Trunk-or-treat

We got to go with Grandma and Grandpa Jaffa this year for a trunk or treat.
It was cold but the kids were CUTE!!!
This year with the exception of Cameron I let the boys pick their own customes.
Ben wanted to be a Witch and I convinced him to be a "BOY WITCH" and we dressed him like harry potter. But he had to have the classic Witch hat!!
Ethan wanted to be a pirate, which I think was partly inspired by Kaleb's Pirate birthday party.
And Poor Cameron ended up with a handie-down custom of Yoda.

Pirate Birthday Party

Mindi and les know how to through the best parties!
In the past we've had customes parties for Kaleb's Birthday. This year instead of coming dressed up they dressed you once you got here. They had all of these fun activites where the kids could earn different parts of a Pirate custome.

They really did have alot of clever games and activites for us to play.

And the kids were so cute all dressed up.
My favorite was the obstacle course they had set up for the kids. With a pirate ship, walking the plank, ect..

Like always their decorations were alborate and really awesome, they drew pirate things on their family photos on the wall with dry erase markers, they had a pirate flag, treasure chests, lights, and spider webs, ect..
They really know how to throw a Party.

ScareCrow Festival

Grandma and Grandpa Jaffa took us to the SCARECROW FESTIVAL
We really had a fun time!

They had a ton of little carnival type games for the kids.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the talent my kids had at throwing balls and bean bags, especially Ethan he is my little athlete.

They also had the funnest blown up slides and things
for the kids to climb in and jump on.

It was alot of fun for everyone.
Even though alot of the activities were centered around little kids,
Doug and lizzie that came too had a lot of fun.

The kids were so spoiled by Grandma Jaffa,
They got kettle corn, cotton candy, Toys from a fishing pond,
they got to pick out popcorn, eat a nice lunch and
they even bought Ethan his halloween costume.

The biggest highlight for me was all of Cameron's Firsts, horsey ride, Cotton candy, wagon ride, blow up slide, ect...

APPLE FUN

So I have been kinda busy trying to FINALLY get my house decorated. We've lived here for almost 2 years and I finally got Curtains for my kitchen done. These curtains were probably one of the biggest projects I have or will ever do with my CRICUT.
I am so proud of them. They turned out so good! Better than I even imagined.

I also got these other cute kitchen decorations. They only thing I need now to complete my kitchen is a little kitchen carpet for my sink.

Ben Birthday

Ben's Birthday was no day at the Beach..Wait!...yes it was...
A FUN DAY AT THE BEACH!

For Ben's Birthday he really wanted the
RING-AROUND-THE ROSIE
cake with Dora Deigo and boots.
He loves DORA!

I also made DORA, DIEGO and JAGUAR Cupcakes for his kid party

We gave Ben an ELMO potty book to help promote more potty time activities. For turning 4 he is so ALMOST there of being completely potty trained.

He had a really fun party with lots of family near by.

Ben Also got there really cute woody and Buzz Pj's and of course he shared with ETHAN!
Arn't they just so cute!

There are moments when I still don't believe how big my baby is... Ben was my first baby and it is weird to think he is now 4 years old.

This pic has an interesting story. So I was up in the middle of the night for the last couple nights before this photo and i decided that I would nap while the baby was napping. I put Ben and Ethan in the front room with the tv on and some activites and next I know it I was wakened up with the noise of my kids playing happily from the other room and I realized it was actually Cameron's room I could hear the noise in and I opened the door to see this... ALL 3 boys in the crib playing happily!!! Some how Ben and Ethan climbed in!!

LEGOLAND

We had so much fun in LEGOLAND it is definately age appropiate to my kids!!!

First part of Aug

I have been meaning to write about these events as they happened

but more and more events kept happening... and keeping me busy.

So before out next event happens next week (LEGOLAND)
I thought I should catch up.

We gave the boys hair cuts at cookie cutters.
We normally wouldn't spend so much
but we had coupons that made it just as cheap as
Great Clips closest to our house.

Then Sunday during church, right after the sacrament, Ben slipped on some goldfish cracker crumbs and bit through his lip. There was a lot of blood and it required 3 stitches. As a Mom I totally thought I could handle watching him get stitches, until I got light headed...and had to sit down. It healed quickly and you can't even see a scar any more.
Then we Celebrated Celeste's Birthday, it was a fun little party.

Then we made Banana Bread...
It started with just me then it became a whole big ordeal,
once they saw me put on my apron..
They wanted theirs on too!!!

Then we had Doug's and Lizzies Wedding at the Draper Temple.
It was a perfect day (besides some rain)
The Ceremony was wonderful, the reception gorgeous,
and the time with family just heaven sent!!!


Then Just last night we celebrated Camerons and Brian's Birthdays! Cameron just turned 1 and Brian turned 24! It was a special combined party.

Month of July-(I guess some of June too)

Cameron is Walking!!!

Cameron is now walking, He started walking with the walker back in June and by middle of July we was walking Full on...

We went to the Parade in Herriman.

Which was a first for Ethan and Cameron and Ben was too young to remember.

They Loved getting the candy so much that we hit another parade the next weekend 4th of July. Which they were able to see Uncle Brian who performed with the Salt Lake Community Collage Marching Band!!

We also got to go to Matt's Summer Social for work. It was alot of fun with a bounce place, Balloon Animals. (a Pink Poodle and a Big Yellow BANANA)

They had face painting, bubbles, color books, balls and dinner!

The Boys also got a taste of two sets of fireworks. Herriman days and 4th of July. fireworks no longer have any excitement to me, so now I get to enjoy it through my kids!

We Aslo celebrated 2 Birthdays! My moms and Brother Daniel!

My boys and I also have been just having fun at home doing everyday things. Like gardening, vacuuming, playing on the swing set ect...

Bear Lake, camping and our little HERO!

We just spent last week at Bear Lake! It was alot of fun!

They had mini-golf, 2 swimming pools, the beach and a wonderful playground, where we spent most of our time.

Then on colder days we went to a pioneer museum,

and did some arts and crafts in the craft hut!

Then on Thursday night we had the pleasure of going out to dinner at Bear Lake Pizza,

where the kids got to ride some little quater rides.

Afterwards we got the pleasure of watching a play at the PickleVille playhouse,

Called "Annie get your gun". It was probably the highlight of my week.

On the first time, we went swimming Ben made himself a HERO!!

Little William about 2 years old had fallen into the pool, While non of the adults were watching and Ben was good enough to YELL.... "MOM, He fell in"

We were very lucky that he saw him and yelled, we have no idea really how long he was in there but we assumed not too long because he was still toward the surface and was kicking and flaring his arms. Matt ran in and grabbed him out.

The ending of that crazy fun week was our ward camping trip! It was the first time they ever slept in a tent and sleeping bags! It rained over night and in the morning which made it kinda miserable but the boys didn't even seem fazed, They had a blast!
