Baking a Ham, Halloween, and Farming!

I think anyone who even looks at my blog already knows but we are baking a very special little ham that will be due sometime next May. He/she will have the perfect amount of seasonings from Jared and me containing, humor, athleticism, patience, beauty or handsomeness, intelligence, spirit, and obviously humility! Right now I am about 14 weeks and feeling great! I am getting big really fast with this one and so stay tuned as I post my growth. Soon, I may not even fit on the screen!

Jared and the kids looked so cute I had to just take a picture of them.

Eli's hair was getting so long and so here is a picture of us giving him a haircut.

For Halloween, the girls were cheerleaders, Eli was our mascot, the chicken, and Jared and I were basketball players. We went to our friends, the Godfrey's, house and partied! They are playing pin the femur on the skeleton.

I have to say that the best costumes there were the Incredibles. Annie Godfrey made matching costumes for her whole family and they turned out soooooo sooooo good!

Our classic chicken costume that all our kids have now worn. It is my favorite one we have and I am glad that we have gotten a good use out of it! Eli would flap his wings and go cock-a-doodle-do once or twice and then quickly take it off. I couldn't keep it on him all night!

Kenzie had crazy hair day at school.

Front view. She was cute!

Our neighbor is a farmer and one morning, he was out early plowing the field near our house. He saw the kids watching through the window and gave them each a ride up and down the field.

Eli seemed scared at first but started smiling after a while.

Gary is helping Eli wave to me!

Oh, I thought I had gotten a picture of Kenzie but it would be a hassle to try and put it in now, so here is another picture of Eli.

Alexis with Gary, she was still in her jammies. She had on her pink coat and pink boots with her princess jammies and Gary said the machine might not work with so much pink in the cabin. :)

Mesa Falls

3 Weeks ago, my brother Jamie, and his family came up from Utah to visit. (That's when we all went fishing.) But, we also all went to Mesa Falls. My sister Sharon planned the trip and it ended up being such a nice day to go hiking. Three car loads and an hour and a half drive got us to Mesa Falls. A super pretty water fall. I had never been there so I was glad we took the opportunity to go. I don't have a picture of Sharon's family but she posted a picture of them on her blog.

Here is Jamie, Mel, Noah, Kaleb, Carson, and Garret standing next to the upper falls. Jared, Me, Kenzie, Lex, and Eli.
We were finishing up our picnic lunch when a man and his daughter came riding by on their beautiful horses. They stopped and let each of the kids pet, feed, and ride the horses. I was jealous, I really wanted to ride the horses too! Lex was scared at first but then finally decided she wanted to get on the horse too.

Eli had no fears. He really liked the horses.

Mackenzie really liked the horses too. She wanted to get on again after her turn was over. You can see Sharon's little girl Jayner's on the horse behind Kenzie.

It was a really fun day. We went out for dinner that night at Hard Hat Grill and it was pretty good food. They have these specials where kids, 12 and under, eat free. So watch for those adds because you can save yourself a bunch of money and still go out.
