Mrs McFarland

This is Haylee's teacher!! LOL, she is so funny ;)
I love the kids school...all teachers and staff dressed up and they had a parade around the school for parents to watch. Jacob's teacher was a blind Dr! I wish I had pictures of everyone.
I'll post pics of our family tomorrow when they all dress up!!

That's MY Diet Pepsi!!!

I walked in to find this little stinker trying to open my drink!! The lid was tight so he got my can opener thingy what ever it's called.... how funny that he knows to use it!!!
He made me laugh so I had to give him a little bit but from now on, it goes on the top shelf in the back!!

Fort

Another sleep out! Brian moved the couches and brought in a tarp to make the kids a fort, they loved it!!!

Look at Me!!

Last Saturday I was ambitious and made homemade hoagie rolls!! As Brian says..."These are ridiculous!"
They were so yummo and I was pretty proud of myself. I mean, just look at the shape!
While I was waiting for the dough to rise, I made oreo ice cream and ooooh yea... bbq sandwiches for dinner with homemade ice cream for dessert???
The blog link for Real Mom kitchen is my new addiction.... I love making her stuff and I've been in the kitchen a ton!!

Haunted Storytime!!

This time when we went to the library, they had a witch! She told scary stories and had a book that made crazy scary sounds!! When we were all done singing and dancing we made haunted houses!!

Loader

Another fun day with daddy! The kids are off of school for fall break so Friday we went to work with Brian, literally! He has us loading forms and moving 2x4's for hours!! We came home filthy and tired but it felt good to get some exercise!!

Brian & Jerry

Brian remembers sitting up on the curb machine with his dad when he was JJ's age.... So it's still Jerry and Brian but the rolls are reversed and Brian is the daddy now!! ;)

Doing good!

Joey still loves his braces!! He is so good about what he can and can't eat and even if I give him something he can't have he reminds me, how cute is he??

Boat Races

Mariette and the owners of the restaurant she manages were in a boat race at a festival in Tennessee last weekend.
This boat is made of a huge block of styrofoam!!! How fun would that be?!?! Her team came in a super close 2nd place but she had fun anyway!!

Another One Bites the Dust!

Haylee had another loose tooth! She was complaining over dinner that she couldn't chew so Brian went to work trying to pull it out.... look at Jacob holding her head lol! After a few attempts and her getting upset Brian gave up and the next morning she pulled it out herself!!
Joey had a loose tooth yesterday and when he complained about it Haylee told him: "If a little first grader can pull out her own tooth then I think you can too!"
My kids crack me up!!

Football

Did I tell you how happy we are that football has started again?!?!?! We have so many teams that we love, what a great way to end a Sunday!!

Story Time!!

A friend called me to meet her at the library on Wednesday for story time. JJ had a blast! The librarian read stories, sang songs and then had a craft for the kids to do!
JJ played with this hot air balloon all day ;)
I'm so going there again!!

LOL??

Look what I was following the other day!!! For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about Dave LOL!!!
I'd say only in Utah but I know better!

Family Fun

How much fun are we?? Brian had to transport the curb machine to two different jobs this past little bit and of course we always love to hang out with daddy!!
Yes, we're geeks!!

Brace Face

Joey got braces!! On Thursday we went to Simister; whom I love btw!!
He was so excited and nervous at the same time it was cute ; )
He's got a mouthful with braces and his expander is still in to make sure his mouth doesn't cave!
His teeth are really crooked because of the cleft and Dr. Jeff said he's got a lot of work ahead of him :(
He picked blue and orange for his bands.. not for Denver but for Boise State Broncos! He and Jake want to go there for college and play football on the smurf turf, how cute are they??
The staff is so great and explained all the rules and said he'd be really sore especially on his front tooth that is way high and he has not complained a bit!
He is a tough little boy and always recovers so well after a surgery or anything else he has to put up with!!

You're a cutie Jo Jo!!
Love ya ;)

House Party

This is a house where Brian was doing concrete... LOTS of concrete!! It is a 25,000 +/- huge house on plenty of land. He's got a theatre in the basement with a snack bar fully stocked and a trampoline that you can see from the kitchen in the basement! Oh yeah, don't forget the slide from the top that lands on the tramp!
When the house was finished, the owner threw a party for everyone who helped out and yes, this is a lake in his backyard!!

I forgot my camera so phone pics will have to do ;(
The pool has a balcony over it that people can actually jump off of into the 25 ft deep water below. It was neat when it got dark because he has a black bottom pool with blue lights. My "mom sense" kicked in and I couldn't stop thinking, if there's a kid down there who's going to see????
Anyway.. the house is beautiful and it was a fun party!

Titans

Jacob and Joey LOVE football and so we let them play flag football this season. Luckily, they are on the same team because last year we are at the parks all day it seems! They are the Titans and they have a really good coach.
Jacob is safety on defense and quarterback on offense. He's pretty impressive!! Joey is wide receiver and does really well at that also ;)
They have been asking to play "real" football for awhile and I'm so hesitant.. Joey is so tiny!! Don't get me wrong, he's tough but I don't want my boys getting hurt! We'll see ;)
