We are going home!(in January:)) We got a school in Hurricane! I am so excited! We have been waiting a long time to get a decent job in St George and it finally happened! Thank you Beach! It is a big sigh of relief to know that we have some work lined up for next year! I have enjoyed staying with my parents and they have been great, but it will sure nice to get home to a normal routine again! Raelei and Mason have been sharing a room and they are getting very use to sleeping in the same bed. I think it is going to be a big adjustment for them to sleep in their own rooms again. Raelei is going through a faze where she is scared of the dark and monsters, every night she comes and gets in our bed. She is horrible to sleep with, all over the place!
Zach flew to Texas yesterday to take a class on insurance adjusting. We are pretty excited about it! Tonight we are going to the Diet Dr., it has been 1 month and so far I am down about 15 pds. Wahoo!! Goodbye baby weight!

I am so excited about my bows! Ok, I know I am a dork. I have been busy busy making all types of bows! I even made this cute R(for Raelei) to hang the bows on! I am going to start selling the bows and the letters to hang them on! The letters can be customized any way you want! I also have every color for bows! These are very cute! Big and boutiqy! If anyone is interested, let me know. Thanks

Bows, Bows And More Bows

So I have started making bows. Ok I am obsessed with making bows! Every second I have I am playing with ribbon! I love it! So I am going to start selling bows and baby blankets, oh yea because I got my early christmas present from my mom (a sewing machine):) so I have started to sew flannel baby blankets! They are the best, my kids love them! So today I took a picture of Raelei's bows, I am so excited! I am going to take pictures of all my bows and blankets and put on here. So if you need blankets (great baby gifts) or bows, holler! (Raelei was trying to make kissy faces:)

My Boys

Mason is the best big brother! He loves Braxton to death! He is such a big helper and loves to take care of Braxton! He is extremely protective of him! He never wants Braxton to cry! He will say "mom, binkee!" He always wants to look at Braxton or lay by him! When Braxton got his 2 month shots Mason was so upset he had to go out and wait in the hall! Kids are so funny!

Daddy's Boy

I went to my friend Melanie's house in St George to hang out and left Braxton home with Zach. They had so much fun together! Zach took some darling pictures of Braxton! He is getting so cute and so much personality! He is talking and smiling a ton! Zach got the cutest picture of Braxton - it looks like he is flexing his muscles! Zach is a great dad! He sure does love his kids!

Halloween

Wow! Halloween is a busy time! Between school events, my mom's work going home to St George! It was crazy! And not to mention it was Zach's 30 B-Day on Halloween!! We had been planning to have a big costume party, so everyone came over to our house and Zach made his special chili(that everyone loves!) and we went out trick or treating. My neighborhood was kind of lame because there were hardly any people home and if they were they just put a bowl of candy out with a sign that said please take one! How sad is that! It seems like it is becoming more of a hassel to people than fun! When I was young there was a million kids out trick or treating, and it was pretty rare that people weren't giving out candy! Oh well times have changed, now everyone goes to the mall or does trunk or treating! Anyhow, when we came back to my house we let the kids do some fun coloring activities and paint pumpkins! We had lots of kids there so we had to keep them entertained! Zach had a great time with all the guys! We set them up in the garage so they could be as noisy as they wanted! Zach loves Halloween and LOVES to dress up! His costume was pretty funny! We had so much fun going home and seeing all of our friends! We miss St George so much!

Carving Pumpkins

We decided to go home to St George for Halloween. We went the day before Halloween, so we had to wait till we got home to carve our pumpkins. You can't have Halloween without carving pumpkins! Zach let the kids draw faces on their pumpkins and then he carved them, they really just kind of scribbled on them, but they had fun! I carved my pumpkin and set it out on the porch with a wig on it! I thought it was a great representation of me!

Mason's School Program

Mason's school put on a little program for the parents! It was so cute, they learned lots of Halloween songs and had lots of different props! I was so proud of him, he actually knew the words and actions. He is pretty shy and usually he just sits there. He is having so much fun at school and learning a lot. He is doing awesome on counting and writing his letters, it is fun to see him want to learn!

Raelei's School Parade

Raelei is going to pre school and they got to go on a little parade around the school and show off their costumes to everyone! All of the kids are adorable! She is having so much fun at school and learning a lot! I think she has a little crush on a little boy named Carson. One day she said "Carson said I am his best friend" :) dad said whose this Carson boy?? He is a LITTLE overprotective:)

Halloween Carnival

Every year we go to my mom's work (SLCC) for a Halloween Carnival! It is totally crazy, but the kids love it! They have lots of fun activities for them to do - decorate cookies, paint pumpkins, a cake walk and lots of other crazy things! We go with my mom, sister in law, Michelle and her kids - Garrett, Bridger, Ashton, Chelsie and her hubby and little girl Maddie. It's nice to get as much use out of the costumes as you can!
