Fun Filled Saturday

Saturday was a project day. We worked on the backyard, garage and upstairs--all spots that desperately needed attention. We got a lot done but had some fun too. Rocky learned how to ride his bike without training wheels!!! Yeah!!!! Here are a few pics of Dad and Rocky in training or sans training wheels;-)

After a long day of work and play-- baths, a little wrestling with dad and bed!

I had to add the actual Halloween night pics- The Loot!!!

Savvy looking a little ragged after Trick-or-treating!

I think the picture says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rocky had to spread his out to find his favorites.

We went with the Flores trick-or-treating- it was a blast!

Halloween and more Halloween

Seedsowers Fieldtrip to Peltzer Farms

It was Hot!!!!!!- Monday we went with Rocky's class to Peltzer Farm. It was a lot of fun but hot, hot, hot!!!! I guess it was a typical southern California October day. The kids were flushed and thirsy - but had a great time.

Savvy at the petting zoo, admiring a bunny.




We found our way out of the corn maze eventually- Rocky was so proud!!

Farmer Rocky drivin' the tractor.

Savannah had to try.

Taking a break.

Pumpkin Carving Party

Monday, after holding up our signs on Winchester for Yes on Prop 8 with the whole Fam we went to the annual Pumpkin Carving Party our friends throw every year. We carved pumpkins, ate, socialized, ate some more, and played on the park swings and jungle gym. Fun was had and weight was gained- It was fabulous!

(Monday was a busy, busy day!)

Nice mouth full of food Mom!

Jackson and Rocky both won a prize for their masterful pumpkin carving!

The Costumes

These were actually taken last Saturday before we went to the Trunk-or-Treat. But the costumes are clean and it was light so here are the gremlins in all their Halloween glory.

Ninjas rock!

Too cute to be threatening.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

It was the best one
I could get of all three!

Jackson took his costume very seriously!

Ummmm-This is the link to the latest Twilight trailer- I have a Twilight problem- does anyone have a good doctor recommendation for my addiction?

Pizza Night

Monday night is family night and I had the dough so we decided to make homemade pizzas. I try and do them at least every other week because the kids love making them and they're really good. The kids had a good time and it was the end of a 'cleaning' day for mom so yes, Savannah and Rocky aren't quite dressed to normal standards- ahh such is life.

Savvy trying to get her's on the tray as well.

They love rolling out their own dough- We always get some good shapes.

All the Fixing's-- Cilantro, scallions, tomatoes, pepperonis and Gorgonzola and Mozzarella Cheese

Ready for the oven.

Savvy took a little direction to get it all on the dough- but ended up delicious!

Jackson's was voted "The Most Pepperonis--"Rocky's was voted "The Most Cheese"Perhaps their choices are indicative :)

Dad's choices- a little bit of everything- his was good!--Mom's choices- Mushrooms, both cheeses, scallions, cilantro- mine was the best!

I love my Silpats and Stones- they make the best pizzas and have the easiest clean up!

This is a great family night activity and we made Rice Krispee Treats to finish it off- just add a song, story from the Friend Magazine, scripture and prayer and it's the favorite night of the week!

Autumn Infatuation

I love Autumn!!!
Of course you probably know that considering it's my daughter's middle name (Yes, she was born in July). Well, decorating for autumn is also something I adore.

This is my dining room- shouldn't have used the flash.

Closer view of arrangement.

My kitchen sink- there are always dishes in my sink- just FYI- but I thought I better clean up before I took a picture :) Oh and I got the wreath at Roberts when we went to Utah for conference- cute huh? The sign over the sink says "Just Call Me Wicked"- I should have used the flash- I'm learning the new camera slowly ;-)

My kitchen island- It's mammoth- so I love putting together mammoth arrangements for it. I'll put another pic up later of this- I do that branch in the empty urn and hang leaves on it. Everyone writes things they're thankful for on the leaves- I love it for Thanksgiving.

This isn't my favorite- I'll have to do something different next year- I have to think about it!

My Mantle.

Entry console table

I'll put outside pic up after Halloween- I need more pumpkins for my arrangement.

Have an Awesome Autumn :)

Pop Warner Flag Festival

Last night Jackson had his last game "Flag Festival". It was at home under the lights. It was a lot of fun and Jackson got a touchdown!!!!!!! We're so proud. He got a medal and still has a trophy coming. It was a great end to a great season - Can't wait for next year!!

Conference Weekend in Park City

Last week we went to see Todd's Fam in Park City and attend Conference. The kids had a total blast with cousins staying up way too late and in Jackson's case waking up way too early. Mom got her trip to Quilted Bear and Roberts Crafts, Todd got his trip to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Fun was had by all. Ate too much, played too much rook, slept too little, read too many books, in the words of May West "too much of a good thing is wonderful". Todd's Dad said the prayer in Conference and did a great job. I was a lot of stress for us watching especially right after a talk on prayer, but he was up to the task. It was hard getting ready and packing sweatshirts when it was 100 degrees. But when we got there it was a good thing we packed warm it was freezing and the snow line on the mountain was a little too close for comfort for this So. Cal native. As fun as it was to see everyone it was great to be home and be warm again.
