Little Football Star

Deyton LOVES football! Every morning, before breakfast he races outside and plays football, sometimes with Jace, most of the time by himself. He will get up before I do and play all morning till I call him in. He gets so excited when he wakes up early enough that the moon is still up and the street lights are still on, and has to brag about it all day. Then as soon as he is dressed and ready for the day, he's back outside again. He loves to pretend that he is playing for BYU or Vikings, and when I play with him I "have to be that bad team...Utah or Cowboys". I think he is so dang cute.

Pumpkin Patch

The other day we went to the local pumpkin patch. Even though it was SOOOO cold, it was still alot of fun searching for the perfect pumpkins. I can't believe we have to pull out our coats already!! Yikes.

Jace had fun looking for pumpkins but had an even funner time playing with the sprinklers. We couldn't get him to leave until we told him we were going on a tractor ride.
My cute boys with our stash of pumpkins. D and Jace thought it was so fun to ride the bumpy tractor. Jace was completly silent the whole ride until the end when he jumped off and screamed "Dat was AWSOME!"

Craft Time

I love having one-on-one time with my boys. When Drey is at school, then me and Jace always go out and do something special that is just for me and him. And when J is asleep, then me and D do sonething that is just special for him. Lately he has been saving every toilet paper roll in the house. He has all these ideas of what he wants to make with them, a laser gun that shoots real lasers, goggles that help you see behind you, a rocket blaster, and a bunch of other stuff. One of the things that he wanted to make was binoculars. Dustin promised to buy him his own pair of binoculars for the next time they went hunting, but since Dust didn't go this year then Dreyton was soooo disappointed that he wasn't getting them, so we decided to make him his own. I need to add that he sometimes save Tampon boxes too, thinking that they will make something cool. (He thinks that tamons are used for Dustin's bloody noses). Aaaaaanyway.....here are a couple of pictures of our work in progress and the final result of the binoculars. Dreyton loves them.

Boring Post

Ok, so this is a going to be a boring post, so most of you ought to just skip it, but it was really exciting for me. So, I've been trying to do the whole coupon thing. My friend is really into coupons and saving money, so I thought I'd give it a try. Who doesn't like to save money , right?! Well, I saved up my coupons and got on pinchingyourpennies.com to find out all the sales at the grocery stores. So, to make a boring story short, after spending over $130 on food, I added in all my coupons and it ended up costing me only $40!! I know I could have done better, but I think that is a great attempt at my first coupon shopping! So, for $40, I got 15 boxes of cereal, 5 containers of frosting, 4 cake mixes. 4 boxes of fruit snacks, 8 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 10 cans of tomato sauce, 6 cans of chicken noodle soup, and I can't remember what else. Anyway, it was really fun for me and now it is addicting. Most of the stuff I bought is going straight to food storage, but it is a great way to start your food stoarge if you don't have one. Ok, so this is all really boring to everyone, so I'll end this now. But, for those of you who know me, know how much I LOVE a good deal!

Welcome To the Big Top!

We went to the Circus tonight and it was SO fun! Watching the actual Circus was just ok, but watching the boys was the best part of the whole night. It is so fun to see things through their eyes and watch their excitment. I LOVE our family nights!

I LOVE this picture. Both boys sat like this through most of the show. It was especially exciting when the dirt bikes came out. They thought that was AWESOME!
Dreyton loved the clown nose and hat and didn't take it off starting the second we got it. Well, I take that back, he would take the nose off every once in a while because he had a runny nose and he had to let the plastic nose dry out every once in awhile. The gross thing was that when it was off his nose and drying out, he would put popcorn in it and use it as a bowl! Gross!!

Free Rides!

One of my neighbors brought his work truck home, and decided to entertain the kids with rides on the hydrolic lift ( I don't know what it is called) that he works on.

The boys are LOVING it!!
