Lion and Devil and Blue's Clues....O MY!!!!

Halloween was a huge success this year. Shantel was all into dressing up and really excited to be a devil this year. She was a little too shy to say trick or treat, but she is starting to get the idea. Kallie was great. She would run behind Shantel and grab handfulls of candy and yell thank you. Keegan had Limo service and was pushed in the stroller behind his rowdy sisters. He even got a little candy!

Pun-kin Time

Carving pumpkins was done in shifts this year. Due the my new schedule at the new hospital and the kids being sick we didn't have time to do it as a family. So I carved Keegan's and Kallie's pumpkins with the kids and Gary carved his and Shantel's the next day while I was at work. Shantel carved her own pumpkin all by herself and Kallie had a little help! Keegan tried to eat the insides and found out they weren't so tasty after all.

Scarecrow Festival Oct. 13th

Shantel our little dancer danced again. She had only 2 classes to learn the Halloween dance and she performed fabulously!! Of course she was in the back... Why would they put the shortest girls up front? Maybe too logical? She stood behind a girl who stood there the whole time without dancing, while Shantel danced her heart out. I need to teach her to be a little more assertive and jump onto front stage!

The scarecrow festival would have been loads of fun if it wasn't raining. Thanksgiving Point did a great job with lots of activities for the kids. The girls got to bounce on a few of the bouncy slides and we got to ride the "train", but do to the very yucky weather we left earlier than anticipated to enjoy a family lunch out!

Discovery Gateway!

Shantel and Abbie doing a play Kallie at the check out!
I finally decided to try something new with the kids. My friend Liz played hookie from work(sorry secrets out) and we took the kids to Discovery Gateway AKA Children's Museum. Little did we know that two days later we would be able to see the Robots Exhibit. Oh well, such is life. The girls liked the ball sucker tubes, aka the Garden. Kallie's favorite was the construction Zone. I never knew putting big fake blocks down a tube could be so fun. Shantel enjoyed the new broadcasting the best. I guess girls like to see themselves on TV. She was very cute making up news stories. Maybe she will take after daddy and go into the radio/TV business! Keegan's favorite part was going home to take a nap. Poor guy was pooped. The helicopter was also a bighit...who knows they may follow mommy's steps and work for IHC!! ha ha!!

Life Light Pilot? Future Broadcater??

Utah State Fair!

Wheeee! Daddy & Shantel on the BIG Yellow Slide

There were a lot of firsts this year at the Fair. Mommy wasn't pregnant, Kallie rode her first horse, both girls got to ride the rides and we all tried the dippin dots!! Of course the best part about the fair is the food. Hands down! You can't go to the fair without having all the delicious junk food. Navajo tacos, scones, kettle corn, corn on the cob...yummy! The girls loved the animals and actually got the nerve to pet them, and Keegan just stared at the big smelly things. He will have a better time next year.

Shantel is back in Pre-School

Shantel stiking a pose! or TWO!
Kallie trying on sisters backpack, she wants to go to school too!

Shantel is back in pre-school for another year. Her first day back was Sep. 7 th. She is so excited to be back with friends. (It gives me a little break as well) We decided it was time for a hair cut and gave her a little bob. She surprisingly loves it too.

Kristine's Birthday

I have celebrated another birthday and yet I am still a young one!! My birthday fell on Labor Day this year and yes, I had to work. But that is ok I had two weekends to celebrate!! Gary surprised me with a new car..oh wait SUV. Want to know the best thing about it? It fits all 3 kids and the stroller with room to spare! The kids would tell you the DVD player is the best!!
