Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday, we went to a Pumpkin Patch that some girls in our ward put togather at their home. They grow pumpkins in their garden and invite the kids and their families to come pick out a pumpkin. It was fun to take the kids.Kaedance picked out a baby pumpkin for her baby brother. So cute! Kaedance also decorated a cookie which she thought was so cool. It was fun!

It helped to get us into the Halloween spirit and I hope to continue to do this each year. Thanks again Carlson Family!

P.S. My kids make some silly faces in some of these pictures. They also had some rabbits that Kaedance wanted to take a picture of.

Kaedance loves PreSchool

Kaedance is still loving PreK and looks forward to going. She loves to come home and show me and Daddy her worksheets and projects. Here is a pic from Tuesday showing off her spider with 8 legs they made.

I'm so thankful to her teacher and I know that I need to be better with practicing her writing and scissors skills so that she can be fully prepared for Kindergarten.

Anyone have suggestions on how to make if fun and keep her interest?

Goodbye Old Friend...Hello Gorgeous

Yesterday, I went to turn on my computer. All was well at first, but it started to freeze on me, so I shut it down. A little while later, I went to turn it back on and all it would do is reboot its self over and over. I was lost. I have not computer technical knowledge and I was freaking out not to log into my emails, bank accounts, and blogs. I called a tech to come look at it. He thought it was the hard drive but once he opened the tower, he noticed right away that the mother board was fried! Bummer! It was going to cost almost the amount of a new one then to fix the old one. So off we went to drop more money that I was not expecting, but I can't live without a computer!



For the price of a new tower plus a little more, we got a new laptop with so much more features, memory, and power, plus, it's mobile! It's awesome and I think worth the money. The biggest down part is that many of my pics are on the hard drive of the old PC and it cost another $65 to get them off. Thank goodness for my blog because many of the pics are on here, so I will just save them to this computer. Gotta love blogs! So kinda a bad way to start the weekend, but according to the tech, we got a lot of years out of the old one. So goodbye old friend. Thanks for all your hard work...you'll be missed!

Interview done!

I had my interview yesterday! It went really well (I think). This would be an awesome place to work at and they seemed to be ok with my hours that I would be able to work. The lady who did the interview said she would call me in the next couple of weeks to set up a "hands on" interview. So wish me luck for round 2!

Thanks to all of you who sent me best luck wishes and advice! It really helped! I will keep you all posted on the next step. :)

Camping at Valley of Fire

A couple of weeks ago, Kaedance and I were watching 'John and Kate Plus 8', when they went camping in their backyard. Kaedance asked if we could go camping mostly to make S'mores and see the stars. So this past weekend we decided to go with our BFF's and their girls, out to the Valley of Fire. I've never been there and it was such a gorgeous place.

It was really hot! We picked a campground spot with a lot of shade, but it was still so hot even through the night. We made the best of it! The girls had so much fun climbing the red rocks and playing in the tents. We had roasted hot dogs and Smores for dinner and enjoyed seeing the stars in the sky since you don't see them much living in Vegas.

Camping is not my most fav activity, but it was fun to give the kids an adventure and memories that I hope they will remember. It's always fun to spend time away with your friends and enjoy the true beauty of nature. Even our dog, Flash, had a blast climbing and playing in the dirt. It was a good time!

(Here are some pics of the trip, but my camera died when I really wanted to get more shots. I hate when that happens!)
