Pumpkin 2013

Eastern Idaho State Fair

We have fun at the State Fair on Labor Day. It rained all day, but we avoided getting wet by going in the buildings and being under the tents. Cousin Taythen had chicken at the fair, we made it just in time to see him show it. We had lunch while we watched the horse competitions. The kids got to dress up like pioneers and we feed the animals at the petting zoo.

The Start of the Harvest and School

We have about 10 bottles of spaghetti sauce, 29 bags of corn in the freezer, and 3 pint and 2 half pints of corn cob syrup. We are planning on canning more spaghetti sauce, salsa and sweet and sour tomorrow.

The kids will be starting school this week they are jealous that Grandma, Aunt Haley and many cousins get to start school before they do.  RyAnn is in 4th grade and gets to go to the new 3 through 5 grade elementary school (the old 6 and 7  grade school). Issac is going to be in 2nd grade.  Morriah is going to be in AM kindergarten. She is also going to be in the language immersion program that starts this year at our elementary school. She is going to learn Spanish. Elizza gets to spend her day with Mom going to exercise, get kids after kindergarten, and learn more vocabulary.  Mom is excited to get on a schedule before she starts taking classes online in two weeks.

Christmas party and more

Saturday Morning, we had so much fun at the Binggeli Christmas party that my mom and dad hosted. My mom made a breakfast casserole that was delicious. We played santa (bingo). Haley read The night before christmas and we all attending was able to get a white elephant gift.

Around 6:00 PM, We went to a small christmas parade on Main Street in Garland. After the parade the kids got to sit on Santa Claus' lap and tell him one thing that they wanted to get for Christmas.

Elizza just looked at santa and tried to figure out who he is.

 

Morriah  just smile like this.

Issac said that he wants Cars 2 the movie. 

RyAnn said that she wants a snow globe.

RyAnn's bedroom

RyAnn's bedroom is finished. She is loving it. She is only a little scared of sleeping downstairs because of the possible spiders. She got she pick out the paint color. I think color looks good more now that it is finished.

My kiddos are growing so fast !!!!

It is amazing to me how kids grow so fast and the thinks that they learn is such a small time.


RyAnn

• She loves school and is a 2nd grader. She love to read. Today she read for 80 minutes. When she started school was reading like a 3 grader in the 4th month of the school year.



• Tonight we had FHE. RyAnn was asked what her favorite Scripture is. She got her scriptures and looked up the scripture without help.

Issac

• He is in Kindergarten. He is a great reader. When I went to parent teacher conference, his teacher told me that she would put something up on the smartboard and Issac would be reading what it says to the kids at his table.

Morriah

• She is my little momma. She loves to help me take care of Elizza by carrying her (Morriah's arms wrapped under Elizza arms and around her chest), she hugs E when she cries or gets her a bottle or sippy cup.



• She loves it when I take a nap with her. She will get a book just like I do. Today I was reading the Ensign so she got the Friend. I looked to the other end of the couch and she was a sleep.

Elizza

• She is not sleeping through the night, she is gets naps.



• She loves the top stair to the basement. She will drop things onto it, so she came pick it up and drop it again.



• She loves to eat whatever she can get her hands on or anyone will give her.

Halloween

The camera is taking fuzzy pictures. Jared stayed home to hand out candy and take care of Elizza. He did a great job. Don't you just love the facial hair she is pulling off. (He clean it off before I got back.) He is just a fun daddy. (From right to left) RyAnn is a tiger, Issac is thor how to train a dragon), Morriah is Batgirl.

I took the 3 kids trick- or- treating just around the block. They got so much candy that Morriah opted to ride in the car most of the last half of the way around.

Jared and I went horseback riding with my cousin Ken and Lois Biorn last night. It was so fun riding by horseback into Mesa Falls north of Ashton, ID. It is so pretty up there.

My horse just wanted to run, while Jared's wanted to walk. The stirrups were to long for meand the saddle kept falling to the left side.

We spotted some bear and cub tracks. Lois didn't like the idea that we mite be following a bear. I was to worried about the horse taking off with me and falling off.

