I am finally posting Halloween!!!!! We had fun dressing up for our Ward's trunk or treat this year.

Kaden, Aspyn and I dressed up as super girl and super man. Ryan dressed up with his cousins as thing 1, thing 2, and thing 3. Takota dressed up as superman. Greg dressed up as 'Joe Dirt.' We had a lot of fun. Rob and Sheri both put the wig on. We had a lot of fun. We also tended Lainee and she dressed up as a princess. I took all of my kids, Sheri's kids, and Lainee to Toys R Us to the parade. We had a lot of fun.

Greg and I took our kids to the straw maze in Rexburg. We got so turned around in there. We couldn't find our way out. We forgot flashlights and it was very dark. We had fun the first 30 minutes of being lost, then the kids kept saying, we've been here mom and dad, I remember seeing that piece of straw!!! Greg.....our superhero, finally led us out.....the way we came in. The kids were so excited that we finally made our way out....except Ryan was not because he knew it the way we came in. So I went and got hot chocolate with the kids and Greg and Ryan went back through the maze. They made it all the way through in 20 minutes! We had a good time. Takota decided to tell the college students that were going in, that 'we were in there for hours!!!' Funny how time is to little kids.

10 YEARS

I never did post what Greg and I did for our 10th Anniversary!!! We went up to my parents Friday night, which was our anniversary. We were going to go to my brothers football game, but it was freezing cold, so we waited at my parents house. We spent the night and then in the morning we took my dad's fourwheeler and rode up a place called Mud Lake. We had a lot of fun, although, when we got a little ways up the mountain, the wind started to really blow and it started snowing on us. So we turned around and went back to my parents and had hot chocolate. We had a lot of fun. I can't believe we've been married ten years. I love my sweet husband with all of my heart. He is a wonderful example to me. I married the best man in the world. We have so much fun together. I can't wait for another 10 years!

We went up to visit my parents to show off our costumes for Halloween. Kaden saw Granny and was scared of her costume. Aspyn is supergirl, Takota was Nacho Libre, Ryan was a football player and Kaden .....we forgot his costume, it was superman. We had a lot of fun at Granny and Grandpa's. We had a cake walk and fish pond. We also made trick or treat candy holders out of paper plates. It was fun. It's always fun to go visit my mom and dad. They are wonderful grandparents.

My Great Aunt May died a couple of days ago. She was such a wonderful lady. I loved her so much. She lived just down the road from me all growing up and my sister, Angelica and I would visit her almost every Sunday. We would either ride our bikes to her house or we would ride in the car with Grandpa and Grandma Kunz. She would have been 101 years old on December 16th. I am greatful that she is with her husband again. He has been dead since before I was born. I'm not sure how many years, but I know that she was lonely. She used to give us cookies until she couldn't make them anymore, and then she would always have a bag of candy bars to give us. Then we would sit and she would tell us about her husband. She had so many pictures in her house all around and would tell us about each one of them. She would tell us all about her children and grandchildren. She was a wonderful example to me and I can't wait for the day that I can see her again.

My sweet little boy is not a little boy anymore. He is growing up. For the past year now, Ryan has talked about nothing but football, basketball, baseball, golf......any sport that he can talk about. He just finished playing in Grid Kid Football. Tonight they lost in going to the championship. They will play one last game, tomorrow night and then they are done for this year. It was a fifth grade team, so Ryan played up. He was the second smallest on the team, but he sure is a fast runner......he gets that from his dad!!! He had a lot of fun and was so proud when he would tackle someone, especially someone bigger than him. Even though I won't miss the 2 hour practice EVERY night, I sure will miss going to his games and watching him play. He is so fun to watch. I sure do love my children.

I have the best neighbors ever! My daughter loves playing with our little neighbor girl. Today as she was over, Greg asked her where she got her pretty blue eyes, to which she replied....nowhere, and then she said, 'from Jesus'!!! We thought that was pretty cute. So Greg asked her where she got her pretty brown hair, and she replied the same. Oh how cute little kids are. It's amazing how much our Savior is always on their mind. I should be a lot more like little kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! to one of my 5 favorite brothers!!!!!! I am so excited to see my brother in a few more months!!!!! 4 to be exact. I can't believe he is getting so old. I used to pack him around all of the time. I used to give him hugs when he would hurt himself. I loved tending my sweet brother Burke!!! And now he's so old! No offense to anyone, but he is one of the best all around guys out there!

