Carnivals, Corn Mazes, and Field Trips!!!

The kids had their school Carnival and it was actually pretty good.  It was crowded but I must say I was impressed by how organized and well done it was.  It reminded me of going to the school Carnivals when I was a kid in elementary school




Tate's class sang Hush Little Baby, we didn't get there in time for a picture.  Sadie's class danced to Dem Bones and Kennedy's class danced to the YMCA (Kennedy is dressed like a construction worker from the Village People).  There obviously was face painting and a cake walk and lots of other games.  Our Frankenstein cake went fast at the cake walk :)

On Saturday we went to the Stahlei Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch with Sadie and Tate.  Kennedy and Taylor were at a PJ party so they missed out on going with us but they had just gone on a field trip there the other day with their 5th grade class.  They got to ride their bikes to it and thought that was pretty cool.  Definitely not something that would have happened for a field trip in Vegas.






It was really fun, they had wagons pulled by the tractors and all sorts of activities for the kids and fun things to do.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of the 'Redneck Trampoline' it was a bunch of mattresses covered by a tarp surrounded by hay.  It had been raining lots the day before so everything was wet and muddy but that didn't stop Tate from slipping and getting covered in mud. :)

Tate's class went on a field trip to the Fire Station on Monday, we walked from the school there.  It was really fun to see all the kids and their faces light up seeing the fire trucks and listening to the sirens.  In one of the pictures if you look really close you can see that all the boys are in front and the girls are standing behind as the Firemen are showing all the cool things in the truck!










Sadie's class went on a field trip to the Orchestra at Dixie State and all the kids were really good and seem to enjoy listening to all the instruments.  The Orchestra did a really good presentation for all the 3rd graders.




This last picture is a picture of Sadie's teacher as she almost fell off her seat on the bus, it would have been such a good blackmail picture except there was a big light behind her.  Maybe next time!!!!!!! ;)

Whats been going on so far in October!

We have had a fun month so far, we had Grandpa's birthday, Sadie's Thriller performance and we went to Jumping Jacks on the kids fall break.  These kids make me happy and keep me smiling!!!!!





Sadie did a really good job performing her Thriller dance at a High School halftime!!!!!!  She is such a fun dancer to watch :)  And she does love to pose!







Tate has been a big helper with Grandpa.  It was so cute watching him help Grandpa pull the nasty tumbleweeds from the lot next door that keep blowing into our yard.  Grandpa even let Tate drive the truck!!!!




So here are the pictures you get when you let the kids take the camera and get fun pictures at Jumping Jacks!








The kids have a school carnival tonight and here are the cakes my mom and I made for the cake walk!  It was fun making them, mine is the Frankenstein and my mom did The Bone Yard.


We are excited for Halloween and I will try my best to get lots of pictures of my cute little monsters!!!!!!!!
