Seattle Hill Elementary Harvest Festival

From 12-4 on Saturday this is what we were doing:) Rachel got started quick at the games... while Jayden started with smiles:) Jayden's favorite game was the wheel of fortune! (my booth) This is a big hit with the kids! Get three rings over the corn and you get a 2 liter of pop...the parents are not such fans:) Rachel was the best at this game...throw the football through the spider web! Go Rachel! Jayden kept seeing kids with sno cones, so off we go to get her one. She really is just precious! You even get to put the syrup on yourself!! Wow!! She enjoyed that bad boy! She even took it with her to the cake walk! Jayden and Grandma Taz. Brett's back was still bothering him, so she came tohelp. The girls loved it! ME and my angel! and my other angel. I love these girls! we tried, but it didn't turn out too good:) Jayden decided to get her hair colored. I love that look:) Thank goodness it was only the ponytail part! Of course then Rachel had to have her hair done. She wanted red tips and the rest just sparkles:) beautiful they each made their own necklace:) Rachel hard at work:) so proud that she did it by herself! (I guess her face would suggest otherwise. Perhaps I shuld stop taking so many pictures!) After the school carnival we went to our friend Nena's ward's trunk-or-treat! The girls had a blast! They also had too much candy, which will soon be traded for a toy!:) Happy Halloween!!! Now to prepare for Thanksgiving!

Church Carnival!

Every year our church does a fun carnival for the kids:) I am especially grateful for it this year since the kids knew they wouldn't be trick-or-treating on Sunday, so they were happy to have a party to go to! Carnival prep for the cupcake walk:) I can't help it, I love this stuff! Thanks to the Martha Stewart cupcake book for giving me direction Jayden was so excited to see her friends. Ethan was her knight in shining armor! The cute family Grandma Kathy came with us because dad's back was not doing too well. It was such a help because my kid's were going in different directions! Rachel stuffing her face after wining the cupcake walk! She takes after me:) One of the booths was flinging giant marshmallows at Goliath. Too cool!!! In one of the rooms was Hogwart's Academy. The girl's started by getting the hat placed on their heads. Rachel ended up in Ravenclaw. She was literally praying to be in Gryffindor. She thought it was real:):) Jayden was in Hufflepuff. Couldn't be a better fit! Here's Dumbledore No pictures of the potions room, the girls were too scared. The last stop was playing quidditch on their very own broomsticks! Rachel on her broomstick throwing her ball into the hoop. Such a cool idea! Rachel and Jayden with their wands! There was even a super cool sign for the train station!! Jayden and Ethan deciding what game to play next: ) Jayden and her bestie, Natalie, going fishing! on our way out we ran into another Snow White, so we had to get a quick picture! Too fun! Thanks Everett 4th ward!!

Classroom Harvest Party

As a room parent, I was partially in charge of Rachel's class party. WE had a good time! My first group at the bingo table was all boys~ Just my luck! They were a blast and so funny!!:): Rachel making the bat craft...and eating her cookie from the cookie decorating table:) ME and the princess My own Snow White. (she's holding her friend Adom's microphone. She thought it was sooo cool!) Rachel's fun class! Her teacher was Junie B. Jones!

The Farm

It's been raining a bit lately, (imagine that!) but on Wednesday there was some guaranteed sunshine! Some friends and I took advantage of this weather and went to the farm! It was a beautiful day! We arrived a little late because we wanted to wait for Rachel to get out of school and this is where we found our friends! Jayden was going so fast, her boot fell off! There were also these hay bales. The kids would run across and then jump off the end! Go Rachel! To be a kid again:) All smiles I believe this was a tire horse swing. Whatever it was Jayden loved it! It wouldn't be a day at The Farm without the duck races. Our duck was dead last. boo! Ahh...the lovely pile O corn! The kids spent the majority of their time in here. Who wouldn't? It's pretty cool. I even went in! throwing... laying... beautiful! I love this. Rachel makes new friends instantly. Here they are burying her. Is that a good thing? Jayden was full of smiles today. Good thing! Rachel had this brilliant idea to fill her socks with corn! I told her not to forget it before we left, but she did:) The Farm also has this super awesome hay maze with a slide at the end..Rachel thought it was a roller coaster! It was actually quite bumpy. I think Jayden caught some air here:) Finding her way to the slide:) Last stop was the pumpkin patch. Rachel finally found a pumpkin that we didn't get a picture of and is still not carved. Oh well. Thanks weather for giving us a beautiful day!

preschool treats!

Jayden's preschool had a little party and this is the loot she came home with:):) She's pretty dang cute! Rachel was happy too because Jayden likes to share:)

New Cut

I tried a new salon the other day and this is what they did to my hair:) Rachel took a picture... and then I took a picture:) She did better than me:) I like it, but I know I will want it long again soon. It's just how my moods are:):) Thanks goodness hair grows!
