We have really missed these parties.

Those of you who have grown up with my family, know what a big deal Halloween is to my mom. She is always a witch and she has always handed out homemade donuts and homemade witch's brew(root beer.) She travels around to schools and does her Witch's Brew skit, complete with singing, crazy props, and lots of dry ice. The kids love it, and of course her kids and grand kids do as well. I have to say that we have truly missed Halloween at the Noel house for the last three years. We made up for this year with a wonderfully spooky party. Complete with ghost games, donut contest, witch's brew of course, and even a spooky haunted house put on by my father and nephew's(and it actually was really scary, I was impressed.)

Pumpkin Walk

The boys were so excited this year for the Cache Valley Pumpkin walk. Every year people from all over Logan design scenes made of pumpkins. This year they did a movie theme, and it was really fun walking around and seeing everyone's creations. It's always free, always fun, and will always be one of my favorite things to do in Logan during the fall.

Slumber party.

Every once in awhile my sweet husband has the great idea of having a slumber party with the boys. So they all sleep on the floor downstairs, watch movies, eat popcorn, and have tons of fun!! I know Matt never sleeps great, but the boys love it so of course it is worth it.

potty training reward.

We promised the boys that once they were potty trained we would take them to Boondock's. They were so excited, they would not stop talking about it. We made good on our promise, and had a lot of fun.

overdue barbeque

Over the summer Matt's sister Cathy, brother-in-law John, and nephew Ethan came for a visit. We were so excited to see them. When we lived in Florida they lived in Georgia and we were able to see them quite a bit, but then they moved to Ohio and the visits have become a lot less. We sure miss them, but we are glad we had a fun visit together.

Can't wait to see you all again!!

taking the advice.....

I've been told many times before that I need to take as MANY pictures as possible because my kids will change so much and so fast. I have taken this advice to heart. Don't want to miss anything!
