Funny little things.

We took Do-bop and Tack to Red Robin with us for lunch. Do-bop wanted a "Snoopy french fries" and Tack wanted "Volaciraptor burger".

When Kiki was about 3 all she ever wanted to eat was "Care Bear burritos"(bean burritos).

One Sunday at our new ward in Spokane we walked into the Chapel and the overflow was open all the way inot the gym and there was a large space behind the chairs and Do-Bop thought this was wonderful! He turns to me and says,"look Mom, I'n runnin," I said no. Doo-doo says,"I'n skippin" I said no He says,"I'n jumpin" I said no again. Finally, he gives up and came back looking so dejected.

Kiki called bananas "Malas" forever.

Tack would always say,"baby, baby, baby, baby" to Madisen. He was in love with her.

When Kiki wanted you to pick her up should would say,"I want ya, baby".

Do-bop's favorite food is bananas, candy, bubble gum. In that order!

Tack LOVES transformers and Pokemon soooooo much he can tell you all you would ever you could possibly want to know about them.












Maxi-kins has only two things in this world he wants. The first is me and the second is ice cream. This is his reaction when he doesn't get what he wants.

All Hallows Eve!







This Halloween has been a small, laid back affair. We went to the church for a Trunk or Treat and the next did the classic door to door trick or treat. Here in Columbus they split the city into quadrants so they can beef up the police force in those areas on the day assigned that quadrant. Our day was Thursday, so Saturday didn't really feel like Halloween. We already had Halloween on Thursday, weird huh? But it was fun regardless and the kids got lots of candy. Tack-man was the Great Pumpkin. Kiki was a Witch Kyle calls her a techno-colored witch. Do-Bop was a ghost.

Fall colors.




This Fall here in Columbus has been beautiful. I took the boys out to gather leaves to make some crafts and enjoy the fresh air









Do-Bop is our most adventurous dresser. But most of all he loves his goggles! He wears them to bed, up to the table, out to run to errands. He would even wear them to bed if we let him! You are sooooo cute Doo-doo.

One of the funnest things we did this summer was strawberry picking with my sister Jessica and her family. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved it. I loved eating the strawberries, too!

Our new place!

So I've had requests that I post pictures of our new place. It is wonderful, it has everything I could ever want.

This is what you see when you come up the walk. Yes, that is a pine tree in the front yard. It is the only one in the entire state and it was planted there by the previous owner.The main living space is an open floor plan. To the left right as you walk in the door is the dining room.This is two views of our living room. The top picture is from the front door. The bottom is from the kitchen doorway.The kitchen is a galley kitchen. It is very cute. I love it!
The next four pictures are all just as you come down the stairs. This is the pantry, it's tot he left, it isn't done yet. The wall that has the black board on it; I am going to put shelves from wall to wall. Then I am going to build shelves coming perpendicular from it creating a T. This is the laundry room it ain't pretty but I just love it! This is to your right, across from the pantry. It has lots of shelving for all of the linens and blankets, room for storage and the ironing board, and a huge laundry basket with a place to hang up clothes!These two pictures are of the rec. room. The pic. above is to your right when you enter its my sewing and Kyle's office and to the left we have the t.v. down here. You can see a door in the pic. Through there is two full size rooms that we use as storage.This is the back yard. It is just the right size for us. Next year I want to build a play house. Just outside the picture to the left is a nice two car garage.

Happy Birthday Kyle!

Kikis first day of 2nd grade



Kiki had her first day of school September 1st. She was so excited and a little bit nervous. But she felt confident in her new shoes that she got because they reminded her of Maddie and Lundie. Daddy gave her a blessing that she would have a good year. I was very proud of her because she did her best on the tests and made friends the first day. She now has friends int he neighborhood, too. She is off to a good start to the year. Way to go Kiki.





















Do-bop is now 3 years old! We went Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. It was really fun to let the kids run around and play. I made a Pokemon cake that turned out so so cute. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said that he wanted a yellow birthday. So I got him a pair of yellow boots. It was so nice of everyone to send Do-bop cards and presents. He loved his yellow birthday.
