Rub-A-Dub-Dub!

Caleb INSISTS on getting into the bathtub when I am bathing one of the twins. He was letting his miniature Buzz Light Year take a shower & Rylee was loving it for some reason. Kind of a blurry pic - but dang cute!

Taylor also needed a bath so I thought - "Sure...why not just get them all done at once!"
Rylee has the pink duck :)

Happy Halloween

Halloween is always fabulous. It was a very busy evening! I actually took the kids to see my Grandma Babe & Grandma Carol Ann the Saturday before Halloween. It made Halloween night a little bit easier.

My foxy Grandma & the kids

We got all dressed up and headed to Angela's house for the annual Halloween photo shoot! Griffen & Blake were characters from a cartoon called Adventure Time, Caleb was Buzz Light Year & Taylor & Rylee were just cute.

Me & my cute little kids

Caleb always loves the treats that Angela gets for him. Last year it was a cat with a bobble head full of candy & this year it was a monster that spit candy out into a bowl when you pushed it. It frustrated him at first, but he LOVED it after he figured it out.

We then headed to Tremonton to see Casey's parents. We took Caleb up & down the street to get his first Trick or Treating experience. I think that he had a great time.

We then went to my parents house for a bit & then headed the the Jenkin house in Thatcher. Caleb's most vivid memory of the evening is of a prop that the Jenkin's had sitting out. It was a toilet with legs sticking out of it. Caleb was so concerned! He was tugging on the legs & saying "Oh no!! She's stuck! Somebody help her!" It was dang funny.

October Fun

Caleb loved painting his pumpkin blue. He did not want any other color on his plate. I would say "How about another color?" He would sweetly say "No mom. Just blue."

Casey went deer hunting for 9 days up to elk valley. He was unsuccessful....well, he shot one late one night, but couldn't find it until the next morning & the coyotes got it....but he said he had a great time anyway.

I love quakeys...quakies...quaking aspen....whatever/however you spell it. Casey took this picture & wants to print it & hang it in our basement. I think it would look pretty! I hope that the quality is good enough.

Casey had Shelby take his picture. His words were "Hey Shelby. I feel rugged - take my picture" I've noticed that the Freeze men like to feel & look rugged. Weirdos. The sky sure is a pretty blue.

Casey saw this cow moose & calf on his ride up to their hunting spot. I want to see a moose this close so badly & it seems like everyone does but me! Think it has anything to do with the fact that I'm usually at home????

Caleb at Paul's Patch picking out his pumpkin.

We ended our pumpkin patch trip with an ice cream treat from McDonald's. Caleb LOVES ice cream cones.

On Sunday the 30th we went to Angela's house to carve/paint pumpkins. Casey had just got home from hunting & was unpacking & showering so he stayed home with Taylor & Rylee. It's always a good time & good food.

Gardners Village

I love Gardner's Village. I love my kids. I love my family. Does that about wrap it up? One Saturday in October, my aunt made dinner for us & then we went to Gardner's Village for our annual shopping trip. Dinner was fabulous. French dip sandwiches, pasta salad, 7-layer dip, pepsi & chocolate cake.

I got a purse that I love, some discounted Halloween decor & a fun Christmas night light.

My mom stayed home & baby sat Caleb which was very nice of her. It would be wonderful if she'd come shopping with us though.

Taylor & Rylee

My Aunt Sandra loves my little girls. I love that they bring happiness to so many other people besides me!

Rylee

Taylor
Amber & Angela had their face painted. They looked very cute. Next year I might have to get it done. I love that they are kind of dressed a like & showing the same amount of cleavage. LOL

We went on a Saturday this year and the place was packed...BUT I think I liked it better than going on a week day. There were a lot of people dressed up as witches & I think it just added to the Halloween spirit.

Amber, Angela, Sandra, Ashley & Me.

Yesterday...I cried

I noticed that Taylor & Rylee were each getting a front tooth. Talk about depressing! Next thing I know they will be coming home with belly button rings. *sigh*

Taylor is in pink in both pictures. Rylee is in the purple.

I'm a quitter

Since starting my 'mini day care'. My time for anything extra has completely disappeared. I feel completely drained by the end of the day. BUT - I'm not quitting it....at least not yet. Casey's mom was so nice & bought us a 50 lb bag of potatoes. (That is not a typo. It really says 50 lbs) So, I canned some potatoes today (talk about a process!!) & I could kill over. My back & feet are killing me. What sucks the most, is it took most of the day & I only got 12 quarts! But - that is better than zero quarts. I'm hoping to freeze some potatoes as well, but I am saving that for another day!

I did have to 'quit' my church calling. I feel like such a quitter!! I play the piano for Relief Society & just had to throw the towel in. Casey works 1-2 Sundays per month & taking the twins & Caleb without his help is just way to hard! I know that all of the ladies at church love & adore the twins, but I hate thinking that some may feel obligated to help & I hate that winter is creeping up on us & EVERYONE will have some sort of cold. I have been so blessed with healthy, darling twins that I would be so sad if the ended up with RSV. Hopefully we can still get to church 1-2 times/month because I know that Caleb really enjoys it & it is good for him. Casey & I usually tend to need the refresher as well.

I have a hard time in my ward for some reason. I just don't feel like we 'fit'. In Relief Society I am the youngest woman that attends because all of the 'younger' women are all in Primary or Young Women's, so that makes it hard to meet new people. My visiting teachers are both around my age & I really like them so that is nice - but our schedules never seem to work out that they can visit very often.
