Halloween 2009

Kaleb came home one day from school and said, Mom I want to be a grandma for Halloween. It surprised me a little, but I thought it would be a great idea. We went to the DI to shop for his dress. I picked up several dresses for him to look at, but when I finally picked up the one in the picture, he said yep that's the one. I thought it turned out pretty cool. He is the cutest grandma I have ever seen.
Carson was set on being a BYU fan this year. He was BYU from his head down to his toes. He wore the blue wig, the painted face, a BYU shirt, BYU pajama bottoms, and to top it all off he wore our Y flag as a cape. They had a Halloween parade for school and he actually got booed by some Utah fans. That just goes to show how much class Utah fans have. NONE! GO BYU!!!!!!

Corbin made it easy on me this year. I asked him what he wanted to be and he said a football player. We already had everything for that. He saved me some money. Thanks Corb!

Kylie was set on being a care bear this year(that's what she was last year)so we pulled out the costume box and tried it on. It was way too small, so we pulled out the Cat in the Hat costume and it fit her perfectly. She is the cutest Cat in the Hat that I have ever seen. She was so excited when she saw herself in it. All of them turned out great this year. The only thing that sucked this Halloween , is that I came down with the flu and am stuck at home. I HATE missing out on Halloween.

Pack Meeting

Corbin earned his wolf a couple of months ago, but we have missed the last couple of pack meetings. He recieved it at our last pack meeting.
Here is Corbin pinning on the mothers pin.

All the kids participated in the donut eating contest.

3rd Grade Field Trip

I don't normally love to go on field trips, but Corbin pulled his big brown puppy dog sad eyes on me and said Please, please, please. How can you say no to a face like that. I should be glad that they still want me around. So off we went to "This is the Place State Park".
I guess that they have been learning about Indians in school so we learned more about the Native Americans while we were up at the park. Here is Corbin sitting in one of the dwellings that a Native American from Utah would have built. It is a big round stucture, made of wood and mud. It has a big hole in the top of it, so that when they would make a fire inside, the smoke could escape.

Corbin learned how to grind corn with a stone to make cornmeal. He enjoyed doing this, but I can't imagine having to do this all day long, like the Indians did.

We learned about the animals native to Utah and how the Indians skinned them. The men were responsible for hunting, but then the women had to haul the animal back to home and then skin it. The women were responsible for everything else except the hunting(the easy part).

An Indian dwelling.

We had a great time, and learned quite a bit while we were there. I also learned that field trips are not that bad. I had fun spending time with my son.

Principal's PRIDE

Corbin recieved his Principal's Pride award this month. He was awarded this because of his the work he is doing in his class. He is learning cursive this year and is doing very well with that. He also has strong math skills. We are proud of him and the efforts he makes at school. Keep up the good work Corbin!

Corbin's Birthday- 9 YEARS OLD

Ok so it has been a while since Corbin's birthday, but I don't get many chances to blog anymore. I have to start out by saying how much I love these kids. They are such good friends and they have been awesome for Corbin. We started our party off by going swimming, but I had to leave the camera at home like a tard, so there are no pictures of that. Then we came back to our house and had a fire in the backyard fire pit. We roasted Hot dogs and Smores.
David and I got him a Fuzion Scooter that he had been asking for and Mario Kart for the Wii. I think he uses both of them on a daily basis.

Kylie, was so sweet. She went and got one of her brand new stuffed animals and wrapped it up in her coat and gave it to Corbin for his birthday present. She really wanted him to have something from her.

I have been so lame this year with birthday cakes. I don't think I have made a single birthday cake for my kids this year. I need to start back up. Maybe that will be my goal for the next year.

Blowing out his 9 candles.

Happy Birthday Corbin! We all Love you.
