[Father & Son]

If I were to say that Chris was disappointed that our ward didn't have a Father and Son camp out this year that would be a major understatement. So as soon as work slowed down a little, a couple weeks ago, he took the boys camping with his dad and Robert. They went up to Panguitch Lake. Chris said it was a drive, but it was worth it. They rented a boat on Saturday and went fishing. I think that was the boys favorite part!

I am so glad that they can make special memories like these and I am very thankful they all came home in one piece!

365- Week 40

Week 40! Crazy! There are only 12 more weeks this year.

In between watching conference Nick and I went for a run. Last year we raced for speed and he whooped me. This year he wanted to go for distance and was determined that he could beat me again. Not so much! He was dying like 5 minutes in, but he is one stubborn boy and would not give up. About a mile and a half in he couldn't do it anymore and just lied down on the sidewalk. Luckily Chris was driving next to us for this very reason. He picked up Nick and took him home while I finished running.

For the longest time I have made my kids sleep in their own beds on school nights, but I have found that they sleep better together. And I think that it is pretty cute that they like to sleep together, I know this won't last forever! This is Nick and Cooper sleeping in Nick's bed. It is a full, so really they didn't have to share Cooper's pillow!

I L.O.V.E. her!

A BIG scare

09/25/11

My mom was on her way home from Reno when her tire blew, she lost control and rolled her car.

No serious injuries for rolling 3 times, but 8 staples in her leg, some broken toes, bruised ribs, and smashed arm. And that makes for one sore mama!! Her accident happened more than 2 weeks ago and she is just barely now able to do a little. I feel so bad. I am so thankful that she is okay because I do not know what I would do without my mom!

Nick has been playing catcher a lot this season. Chris took him to get his own catcher's gear that actually fit.

Cooper was so funny this day!! He went and got the mail all by himself. I figured I would start walking down there to help him, but he did it! Then he asked if he could open one of my letters(bills). After that he saw an ad for Bass Pro Shop and started studying it. He brought it over to the couch to get a good look. "Dad needs these pants(camouflage) so he can shoot the birds!" It was too funny!

Aubrey just hanging out while I was doing laundry.

09/30/11

The kids are the Stuckey Super Heroes, so for school they had a contest to decorate their logo. Nick and Alex used colored sand and won 2nd and 3rd place. I was pretty shocked since we did them the night before. Chloe was pretty sad that her diamonds didn't win. Nick was a super nice and gave his prizes to Chloe when he saw her crying after school. Man, I love that boy!

365- Week 38

A very sad week of no pictures! Getting so busy, kind of forgetting to take pictures of the things that are making us so busy! And if it wasn't for my phone we wouldn't have any pictures this week!

Chris took the boys camping for the weekend, so it was just the girls at home. I got a babysitter for Aubrey because she was sick and Chloe and I went to dinner and the movies for Hailey's birthday. Corndogs at Wienersnitzel and to see Dolphin Tale, it was a fun night!

CRAZY busy!!

Just after school started back and we got into a nice routine with homework and such baseball started! And baseball is alot!! Our after school schedule is kind of ridiculous!! We are busy every night of the week.

Chloe was invited to be on the competition team for dance this year. So she went from 1 hour of dance a week to 3.

I just wanted to document how crazy our life is now. Maybe I will look back in a few years and want to be this busy again, but anyways.

Mondays Nick has a baseball game.

Tuesdays Chloe has 2 hours of dance and Alex has a late baseball game.

Wednesdays Nick and Chloe are taking piano lessons with Granny.

Thursdays Chloe has dance and Nick has boy scouts and a late baseball game.

Fridays Alex has a baseball game.

And that doesn't include anything else that comes up like Open House at school tomorrow, HOMEWORK, Bunco, book club, and the list goes on and on.

So, this is why I am so behind! I spend my day while the kids are at school trying to catch up on housework and laundry before I go to work as a taxi driver every night!!

My little Hunny's

Tuesday night Alex's baseball game was cancelled because of the weather so we had a rare weeknight at home. After dinner I grabbed the Halloween buckets down and let the kids play. They totally love dressing up in all the costumes!

I tried a couple of the kids old costumes on Aubrey(she did NOT like it!) and when I was taking a picture of her in the Hunny Pot costume she was squatted down and she reminded me so much of when Chloe was her age. I still don't love the costume, but we called Chloe "Hunny" ever since she was born(Nick gave her that nick name when he was 18 months) so the costume just fit and now Aubrey seems to be our "little Hunny". Aubrey's hair has always thrown us off, but I think that Aubrey looks just like her big sister!

Chloe was a little more chubby, probably because she wasn't such a picky eater like Aubrey.

As I was looking back through pictures it is so weird because Aubrey makes a lot of the same faces as Chloe did. It is like looking at Aubrey with blond hair! And tonight it just hit me that Aubrey is the same age now as Chloe was when Alex was born, so crazy!!!