I'VE BEEN TAGGED!!!

I've been tagged by my good friend Melanie Nielson. I've never been tagged before, so I don't really know what to do. I will try my best to see if I do this right.

Rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them

1.I wash my dishes before I let the dishwasher wash them. I can't stand to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

2. I have to put lip gloss on my lips every night before I go to sleep. I don't like them dry.

3. I like to clean out my drawers and closets and get them completely organized, even though my house looks like a tornado went through it.

4. I have to check on my children at night also, and make sure they have blankets on them and are laying in a straight position, not twisted all over the bed. I figure it will help them sleep better.

5. I can't fall asleep without Greg home. I am a night owl as it is, and am always the last to fall asleep, but when he is gone out of town, or works late at night, or at meetings, I can't go to sleep unless he's home with me.

6. I can't think of another one. I'm not really someone who does too many crazy little things. Now with Greg, I can think of a lot a crazy little quirks he has!!!!

7. My husband just reminded me of a quirk I used to have. I used to have to do my mashed potatoes a certain way....just like my mom. Greg made them one time mixing the butter into the mashed potatoes. I like to put a little square of butter in the center to make it look nice. I'm not so much picky on that one anymore.

I tag Angelica, Tiffany, Jaimee, Courtney, Becky, and Melissa, I forgot to add you Nellie!!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!! She turned 88 years old on August 16. We had a family reunion with all my moms brothers and sisters. It was fun to see some of my cousins and Uncles and Aunts that I have seen a few times this year and the ones I haven't seen for a few years!! Grandma we love you and love living close to you! It sure is fun to have grandparents!

I FINALLY got my friend Brian back this year by throwing a pie in his face!!!!! It was such sweet revenge!! But then he got me back and then our friend Ryan (with Greg's help) dumped a huge ICE water cooler over the top of me. He told me, "At least I took the ice chunks out!" Next year Ryan........is all I can say! Everyone had a great laugh! Glad that I could provide the entertainment!!!!!

Ready, Get set, GO!!!!! I was so ready for the pie eating contest this year at our Ward Carnival!!!!! I was going to win FIRST again this year!!!!! I was so close, and then a new guy, one of my friends, boyfriend, who is DOUBLE my size decided to do it( with my persistance of course). He won this year, but we decided that we will have a rematch. Greg on the other hand, needs some practice for next year. Maybe I'll make a pie tonight, and we'll practice!!!! Also, the top picture is the bishopric, Greg, Todd and Ryan making snowcones.

I never did post the pictures of the kids on their first and second day of school. The first day I took them to school. Ryan and Takota were so excited to go. Takota was sad that he couldn't ride the bus the first day. He was excited to ride it the second day. They will have a lot of fun at school this year. The top left picture is Ryan with his favorite twin cousins, Jayde and Traye.

Just wanted to say that LIFE IS GREAT!!!!! I sure did miss my two older boys while they were at school today. They are such wonderful boys. Aspyn and Kaden and I got a little bored without them.

Well, the first day of school was yesturday. Ryan and Takota love their teachers. It will be a fun year for them.......what did I do yesturday? I hung out with one of my good friends at Walmart and then worked on the girls camp slide show that we are having on Tuesday. Today, I gutted Aspyn's room...I don't think that it has ever looked this clean!!!!! Sometimes I amaze myself!!!!! I also sat in our poof pillow and read books to Kaden and snuggled with him. It was a great day!!

Well, here is our new Bishopric. Aren't they wonderful!!! The girls had a great time watching them go down the slide, especially when it was dark and it had been raining. Even though the rules clearly state not to get on the slide after dark and to not wear slicker jackets or pants. I didn't get all of the pictures of them in the dark, because they flew off too fast, a few times spraying me as I was trying to get a picture of them and their faces. It was pretty funny watching them. We're glad that nobody got hurt. They are a pretty "Cool Bishopric" as stated by the young women.
