fUnNy Story!

Parker needed to take a baby story and a baby picture of himself for show and tell today. Yesterday we(Blake, Park, Austin, and I) were going through his scrapbok and talking about him when he was little and how cute he was as a baby. To make a long story shorter, the one he chose was when he climbed in the bath tub fully clothed! He just couldn't wait, he loved the bath, THIS is the pic of Park ....anyway

last night I went to a YW meeting and Ryan was in charge. He bathed Austin and then got him in his PJ's and while Park was taking a bath Austin ran and got in, fully clothed, he thought he would do what big brother did!! :) So when I got home Ry told me what happened, I laughed and told him about what we discussed earlier in the day, poor Ry, not really!

So, I learned.....

Be careful about what you talk about in front of your kids!!! or do it like I did, and make sure your husband is watching them!! :)

Here comes Santa!!

BUSY!!

Things have been extremely busy at our house, nothing new to report, just a lot of chaos! I now have YW, Ryan has Bishopric, Blake started piano lessons, Parker has reading with a tutor 2 times each week, and Austin has his gymnastics. We have been here and there and everywhere. I thought that this year with Blake and Park in full time school, I would be able to get so much done, WRONG!!! Why do you think that is, I am more busy this year than any past year!! In between everything I am trying to get my Christmas shopping done, keep the house clean, help with homework, HAVE FUN, and who knows what else. I'm sure you are all busier than me so I will try and post something better next time My prayers are with you all, you are all the best!!! Love ya-Stace

Making paper airplanes-to throw at ME i might add! Look at how innocent they look!

Today Ry actually finished up an hour early from Bishopric and came home EARLY!!! It was exciting! Unfortunately, he was beat! They reorganized YW today & I got put back in!! It is AWESOME to be with the girls again, let alone the Laurels :) !

Here are some photos from Ollies party-it was a BLAST-Thanks Lisa-lots of fun!!

The Sharks and Whales were a HUGE hit!

Austins shark jumping out of the water:)

Liv endured a night with the boys!

Christmas Music?

So I get in the van and turn on the car to go pick up the carpool and make the long trek up to the school, and believe it or not-I turned on the radio and Frosty the Snowman blared back at me!!! I am in major shock!!!(I always am the first time I hear Christmas music for the season) But come on Halloween just ended!!!

What do you think?????????

So I thought, "Well, I guess I better get shoppin!" I dropped the kids off and ran to toys R us for some gift ideas, and the second shock of the day, there was a line to get in the store (they weren't open yet). I am amazed at what I saw today-CRAZY! So my next question is, who is done with their shopping? I usually have 50% done by now, but I don't even know what my kids need or want-they don't know either. I hope to be done by Thanksgiving! AHHH!
