Happy Halloween Every One!!!





Every year we start our Halloween ventures out at Great Grandma Frampton's house. We had so much fun!! Every year a lot of her leaves have fallen on the ground and I get some of the cutest pictures at her house with the kids. I am going to see if I can have pictures taken their with my family next year its a great place to have pictures taken.






After Trick or Treating Grandma's the kids went out and played in the leaves. Hunter was suppose to be collecting leaves for a school project so great grandma pulled out the rake and was knocking down some large leaves for him to take to school. The kids loved having the leaves fall on them. As the leaves fell Hunter and Easton ran around filling their trick or treat baskets with leaves (which I think they liked more than the candy)!!




Then I took advantage of having the kids at grandma's I took some pictures of them in the family tree.









Next we went to Grandma Godfrey's to spend time with the family. We had yummy potato soup and then went trick or treating with all the grand kids.





Over by my parents house live the owner of Pegleg Paintball. He decks his yard out every year with big blow ups and a grave yard and 2 full size hearses. We walked around his yard and stopped for a few pictures.





Next we went to grandma and grandpa Greene's and had the kids picture taken with them and then came home. It was a fun filled Halloween night.

Hunters School Halloween Party


Hunter was so cute at his school Halloween party. He paraded around the gym with the rest of his class mates and then they stood in front of all of us singing their cute Halloween songs they had learned. it was so cute.
This is a picture of Hunter after the party with his friend Jordan and his brother with Easton. Aren't they cute?

Halloween Fun at Cornbelly's






Brooklyn, Cameron, Jaycee, Hunter & Easton


A few weeks ago Russell and I tried to take the kids to Cornbelly's and we were there for about 10 minuets and it was so cold that we ended up getting tickets to come back and so last night we went with the Watkins family. It was a great night for going out it was quite warm and there was a slight breeze for a few minuets but it was fun.





We did the hay ride, and as you can see Russell and Jay did bull riding, and they had a princess land where Betty and I sat in Cinderella's pumpkin coach. They also had a play land, the big blow up monster and the cow train ride plus so much more. It was a lot of fun!! Thanks for going with us Watkin's clan!!


Oh yea Jay had me take the cutest picture of him and Shaleen and I have to posts it!! Aren't they cute!!!

Pumpkin Fun







This is a family tradition that we have done every year since Hunter has been born. We always get together as a family and carve our pumpkins for Halloween. I take the pictures and Russ carves the pumpkin's with the kids!! I have never been good at cutting pumpkins and Russell has always been able to carve them just like the pictures. Both the boys choose to no surprise skulls and I chose for Betty-loo a ghost in a pumpkin.

Cute Babys



Last week I went to my mom's house because Ginny came with Wyatt and I was so excited to be able to hold him again and get some more pictures. It is funny to see how tiny Betty is. Wyatt is such a cutie and I had such a good time with them!!!!

Scarecrow Festival






Last night for Family Night the Kids and I went to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point with one of my very best friends Shaleen and her family. We had so much fun!! There were a lot of fun games, entertainment and good food!!


While we were there we ran into Shawn Bradley. For those of you who know Jay you know he is very tall, Russell goes to his shoulder and as you can see he looks short compared to Jay. He is 7; 6". Shaleen asked him if he had any kids and he said yes 6 - 4 girls and 2 boys in that order. He said that his oldest it 14 and the next daughter is 12 Shaleen asked if they were tall and he said that the 14 year old daughter is 5' 11" and the 12 year old is 5' 9" - can you believe that I know I am not tall but to have a 12 year old that is 5" taller than me its crazy!!
Also my neighbor behind me helped put the fundraiser on and when it was over he brought my family pumkins and cornstocks from the event!! Thanks Mike for being so thoughtful!!
Thanks Shaleen for inviting us for a fun night out with the family!!

Welcome Baby Wyatt!!






YEA!!! Baby Wyatt has finally arrived!! For those of you who don't know my older sister Ginny had her baby on October 15, 2008 around 1:30 am. He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 inches long. I am glad that he is here!! He has beautiful blond hair and is a doll!! Despite the terrible delivery.


I was so blessed I was able to keep her 2 girls at my home while she was in the hospital. They were so good and I will tell you I cant believe the difference between boys vs. girls. Hunter and Easton loved having them here and sat up until after midnight talking (well Easton kept talking :)!!! )


I have to vent a little bit though. Having a baby should be a fun experience that you remember for a long time and I have to tell you after talking to my sister and hearing about what a horrible experience she had because of her nurse I felt really bad! To make a long story short the nurse spilled my sisters own vomit all over her, and after the birth of her son dropped the bowl where the put the placenta and after birth and splattered her with it and just when you think it cant get worse she ran her into the wall 3 times taking her to the mothers room. I believe that my sister should get a considerable discount on her bill for her delivery!!

Also a special thanks to Sherri for letting me borrow her camera so I could get these pictures of baby Wyatt.

Thanksgiving Point Halloween Fun



For Family Night this week we decided to take the kids to Thanksgiving Points Corn Belly's. On the way it we had to stop and get gas and while we were at the gas station there were some military people there gassing up their Humvee and Hunter thought that they were so awesome and wanted to see if they could take their pictures with them and of course they were great and said sure and it was really neat Russell walked over and said some fake Super Hero's with the Real ones and I thought how true!!!
We then went to Thanksgiving point and by the time we got there the sun had gone down and the wind picked up and it got too cold to have Betty there so I got tickets to be able to come back and went and sat in the car while Russ rode the go carts with the boys for a few minuets so they didn't feel jipped.

Deer Hunt 2008





Every year Russell and his family go on the Muzzle Loader deer hunt together. Its a fun family trip. While the boys go hunting we stay back to camp and scrapbook and ride 4-wheelers. This year we were really lucky because not only did Russell's mom, dad, and sister and her little girl go, along with 2 of Shelly's kids. His Uncle DeR and his entire family came out.



Russell's Cousin Jode has 2 boys and they are the cutest boys!!! They are so nice to my kids and Hunter and Easton adore them!! They shoot with them, ride 4-wheelers and even went hunting for birds together. It was a lot of fun.


It was Funny, before we got to camp they were having quite a problem with Wasp's and So Russell's uncle DeR had gone into town and gotten some bug spray and I was making some bracelets and looked out the window and there all his family sat with there bug spray killing as many wasps as they could before the rest of the family showed up. Of course you know me I had to get a picture of it!!




Because Betty is so small I didn't go on a 4-wheeler ride until Russell could take me because I obviously couldn't drive. The last day we went into this area that was so beautiful. The Aspens were changing colors and there was a road that as you can see was surrounded by nothing but aspens. It was beautiful and Russell was a doll and let me stop and take several pictures of them on the ride. It was a fun trip!!