On the way back to the trailer we had to hurry before it got dark. It is not safe to be out in the dark in the hills. We had to trot the horses(or should I say had to run my horse). I told Ken to slow down, he stopped and I almost flew over my horse's head.

I would do it again and remember to ask for stirrups that were short enough for me.

Elizza is starting to crawl

Elizza is doing the army crawl. She saw a sticker from about 4 feet away, army crawled to it and stuck it in her mouth. She still palms things.

Grandpa was trying out our new lawn tractor this last weekend. Jared was able to repair the mower parts last night. Jared can now mow the lawn in a day instead two for the back and another two for the rest of the lawn.

weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks you Alicia for hosting dinner. It was fun spending time with family.

The black Friday deal were ok and I did get most of the rest of my Christmas shopping done.

I need to remember that Christmas is not about spending money and things. It is about giving the Love of Christ.

Can you believe it? In less than 3 weeks we will have a new little baby to add more love to our home.

The Eastern Idaho State Fair

We went to the fair yesterday it was fun. Jared got many ribbons for his baking: superintentent award for the men's division (cake, bread, pie, cookies) and won a blanket. He got second on his cookies, and third on sweet and sour sauce and bread. We walked around all the commerial buildings and the craft and antic buildings. RyAnn and I bought a hat that we can put on a baby girl and add a bow. Lets just hope that perditions are right and it is a girl. It was a long day but the weather was nice and cool.

Summer fun

We have been to fireworks and lit our own on the 4th of July weekend in two cities. Jared wasn't impressed with the ones we lit but the kids thought it was great. Morriah even thought she could lit a couple.

We have played in the cold water at Rigby lake and the snake river.

RyAnn jumped on the trampoline during a rain storm.

We have been trying to go to a couple parks before the heat of the day. some times we don't get to stay very long.

This last weekend Jared ran a 5K AT THE 24TH OF jULY CELEBRATION.

Jared said that he got some mystery plants from my Dad and now we have zucchini, pumpkin and crooked-neck squash growing. Now we can say that we will get some produce in addition all to the tomato plants that have blooms.

I'll counting our blessings.

week in review

This week went pretty fast.

Babysitting is hard as always with two one year olds in different moble stages. We went to the park on Tuesday. RyAnn, Issac, and Morriah liked the sand under the playground toys. I think it was the shade it gave them to be under there. It has been nice and warm.

We celebrate with the 3rd at Rigby Lake: got rained on for about 30 minutes, played in the sand and water, and watched firework. Issac fell a sleep waiting in RyAnn's little purple chair. Morriah just watched the Firework until Mom realized she was actually watching them.

We went to a parade and had a picnic and played at the park in Idaho Falls 9-3. We rested up. Then we head to Seth's house for dinner and daddy's fireworks (alot). It was alot of fun. RyAnn was asking Aunt Erin and the girls if they want to come next time (year) before we left for the night.

Little Reunion

Fishing, canoe and tents that's what camping is all about. If you are strong enough to brave the flooding rain.
There were 250 lbs of fish planted into the pond. RyAnn liked fishing with dad. Issac wanted to go for a swim but settle for canoing instead. Morriah just play in the dirt and kept mom busy keeping her out of the fire and pond.

Pumpkin and gourd as of June 23

past pictures

I was looking through my pictures and decided that I would blog some of my pictures.

Easter at Grandma and Grandpa's
What a cute family I have.









A trip too the Zoo is fun with Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Amber and Uncle James. We went for Mom and me at the Zoo ( Mother's Day weekend)

I cannot believe it is June already.

I was thinking that I missed Memorial Day somewhere. Anyway, I was reading in a book tonight and it said... you live close to the Spirit and don't you don't take what you have for granted. It made me think about the time I have been not spending with RyAnn, Issac, Morriah vs House organization I think need to be done. Dishes yes need to be done, Laundry needs to be done, food will always need to be prepared, etc. I know kids grow to fast I just need to get the thoughts to clean slowed down. Family time is the most importantthing that I can do with the time I have.
