carving pumpkins



Carving pumpkins the night before Halloween.


This is the first year anybody would put their hands into the gooey pumpkins.


It still isn't Trey's favorite thing to do.

Trex's Halloween program




Trex had his Halloween program at Kid's Village. Aaron will get the video up shortly. They sang four songs.

Here are the pictures I promised from the last blog. We moved Trey and Trex upstairs to Tyge and Tade's old room.















Trex wanted his picture taken. We were a little worried about him staying in bed, as he was sleeping in the top bunk in his old room...We w0uld take the ladder away when he tried to get out :) Can't do that now.










And Trey not to be left out. He is just fakin it. He really isn't going to sleep quite yet...give us a half hour. :)










We moved Tyge and Tade into the playroom..notice the small flat screen they inherited when dad bought his new 47' for his walking office downstairs. They really enjoy playing the nintendo now. :)

Time Flies!

Aaron was in D.C. last week for three days. His work is really starting to take off, I think their biggest problem is hiring programmers. They finally hired a recruiter to help out. They are very expensive, but Aaron doesn't have the time to weed out applicants.

We found out this week that Aaron probably won't be graduating in December. He gave his professor his proposal to review about six weeks ago...no word back. He needs to apply before next Friday for graduation and they won't accept his application until his proposal is approved and his professor is out of town til next Friday. He is very, very, very frustrated.

I applied to teach yoga at the Pleasant Grove Rec Center. They would love to add classes but the High School gets the Center from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Which puts a wrinkle in offering classes during the preschool times and play times that are scheduled. It looks like I will be a subsitute and/or maybe get a couple of really early morning classes.

Aaron had a nice 34 year birthday. I bought him a really nice office chair and found a new vegetarian recipe and he fixed a dinner for two...him and me. :)

The boys are.....boys. We moved rooms this week and they pledged to keep their 'new rooms' soooooo clean. I guess miracles do happen :)

It's been a few since I actually blabbed. We have had a bit crazy last part of summer. Between Tade's fabulous, multiple doctor appointments, school getting started, and Aaron and I going on vacation for a few days, I am tired.
As you well know from a previous post Tade is doing really well. We are happy and a bit relieved. He is taking full advantage of the new found freedom. I think we will sign him up with his two karate brothers for a tumbling class.
Everyone is adapting fairly well to school full-time. Trex loved preschool so much on Tues and Thurs that he was mad about not having it the other days of the week, so I decided to allow him to attend another preschool on Mon and Wed mornings. He really likes it all. In fact this morning (friday) we got into a heated discussion about wether he had school or not.
Aaron and I went to Glenwood Springs, CO for a few days. It was really fun. It is nice not to be scheduled to the hilt. We went on a 16 mile bike ride with a mile long hike thrown in (up 1200 ft) the first day and it wiped us out for the next day and half. I didn't get to go river rafting because we were just too tired. Sad. We also stopped at Arches National Park on our way home for a few hours. Beautiful! We want to take the boys and spend some real time there. The trip was worth it just for that visit.
I also made a quick trip to AZ. My Uncle Don passed away. Travis and I left on Sunday night, made it to the funeral Monday early evening, and headed back shortly after and got hom late Tuesday morning. TIRED. But definitely worth the trip. It was nice to see Aunt Irl, Heather, and Kevin after so many years. I will miss Uncle Don.
Now we are just trying to get our schedule for the school year hashed out.
Keep in touch.
