cake mania

I got in a real cake making mood the last couple of weeks, and being completely insane, decided to make 5 new dummy cakes. well, got that out of my system for a while.

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween this year. These boys got to spend a lot of time in their costumes. The week before Halloween we had a ward trunk or treat thing. Steve was working, so that was kind of a bummer, but the little monsters and I still had fun, and they got a lot of candy.

 Jake had fun while we were there, but the ride home sitting on that tail was a little trying. Totally didn't think that one through when I made the costume.

 Isn't there some story where the monsters eat cats?

 The day before Halloween we went over to Malad to do some canning with Steve's mom and the boys got to let out their inner monster again.

Steve had to work Halloween and wasn't supposed to get home until 8, so I was planning on taking the boys trick or treating by myself, but he surprised us and came home early enough to come. We had a lot of fun. Every house Jacob would pound on the door and yell "open da door please." Then of course he tries to go in once they open the door. One house he actually got in and sat on the couch waiting for his candy.

 

5

Oh, my goodness my baby is 5. We had the family over, and he got spoiled rotten.

 

 

 

 

He has been really into dinosaurs lately. He is always asking me to google pictures of all of these strange dinosaurs, and I can't pronounce them let alone spell them. He loves to draw, and is pretty good at it. He goes through tons of paper. Grandma donated all of her lined paper to the cause, and he is blowing through it. He likes to draw fish, cut them out and then turn the living room into an ocean.

My boys went fishing a lot this summer and had a blast.

Jeremiah and Jacob are best friends, and always being silly together. I'm kind of amazed at how well they play together most of the time.

They were playing with the ball and somehow managed to pop it, but had just as much fun with their new hats.
