Awesome Pumpkins

Here are the pictures of our awesome pumpkins - Layne did the Grim Reaper and I did the bat in the moon - I know we're weird but they turned out really good!

Ok mine isn't as cool as Layne's but oh well :)

Halloween!

We had a great weekend - it was the deer hunt (pictures to come soon) and then we went to Layne's grandparents Halloween party - the kids were so cute. Then his grandma Jeri let the boys make sugar cookies...she has a lot more patience than I do.
Cael had a blast though - then we went to the other side of the family to carve pumpkins...Layne loves this - he always has to find a "cool one" and Cael thought it was pretty cool to play with the 'sharps' which translates to 'knives'.

Hunter, Cael, Caleb, Brylee



Hunter just wanted to play in the flour

Duck Hunting

Layne took Cael duck hunting Saturday night - which was so great because I had a root canal and was throwing up :) They went with Travis and his little girls, Taryn, Jada & Taya and then Josh took his little girl Macee. Cael had a blast in the boat - all he told me was, "me dad went duck hunting in the boat and his gun broke." Ya and Layne's gun did break - when he went to shoot the first duck - this is what happened to the barrel. It's so dang funny...so Layne is taking donations for a new shotgun...if anyone wants to help!!

Layne's Wyoming Buck

So Layne went on a Wyoming Deer Hunt - and he'll act tuff about it and say he wasn't excited but he was and he had a blast with all of the boys. Here is the awesome deer that he got!



Cael & Hunter on the 4 Wheeler when the boys got home...Cael missed his dad so much!

Canning Salsa...

I have never "canned" anything in my entire life - but I've been trying to be a better mother & wife - and I guess that helps my qualifications! Layne's Sister Shelly & mom were going to can salsa so we joined in last night. This is how domestic I'm becoming - I even had half a bucket of tomatoes from my garden to donate :) Anyways, I have to admit it wasn't that bad - but we all just pitched in and got it done! Even Layne helped - for a minute. Thanks Jeri!


Cael & Brylee had a blast playing together!

Go CouGarS!

Ok not really Go Cougars...but we bought Cael a BYU uniform so he could play with his cousins Will & Owen - the uniforms are so cute - we gave it to him yesterday and I had a hard time getting it off of him for bed. Here are some pics of it...
Layne is so proud!!

Dove Hunt

Cael got to go on his first dove hunt yesterday! Layne worked all night and then got up and took Cael Dove hunting. If you know Layne he doesn't care if he loses sleep when it comes to hunting. Cael had a blast - they only got 2 but Cael would take his bb gun and go shoot them on the ground(he thinks his gun is loaded)
This is Cael being Cael...

How cute are my boys!?
