The Leaning Cake of Piza

This year for my birthday my kids made me a cake. This is what it looked like. It looked like it was going to fall over at any minute. The cake was really delicious and moist. They did such a good job and I thought it was so cute of them. In case you didn't notice that's a picture of me on top of the cake done by Noah the artist.

Fencing

Noah has started a new hobby.  Fencing!!!  This was his first tournament and he is fencing kids that are 10 and older.  He does such a good job fencing these kids that are so much older than him.  He might not win any of the rounds but he at least can score some points on them.  Next year he will get to Fence kids closer to his age and then we an see how well he does with them. I hope that he sticks with it.  It's really interesting and not a sport that a lot of kids do.  It's also a lot of fun to watch.

Lop Sided

If you think that my blog is G rated it's about to go PG-13.  So I have a really hard time weening my kids.  Hadley turned one on August 20th and I was still nursing her 2 weeks before my birthday.  This year I'm turning the big 30.  My husband thought it would be fun to go to Wendover for my birthday, but that meant that I needed to ween Hadley before the big party.  I did it!!! However this time I was completely lop sided.  My right side kept producing milk and the left side dried up.  (See pictures and they don't really do it any justice.)  Joey thought this was really funny and I have to say that I got some strange looks at the store, but what can you do.  Sad to say they are back to normal now and they both look like the boob on the left.

Halloween

This year we had a devil (Hadley), werewolf (Noah) and vampire (Logan) for Halloween.  I thought that all my kids looked really cute in their Halloween costumes.  I slaved away on the sewing machine for 5 days straight sewing these little creations.  I think that they all like their costumes.  This year we got to trick or treating with our cousins Josh, Nathan, Brandon, MacKenzie, Ryan and Shaylee.  We went to sizzler first because the kids got to eat free and then to Aunt Celeste's house.  She gives out hugh gift bags to all the grandkids and then to my parents, and last but not least Melanie's house for the Trick or Treating.  What a night!!!

Halloween Parade

Noah was a werewolf this year for Halloween.  He looked so cute in his costume and had a great time in the Halloween Parade.  Hadley had a hard time staying still for the whole parade, so she climb all over the chairs and walked around.

Aunt Celeste

My kids are so lucky to have an Aunt like Celeste.  She is so cool and they love that every 2nd Sunday when we get together she has a special project for them.  This is a picture of the project they did October.  they made these awesome little mummies and the tops were filled with candy.  Aren't they cute!!!  Aunt Celeste is Awesome
