Our First Idaho Visitors

This weekend we had our first visitors since we have moved here to Idaho. My Grandma Cookie and Grandpa John came for a little visit. On Friday they took the boys to the circus that was in town, while Tyson and I had a date night. Then on Saturday I showed them around town a little and then we went to Rock Creek Park (a park by our home) for a picnic, walking, and fishing. The boys caught about a dozen fish; Grandma and I left early to get some groceries for dinner, and we took Wyatt with us too cause he fell in the really cold river and we needed to get him so clothes.

The Boys and their "Great" Grandparents

Hunter got to ride an elephant at the Circus, Wyatt was not interested.

The boys feed some of the animals at the circus.

It wouldn't be a circus without cotton candy.

Wyatt enjoyed the cotton candy but did not like his hands being sticky.

Grandma and the boys with a huge white boa.

While the boys were at the circus Tyson and I went on a hike and out for dessert.

Picnic at Rock Creek Park.

Hunter found a snake, but Grandma was the one that caught it. (What a Grandma!)

Grandma and the snake.

Hunter of course asked Tyson if he could take the snake home, and Tyson as usual said yes.

Wyatt loves to hold the fish they would catch. (He looks a little like his cousin Owen in this picture).

Boys and their catches of the day.

Hunter took the fishing pole up the creek by himself, and came running back with the fish he caught.

 

Grandpa fishing (he caught quite a few off the little spider man fishing pole).

Grandpa and Hunter with their fish.

Great job fishing guys!

My hunk of fisherman.

When the boys got home Tyson cooked the fish for a fabulous dinner. Grandma also did some cooking for dinner too, it was sooo good.

To top off the evening Grandma challenge Hunter to some wii games.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for a wonderful weekend. We are so glad you guys were able to come up for a visit and see where we live. We love you guys a lot!!!

Halloween Wreath

I finished making my Halloween rag wreath the other day. I love the holiday between October and December, they are just so festive!

Tyson's 32nd Birthday

Tyson turned 32 on Monday so we had a yummy dinner and his favorite cake (the candy bar cake). Our neighbors came over to celebrate with us and brought Tyson a jar of delicious home-made strawberry jam. We have the greatest neighbors. Then to top off the night we played sing-star on the PlayStation (for those who haven't played t you're missing out). Hunter would beat Tyson about half of the time even though he can read the words (he makes it up). Anyways, it was a great evening to celebrate Tyson.

Such great singers.

Manual Mode

Okay so I am going to try my best from now on to only shoot pictures in manual mode. Normal I shoot in AV mode, but I am taking full control and am going to shoot in Manual. The boys were good sports and let me practice on them, of course they had to do a silly picture too.

Random Pictures

So here are some random pictures from the past couple of days.

Rain for the past couple of days makes a beautiful Rainbow.

Tyson with his new work truck.

We didn't have any power for a couple of hours so Wyatt and went walking around the mall, and Yes he still is wearing the Spiderman suit.

I took this picture of Hunter about 2 weeks ago when he rode his bike to school.

My Spider-Man!

This is my spider-man. He is very talented in all the spidie ways.

 He can shoot spider webs

 Leaps off of tall buildings (ok, bleachers).

 Faster than the speed of light

 And he can climb sky scrapers (oh, okay a soccer goal).



I love my little spider man who at the moment refuses to wear anything else but his spider suit. He is on his 4th in a row of wear this special suit that gives him these special powers. I've been trying to convince him to be Peter Parker and to hide his spider-man identity, but I'm not have much luck.

Last soccer game

Yesterday was Hunter's last soccer game of the season. His team was undefeated, and not to brag but mainly cause Hunter would score at least 3 goals a game. I just love watching him play, he is awesome. After their game was over he got a soccer medal (which to him was the coolest thing ever).

Witch & Haunted House

I wanted to make this really cute witch word that I saw. For the most part cutting the word wasn't a problem, that is until I got to the "c" I was a 3rd times a charm type of relationship between myself, the cricut, the scroll saw, and the sander. But in the end I was finally able to make the "c" I wanted. I also cut out a haunted house which was a little tricky, but yet fun to make. I have cut out some other items to go with the haunted house. I work on decorating those next.

GOAL!!!!!

Here is a video of Hunter in one of his typical soccer games. He usually scores around 3 goals a game if not more. Today he scored 6 goals. He is a stud!

My Soccer Star

Hunter played Goalie the other day and made some awesome saves, here is one of them!

Wyatt's Hurt

Wyatt fell off the couch yesterday falling on the wooden table tray stand on his way to the floor scraping his side. After a lot of crying for him he stops crying and says, "Wyatt's Hurt." Then goes back to crying and saying I need a boo boo (a band aid).

Wyatt the Spider-Man

Wyatt eats, breaths and lives for spider-man, and still on occasion Woody, and Buzz. He is always getting into Hunter's pajama drawer and putting in the spider-man shirt with black webbing in the arms. He runs around pretending to shoot spider-webs at everyone and everything. He'll crawl around and all 4's and try to climb the walls while saying, "Look mom! I'm spider-man!" He loves his spider-man action figures and can not go anywhere with out them or to bed with that matter. I just love my little web shooting spider boy.

Boys Yearly Check Up

Today the boys had their yearly check-up and meet their new doctor (which was all just loved). Hunter went first, but Wyatt as so excited to get checked out that he laid on the table for his turn. Hunter is in the 95% for Height (52 inches) and 70% for weight (54lbs), and Wyatt is in the 83% for Height (40 inches), and 45% for weight (30lbs).

Boo!

One Halloween craft down, lots more to go. Before we moved I cut out a ton of different crafts and filled a whole big storage tub so full that you couldn't put a lid on. There is LOTS more to come.

Another Day at the Lake

This past Saturday after Hunter's soccer game we went boating again with our friends. The weather water was great and the weather was awesome!!! It was a day spent on the floating dock, the boats, tubing, and wake surfing. Hunter rode on Chad's shoulders while he was wake surfing. I actually was getting the hang of it this time surfing behind the boat without using the rope that much. A another great day. Oh and the canyon that we go boating in as gorgeous! There are tons of waterfalls coming out of the rocks up and down the whole canyon.

Let the Games Begin

Hunter had his first soccer game of the season here in Twin Falls. I love that it only cost $15 to play rather than $90 back in Temecula. There are 10 kids on his team and 5 play at a time and the kids are all the same age. This year they play with goalies (which I just love). Hunter played the 1st and 3rd quarter of the game and in the 1st quarter he played goalie and did and awesome job. In the 3rd quarter he scored 4 goals and had 1 assist, he is amazing! I would love for him to play goalie, but is makes a great forward. His team won 8 to 4 (you're not suppose to keep count, but the kids still do). And once again he towers over half the other kids.

GOAL!!!!!
