My days lately have been spent making a house out of popsicle sticks. It has been a lot of fun. It is very addictive . I was just doing it for fun, but after having Rileigh tell me for the umpteenth time "It's amazing Mom" I decided it will be a Christmas present for her. I'll get pics of it up later

We went to Walmart for our trick-or-treating. the girls had fun and were warm. The day before we had trunk pr treating as a stake thing so They got more than enough candy. We discovered chocolate makes Jaci crazy, do NOT come inbetween that girl and her chocolate

Jacilynn's b-day was fun. She is in to Win

nie The Pooh right now so I made her a special cake. We lit her candle and then all of us helped her blow it out. She started bawling like crazy so Jake rte-lit it and she was instantly happy again. It was hilarious. Of course we had to blow it out again after she tried to grab the flame, but a slice of cake made it all better.

Look at all of Jaci's TEETH. She has

6. Jake and I think it is pretty funny cause Rileigh didn't even get one until she was 10 1/2 months old. Jaci is about 9 1/2 months right now.

We don't have a pool right now, but the girls were soo hot one day. These our my improvised pools. They worked out very nicely. The girls had a lot of fun splashing each other and getting cooled off.

Hey everybody. Jake passed his first phase, Yeah!!!. He started his next one this last Monday.
The class has grown considerably smaller since he started. The class started with 80 some odd and is now down to 60 something. People flunked out or decided it was too hard. So I am very glad Jake is still hangin in there.

Our ward had a breakfast onthe 4th at 7:30 in the morning so we got an early start that day. There was no parade that day, but they had a lot of fun booths and free blow up toys for the kids at the park. So Me and the girls went to the park and Jake went to fix our broken pipe. Yep another one. We descovered it the night before, and tried to call our maintenance guy, who of course wasn't home. We new he would never come out on a holiday to fix it so Jake decided to just do it himself. We figured he could probably do a better job anyway. The pipe that broke was the same one that broke twice before. Since Jake fixed it we have had no problems. Anyway back to the 4th, well we had planned on going to the fireworks that night. We had heard good things about the show around here but..... about 2 hours before it was time to go Jake became seriously ill and we could not leave the comfort of the toilet behind. So Rileigh, Jaci, and I went out to our back yard to watch them and we could actually see them pretty well since the ground around here is so flat. It wasn't as great as being in town would have been, but Rileigh had a ball. Our nabors put on quite a show too, and we clapped and oohed and ahhed over there show. Who knows what they thought about that, but we enjoyed ourselves.

The girls in a fire truck. Rileigh thought it was awesome. Jacilynn put up with it.
