Connor has had a loose tooth for awhile. I have tried to pull it and he tells me not to hurt him again. I went to pick him up from school and he comes up and tells me that his tooth fell out. I told him I was sad that I missed it, he got sad and he said " I am sorry you missed too".

Usually on Thanksgiving Carrie and I run some random route. This year we joined Rachelle on her first 5k, Wayne and Livia even joined. I did learn a lesson next time I want to try and pose like Livia make sure your not in a black jacket with black gloves you cant see the peace sign.

We had Thanks giving at Grandpa and Grandma's Jamieson this year. Like every year we have great food, conversation and family togetherness. Each year I am in charge of green beans. I love green beans. James knows how much I love green beans, and he loves to tell the story of how I had 5 or 6 blows before we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. Because the weather was nice Connor and Caleb went outside to throw the football around. Parker knows that if we are at Grandma's house there are apples to eat and if uncle Brian is around he get to play game's on his phone.

In Mom and Dad's ward there is a family that started an activity called pie night. So Mom throw a pie night with her siblings. A cousin of mine asked if we were doing pie night this year so we did. I love being able to spend time with family. And my boys love being dropped from the ceiling, thrown into the couch and being able to wrestle.

Parker had a little alone time with Grandma's leaves. I don't remember why James and Connor didn't come along with us.

We were able to sneak away for the fall carnival this weekend. The boys love going down to see Grandpa and Grandma Jeppson just not the long drive down. Parker is a big fan of throwing rocks in the creek. Raider and Lulu even got into the bigger the rock the better.

I have always wanted the kids to get their pictures taken here. Maybe they have and I just can't remember so I made them.

Parker is anti walking. So Owen was kind enough to hold him the most of the way, until we had to take the kitten back that were following us.

Poor little head! He was on the wiggle cars and ran right into Grandpas front bumper.

We are so grateful to have Lulu in our family. She is willing to do what I would rather not do.

The carnival was a lot of fun. The boys loved doing all the games and going on the hay rides.

Raider has wanted to go to Lagoon and do frightmares, so when Rachelle called we said yes. The boys were happy to do rides and be with cousins. We had a great night with our family thanks.

I received a call saying that the ward was in need of help cleaning the Stake camp ground and not a lot of people signed up. So we woke the boys up early and headed the the mountains. The boys were in heaven they got to play in the dirt and with trucks. One of the brethren let the boys try and cut some of the branches off on of the sticks. I thought the boys would like to put the logs in the trailer but that only lasted a few times then back to the dirt!

Raider got some time off work and we headed up the Powder Mountain with his family. The boys were in heaven throwing rocks, swimming and being with cousins. The condo gets real small with the whole family up there so I told the older kids that we were going to hike up the night ski run. They giggled a little but agreed. We ended up hiking around the corner to the ski lodge and playing on the old crane that was there and the ski lift chairs. Raider made Orange Julius for old time sake. Plus Connor asks for them every night its one of his new food groups.

Connor love to ride his bike and one night on our walk he hit something and bent his training wheel. When we got home Raider took it off and started the process of riding with out the training wheels. Raider thought it would be a safer landing if he tried riding to the grass. When he pedaled a little then fall we would cheer then he would jump back up and try it again. As he got better he would jump off and give someone a hug grab his back and go again. One he got the hang of it we tried the sidewalk same process he would ride so far and hope off and give someone a hug. This time he ran to hug Parker. Connor told Parker what he had just done and Parker said "HUH" so Connor told him again Parker said "Oh yeah" and smiled. My pictures got mixed up and so the one of them hugging should have been next to go along with my story. I am not sure when Connor figured out that he could scale the walls but he sure get a kick out of it. I guess watching all of the Spider Man cartoons have finally paid off.



Connor is now a Kindergartner. He doesn't say much about school just that they do lots of things. He told me one day that I have little wiggle arms like Mrs. Moon. He doesn't like walking to school he said it's do hard. So I either push him in the stroller or he rides in the bike trailer.

We went to a splash pad with the cousins. Livia and Owen had a great time being the photographers for us.




A big moment for me. We were invited to up to the trailer, but Raider had to work. I was going back and forth of what to do. I am a chicken when it come to driving new places. I said what the heck the boys like it up there I'll just follow someone. I was good till it came time to turn off asphalt and on dirt roads. I knew the car could do it,but Raider has been the one driving avoiding the ruts. I always remember them being bigger and the trees overgrown. I made it and the boys got to ride 4 wheelers and throw rocks get dirty.
