Fundraiser Fun

There is a seven year old girl that lives 6 houses down from us, that was recently diagnosed with cancer.  Her old neighborhood did a fundraiser for her family and we were happy to go along to support them.  They had a lot of fun games for the kids to do, and a lot of yummy treats for everyone to eat.  The local fire department even came out to show their support, and Tyler wanted to get a picture on the truck.

Happy Halloween!

The boys had a great time trick or treating around the neighborhood.  They didn't get a ton of candy, but I guess it's less for me to snack on when they're in bed!  Tyler also had a preschool program which he did great at.  Looking back I should had not had him wear his mask because I couldn't see if he was singing at all...but he sure looked cute!

Ty at his preschool program.  I'm still adjusting to preschool only be 2 days a week (and not free out here)...but I'll take it!

Monday the kids didn't have school so we went for a walk.  They enjoy being outdoors and I'm glad that it's not that cold out yet.

Ryan lost his second tooth--I pretty much manhandled it and pulled it out because the adult tooth behind it was already pretty far up.  He was excited to lose it!

Today was rough.  Like Tyler screaming outside for 20 minutes during sacrament meeting rough.  Thankfully days like this aren't too common because I definitely am not the best at handling them.  So I decided that I should finally update the blog and put cute pictures up of the boys...maybe it'll help me forget about today quicker.  Since the last time I updated the blog a lot has happened.  We moved to Utah, bought a home, and Roo went away from training.  I know it's been an adjustment for everybody, and I think that we're all just trying to do the best we can.  

A few weeks ago we went on a trip to a local pumpkin patch.  The kids had a great time at picking out their pumpkins.

Ryan lost his first tooth a few weeks ago.  Sadly it was right after we took Roo back to the airport, but he was pretty grossed out about the thought of pulling it out, so maybe it was for the best.  

We got season ski passes for the family.  I have to admit that I am really not looking forward to skiing.  I am not a fan of the cold and honestly it just sounds like a lot of work.  But the people that we've talked to around here have told us that you need to get out and stay active during the winter...or else it'll be a miserable couple of months.  So I'm going to try to make the best of it.

The boys are really excited to ski!  I need to get them warm weather gear so that they'll hopefully stay happy on the slopes.

Here are some pictures that we took before Roo left.  The boys miss him and are counting down until he gets back.

Ty at his Thanksgiving program.  He just stood on stage and didn't sing a single word--but he sure looked adorable!

We went to Mobile to look at Christmas Lights and the day after we went to the Childrens Museum.  The kids loved it!

Ty is definitely more into getting dressed up than Ryan ever was...we might have to invest in some outfits.
