Slumber Party

This last weekend Richards sister Denise brought Kayla and Tommy over so her and Thomas could celebrate their anniversary. Despite all the craziness of 4 kids under the age of 3 against me, we all had a little bit of fun.

This playroom saved me this weekend. Kayla kept sneeking off to play all night long after bedtime:)
Quiet time. It looks so peaceful, but it really only lasted about two and a half minutes before they started jumping on the couch:)

What a tub full!

Preschool

Landon started his first year of preschool last month.
First day of school picture
The first few times he tried to play sick and always told me he would be mean to all of the kids. I would pick him up from class and he would break down in tears. I felt so bad and didn't know what to do to help him enjoy school. But one day I went and sat with him through all of show and tell before I handed him off to one the teachers, Mrs. Megan. I don't know what happened, and why he didn't throw a fit, but he stayed.
When I went to pick him up he was all smiles. They gave him the treat bucket to fill for the next class, and he couldn't wait to go back with treats for all his friends. When I dropped him off he went in there, he sat for circle time, looked at me and said, "You can go mom":) I am so proud of my big boy. since this day Landon has been so sweet. He feels more like a big boy and helps Carson out so much. I love the new version of my Landon:)

Hee Haws Farm

Back Tracking

It's almost embarrassing to post about Halloween in December, but here it goes:
For a day activity in our ward we went to Hee Haws Farm and we had so much fun.
Landon as a cow and Carson as a puppy
Well, most of us got our heads poked through Landon and Ryan are the ones on the left who's hair you can see. Then it's Ethan, Carson and Mindy.
The slide was by far the best part of Hee Haws! I felt like a little kid again climbing up those huge hay bails all the way to the top of the slide. It was huge!
Here's Ethan on the left coming down and then me holding Landon and Carson on my lap. Carson hated it the whole time, but it grew on Landon.
Carson just wouldn't stay in his costume for long, it was really warm that day.
