A new baby

My sister had her baby last night! She had been laboring for 2 days at home so she was really glad to finally get her here. Once she got to the hospital it was a short 2 hours and the baby was born. She is darling, 6 lbs. 14 oz., 19 in. long. They are naming her Daisy. Congrats!!

A little silliness

I have a confession to make...I love to listen to showtunes while I clean my house. It inspires me, I think, and I am definitely more productive if I have music on. I just put my itunes on shuffle and we don't only listen to showtunes, we sing and dance around! The girls were having so much fun spinning and dancing on Saturday morning that I had to catch this moment of silliness on camera. It's a little blurry but Enjoy!

A Happy Halloween

Yesterday was a fun day. Karen took the kids to go trick-or-treating at my mom's office during the day and then they all went out to lunch. I was stuck at school, of course, but the students didn't wear costumes to school so that cut out some of the craziness! When I got home we carved pumpkins. Claire wore rubber gloves but Payton didn't seem to mind getting all slimey. Finally we went out and trick-or-treated at my Grandma and Grandpa's house and at Aunt Missy's. Then we were done and just hung out at my parent's house for the rest of the evening (The kids already had lots of candy and Claire doesn't like going door to door, which is okay with me!) It was pretty low key but the kids still loved it and I did too!

Fall Fun

The last couple weeks have been busy but fun. Fall is such a fun time to go and do things together as a family. I will give you the reader's digest version of the last 2 weeks.

Over fall break my parents took us on a little mini-vacation down to Lehi to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. The weather was great and there were lots of fun things to do. I think Claire's favorite part was sleeping in a hotel and swimming in the pool.




Last night my dad took us over to Logan to the North Logan Pumpkin Walk. Someone had put in lots of hours to make some pretty fabulous pumpkin displays. They were super cute but there were tons of people there and once the sun went down it was pretty chilly. We'll go a little earlier next year!

Finally, tonight Karen and I took the kids to a corn maze. I always worry about getting lost in a corn maze with the kids, but Claire is a great leader and we found our way out in about a half hour. It was a blast. They loved running through the corn and feeding corn to the sheep when we were done.
