Halloween is over!!

Halloween was fun with everything that we did, but I'm glad that it is over. It was alot of work. I dressed up as a witch (which didn't take much) Rockwell was Rocky, Grace was Snow White again, and Alice was Princess Belle again. It was the first time the girls got to wear make-up so they really liked that, but then the mascara really started to bother them. They were begging me to wash it off. We got pumpkins and carved them. We made sugar cookies and took them to our neighbors, and to the girls I visit teach . Then, we went to trunk-or-treat at the church on Thursday and went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood on Halloween. My kids have been high on sugar all week and I think I've about had it with sugar. I'm thinking I might try the no sugar diet for a week because I know I might be able to reach that goal. I just want to throw all of the candy away. Looking at it makes me sick. I've had my share this week which I think will last me until Christmas. We have one more can of juice in the fridge and after that I'm not going to buy any more for a while. This is big for me to do because I live on juice. I have a hard time drinking plain old water. The water here tastes like dirt. I'm going to have a really hard time getting rid of the chocolate milk in my life too. I'm willing to do it now so I better do it while I am motivated. It will save us money on groceries too, so that is a good thing.

Gracie is Crazy!

Grace just told me, "Mom, your hair is soooo shiny, but I guess you can't help that." I don't know where she got that but she is the cookiest girl I know. I love her.

I'm tagged

Melanie tagged me. I went to the fourth file and got the fourth picture. This is of my little beautiful boy Rockwell. He is my pride and joy. We went camping with our ward. Ryan and I are on the activities comittee so we had to go. I was nervous of all the North Carolina bugs, but it ended up being really fun. I forgot to post about it. I'll have to put up more pictures. By the way, this was Rocky's first time camping. He kept us up all night making us laugh. He loved that we were all sleeping in the same little place. He kept putting his finger up to his face and pointing at us, and saying , "No, no, no," in a really cute way. Alice was giggling histerically and I think it woke up somebody's baby in the next tent. Oops. I tag anyone who wants to be tagged.

Grace's Birthday

Well , we had Grace's birthday party. She turned 3 years old. She is quite the cute little princess . This has been a long awaited day for her. She's been waiting for it to be her birthday ever since Alice had her birthday. I think it was everything she wanted it to be. I was a little bit sad that I was not able to watch her open her presents though. The kids sneaked them upstairs while the parents were busy conversing. They had their own little party in their bedroom. They played "The Screaming Game," as they called it. They demonstrated how it works to Amelia's dad. "You just jump up and down on the bed and scream like this, AHHHHHHH!" They had alot of fun. Rock was the monster because he kept trying to get on the bed and could not, so they thought that he was trying to get them but they were safe on the bed. Nicole 's dad got home from Iraq recently so that was nice to meet him finally. He was a really nice guy and we'll probably get to see them again soon for Nicole's birthday party. Anyway, I don't know why this is underlined but oh well. I don't know what I'm doing still.We

Here's some good flashbacks

I stole this picture from my cousin's blog. I love it. When we were little we would put on a dancin show for the Goodwin Christmas party every year. So we thought we would do it again for old time sake in this picture. This picture is about 8-9 years old now so we might have to pull another "bring on the dancin girls" show for my Grandpa. He loves it.

The next picture is of cute little Ryan and his family. I love all the hairdos . Weren't the 80's wonderful?

I'm missing gargious St Gearge lately. Don't worry I do know that it's really spelled gorgeous St George but I'm just trying to throw in the accent. I miss my temple too. It's mine because it's always been my favorite. It's just so happily situated. Ryan and I were sealed there and Alice was sealed to us there and so we just love it. I thought you would like it too.

A Buncha Fun Pictures

Dude, are these kids not like the cutest kids you've ever seen! OK I'm biased. I caught them on camera this month doing their usual tearing my house apart. They're wild animals. I love the one where Rock has a little table that he's knocked over and he's standing on it and bouncing back and forth going ahhhhhhh! He 's like a little ape. Then Grace was knocking over the lamp next to that. Oh I'm a good mom. That is how they get my attention when I'm trying to pay my bills. Oh they are fun though aren't they? They're quite the little posers too.
