Happy Halloween. The older boys went as ninjas this year and the younger ones choose to be fire fighters.

(Xander just woke up from a very late nap and was not too happy for the picture.  Once he started Trick-or-Treating, he loved it and got so excited as we would go from house to house.)

The annual carving of the pumpkins.  What a mess!

Some pics of my littlest boys...

This is Corvin's cardboard car that we built for his drive-in movie day at preschool.  He loved it.

Xander being a little mechanic and fixing his firetruck.  He wants me to mention he is wearing his favorite green socks.

Playing in the Fall leaves.

Back to the cold after a wonderful, warm, sunny, beautiful vacation in Cancun, Mexico.  We miss you sandy beaches, mixed drinks (non-alcoholic of course), warm pools and family.

We loved all the Mayan ruins.  So fun to explore.

JELLYFISH

Jumping the waves with grandma.

Yes, I can strut it a little, and yes I look stupid doing so.

Stayed on for a whooping 32 seconds.  Go Scot!

Couldn't beat him, but I did stay on for 30 seconds.

 (Well, maybe not all of us went alcohol free)  In her defense, it was her birthday.

These are my most favorite boys EVER!

Scot did some golfing with gators.

In September we made a quick trip down to Utah for Scot's grandmother's funeral. His grandma was the sweetest lady ever known and she will be so missed. It was such a lovely funeral and I am glad the boys choose to go and say good-bye.

While we were there, we decided to spend an afternoon at the Utah State Fair.

 The boys raced ducks.  Braxton's duck actually won and he named his next duck Bob.

 You have to do the big slide whenever you are at the fair.

 Gassing up the tractor and getting ready to feed the animals.

 We also caught some fish.  That is everyone except Mom.
