Grandma Hemming's Annual Halloween Party!

We're all ready...lets go!

 Even Libby got dressed up this year!  Rowan couldn't get enough of her, of course.
 My little cupcake.
 Abby-bomidable...you ever heard of her?  Probably not, but Paisley insisted on being her this year.  Although she won't have a well known costume, she still looked pretty cute.  Go Monster High!






 I'm out of here...too many pictures mom!


 She's thinking, "I know you are my grandma, but something just isn't quite right..."
 Boys...

 Getting a little Cambrie love...

 The whole gang...


 Bowling with Pumpkins, Noah especially loved this game.  Once he got the hang of it he didn't want to stop.


 Paisley on the other hand took one turn, and was good.  On to the next.


 Of course we played lots of Halloween Bingo.
 My studly Optimus Prime.

 Each kids gets to win about 8 times and chooses prizes from Grandma's bottomless cauldron.  This is probably their favorite part of the party.
 My favorite part of the party...too cute.  "Where ghouls go to get their boos!"
Thanks Grandma for another successful year!  What would we do with out her?

Crazy Hair Day

We had to get a pic of her crazy Dr. Suess inspired hair today for Crazy Hair Day at school...

Girls trip to Provo Regional!

Welcome to the world sweet Etta Rose!  It's always so much fun to have a new little one added to the group of crazy kids!  Plus, we ALWAYS love our visits at the hospital for a healthy dose of Lorna Dunes and Diet Coke!  Jess just looks too beautiful to have just given birth...seriously, never in my life met anyone who gains 15 lbs. and has a 8 lb. baby, unreal.  Love them both so much!

The question now...who's next???  dun dun dun...hmmm.

Family Update

 I feel like I haven't blogged for a while, not that there hasn't been a lot going on.  I just haven't taken pictures, or they are all on my phone and I desperately need to upload them.  So here I go, with a bit of a family update, and a bunch of random pictures.

This is what I walked into my front door to see the other day...Ryan is going to kill me for sharing, but what a crack up!  He is seriously the best dad, just gets down and plays with them so good, and acts like a nerd to make them laugh.  They thought they were pretty funny.  
 Paisley hates school lunch, so we always pack her one with a Turkey Sandwich, her favorite.  I left a little note for her on her second day of school.  When she got home she asked why I didn't write it on a piece of paper and was just so confused, haha.  She did say she showed all of her friends, and they thought I was really silly for writing on a napkin.
 She could swing on swings and slide down slides all day long.  She is a climber, and is so strong.  She has no concept of fear yet, which makes me constantly anxious.  Lots of bumps and bruises for her, but she sure does have herself some fun times!
 It's fall!!!  We had a great time collecting the leaves up in the canyon a few Sunday's ago.
She is into everything, ay yai yai!  I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times she has gotten into markers and written on walls, doors, clothes, etc.  Luckily they have all come out clean...for now!!
 First time at Nursery...I had to stay with her the whole time of course to help supervise, she would probably not survive if I left her.  But she did like it (again, because I was there with her).  She especially loved snack time.
 Trip to Pumpkin Land with the Roberts kids.  They all had so much fun!



 Rowan of course couldn't get enough of the animals.  She kept kissing everyone of them that she could get close enough too, it was pretty cute.

Today we took a field trip to the Fire Station for Noah's preschool class.  He of course loved every second of it and was completely enthralled with all there was to see and learn about these totally awesome fire trucks!

Paisley with one of her besties.  Poor Jay broke her arm, AT OUR HOUSE, doing gymnastics...still all smiles though.
Later that day, I saw this and had to take a pic.  What a sweet big sister she is.
 This is what happens when you get bored on a Sunday afternoon...



 I think they wore dad out pretty good.
 Somehow I got suckered into being the room mom for Paisley's class...should be fun!!  You can find this class pic hanging on their door next week when I decorate it for Drug Free Week (We'd Rather eat bugs then do drugs!)  DONT make fun please, its my first time at this!
 Rowan was actually sitting semi-still for long enough with the other kiddos to take some pics. the other night before bed.  Love these kids so much!
