Concert

We went to Utah this weekend to see Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown in concert. It was such a good show. We have liked the first band for a long time and I knew of Shinedown and liked some of their songs. They were both great and we would defiantly go see them both again. 

Crazy Hair

Last week the kids had crazy hair day at school. Really the only thing we could think to do was to color it. I found one that only lasts 1-2 washes and it's gone. The kids loved it. 

The day that was hair day was also signing/moving day for us. Of course Jacks had to be like his siblings and have his hair colored. My dad was in the hospital for about 2 weeks total over the course of 3 weeks with gallbladder problems. My mom took Jacks with her for the day Friday so we could sign without Jacks there.... red and blue hair and all. He had a blast though.

The Painting

Brad likes to paint and at the beginning of the year my friend asked him to paint a picture for her. After going through a few ideas they figured out one, a realistic one. Brad hasn't ever done that, but he was ready for the challenge. It had taken a while, but he has learned so much doing it and well as you can see it turned out really really well. I'm always amazed with that his mind can think of and then get out on canvas. Now time for all the projects we have for the house. 

Coloring

There are new coloring books out that are geared towards adults. The pictures are mosaic, paisley or other scenery. They are lots of fun to do and my mom has had one for a few weeks. The kids have watched her color in it and asked if they could get one. She got them one and they all are hooked, Emery especially. She will sit for hours each night with Grandma and color. Emery will really miss doing that when we close on our house. 

Halloween

This year for Halloween we were in Utah then Idaho. Brad and I had a concert on the 30th, so we stayed with a friend and did some stuff with them, then came home and did a little trick or treating home. 

Beck was a devil child, or so he said. He just liked the mask.

 Cam was a skeleton mage.

 Jacks was the indomonus rex from Jurassic World. 

 Emery was a skeleton, but when it came down to wearing the costume she only wanted the mask, and borrowed Beck staff for a while. 

The kids got a lot of candy, way too much, but they loved it. This was the first year the boys went out with a friend. I like that they have a friend to hang out with, but they are growing up to fast for my liking. 

Football

The boys are doing flag football. It's been fun to watch them. Neither of them are very aggressive but  they still have a lot of fun and are getting better. We'll have to put them in real football next year. 

 At first they did a lot of standing around. They move more now though. 

Books

Well it's been about a month since I blogged. Stuff has happened, but I just kept forgetting to write. A few months ago the boys drew a picture to enter into a Goosebumps contest. We didn't send it in in time; the boys had finished them in time, we just forgot to send them. We hoped the boys forgot about, but they didn't. To make up for it we got them a book and "mailed' it to them as if it was from the contest. They both were so excited when it came and showed everyone. Someday we'll tell them the truth. 

First Appointment

Camden started his allergy treatment today. I think I was as nervous as he was. I hate seeing him get shots. He had to get a shot in each arm 3 times. He kept tensing up (which I don't blame him) so it hurt a little bit more. I held his hand each time, which seemed to help. I hope that once it kicks in a little he won't be so scared of them. His right arm got a little red, which isn't bad but doesn't happen a lot with the first round. The doctor said that he may have to go slower but they won't know for sure will the 3rd week. It's hard on Camden and a long (LONG) time, but I am hopeful he'll be my happy Camden again, and be able to breath. 

Emery's B-Day Two

We took Emery to Boise to celebrate her birthday and it was a lot of fun. She wanted her cousin to come with her and together they had a blast. We went to "Hotel Transylvanian 2" first. I got the tickets and saw the price. It didn't look right, but the number of tickets were right, just after I slid my card I noticed I picked 3d and the next wasn't for a while so, we got some fun glasses. 

 Next was Build a Bear. 

 Then dinner at Wingers,

 And swimming at the hotel. It was a fun trip and the girls talked and played the whole time. I'm glad we brought someone along for Emery to have with her. 

Emery's 7

Today is Emery's 7th birthday! She was so excited today and I think mostly to take treats into school. We didn't do a big part for her because on Friday we are taking her to Boise for the day. We have done the same for the boys and we wanted her turn. 

I made the cake this year. It looks like a heart right?

 The boys got her a gift and we got her something small to open, it was a fun small party. 

Emery is such a fun girl. She is a daddies girl and knows that dad will giver her whatever she wants (just like I knew too). She loves school and learning and is doing really well, after getting used to a few things. Emery is all girl still and loves painting nails, makeup, clothes, shoes, you name it she loves it. I do miss my shopping buddy and making lists with her before I go and shop for food. Her and Jacks are best friends and play so well together. He misses her, but loves seeing her when she comes home from school. She knows how to get whatever she wants out of Brad, she knows to ask him if she wants anything. Her favorite food is Oreos, her favorite subject is painting, her favorite thing to play with is her camera from Christmas. We love Emery so much. She is a nice change from all the boy in the house.
