Lost teeth, cute hair and costumes...

Austin's 3rd lost tooth!!  Yep, 3rd!

So he's lost his two middle bottom teeth and now one more next to the middles :)

Love these pics too don't you?  His face is cracking me up!

Sometimes, Rio will let me be adventurous with her hair and other times, she is just a simple pony tail girl or headband girl which is so cute too.

I loved this hair though and thought she looked so cute so I had to take pics!

So cute!

This little Logan is such a cute boy!  His personality is pretty awesome.

I had to take this pic because as he was getting dressed, he had to wear his "long socks" like his big brothers.  Love him and he adores them!

Cozy time!  These two boys were cozying up trying to stay warm on a colder fall day.

THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!

These two wanted to be Mario and Luigi so bad for Halloween but the costumes were so dang expensive so I found some online that would come shipped from China and we waited, and waited and waited and honestly one day from their school Halloween parade and they finally came in the mail!

HOWEVER...

they were seriously 12 sizes too large!  Honestly, they would have been too big for me and maybe even Spence!

I was dying!!! My boys were so sad!!!

For about 15 minutes, I thought I could just sew them up and pin here and there and then I realized, that wasn't going to happen so,,,off to Target we went with a prayer in our hearts that they would still have a Mario and Luigi costume.

Stay tuned to find out if they did,..

Dead Man's Dinner 10/16

An annual tradition that we finally got to be a part of...

The Dead Man's Dinner.

Roxy and Angie and their families have done this for the last two years or so and it is always so cute and fun.

Here is the picture of our "dead man."

Salad for his face, cauliflower for his brain, spare ribs for his ribs, pasta for his innards :) complete with ghost hot dogs and chicken nuggets.

He looks (and tasted) awesome!

And...look how cute this is.  I found this on pintrest and made it and thought it was so super cute!

This is a copy of the Dead Man's Will -

 

Spence read it out loud and it was really funny because we put all the kids names in it and they thought it was pretty funny.

Cute pics of all the kiddos enjoying the "dead man."

I found these cute labels too for our drinks.

I love Halloween - there are so many fun things to do and decorate - just love it!

We got all our kiddos these skeleton jammies too - I know, super nerdy but they looked so cute!!!

And out of our 3 families and 12 kids only 4 are these pretty girls.

*Lia, Rio, Reese and Avery*

And here are the crazy boys.

*Karson, Austin, Blake (not thrilled about the pic), Kaden, Jax, Logan, Lucas and Hunter*

Love my 5 cutie kids.

The whole clan together!

Aren't they so cute???

After dinner and pictures, we headed out back and did S'mores at our fire pit.  It was so much fun!  The kids and adults had a blast.

Hunter and Jax

Logan and Lucas

Wrestling around - they had the whole yard to play in so of course, they did and loved that they were able to be in the dark too :)

After the outside shenanigans, we came in and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

We had such a fun night and I cannot wait to do it again next year!

Love these two families so much!

Halloween fun with friends & FHE

Every Tuesday, the triplets get to do a playgroup with some kindergarten friends in our neighborhood and they love it.  We just switch around houses and it really is so, so fun.

 One day, one of their cute friends' mom helped them make haunted houses out of graham crackers - how darling!

Aren't they so cute?

 Another night for FHE, we decided to put together our little bats and make cookies for the neighbors so they could be "boo'd".

 The kids had a great time and it was good to teach them to serve and think of others that at times may be forgotten.

Such cutie kids!

BOO!

We had to do a drop and run type of thing and they thought that was so fun!

Mom's 64th bday

This October, my mom turned 64!  Yes, I know she doesn't look it at all - she looks amazing!

She still works out every, single day and loves it!

Happy birthday mom!

She is so kind and supportive of all of us and loves spending time with us and our kids and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.  She is so positive and always smiling and everyone loves her!

We love our family and love spending time with everyone together - it is so much fun!

Sky's kids are getting so big and time is going by so quickly so I love being with everyone.

Love my mom and sister so much - I am very blessed to have them in my life as great examples of women and mommies.

Love you mom - happy birthday!

Scarecrow Festival '15

So this was new for us this year and it was a blast!

Thanksgiving Point did a scarecrow festival and all around the gardens were these really cool decorated scarecrows of all kinds and styles.

 But first...while we waited for friends, we had to roll down, down, down the hill.

*Ichabod Crane*

*Tough Army dude scarecrow*

-love Austin's tough pose-

 This was Jax's favorite - not sure why exactly - he said he just thought it was "cool"

 Of course, my Rio chose the lady scarecrow as her favorite.

It was a tribute to the Day of the Dead masks - Dia de los Muertos

 All Ute fans here!

GO UTES!

*Reese, Avery, Kaden, Hunter, Logan, Lucas, Lia, Karson, Austin, Jax and Rio*

 Austin's favorite was this Ute scarecrow

 Logan liked this one the best because he "liked his head" he said.  Hee-hee.

 Spooky scarecrow but he didn't spook this gang!

 Oh how I love these kiddos!

They are so much fun and I love seeing them all together.  I don't know why but it makes having these triplets more special somehow when they are together.  It is a fun bond to share together for the kids and moms...mostly, us moms :)

 And...how could we not take time to just play in the leaves?

There were SO many around, they just couldn't help themselves!

 At the end was this scarecrow and Rio decided this one was best - love her!

 Oh my cutie kids!  I love them so much and so enjoy watching them have so much fun!

Cute pic I think.

After the scarecrows were through, we ventured down another hill of course - you have to look close but they are scattered across the grass in front - so, so fun!

I really hope they do it again next year!
