Recap of the last couple of weeks.....

Gilbert Days Rodeo...

Jake and Caden were both signed up to do the sheep riding and at the last minute Caden back out...He did not like the "hair" on the sheep. LOL.

Jake did an awesome job (even though he had the biggest sheep there was). He scored a 70/100. We were all proud of him!

Jake and Cade before the BIG EVENT!

Getting all hemeted up and ready to ride....

My completely blurred picture of Jake...I was so exited and jumping up and down ( i guess the camera did not like that) and I was so bummed it turned out like this.

Bug Hunting with Grandma...

The boys had a half day last week so my mom invited the boys out to grill hamburgers and hunt for bugs..

My boys were in HEAVEN!

Caden found a Lady Bug!

Hunting Away!

Jakes Class gave a very cute, short and sweet Thanksgiving Concert/Feast.

Can you find my little Pilgrim?

And of course there was Thanksgiving where we stuffed our faces!

Thanksgiving is such a crazy day for our little family...We start off the day at my parents with my side of the family and eat around noon.

Then we take off and go to Mikes Dad's house and eat again around 5pm.

By the time we are done at both houses it is just so exhausting and we are definatley ready to hit the sack when we get home! Definatley not a sit back and relax day for us at all.

Oh and my new found love is guitar hero...Oh my gosh it is soooo addicting. We all played it at my parents house and I don't think I can live without it now!

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving Day!

This was the picture of torture...Caden was crying and yeah that pretty much sums it up.

Our Little Family at Papa Ryan's House...This picture pretty much screams "We are all worn out"!

And last but not least......

We got our Christmas Lights up!!!

Getting Christmas Lights up would not have been possible, but thanks to our neighboor Noah he kept the kids in line...LOL.

My son (Jake) has been walking around saying "Thats tight Dawg"..

Noah, do you know where he got that from???

Too Funny!

And there was nothing better after hanging up all those lights then my wonderful SIL and Brother inviting us over (just across the street) to their house to grill hamburgers and kick back by the nice warm fire!
Mission Accomplished!

Halloween Fun!

The kids had such a blast this year on Halloween night! Before we knew that there was a neighboorhood get together we had already planned to have some family over and cookout ourselves, but the kids still got to hang out with their friends and play and go trick or treating with them! I made some green chili shredded beef and my mom made red chili shredded beef and we made burritos and just relaxed in the garage with the family and just hung out and visited! We even had some neighboors join us for a bit! Michael and the guys handed out the candy and us ladies took the kids out.

Saturday we were invited with some friends to a carnival.

Thank you Danielle for inviting us! We had a BLAST!!

Jake climbing the rock wall-he's a monkey! The kids all started at the same time and he is almost finished!

Caden climbing--he would not climb any higher than this..I think he was like 3 ft off the ground. He definatley does not have his brothers daring personality.
