MY NEW NEPHEW!

My sister finally had her baby last night after being turned away 3 times this week! After a very painful delivery (no drugs! not by choice!) Brock was born at 11:30pm Thursday night weighing in at 6.2. I dropped by today in between all the crazy Halloween activity's
and took some pictures. (Her camera died after 4 pictures right after he was born!)

Photo Shoot Gone Bad





I took the kids up to the canyon for one last attempt for a Christmas card picture. Lets just say Austin is going through a naked phase. I put a sweatshirt on him because it was chilly and he threw a fit. So I gave up and took it off. Then he wanted his shirt off. Usually that makes him happy, but no. He wanted EVERYTHING off! I wouldn't give in to the pants.

Any naked 2 year old stories? Once I checked on him before I went to bed and he was asleep on his bed completely in the buff and another time he was sitting there watching TV sucking on his finger as if it were nothing completely nude.

Benson Grist Mill Pumpkin Walk










So we played hookey today and went to the Benson Grist Mill for the annual pumpkin walk which is 5 minutes from my house. The kids had a ball riding the hay ride, running through the hay maze, and playing with their cousins. The highlight of their trip was the girls got a frog! They are so excited for their new pets and so is mommy!....ewe

OUR NEW PETS





So here's the girls with their new pets. We will see how long they last...

HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND ON GROCEREIS

In Sept. I spent over $700 in groceries which is just making me sick!$125 was at Albertson's when they were having their sale on campbells soup so that of course will last me a year. We budget for $600 and the cheapest I've been able to do it is $550. Groceries includes Schwans, Winder Dairy, Diapers, Wal-Mart, and Costco. I have a friend with a family of 6 that can do it for $400. So how much do you spend?

Lemonade Anyone?



So Aubree decides to do a lemonade stand in front of our house. I didn't think anyone would come but every time I peeked out the window their was a new car out front. She even got her friends to come over and help. She's definetly not shy! For a whole hour I could hear her screaming at the top of her lungs: LEMONADE FOR SALE! She made $12 in one hour! Of course this had to be the night when I'm watching Lauren (the little girl I watch everyday)I have to make 2 dinners for VTeaching, and we also have dance.
Then here's a pic. of Addie who wanted pigtails like her cousin Andee and she put the bow in herself.
