloween 2010

Here is a few pictures of what we did to celebrate Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins!

 Gretchen wasn't a big fan of cleaning out the pumpkin. 

  Easton wasn't a big fan either but he was a good sport and did anyway. 

 Dad helping Gretchen draw the face of what she wanted cut out.

 Easton cut his own pumpkin face out this year all buy himself. 

Every year I have gotten there picture taken in there costume, but this year I did it my self and don't know if that was that Great of an idea.  Here are my best 3.   

 Here is our glowing carved pumpkins.  Nothing exciting this year!

 Then we went trick or treating with some friends and I had my camera and didn't take a single picture.  Oh well they had a good time.  Gretchen did get a little cold by the time we were done.  It has been a very Happy Halloween at our house this year!

Ward Halloween Party

We had our ward Halloween party last night to kick off our Halloween festivities.  Here is a picture of Easton and Gretchen before we left. 

 Easton is a Duck Hunter and Gretchen is Cinderella.

I didn't take very many at the party I don't know why.

Chad and Easton playing a game.  Easton won!

Then they trick or treated and came home with a lot of candy.  I haven't stolen to much either, so yeah me!  The party was way fun!

Carmel Apples

 Last night we made some Carmel apples. 

 Putting the Carmel on.

 It takes a lot of concentration

 The apples in the oven.

 The finished product. 

Easton had a hard time eating it because he is missing two teeth.  We had to end up cutting it up for him.  He enjoyed every last bite then. 

A Dog!

My kids keep telling me they want a dog.  I keep telling them no we are having a baby.  I am not a huge animal person.  I like animals from behind a fence.  I love the zoo.  Anyway after seeing this last weekend my mind wavered for about 2 seconds. 

This isn't the best picture but they were both petting Bo and watching a movie at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Just a bunch of Stuff

This post is going to be about  a few things that have happened in the past few weeks.  First off I found this picture on my camera of Easton watching President Monson speak during General Conference.  Conference was good as usual.  Of course I missed a few talks do to kids, and my wonderful ability to fall asleep when I should be listening.  I am very glad that I will be able to read the talks in the Ensign. 

Last week Easton had his last soccer game of the fall season.  He did so good in soccer this year.  He loved it.  He was sad that the season is over.   He had a pizza party yesterday at his coaches house and got an awesome trophy.  I should have taken a picture but I didn't so just imagine an awesome trophy.     Easton is the one in the black sweatshirt. 

This is a picture of Gretchen at Easton's game.  Not the prettiest picture but she wanted me to take it so I did and I am posting it as well. 

Last night I was able to go to a Relief Society Craft night and make this cute pumpkin.  I think I might make another one if I can get chad to cut the wood for me.  It was way easy and fun!  I love going to our monthly Relief Society meetings and getting a chance to hang out with the fun ladies in my ward.  I love my ward!
