Literacy Night

Wednesday Night we had a literacy Night at our elementary school. I am so impressed with our school and the emphasis that teachers put on reading. They only wanted the 1st and 3rd graders to come this particular night. I lucked out seeing how I have a 1st and 3rd grader. They encourage the kids to wear their Halloween costumes which was great to have an excuse to wear them more than once. To start off the night the music teacher lead the kids in some Halloween songs that they have been learning. Easton got to play the tambourine. Then they split off into their own classrooms. I went with Easton and Aaron went to Abbey's class. The teachers went over with the students and parents the importance of reading and we played some fun games with rhyming and exercises in helping the kids retain what they are reading. I didn't know what to expect before we left, but it turned out to be a great night. We even got refreshments after. Now that makes it well worth it :)
Easton on stage doing what he does best....entertaining the crowd. He is suppose to be Indiana Jones.

Ty, in his superman costume. He didn't have to wear a costume but I couldn't talk him out of it after he saw his brother and sister in their costumes.
Abigail posing for her dad in front of her classroom. The costume description is a Southern Belle, but I told her that she was "Little Bo Peep". She said, "Who's that." I guess I need to do better at teaching my kids the nursery rhymes.

My Mighty Deer Hunters




Guess what Aaron and Easton came home with???!!!! Yes, another deer. Actually I am proud of them. Aaron was planning on hunting another couple of days but he got his deer and was able to come home. I miss him when he leaves and I'm happy that he is back. I'm usually right there with him but I had a wedding and tons of paperwork so my boys went and had their male bonding time.

My Birthday Boy

Is my sweet boy really four? That is the question I have to keep asking myself. He is my baby! Yesterday was his birthday and we had a really great day. I made a cake....nothing fancy as you can see but I did make homemade butter cream icing that was so good! We packed everything in when the kids got home from school and got their homework done that we didn't have cake until almost bed time.




We went bowling! We went a month ago and Ty loved it so much that when I asked what he wanted to do for his birthday he said "Bowling!." His ball took so long getting to the pins that he decided to rest for awhile.

Easton is turning out to be a pretty good bowler for sure.

The pajamas and the mask are some of the presents he received.

Catching Up!

I have so many pictures, and things I haven't posted in the last two months of our crazy life. But here are our most recent photos. We have moved to Mesquite, Nevada. I am still in shock. This past weekend we went back to Kanab (home) to see our family. My kids have missed their cousins so much. I wished I would have gotten a photo of the Hoyt cousins. This photo was taken in Grandma Bonham's backyard.



Abbey, Shayden, Cooper, Easton and Tyler


Grandma Bonham has a basketball hoop for the

kids on their back patio that Easton loves.

This is my diva. Her Grandma took her to a yard sale

next door and she bought the glasses, the hat,

and the purse. Everything a girl needs right?

This is our backyard in Mesquite. Aaron took

pictures of the kids right before we went to church.







We have met some really nice friends in our ward.

After church they came in their oversized golf cart

to give the kids a ride.
