Family photo shoot with Leah

We went to a park on Sunday and Leah (B.J.'s sister) took our family pictures. They turned out so freakin cute. Leah is an amazing photographer. She got great shots of my kiddos and having her in the family is such a blessing. I am hanging in there, I had a scratchy throat on wed. and by the end of the night I had lost my voice. I dont feel sick at all, but I do have a cough and I cant talk. The worst part is trying to yell at my kids or husband and not being able to. It so sucks. Major will yell "Mom" and I will answer him but he can't hear me so he asks 15 times and I have to go over to him and get right in his face so he can hear me. We are having Thanksgiving at my house for B.J.'s family it should be interesting our house is not that big. It should be fine. I better be over this crap by Thanksgiving, or I will be walking the Turkey trot.

Halloween

We went to my parents ward Halloween party it was a lot of fun! Major got to ride a horse and Dallas got to walk around in horse poop. Dallas is my BUSY BUSY boy. I tell people that if I can just keep him out of jail I did my job as a mother. He has a rader built in him that just attracts him to messes and danger. B.J. installed cabinent locks when Major was a baby and they worked great. He would try to open them a couple of times, realize it was no use and walk away. Dallas on the other hand puts his back into it and litterally grabs the cabinent with both hands and jerks it back and forth 20 times as hard as he can until it opens. I call him Dally-turd because he is a huge turd. I could not live without him.

Playing in the baby pool in October. What the crap is up with that?

Ok, these pictures were taken like 3 weeks ago I am ready to have cooler weather sick of swimming and all the pools are too cool but it is still hotter than two cats screwin in a wool sock. You can thank my brother Ethan for that lovely mental picture. Ethan has the best one liners ever we all wonder where he comes up with them . The other day we were at his house for Sunday dinner and he walked us out to the car and as we were there visiting he says out of the blue "Well, I'm hot I'm sweating like a petifile in chuck-e-cheese!" I'm still laughing out loud about that comment. Anyways, halloween was really fun Major was Batman and Dallas was Donald duck. I want to freeze my children so they never get big. It makes me sad to think how fast they are growing up. It blows my mind to think that someday they will be like me and I will be like my parents. The older I get the more I think we are all just young kids in older bodies. Kinda crazy.
