Halloween
Well, Halloween was fun this year. We went to my Sister-in-Laws wards trunk or treat. They had chili and soup, and the kids got LOADS of candy! Then Saturday night, Aunt Misty took the older 2 with her kids to my Mother in Laws wards trunk or treat. Blayke was Super Man, Konnor was a puppy and Cierra was an angel. They looked adorable, and had a lot of fun. The baby and I stayed in the second night because of a yucky ol' cold going around. :( Due to circumstances at home, I will probably head home sooner than expected, so on Thursday, we are headed to Southeast Idaho to see friends and family there! I will do a post later with lotsa pics..But for now, I am gonna go enjoy family!!

What have we been up to?!?!
Well, I haven't updated in a couple of weeks..Life has been busy. We are OFFICIALLY moving into a new house..Or should I say WOODY is moving us, as I am vacay-ing (I KNOW IT'S NOT A WORD!) in Idaho!! Poor guy, workin' 15+ hours a day, AND moving us all alone?! What kinda wife am I?! LOL!
Other things? Well, Blayke is the funniest person ever. He makes me laugh every single day. Yesterday, it was: "My boogers are tickling my nose!" The day before, he was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" with Grandma, and at the part where he stays in his cocoon for 2 weeks, grandma asked Blayke, "How long does he stay?" Blayke said, "3 hours!" It was just too cute! He, of course, is L.O.V.E-LOVING all of the extra attention he is getting at grandma and grandpa's house!
Cierra, oh my sweet princess, she is getting so huge! She has lost 2 teeth on bottom, 2 teeth on top, and has 2 more on bottom loose! She is loving homeschool, especially while we are in Idaho, and she sees her cousins going to school for a whole day, and we are usually done by noon!! =D Even though she is growing up, she still only weighs 37 pounds! (Blayke weighs 32, and baby Konnor weighs 17!!) She is thouroughly enjoying playing with Hayley! Who, by the way, is her age, and has the same sassy attitude!
Baby Konnor..Well, he is getting HUGE also! 2 teeth on the bottom. LOVES graham crackers! We are at 6 months nursing, and still going strong! (YAY!)He, as mentioned above, weighs 17 pounds! HE IS BIG! He is soo close to crawling, I know it is just a matter of time...Maybe I will finally lose some weight, chasing him AND Blayke around all day!! He loves singing and story time! He is such a blessing to our family!
Woody and I are doing well. I am missing him TERRIBLY! 4 weeks is too long! He got stuck in a horrible blizzard last night, and ended up being stuck ALL NIGHT LONG! Stinks, but I am thankful he is ok!!
I am enjoying Idaho...Haven't really done a whole lot. On Sunday, we carved pumpkins, colored pillowcases for trick or treating, and frosted cupcakes..There were 9 kids! MADNESS! But still oh so much fun! Well, have a great day! LOVE To all!

You know....
...***THOSE** days...The ones...You know...That you are soo greatful and thankful for everything that you have, and feel oh so blessed? The ones that you forget all the 'yuckies' life has and focus on all the good?! I am SOO having one of those days!! I have the 3 of the best kids in the world, and I adore them. I have a husband who works so hard, and is such a fantastic dad. (I kinda like him too! ;) ) We have a place to live, and **MOST LIKELY** a place to move to when we get booted from this place. (THIS is a HUGE blessing, as there are families LITERALLY living in camp trailers and hotels!)
My kids have also been remarkably good today. They went to bed and were asleep before 10 last night, and Konnor only woke up 2 times, AND the older 2 slept until 8! Then, Blayke took a REALLY good nap, and so did Konnor!! Cierra is an awesome help around the house, and I am again greatful that SHE is my oldest child!
Life is good. We are chuggin' along. Have I mentioned that there are only 15 days until we leave for Idaho?! (This is what I get to wake up to EVERY DAY! Cierra is a bit excited, to say the least!)
Well, I am off to scour our barren cupboards for SOMETHING for supper..If you ever ever want to quit fast food, move here to Watford City ND..Tonight I would KILL for a drive thru with some greasy, bad for me, food!

A few things....
So, we went to Minot to the zoo last weekend..Oh so fun!! I loved it. Woody loved it. Blayke loved it. Cierra loved it. Konnor...Well...He slept through it! (LOVE the wrap!) It is such a fun zoo! We saw lions, bears, monkeys....No baby giraffe though! I was a bit disappointed...They had little dispensers that you put a quarter in and you could feed certain animals...Deer, ducks, sheep. I loved the orangutangs. The one climbed the fence to the food bucket, dug through, found a banana, put it in his mouth, and continued to dig until he found another one. Then he laid down on the ground with his hand on his head and enjoyed them! SOO funny! I laughed and laughed at them! =)
We were there for 2 1/2 hours, ate cotton candy, and enjoyed our family time!!
I am so thankful for my awesome family and husband..... I love them, and REALLY love making memories with them!!
On another note, my daughter (Who, by the way, is missing BOTH of her front top teeth) wakes me up EVERYMORNING telling me how many days until Idaho! LOL!
Still LOVIN home school! Still lovin cloth diapers! And have decided breastfeeding is THE BEST thing EVER!
Watford City is growing on me! I have met another AMAZING woman! Her name is Nancy..(weird to meet someone who ISN'T 80 with my name!! LOL!) She is super cool! She and I seem to have LOADS in common, and I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know her!
AND FINALLY! We are likely getting kicked out of our apartment soon...STRESSSSSSSSSS!! Apparently, an oil company bought the complex, and wants it for their employees families... USUALLY, in most areas, this wouldn't be the CRISIS it is for us. But seriously, houses here are hard to find, and reasonable prices are impossible! Hopefully, we will figure it out!!
That is all for tonight! Good night ALL!

HAPPY OCTOBER!
WHAT?! WHERE DID THE YEAR GO?! We are down to the FINAL 3! INSANE!! We have lots and lots to be excited for this month and next!!
We are going to travel 3 hours tomorrow, and go to, what I have heard, is the best zoo in ND. It is in a town called Minot. The website said they have a new baby giraffe..I think that, besides Woody being able to go, is what I am most excited for. We will listen to Conference on the way there. Sunday, we are watching it on the internet at home, and I am making a yummy ham, candied carrots and potatoes!! We are excited to hear the First Presidency address us. Then, of course, is our trip to IDAHO!!! YAYYYYY!! I sooo cannot wait for this! The kids and I will be leaving on the 24th, and wont be back until the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am excited to spend Halloween and my birthday and Thanksgiving in Idaho! Woodys parents are planning a HUGE Halloween party, and I am over the moon excited for that! =)
I love love love Thanksgiving!! It is my favorite Holiday. (Most peoples is Christmas, and there are aspects of Christmas that I love, but honestly, it is SUCH a stressful holiday!) Thanksgiving comes to me, usually stress free, and as the PERFECT excuse to eat LOADS of absolutely, mouth-watering, delicious food! Add to that that we will be with family, and it doesn't get ANY better!
My birthday this year...I am kinda depressed about it, as Woody will still be here in ND. Oh well...I told him he has to take me on a date when he gets to Idaho...We will see!! And did I mention I turn 27 this year?! HOLY CRAP!!! And what a year it's been...But more on that later. Hope y'all have a happy weekend!!!
