Ammon Winnie the Pooh

Sundays are the only day we all get dressed up and look nice, so I really like taking pictures. It takes me a good 2 hours to get myself and the kids ready, so my reward is a good family picture.

Well, it didn't happen this Sunday. Jarom wanted to play instead.

I take Jarom and Ammon the story hour at the library each week. This week they could wear their Halloween customs. Jarom refused of course, but Ammon was a cutie. I could not get him away from this little baby for some reason.

Trick or treat around the Library

What is on my head?

The wings and head piece did not stay on long.

Hurry, take a picture before the head part comes off!

I love pictures :)

School Fall Festival

Can you tell I really like Fall and pumpkins with all my picture?

Friday we went to Devin's school Fall Festival. It was fun for the kids. Jarom would not do anything. He has turned into my shy child!

My cuties!

After the festival, we went to play on the school play ground. The picture is a little blurry since Devin took it. I think this was the first time I have done the swings with Ammon! I am such a bad mom. He loved it.

I think he liked the slide even better because he started screaming when we started walking back home!

I love spending fun time with my kids.

We missed daddy since he was at a boyscout campout.

This week

Well, Dane has been able to retake most of his class again. He started 3 weeks into the class. So we have one more chance to pass the class or officially out of the Army, STRESS! So right before Christmas, we should know if our lives will be turned upside down or not. Merry Christmas!!!

Dane's free time project has been getting pecans. There are several tress on base, so he took the boys, Devin and Jarom, and got over 25 lbs of pecans. Devin's hands are all stained from opening the pecan outer shell. It takes weeks for that stuff to come off.

Squirrels love our house and our pumpkins!!!

Devin was very upset to find his pumpkin half eaten. It did have teeth.
Jarom has refused to go to preschool now, so Tuesday and Thursday are very hard. They have to hold him back, so I can leave. When I picked him up, he was very upset he has to share a locker with someone else. I had to just walk away to the car. So he started crying loudly on the parking lot ground next to the car. Really??? Jarom was my easy child!! I think we are in the terriable 4's! I remember Devin harder at age 4. This will pass :)

Also, Ammon has turned into a screamer!!! Church, home, store, everywhere!!!
Life as a mommy, and I would not trade it for the world :)

Fun Filled Weekend!

For this Columbus Day weekend, we went down to central Florida to see family and a baptism.

First stop on the way, was the many cotton fields we saw. Very neat to see them all over.

I just love watching my children sleep, so peaceful.
We spent one day at Down Town Disney area. Can you tell Devin was told to do this?

Ammon was very cautious with that big bird!

We spent the most time at the Lego store with lots of cool lego pieces.

The Dragon!!

It took awhile to get Jarom to get in this picture.

This dragon piece was the best! It was new. Of course my husband asked about it.

It took 12-14 employees 1 year to complete this piece.

Fall family photo on Mickey!

Greyson's Baptism

Here is my brother and his son, Greyson.

All the family that came many miles for this little boy!

Fun with the cousins. Wagons are great!

On the way home, we stopped again at the pumpkin patch. It was super winding.

I loved all the sunflowers in the back.

What a fun weekend with family :)

Our Future......?????

We got out of the contract for the house in Fort Jackson. Our life is just to uncertain right now. Dane did not pass the last brief he did in his class. This is the second time he has attempted this class, so a board has to meet together and decide our future, repeat the class again or get out of the Army. I really enjoy the Army lifestyle, so I am very sad and have been crying all weekend. I do not know what we would do out of the Army with unemployment so high. It scares me :( The only good thing I see right now is I have been counting my blessing more. My kids.... I do not want to leave them and go to work:( They are my gems! I treasure every moment I have with them. I am thankful for my husband, my 1950's house, the gospel, and our health. You never know when something could change.
