Hunting and Halloween

 

The weekend started out with this.  The boys and Ryan went hunting on Thursday evening and back packed in and stayed the night and then went hunting on Friday. It is so fun to see these boys when they are together. They were all excited when they left and I wish I could have gone just to hear all of the stories and the fun that they have when they are together.  It really makes me feel good to know that these brothers are such good friends. Ryan tells me how much fun he has when they are all together. (So, thank you to all of you wives out there that let these men have their fun for a couple of days.)

 

Yes, they all got a deer!

 

Isaac, got this one.

 

and Ryan got this one. It's kind of funny that they all shot their deer in the very same spot! Man, they must be good hunters!

 

There must be a lot of these bucks up in the mountains!

 

Too bad they didn't get a picture with all of the deer together.

 

Oh, they did get one with all of the "dears" together!

Mac really was the marksman on this deer. (Thus, he gets to hold the head in the picture.)

 

This one cracks me up! It was dark and I was afraid that they were all closing their eyes when the big flash went off so I told them to close their eyes and then open them when I counted to 3. This is what I got!

 

On Saturday we went down to Lynette's for a party that she and Nancy planned for all of the grand kids. They all wore their Halloween costumes.  I brought Lincoln, Kace and Tydon and when I went to pick up Lincoln he was SO excited! Mary said that he had been carrying around his costume all morning waiting to go. He's a little shy in this pic.

 

Kace was a Sumo! On the way down Tydon had to keep telling me that Kace's costume was so funny and that he was wearing a diaper! Kace didn't wear his costume in the car and then told me. "Grandma, my Mom, thinks my costume is inappropriate."  I asked him why she thought that and he said, "Because I have a bare chest!" When I saw his costume it made me laugh.

 

Here is Tydon as the black spider man.  He loves the black spider man for some reason.

 

We started the party out with a parade of costumes.

 

Here comes the parade!

 

There are Jedi's, spider mans, Rapunzel, black cats, Princesses, Dracula's. vampires, scooby doos, witches and all sorts of goblins here.

 

It was so fun to see how excited these little kids are to dress up!

 

Even baby Eleanor dressed up! Can you believe that Em is 6 weeks away from delivery!

I loved it when she laughed, her little belly jiggled the pumpkin!

 

The little girls, McKenly missed this one because she wasn't here yet.

 

The rest of the girls.

 

Kace was the leader of the parade and he stayed in character through out the parade.

 

It was a beautiful day and so much fun!

 

The Cannon's arrived!

 

Bryce wanted to be a tortilla, he got his wish!

 

We ate mummy dogs, witches teeth, witches fingers, spider juice, and decorated cookies for dessert.

 

and they all got to go home with a pair of these.

 

These were a hit as you can see.

 

Love it!

Thanks Lynette and Nancy ( and all those who helped) for a fun party!!

Happy Halloween!!

The Champions!!

 

Yesterday I went to watch Kace play in his last football games of the season.

I say games because he played three!  They consisted of two, ten minute half's.

 So they went pretty quick, for a football game.

 

This was after the first game that was played at 8:30 in the morning.

 

They won the first game against Layton so they then played again at noon against Roy and they won that one too!!

 

The third game was played about 20 minutes after the second game and they played Box Elder.

Now this was the same team that they had played in their regular season and as Kace put it, " his team got their butts kicked."  I watched that game last week and Kace's team did not play very well so, I thought maybe they would have a chance this week to show some redemption.

 

The 2 teams were actually pretty evenly matched and the game ended 0 to 0.  Kace's team had the ball on offense most of the game but were unable to score.  They went into overtime and each team would get it on the 50 yard line and have 4 downs to score.  I thought, "Why didn't they start them on the 10 yard line because the way the game had gone neither team had been able to score.  But they started on the 50 yard line and Kace's team got the ball first. The first play of the game Kace got the ball and ran it 50 yards for a touch down! They then held Box Elder the 4 downs and actually recovered a fumble to finish the game.

So, they were the champions!

Too, bad I didn't get  a picture of the touch down.

 

Here they are!

 

All smiles today!

 

I'm not sure if Kace has a smile or a grimace, because he has to get his picture taken again!

It was fun! Way to go Kace!!!

Fun in Nebraska

It was very fun to be here on Livy's 4th birthday, she was so excited she could hardly stand it! She had to keep whispering to me that it was her birthday!

Of course she got everything that she wanted!

A barbie to style hair for.

Sofia was excited as well. It's fun for every one when someone has a birthday.

I made this sweater and skirt for Livy and I am glad that she liked it!

She even got a Polly Pocket that was so fun to get wet.

Sofia loves "cheesin" it for the camera.

the favorite afternoon activity is to go out in the front yard and play in the street. I know, I tried to keep them safe but the driveway slopes and they all end up in the street.

Luckily it isn't a busy street. Jaedon has learned to ride his 2 wheel bike.

He is getting to be quite the pro, now if he could learn to stop and turn maybe he wouldn't have so many scrapes on his elbows and knees.

Sofia loves to do whatever and plays on the scooter, bike, but I think her favorite is just pushing the big stroller around.

Livy had her special birthday cake complete with Rapunzel, Flynn, and even Pascal.

Saturday morning we went and had family pictures, this is the black and white version, you will have to see all of the cute photo's from Mel.  These were just some of the in between shots and I did them all in black and white and accented the yellow.

Baby Jack was pretty much this pose the whole time.

Livy loves her new baby brother.

Sofia was most entertained by the
"Daddy Long legs" on the wall of the barn.

This was the most excited that she got.

You're so cute Livy!

Yep. baby Jack's favorite pose.

Oh, the dog did get Sofia excited too.

Here Jaedon smell this!

Jaedon's Cheese!

In the afternoon we celebrated Livy's "Tangled" party!

Livy still has her crown on, she loved her party!

I love this little girl, sure going to miss everyone!
