Halloween

Quinton is obsessed with Spiderman. He has been wearing his costume for a couple of weeks now. When his costume is in the laundry, he just wears his hat and tries to climb the walls - a skill that has come in handy now as he tries to retrieve his candy from off the top of the fridge.

The fun starts all over again trying to come up with costume ideas for the teenagers to wear to the youth dances. (Thank goodness for the preschool dress up box and scrubs that we go to wear under our pioneer trek dresses)

The kids have become quite good at their pumpkin carving skills. Here are their masterpieces.

Just like Daddy

Horsey!!

On Conference Weekend, we went up to Logan to visit Amanda. We stayed at a fun little Lodge up Logan canyon which included horseback riding - something the kids have been begging to do. Quinn was too little to go along, so we had to take turns, but he LOVED the horsies!

But I don't want a haircut

When the kids started making his few long hairs into mohawks, I decided, Quinn needed a haircut. Thank goodness he didn't have much to cut.

USU Aggie (and Aggie wannabe)

Our baby girl is in college, and we have missed her terribly. We were so glad to have her home for Labor Day weekend. She seems to be doing well, studying hard, and having fun in clubs and institute and her student ward. We are proud of her.

First week of school

New school year, new schools, whole new world of parenting. Mandi started college at Utah State this week. It is so hard to have her "out of the nest" so to speak. Nothing has fully prepared me for this part of being a parent. We miss her a lot. Speaking of missing people. Quinton REALLY misses everyone while they are gone at school each day. It has been really strange for him to be home alone with Mommy. No one is around to go beg to for help when Mommy says no. Can you say temper tantrum? He certainly seems to have it mastered. I'm seeing little improvements though. Instead of just screaming NO WAY! he will eventually calm down and sob "kay"

Wes started at the new high school and is moaning about all the homework already. Heather and Haylee are doing well. Haylee says she is so glad to be back in school again so she's not bored all the time - except when she comes home.
