Halloween

Happy Halloween from our Nerdy Family!

Trunk or Treat

Total Nerds!

The visit to North Carolina

I was able to visit my fabulous sister (and husband) so I could meet my nephew Jack Henry!  He is a cute chubby boy that is just 3 months old and starting to talk.  So, of course, I had to share the video. 

I had a relaxing time -without 3 crazy boys- and was glad to be able to see my sister again.  We didn't do much because it was so hot & humid, but it was good to relax and help with the baby.  Now, back to reality!  School starts soon!!

Zion National Park

We took a short family trip to Zion this week.  It was hot, but not nearly as hot as Vegas!  The boys had a great time exploring nature.  Only a few complaints of tired legs (mostly by the one with the shortest legs).  It was great to get away from the XBox and all for a couple days. 

Climbing on all rocks is a must!

Relaxing in the hot tub

 I even got into a picture!

Beautiful moon on our last night.

Slip n Slide

Thanks to Uncle Shane (THE coolest!) we were able to have some extra fun on Memorial Day. The boys spent more than an hour on the Slip n Slide and we pretty much turned the grass into a swamp!

Preschool Graduation

Colin has now made it to the end of preschool!  He will be 5 next month, so he will start Kindergarten in the fall.  He is so ready.  Preschool has helped him be away from family and make new friends.  His teacher (Ms. Karilee) was awesome & she had a graduation party for them on Friday.  She is so creative....she even had little hats and scrolls for them (no photos with the hat because Colin wouldn't wear it).

The only other boy in Colin's class became his best buddy!

Cub Scout Day Camp

Liam & Quinn had day camp a few weeks ago on a Saturday.  It was pirate themed & they had a lot of fun.  They weren't sure what it was going to be like (their first time at it) but ended up liking it!!  Here are some photos thanks to their leader!

Family Olympics

We had a Family Olympics the other day with the Clayton Family.  Our kids love playing together, so we decided to do a combined Olympics (I must admit it was not my idea....I'm not that clever, Jennifer is).  We made goals at the beginning of the year, and our "events" were to help remind us of the goals.  The kids had a lot of fun.  They each made their own little flags, and the families made large flags.

Just before starting everyone is calm.....

Then the chaos begins.......

Sorry there are no pictures of the actual events.  We had a few relay races, manners quiz, and spiritual aspect also.  I think the kids enjoyed it and want to do it again.  It was great that it coincided with the actual Olympics (although we have no snow!).
