Are we that old???

Last night we spent our Friday night doing the following: waiting around at Discount Tires for new tires on the car, ordering glasses from the optical center at Sam's Club, Cafe Rio for dinner, and alas shopping for sheets, then home to tuck in the kiddos by nine. Whoa, big night out huh! It seems like not long ago Friday nights were just getting started at 10 p.m. It's funny how life changes, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Cute Halloween Treat

My sister gave me this cute idea to make Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats and they were super easy. My kids loved making them and eating them too, (as did I, YUM!) You add some green food coloring to the rice krispie marshmallow mixture, use chocolate squeezeable icing for the hair, M&M's for the eyes, candy corn for nose and ears,and red squeezeable icing for the mouth.

Vacation Fun

This last month our family took an 11 day vacation to Southern California. We went with Derek's family and we had a great time. We stayed in Anaheim for the first part of our trip and we went to Disneyland and California Adventure. It was so fun to see the kids faces light up when they saw the Disney characters. We also stayed in a beach house in Mission Beach and went to Sea World and Legoland. Carson was so funny when he saw Tigger, he snuck up and pulled his tail. When Tigger turned around Carson was really proud of himself, he laughed and jumped around excitedly. There was no question who did it, he completely gave himself up. I was surprised that Hayden was big enough to ride all the rides with us. He even rode Space Mountain which was kinda scary for him since it's decked out for Halloween. It was a great trip, it was no fun coming from beautiful 80 degree weather to wet cold Utah. We've spent the last week trying to get back into a routine. Hayden started preschool and he loves it!!! Derek started back to work and is getting ready for the upcoming hunt, and the kids and I have got the house decorated for fall.
