Hair cut

So, there are lots of hair styles made popular by celebrities; Princess Diana, Mary Lou Retton, Jennifer Aniston to name a few.

I however did not expect my daughter to emulate Terry Bradshaw.

Homework can be fun!

Ok, so if you haven't heard me whine about homework, you probably haven't known me for very long. Today I helped my 6 year old do his home work. He was on a roll, so we tried to get ahead. We did rhombus second. That is a darn hard shape to draw. It kept coming out as a severly acute triangle. Parker insisted that it was a rhombus. Next we did square and worked counter clockwise. I tried to get him to stop drawing faces when we got to triangle. When he did oval, it looked so much like a "minion" that I was laughing so hard, I cried when he did the angry hammer head rectangle. :) I love that kid!

Parker's awesome 6th birthday. :)

Cutie Pie

One of my Girl Scout Sisters brought over some clothes and my girls found this wig. Zoey had a blast with it!

Alicia's first basketball game

The girls did a great job on their first game. They held the lead for most of the game there was a lot of action. Though the lost it in the end, we all enjoyed it! Yay, Alicia!

Some fun pics

This is a fun picture of my little man dressing up for 50's day at school. I think he was a little mad/embarrassed about me taking his picture. It's almost as if he isn't sure whether or not to trust that I said he looks good!


This is Miss Zoey trying on mom's boots. They look like gogo boots on her. :D She had a hard time standing up in them!


Pine Wood Derby! This is Eli with his awesome car he made with Papa and Daddy. He got the "Green Machine" award. He was very pleased with his award!

What's up with the Turkey Farm...

News.... well. We are finally all moved out of the old place as of Sat. We have been in the new place since August. :) The kids are doing well in school.

Alicia is fitting right in at her new middle school and loving the fact that there are several member kids in her school, and even a couple in her classes. :D

Mahala is missing her old friends and school, but is doing great at her new school. She has joined the Honor Choir, and any one who would like to see her perform should come to the Northwest Branch Library Sat. morning. I hear they put on a GREAT show! We're expecting it to be televised also. :D

Eli is doing great and seems to be enjoying his class. We have already begun finding ways to help him be even more successful! I'm very happy about that. We are blessed that he has another teacher that cares about him and is willing to go the extra mile.

Parker is having a great time being in school all day. His greatest disappointment is that he doesn't get to take his lunch every day. He loves riding the bus to school and has a classmate that lives next door/across the street from us.

And both boys are finally growing like weeds!

Lily loves, loves, loves school. She knows most of her letters already, and tells me when she sees letters that are in her school friends names. When we drive around town, she sometimes says that she thinks we are passing homes where her busmates live. :) She's so smart and observent.

Zoey is talking more and more and using more advanced sentences. It's so fun to listen to her. Hopefully someday she'll overcome her public speaking problem so everyone else can enjoy hearing her talk as well. :)

The 4 middle kids were in the Primary Presentation this past Sunday. They all did a great job. Parker made the cutest face at everyone when he got up. I think he was a little irritated that everyone was looking at him. :D

Paul is still enjoying teaching Art. He is especially fond of supporting Pioneer Football. :) I'm still a bit torn over that, being a Lions fan, but I am actually enjoying it too.

I am having fun in the new house. It is quite a challenge to keep up with double the square feet, but loving it nonetheless. I'm also doing a re-read of one of my favorite books to get ready for the movie. I'm so excited!

We're all looking forward to dressing up for Halloween this weekend. I hope to have some great pictures to post for next week. :D

Catchup: Zoey had a birthday

Zoey turned 2 last month. She was so cute. This was her favorite present. She's very possesive of it, and watch out when she throws!
Here's the darling dress her Grandma Nancy made for her.























This last one is Parker showing off his new slippers from a lady in our old ward. :)
