Look who came to play!!

This past week Sierra was able to have her friends come and play! I have A LOT of respect for moms of multiples. It was a chore just getting them all in the car! And poor Mackenzie, when ever she would try to play with Sierra, Sierra would run away. And if Ethan or Brett would look at her or walk toward her she would run away crying. She spent the majority of the past 3 days on tears:( what a week to be emotional.

Feeding Daniel lunch

The other day while I was getting ready to make dinner I found Sierra in the kitchen making lunch for Daniel. At least that's what she told me.
He wasn't to sure about the whole idea!
She made sure he had EVERYTHING he needed!
And you can't forget to bless the food!

Just chillin

I set Daniel down to go and check on one of the kids. When I came back I found him like this. I guess I didn't really pay much attention when I set him down. He looks comfy though=)

Sunday morning

What a beautiful Sunday morning. The air is chilly, heater is on, soft Sunday music playing and everyone enjoying doing puzzles together.

Halloween 2011

We got to celebrate Halloween twice this year. The ward trunk-or-treat was on Friday night which allowed us to go door to door last night. The Bankheads joined us for a dinner of mummy's! We then got the kids ready and we headed out. We met up with the Petersons, Millers and Phillips. It was quite a sight! Sierra loved running up to each door. She caught on pretty quick. Austin wanted to go inside each house and play! The best house had what looked like a stuffed scary old man sitting on a wheel chair gaurding the candy. After much deliberation as to who was going to get the candy, Sierra REALLY wanting to be in front, and no one wanting to try to get the candy....Justin decided to be brave and reach for the candy. Well, the man in the chair moved, said BOO and scared us all. Andrew and Sierra along with many others cried. Ben laughed=) it was a fun night, one that will be remember for a long time to come.

Andrews first oral report

Andrew had to give his first oral report this week. The assignment was to write a 5-7 sentence report on a book they had read, decorate a pumpkin to look like the main character, then give an oral report to the class about the book.
He had a lot of fun decorating his pumpkin (which he did all on his own). We coached him on the written part and he decided what he wanted to tell his class.
He did his report on Sunset on the Sabertooth. A magic tree house book. And he painted Jack on one side, Annie on the other and a magic flute.
I was able to go and watch his report. I was so proud of him! He doesn't get nervous in front of people and actually enjoys it.
Great job Andrew!!!

Pumpkin patch!!!

We were a little early getting to the pumpkin patch on Friday so we decided to take a little detour to some cotton fields. Driving by these always reminds me of Georgia and I've been wanting to take a picture here since we moved here.

Then it was on to the Banducci's pumpkin patch where we were set up to learn a little about pumpkins and then go through the corn maze and end with Ben being able to choose his very own pumpkin!

Sierra, Ben, Ty Butler, Olivia Ammareal, Cammile Ammareal

The kids were so well behaved! I was very proud of them, they watched VERY intently too and seemed to really enjoy the presentation.

All of the kids at the corn maze. There were so many who wanted to be involved in the preschool groups this year that we actually have 3 that do field trips together. Today there were only 2.

Ben and his pumpkin that he chose. It looks like it has a pony tail.Sierra was wandering around and when I found her she was lounging in the pumpkins. She had a blast climbing all over them and exploring.So of course Ben had to have his picture taken!
