Training to be Spidey

 

One morning after orchestra and crossfit I got the boys squared away (or so I thought) on their math and jumped in the shower.  When I got out of the shower and came into the kitchen I found Tyler and Jesse finishing up a tape job on Tracen. Here is my disclaimer.  Tracen was still standing on a chair when I came out.  They only moved said chair after saying “mom look!” and so he hung there maybe 15-20 seconds.  He was laughing until they took the chair away and yes….I took the picture before attempting to help him out.  It was pretty funny.  I asked the boys how they’d gotten him to stand up there and let them tape him to the door….it was pretty simple….They told told him that this is how Spiderman trains…..

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at my mom’s with them and Larry and Keva.  We met Keva’s kids and got to see Connor, Brynn and Millie.  I only took one picture the entire time!  But it’s a cute one.  The kids were enjoying some pomegranates.  We sure do miss seeing Millie more often!

My mom on the other hand took lots of pictures….guess I’ll have to hit her up for some.

Halloween

This year everyone knew exactly what they wanted to be….so the hunt was on to get costumes together. Tyler wanted to be Seneca Crane from the Hunger Games, Jesse an army dude, Tracen Captain America and Lincoln insisted on being the red Angry bird.

We were able to put together Jesse’s costume no problem…thanks Jesse!  Tylers took a little bit more effort and some artistic abilities on my part for his face.  Tracen was a little more work.  I found him a blue set of leggings (I won’t say where ha ha) and a blue long sleeved shirt to which I added a white felt star.  We got a 99 cent hat and Jesse made a duck tape “A” on it.  Red gloves with red duck tape extensions and covered his irrigation boots in red duck tape too (thank heavens for duck tape!)  Jesse had a shield downstairs that he helped Tracen paint into a Captain America shield (extra points for Jesse!).  I made Link’s costume and it was a labor of love.  It looked easy enough….but it was slightly harder than that!  Not too bad though but it did take some time and some trying on….which he didn’t love.  But it turned out so cute and if I ever make one again I’ll know what to change!

Jesse had basketball practice so he stayed in Parowan and went trick-or-treating with his friend Marshall.  Kind of sad that he’s all grown up enough to hang out with friends instead of mom but he had a lot of fun.  Tyler and Tracen and Lincoln went with me to Aunt Lorie’s party, went to see dad for a few minutes (he was working) and then went back to Parowan where we trick-or-treated with Addi (Ty was nice and helped Lincoln out)  Lincoln was so cute running from house to house yelling “trick treat!” and “Tank you!” At one point he was even growling in his deep voice “turn out the lights”  He drug his plastic bag around on the ground (because he’s close to the ground) until it got a hole in it.  The kids are so dang cute at Halloween!

Trick or Treating with Addi….we’re so glad she puts up with us!

I made them take some pictures together once we all got home together.   Jesse definitely ended up with the most candy!

 

Happy Halloween!
