Missons, Party and Crafts

Well Jakes little brother will be leaving for his mission at the first of November. So we went to his farewell this past weekend. I don't think my kids quite understand what Uncle Creed is doing. It was so awesome to see them get to play with him before he left. He is such a wonderful person and I know that he will serve the Lord with all his heart. I know that he will touch and change the lives of the Dominican Republic people. He will make many friends there and will love serving there. I am sure just like his brother he will not want to stop teaching the people there. We love you Creed!

Kate had a school Halloween party this week. She wanted to be Cinderella. She was so cute and very excited to wear her dress. She thought it looked so pretty!! Tagg was Frankenstein but he does not like costumes. He would not put on any of the that I had for him. I don't think it helped that dad was wearing his Frankenstein mask growling at him.

The Creepy cup cakes I made for Kate Halloween party and School.

Tagg loved helping me with the pumpkin station

This is the cute craft I made. My mom got me all the stuff and wee were doing to make it together but the weekend got to frantic and busy. But I really think it turned out so cute!!!

Homecoming day parade!!

Today Kates dance class got to ride on a float in the homecoming day parade. Everyone wore red and white (I know bad colors, HAHA), for the Rawlins outlaws!! It was alot of fun. Tagg and I even got to ride on the float. It was alot of fun. Tagg had fun right away but it took Kate a little more time to decide that it indeed was fun. She did not like it at all at first but then by the end she was waving her little pom poms and having fun. She even got to see her teacher from school watching the parade.

Kates first day of Preschool

We finally found a preschool. We had to get on the waiting list but with alot of prayers and phone calls she got in. It was very difficult for me to think that there is only one or two preschools here in Rawlins. In Utah they are on every corner you would have no problem finding one. She loves it though and does so good. She asks every day if she is going to school. I am glad that she like it and hope that she continues to like it.

Tagg Has to do everything Kate does!!!

SNOW~!!!

Monday I woke up to snow on my turck!!! I could not believe that there was snow. Of course the snow did not last long but it was still there. What did I get myself into?!?!?!

Jakes B-day

We also celebrated Jakes b-day. He turned the the big 28!!!!! Happy b-day babe even though it is a little late getting it on the blog. I love you!!!

Camping

We love to go camping. We were able to go with some friends a couple of weeks ago. The kids had a blast. Jake had a Deer tag so we decided to go along and have some fun. We stayed in Shane's huge Camper and pretty much had it to ourselves during the day when the boys were out hunting. The kids loved being out side all day long. Tag did get stung by a bee but other than that there were no major injuries. It was so beautiful up there, perfect temperature. We even got to here the coyotes one night howling at each other. Jake got to chase a bear and see lots of huge bucks.

Dad taught Kate how to shoot a sling shot. She got pretty good by the time we left.
