Halloween Cookies

Brad and Claire have been doing amazing at school so they wanted to make cookies for their reward. I have had a cookie mix in the pantry forever so I thought I would put it to good use. Plus it was something the kids could make by themselves. 

Wyatt came over to help. 

Claire has been able to crack eggs since she was 3. I remember when she did it the first time I was floored. She rarely gets shells in the bowl. Brad still struggles with cracking eggs. He still crunches the heck out of them. 

This was Brad's favorite cookie. It looks possessed. 

Harriosn was napping during the cooking. Luckily he woke up in time for the eating. 

After they all ate a cookie they got to pick one friend to pass them out to. It has been such a nice Autumn. The weather was beautiful. Perfect for a nice walk around the block. 

Donuts and Cider at the Farm

Tim and Kam invited us all over for a Fall Family Home Evening. I just love their house. It just makes me feel warm an cozy. It is the perfect farm house. 

They just got new baby kittens so the kids were more than happy to hang out on the patio playing with the kittens. They don't have names yet so it was funny to listen to them come up with silly names for the cats. 

Wyatt didn't like holding them but he loved petting them. 

Harrison has been rather attached to Melissa lately. He begs for her every morning. When she is around he wants to be with her. Monday night was no exception. 

Yummy Halloween donuts. 

After we ate the kids played with Reagan's birthday toys and the adults chatted. 

Wyatt did some WWF moves on Bradley on the way our the door. 

Thanks Tim and Kamie for hosting a fun FHE night. Hopefully there will be many more. 

Duck Hunting

Randy went duck hunting over the weekend by Corrine, UT. 

Randy had some serious duck fever. Thanks Nate for making my husband so happy. 

Cute Lyndsee went along with all those boys. 

I can't believe how beautiful these pictures are. I think I have duck fever too. I could go sit in that grass and enjoy that scenery too. 

Brad had such a great time. He didn't stop talking about it all weekend. 

They went Friday and Saturday. On Saturday's hunt Nate somehow forgot his wadders. LOL! Randy had to do all the work setting the decoys and pushing the boat around. I think Nate forgot on purpose so that Randy could earn his keep on the boat. 

Best Buddies

Melissa watches Harrison for me a lot... it is no wonder these two boys are best buds. She kept him for us during one of Brad's basketball games. She sent me this picture of them watching a movie together. I am so glad they have each other. Every morning Harrison needs to go to Melissa's back door to see his 2nd family.

Grandma and Grandpa Great

Grandma and Grandpa Great Fischer stopped by from Midway to pay Harrison a visit for his birthday. Harrison loved to make Hans play his golf game. Hans was on the floor on his knees for a long time. He is such a good grandpa and always has such nice things to say about our little family. We loved having them stop by.

Fall Basketball

We finished up our last basketball game last week. Randy and Matt volunteered to coach again. It has consumed 3 nights a week for the last 2 months. 

The boys did awesome this year. It is fun to see the kids actually understand offence and defence. I can't believe how much they learned in just a few short weeks. 

Randy takes coaching very seriously and spends a lot of time and effort on the boys. The boys just love Randy and Matt. 

Matt was out of town for pictures. Too bad, he was a huge part of the team. 

They only lost the very first game. After that they pulled out the rest of the season with wins. They worked really hard at practices and earned every single win. 

The Babies are 2!!!

I think we will forever refer to these kiddos as "the babies"!!!

We celebrated their 2nd birthday on Sunday. 

 Cute birthday girl!

 Pretty soon we will be celebrating this little one's birthday. Time is going too fast. 

After dinner we did presents. It was funny to watch Harrison rip the wrapping apart while Reagan politely watched. When she was ready for her gift to be opened she would hand it to Harrison. It was pretty entertaining. 

Once all the gifts were opened it was mass chaos toy time. 

Harrison loved his stick horse. He has been riding Claire's around so he was thrilled to have his own. 

Reagan riding the horse texting and sporting the cutest boots EVER!!

Harrison was mad when we sang Happy Birthday. He didn't like the attention. 

Then he wanted nothing to do with the candles. He was scared and wouldn't even look at it until we blew them out. 

He loved the frosting though. 

Reagan loved the cake. she skipped over the frosting. 

Harrison licked off all the frosting then handed Reagan his cake and wanted another one. 

Happy Birthday Kiddos we love you!!!
