Friday Rewind.

WOW....once again it's been like 3 weeks since my last Friday Rewind post. Totally slacking!

The Fall baseball season has ended.....thank goodness. We get a few months off before it starts up again in February. Next up is basketball for both Cameron and Easton...that will be interesting to watch Easton play. 

A couple weeks ago I had my monthly card class and I am pretty sure this set of cards was one of my top favorites. I just love the Rudolph card...i love the gold accents and sparkle. 

That same day after card class we got a visit from some of our favorite people.....YAY!!!!! 

Last weekend I did another craft fair. You can never predict how a craft fair will go or what will be your top selling items. I am not sure I will do another this holiday season. I am not really in it to make money {usually there is no money to be made for me, I am happy when I make back my Fee money}. I am in it to get new cusomter contacts. They are a lot of fun, especially when you meet other paper crafters just like you:) 

This week the kids got out of school early every day and at the same time. So the house was very loud and crazy all week long. Today Easton has his Stone Soup Celebration at school. That was interesting taking the nephews who I babysit twice a week with me. Actually the little kids weren't that bad. Bentley and Landon are typical boys and did lots of running like crazies and Grayson just stayed in the stroller the entire time....then once I heard a fire drill was approaching we hightailed it out of there and went to the park just down the street until it was time for Cameron to get out....and luckily I was able to take Easton with me and didn't have to wait for the school day to be over....got lucky there!

 Easton and his goofy smile.

Our Apple Hill plans last weekend got rained out, so we had a nice cozy day inside and then later in the afternoon the kids went out in the back and played. So we are planning to go this Sunday and I know it's probably going to be super crazy busy with everyone buying Apple pies for Thanksgiving plus all those people who got stormed out last weekend. 

Tomorrow I have a baby shower for my Brother's girlfriend....I am not sure if I mentioned it before but they are having another BOY!!!! YES another BOY! The baby shower is kid friendly because my nephew will be there so the boys are going with me. 

Cameron brought home some mealworms over the Thanksgiving break....oh joy! We get to care for mealworms and hope they don't die.  He named them Sonic and Flash. 

He asked, "Can I play with my Mealworms?".....Sure Whatever Dude!

It rained last a couple weeks ago and this is Bentley finding something to do while waiting for Easton to get out of Speech, let;s just say he was soaking wet and had to strip down in the car. 

Boys will be boys and my boys are definitely all boys. 

Seriously this is so true. 

In my dreams!

Friday Rewind.

Well once again it seems like awhile since my last Friday Rewind....Kinda slacking!!!

Lots of stuff going on over here in the CRAZY house. Lots of baseball, field trips, and other random happenings. Those dang kids sure do keep us quite busy!

A couple weeks ago we took our annual trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. This is the pumpkin farm Ryan grew up going to when he was a kid, his Grandparents lived here. It's in a small little town called Wheatland. It's much different from what he remembers as a kid. It's much more touristy and commercialized now. We started going there Cameron's first Halloween and have been there every year since. 

I know I must have a better picture out of the 5 or so I took of this pose where they all are looking.....Can't they all just look at me!

Kinda blurry...Easton and Ryan went on the zipline. Easton says, " That was so awesome...it almost blew my mind off!" Love that kid. He comes up with funniest things to say.

So after we went as a family the following week I went to the same pumpkin farm with Cameron's class then 2 days after Cameron's field trip Easton had his field trip to a different pumpkin. So in 6 days I went to 3 pumpkin farms and now have 9 pumpkins:)



 The training wheels finally came off.

 This was Ryan trying to show Easton how to steer...HAHA

 He was totally doing it all by himself but wouldn't get very far. He gets off balance and scared.

We had a wedding a couple weeks ago.......

Then the next day I had a craft fair. It went okay. I think the scattered rain showers scared people away. Here is how my area was set-up. I am thinking of doing another one mid-November...we will see. Lot's happening between now and then. 

And it rained 3 different times....out of all the days it could have rained..UGH!

We had to get dog food for Mattie and Bentley had to make a pit stop to see the cats, the birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish.

Cameron lost another tooth earlier in the week. He lost one a couple weeks ago in his sleep. He woke up in the middle of the night in a panic because he couldn't find it....we found it and all was good:)

Easton is rooting for the Royals in the World Series. He was on the Royals both years he played tee ball....so he was very excited to see them on TV playing for the championship. 

I walked the boys to our friends that live right behind us for a pumpkin carving contest earlier this afternoon. They had a blast and I so happy they can finally carve their own pumpkins. When we carved ours as a family last night Cameron was so serious and very much so into it. 

This is dangerous to have around....

Love candy corn and I will be happy to see this disappear from the store shelfs...although I might just have to go out and grab one last bag tomorrow:)

Friday Rewind.

I cannot believe we are already in the month of October! As usual lots of baseball and school events going on. This week's events were cut a little short. Easton and Bentley both got sick early Thursday morning so Easton missed school and therefore he missed his baseball game too. We decided to keep Cameron home from school as well since both Easton and Bentley threw up. It was a pretty mellow day. Easton was running a fever so he pretty much just slept all day and Bentley was super mellow and passed out on the couch. 

