Torture!!

I have been doing P90X for a few weeks now and although it is intense, (dare I say extreme?) it's actually fun. That being said, there is one workout that it just a little outrageous. This little ray of sunshine is called YogaX and I freaking hate it. It's an hour and a half of downward this, and upward that and is pure torture! YogaX is the devil's workout and Tony Horton is the devil himself. Sorry Thursdays, I officially hate you.

Randoms

As you may have noticed, I like to take pictures - mostly pictures of my kids. When we're at home and I'm bored or feel like we've had far too much Special Agent Oso for the day, I like to pull out the camera and take random pics of the kids. Jackson absolutely loves to take, be in, and look at pictures (which I LOVE!). As soon as we take a picture, he yells 'Lemme See!'. He even took the ones of Peyton and I and I think he's pretty good for a 3 year old!

Family Pictures 2009

We had family pictures taken a couple weeks ago, the 1st professional ones we've EVER done just of our family! It was way overdue and so much fun. My friend Heather Jones has a photography business and she took them for us. (Notice her button on the right-hand side of the page, go check her out she's awesome!!) We are going to start doing this every year, kids grow and change so fast we need to keep up on that. Enjoy and let us know what you think! Oh, and they were taken at Union Station in Ogden and the surrounding area. There are so many cool backgrounds around there.

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, it's so fun to take the kids trick-or-treating and watch how excited they get. Jackson had me practice with him a few days before, just to make sure he got it right :) This year Jack was Spiderman and Peyton was a bear, they looked so cute. My sister Hilary and her kids came with us, and my parents came out with us as well and everyone had such a great time.

We were shocked to only have 3 trick-or-treaters come to our house, and 2 were our neighbors! I know we live kind of out of the way, but we thought for sure kids would find us if there was candy involved! We just kept the candy we bought to give out, so that was ok, but it's always fun to see what all the other kids are dressed up as. Oh well, maybe next year!

Pumpkins

As promised, here's our carved pumpkins - I think they turned out great! Josh's is the haunted house, mine is the 'trick-or-treat', Jack's is the little monster, and Peyton's is the happy jack-o-lantern. We had so much fun and Jackson just loved that he had his very own pumpkin. This time of year is so fun!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a local pumpkin patch the other day to get some pumpkins to carve for Halloween. Jackson had been talking it about for days and was so excited to get to pick out any pumpkin he wanted. We weren't thinking ahead and bought them too early to carve right away. We want them to still be good for Halloween so we're waiting till next week to actually carve them. For now they are just cute decorations on our porch steps! I'll post some more pics once we actually carve them!

At the little farm we went to they had old farm tools that Jack thought were so cool, those are the things he is standing in front of. Peyton was there too, of course, but she was sleeping so she didn't get to join in on the picture taking.

Happy Birthday, Leah!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my girl Leah. We have been friends forever and I love her so much! I have so many funny memories of her and I growing up, ahh the good old days. Happy Birthday, friend!! (This picture is so old, but it's the only one I can find at the moment.)
