Jaxon's 9th Birthday
He got to open a Bionicle that he wanted before school
After school he got to open his Mega Gun and huge Lego set he wanted
One happy birthday boy!
He requested cheesecake for his cake this year. I was happy with his choice.
I can't believe you are in the last year of being single digits

Lottie switched from her crib to a toddler bed. She was so excited and happy. She probably slept in it a total of 2 times. She stopped napping and sleeping through the night as well. 6 months later she only wants to sleep with mom and dad in the big bed. It had been a nightmare.
Our yearly sugar cookie making and decorating
One of my fondest memories as a kid and even now
This one surrounded by green frosting and tons of candy pieces is Kodee's masterpiece
Halloween 2015 we all decided to be chipmunks and chipettes
It took some work and major innovation but I got all our costumes put together for only $62!
I loved Kodee's glasses! Dollar Tree find and I just popped out the lenses. There were even days after he would wear them around the house.
Girls or Chippettes. Gemma LOVED being Brittany! Her outfit took the most work but it was fun seeing it come together. I even dyed white tights purple because the town had no purple tights.
Her yellow legwarmers were a thrift store find that were adult hospital socks
Lottie was the perfect Eleanor. So stinkin' cute! I'm so glad she let us put this outfit on her. She did not want to wear the turtleneck at all.
Finding loosy goosy socks for me was such a struggle. Those white things on my legs look like bandages. Whoops!
Such a cutie pie Gemma!
All ready to go trick or treating
Now with me in it
As long as people saw Jaxon with us they could tell who we were
Pumpkin carving! The boys wanted to do it all by themselves this year.
We all went to a local farm this year to pick and cut our own pumpkins.
It was pretty fun. The only problem was we went at the beginning of the month so by the time we went to carve them three of them were moldy and soft. We only had 2 to carve left

Final product. Jaxon's on the left, Kodee's on the right
It was so easy this year having them do their own designs and not a hard one from the pre-made packets
One night Kodee starting running around the family room jumping off the bean bag and couches.
Then he started rolling off the bean bag onto the floor. The bean bag was to the side of the tv stand so I came in and warned him that he was being too crazy and close to the tv stand and he should stop what he was doing. I left the room and he continued on. Maybe 2 minutes later I heard a thud and came in and Kodee was holding his head. He tried to play it off like he was fine but I knew.
I took his hand off his head and sure enough he had a little gash.
I called Dr. Uncle Richard and he agreed to give him a stitch.
Look at Kodee smiling. funny kid.
1 stitch is all it took.
That's 4 times now.
6 days later I cut it out myself.
That was awesome.

Visitng grandpa's grave on a stormy stormy day
look at the pretty fall flowers on each side
(Side story)-Whenever we drive by the Safford cemetery Lottie always says, "Bye, Grandpa!" I love this because that means she still remembers him, even though it's the wrong cemetery.