Here is Bentley passed out...I will spare you the puke pictures.

Easton went all day Thursday without puking and what does he do at 7pm...yes...you guessed it....he threw up! He missed the field trip today....I think I was more bummed than he was. I missed my first field trip. I like going to see the kid plays and we were going to the B Street Theater downtown, That's OK because Cameron's class is going at the end of the month and I am almost certain I will be going to that. Easton had a couple issues this morning with his tummy but never complained again and he hasn't had a fever since last night so I think he's good now. I guess it was just a little 24 hour bug. Hoping it's all gone and no one else gets it. 

I have been busy trying to get ready for an upcoming craft fair I am doing next weekend. I am trying to make lots of cutesy little treat holders for Halloween....although like always I am running out of time. I also need to hit up some thrift stores and antique shops for some display items to help my space look more cute! I can never find what I am looking for...drives me nuts! 

I am still waiting for the weather to get cool around here. It was freaking HOT today! I am tired of the heat and tired of sweating anytime I go anywhere. I also tired of running the air conditioner! It's still going to be in the high 80's for the next week and I think today was in the 90's....UGH!!!! 

I finally started my volunteering in Easton's classroom this week. He was super excited, he has been asking like everyday since I started in Cameron's classroom. I get to do Art/Easel time with the kids every Monday. I can also make up my own art crafty activity. I am looking forward to it, the kids at this age are so cute and of course there was a long line the first day because they were all so excited to paint. There was a lot of mixing colors going on and a lot of brown paint. I think next week I am going to encourage them to paint pumpkins so they can decorate and hung up at home:) We shall see how that goes. 

We have two baseball games today and Sunday I have my monthly card class. Our Saturdays are pretty much consumed with baseball and especially since all Cameron's Saturday games are at like 5:30...they even have a game scheduled at 5:30 on freaking Halloween..as if anyone will be going!!! What idiot schedule that?!  

Cameron got player of the game on Monday....I missed the entire game because Easton had practice and by the time we got there it was over. Then on Tuesday I missed Easton's game because it was my day to work in the snack bar, I am hoping Bentley will be good today so I can watch the games:) 

Last week we went to check out the Bass Pro Shop. It's Huge and has everything! The kids loved it!

This makes Ryan so very HAPPY!!!! Betty Crocker brought back the Rainbow Chip frosting. 

This kid loves to eat Peanut Butter by the spoonfuls....I guess he gets that from me. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!! 

Friday Rewind.

WOW I cannot believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post! Time really does just fly by!!! Well let's see here nothing much going on here but school and baseball. That's keeping up pretty busy for now. This week was pretty crazy, between games and practice we are at the ballpark 6 days....Monday to Saturday. And today Ryan and I have a wedding to attend so I will be hightailing it home to get ready and the boys will go home with Grandma. 

Yesterday Easton had his first field trip as a Kinder and of course all the kids were super excited and running around like a bunch of crazies.  After the field trip I had to go dress shopping for this wedding today because the dress I ordered online just wasn't going to work  I manage to find a dress and find Ryan a shirt in just under an hour. As I was trying on dresses Easton said to me, "Mom...You look good". The things kids say sometimes is so darn cute. No clue what made him think to say that or where he heard it from. 

A couple weeks ago over the Labor Day holiday Ryan and I got a couple days to ourselves without the crazies. First little trip without them in over 2 years and the last one was a camping trip with the Jeep as well. We went to the Rubicon 4x4 Trail for a huge fundraiser they have every year....Cantina for the Con. We went up Saturday afternoon after Ryan got home from work and stayed until Monday. We will for sure be going back next year. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it. It's awesome to see all the different Jeeps, buggies, and rigs. 

 Our awesome new instant tent that goes up in like a minute...why in the world didn't we have one of these sooner!!!

This is the forth time this summer Ryan has taken the Jeep out and that makes me so HAPPY. He loves that stinking Jeep and loves to go out on the trial. I wish we had time to go more. And now that the kids have gone a couple times they love it and can't wait to go again. BUT taking the kids is so much more work!!!! It may be getting too cold to take the kids this late in the year. I do know Ryan is itching to go again soon. 

 

Cameron lost another tooth at school the other day. Some of his teeth have been loose FOREVER! Like over a year. His top front 2 teeth have been loose for like a year and a half, barely loose and the one just fell out last month.

I scored another deal with Direct TV and we got the NFL Sunday Ticket for FREE again this season so of course Ryan is in football heaven on Sundays, he's super stoked about getting to the Packers place every week considering they are rarely on network TV here since we are on the West Coast....GO PACK GO!!!

Last weekend was card class and here are the cards we made. Sweet and SIMPLE I like to call it!

Easton was very excited to be able to get his turn at catcher last week. He had just fallen and was about to have a serious meltdown and the coach asked if he wanted to be catcher and his frown turned upside down real FAST.

Of course I have to throw in a picture of this little cute crazy kid.
