Halloween 2010

Halloween brought some fun times this year! Molly was Belle for Camden's birthday party.. she was a pink princess for preschool..she was a pirate princess for my work trick or treating and finally spiderman princess for Halloween night. My little Camden was a little peanut..it was freezing when we went to Bluffdale City's trunk or treat but each year gets funner and funner with Molly figuring everything out. Every year Bart's side of the family gets together and carves pumpkins..this year we went out to Katie's house cooked breakfast..played with cousins...and carved pumpkins. Another awesome Halloween has come and gone!

FIRST BiRtHdAy!

I can not believe that my baby is one! We decided to do a Halloween costume party..we had yummy Pb&J sandwiches..chips..treats..and cupcakes! Camden picked up his cupcake and smashed it in his hands and walked away..so needless to say we didn't get a picture of him digging in his first cake. We played games...painted pumpkins..and had a train that the gnome (Clay) drove all afternoon! I was so pleased with the weather and with everyone dressing up!

First Official Day...

Molly started pre-school this September and it is the best thing ever! I love that it is so close to our house and I LOVE teacher Grandma and teacher Heather...they are the best. Molly knows the National Anthem..her ABC's...so many songs...and on a good day can count to thirty! I am so proud of her...I love to see the art projects come home..the field trips...and to listen to her tell me how her day was. Molly has started this new thing..she will start to tell you a story and then finish by saying da..da..da...it's funny now but when she is a teenager and finished off telling Bart and I about a date with yadi yada...I'm going to be a little worried.

Four Years...

Four years married this year September 9, 2007...it's hard to believe that Bart and I have started this long journey over ten years ago. I love my husband..I love the father of my children and best of all I love my BEST FRIEND...to another amazing ten plus years together!!

double yolk..

The garden was plentiful this year! It grew out of control...but was sure yummy! We started get some farm fresh eggs later in the summer..we started with 2-3 a day and by the end of the summer about 6-7....we were eating eggs every morning...giving them away to whom would take them. One day Bart came in from collecting them and we ended up with the biggest egg I had ever seen..cracked it open and sure enough it was a double yolk...always something new to learn here on the farm! My sister was able to can the tomaotes for me..made chili sauce..and yummy salsa..sad to say that it's all almost gone!

Cove Fort Days

We were able to spend the weekend down with Bart's parents for Cove Fort Days..Bart and I were able to volunteer our time as the medical staff...we had just bought the trailer..it was fun to take it down and use it for the first time. Camden like Molly loves his bed and doesn't like to fall asleep anywhere else but it..so needless to say bedtime was a struggle but it was fun to camp with my family! We took our bikes down and rode all around Cove Fort. Luckily nothing happened that needed our medical attention. I was riding my bike and almost ran over this wormish looking thing. So I took Molly back there and we played with it all day..we kept it in a tupperware container but at the end of the day we decided to let it go! Our friends Chris and Wendy were able to drive down for the day...there was a bee keeper at Cove Fort...it was so intresting to me I am thinking and researching about getting some hives next summer..stay tuned for home made honey..

Green Binky..

The infamous green binky is no longer...I am a believer in talking to my kids before we do anything major for two months or so...the first month we bring the idea up and talk about..the second month we constantly remind them...so hopefully in the end it happens as smoothly as possible. So I started talking to Molly about how the doctor told us at our three year check up it was time to get rid of the binky...and I reminded her that babies need binky's more than big girls...we would put them up high when she would wake up and see how long it would take her to ask for one...then one sad day I got a text at work that said...Molly threw her binky's away!...I called home to see what happened and Molly had told Bart that she was to big for binky's and handed them over. So Bart had her throw them away...he kept them in his top drawer in case she wanted to re-nig on the situation but has never asked for them again. It broke my heart that she did it while I was as at work but I am so proud of her for making the decision...I'm more so happy that we don't have to deal with them anymore....
