Blue eyed Talon
It has been fun going back through pictures tonight. I am way behind and out of order on my blog but hey, at least I am posting something : ) I came across this pic of Talon from 2010 at Lagoon. He looks a bit tired but I just love my blue eyed Talon. What a handsome boy!
Pumpkin carving 2011
Rick working quickly to get his pumpkin finished so he could help the little guys. 
Keaton is obsessed with BYU so of course he crafted up a Y. We started carving pretty late so after everyone was in bed Keaton and I stayed up and finished all of the pumpkins. It is fun that he likes to get involved with all the goings on. He gets in there and finishes up the job!
Looks like I am the gut scraper for the pumpkins. We ended up with so many pumpkins this year. We had quit a few places we went for activities. It was fun to have a bunch of them all lit up though.
Carter was creep-ed out by the guts. I did have him try to do it, but it ended up being my job. He thought it was pretty cool to come up with something for me to cut out.
Talon had lots of fun ideas for his pumpkin. He did a great job getting the guts out of his. I think the boys enjoy all the fun traditions we have for the holidays.

Talon turned 7 in July
Holy cow.....clear back in July Talon turned 7. Normally I make pancakes in the shape of # of their birthday, but an Eggo's had to do that morning. I redeemed myself and made them another morning. He still had fun being the center of attention for his birthday song and candle blowing : ) 
Awe, I wonder what he wished for? Wowzers.....I still can't believe he is 7 already.

Going on an adventure
This was so cute.....Carter filled his backpack up with all kinds of trinkets and treasures. He had his hat on that I brought back from England and was sporting a fully coordinated outfit. He looked so stinkin cute.
He would wander around a bit and then unzip his backpack, chose something to play with for a bit then load it all back up again.
I have had such a great time being able to spend so much one on one time with him. He brings me so much joy. Love ya buddy!

Carter having fun on Western day
Here is Carter singing a cute song about cowboys. He has so much fun in his class. It is cute to see him interacting and making friends. He is a social butterfly. 
I like this back view. He was so into the assembly.
Not looking so happy here. I think he was waiting patiently for me to get the camera ready.
Here's the cute boy I love to bits. He was thrilled to be a cowboy for a day!!!

Halloween 2011
We had such a fun Halloween this year. My sister Melissa had a great party at her house a week before the big day. I helped her a couple days beforehand to set up an awesome haunted house in her backyard. It turned out super cool and extra creepy. We did trunk or treat this year for the first time and it was so fun to see all the costumes. The weather was so perfect for trick or treating. I don't know why I like Halloween so much but I am glad that the boys love it like I do and have a great time. 
Here they are out trick or treating. Carter would have gone out all night long if we would have let him. He had a blast.
Ok, my costume was put together super quick. I saw it on a blog and decided to go for it. I was "struck by lighting". I let Keaton help me with the burning of the shirt and umbrella. He thought that was super cool!
Talon was a werewolf. He was so stinkin cute. He got a lot of complements on his costume. He was the only one of the boys that had school on Halloween so it was a long day for him. He was so tired once the night was over. He had lots of fun with his brothers though.
Keaton was a nerd. He was cracking me up. We let him venture out with a few friends for trick or treating. This was new to all of them. They had so much fun together. He is growing up to fast!
Carter was Flash. He wanted to be flash forever! I found his red little suit at Savers and used felt to make everything else. Oh, his hat was also from the thrift store and I used cardboard in between the lightning bolts to help them keep the shape. Carter also wore his flash undies so he could run extra fast : ) He has been wearing his costume a ton since Halloween.

First Day Of School Photo's
Wow, Keaton started 5th grade this year! I can't believe how fast time goes by. He is such a fun, kind, good student and friend. I am now just posting for the first day of school but he just had parent teacher conference yesterday. His teacher loves him in her class because he is such a good boy/student. Way to go Keaton, love you buddy!
Look how much these boys have grown. No wonder I have to run my dishwasher twice a day....boys = lots and lots of food.
Talon is Mr. jabber box. He is such a smart guy also. Everyday he comes home with pictures that he has drawn because he finishes his work so quickly....his teacher lets him draw once he completes his work to keep him from talking to his classmates. He is doing so well in school. We are very proud of him. Oh, he also looooves his uniform. On dress down days he often ops to wear his full uniform. This is his last year in private school. It is going to be a shocker once he begins public school. Talon is awesome at reading. He reads nonstop. He is also a great mathematician. I don't like correcting his homework because most of it he does in head but I have to do it long form to figure it out! Ugh! If anyone needs spelling help Mr. Talon usually knows the answer. I swear he is like a walking computer.
I am happy but sad that Carter started school this year. He is in preschool 2 mornings a week. He was thrilled to start school! He couldn't wait to be just like his big brothers.
One day a week he gets to bring in show and tell, or if you ask him it is showingtell. He is learning so quickly. I am so amazed what he tells me each time I pick him up.
Oooo this is an action shot : )
