Well I am finally taking the time to update our blog. Once school started we just got busy doing the school thing. Anyway it is Laney's second year of Pre-school at Mrs. Longs Little Chicks pre-school and of course Laney is loving it and doing a great job. The boys well they are boys what can I say they keep me on my toes. We are trying a new discipline technique with them and I think it is working. They are doing alot better then they were doing. I think twins feed off of each other and try to test me as much as they can. Maya is now 18 months old and will be going in to nursery Brant and I can't wait. We teach Laney's primary class so we have had to bring her with us and the class tends to watch and listen to her instead of us. I think she will have a hard time but her brothers will be in there with her so she should do okay I hope. Well Halloween is coming fast. Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch where the kids could ride a train and pick out a pumpkin and go through a straw maze they had a great time. We went to my mom and dad's after and carved them. It our little tradition that we do is carve them all at my mom and dad's house. We are loving the fall weather at our house we have been still doing yard work. I think we will do hard work until we are shoveling snow. Anyway we can't wait for the holidays I love this time of year is just reminds me of all the things I am thankful for. My sweet hard working husband and my four healthy beautiful children. I am also thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.

Well we have had a couple crazy two weeks. After we got home from Bear Lake the boys birthday was two days later. So trying to get two cakes made and get the house ready for everyone to come over was pretty crazy. Then we decided to go to Boise the morning after the boys birthday and visit Jake and Kayleen and the kids. We also thought it would be a good time to get our teeth cleaned. Brant only had one cavity this time which is really good for him. But Jake didn't fill it until Saturday and he asked me if I wanted to go help him and work the suction for him. It was so cool to see my brother do stuff like that and to see dental work done from that side of the chair. Thanks Jake for letting me help. We also took the kids to a little splash park that is right by Jake and Kayleens house so we went there for a little bit and then came home. They also had there pool set up at their house so we let the kids play in that. Maya decided that climbing up the slide was much more fun then going down on her bum so she would climb up and then slide down on her tummy. She wasn't too into the water so the swingset was good for her. We had a great weekend with Jake and Kayleen. Thanks guys for everything we always have a great time.
