CAUGHT!

I caught Sariah in the refrigerator the other

day and this is what she did when I caught her.

What a cutie--I couldn't get mad at her.

EWWWWWWWWW

The kids like to take off their Shirts while carving pumpkins

Sariah was wondering why I was telling her to make a mess.

Jacob didn't dare at first but then thought it was cool

Mitzy had way to much fun.

End result 6 pumpkins carved.

Jacob's birthday

Jacob had a bug themed 5th birthday!

This was my first attempt to decorate a cake

I think he turned out okay for my first time.
The cake started to fall apart because he was
so massive. He blew out his candles on the second try.

We had a pinata- I made this and I think he turned out

pretty cute.

Jake loves thomas and one of his friends gave him a

thomas reader book.

We had bug cupcakes--The bugs are plastic.

We ran out of springles and had to use

sugar sprinkles on the rest of them.

He got some more Thomas trains from Mom and Dad

This is what he got from his Grandpa in Idaho.

It is a table with a drawer underneath to hold

all of his trains. Wonderful for mom and it fits

in his room. He loved his birthday.

Cousins and Sisters

We had a lot of fun while my sister was here from

North Carolina. We went to the Washington Recreation Center,

Pirate Island Pizza and they were sealed together as a family

in the St. George Temple. The above picture was taken at

the Recreation Center. Becca and Mitzy had tons of fun

with their cousin Amelia.

Here we are outside the Temple, one sister is

not pictured--Alayna. She was sick.

Jacob and Samson became really good friends,

they played together a lot and had so much fun,

they even turned on the mud outside my home

and played in it a little bit. We will miss them and

hope to see them again soon. We love you Hoppe Family.

10 Years Today

Bruce and I started out as just friends

who would hang out together once

in a while. He took me hiking in Zion,

We would go to the temple grounds often

and just had a lot of fun together.

One thing led to another and then

On October 9, 1999 he took me to the Temple

and fulfilled one of my life long dreams.

He also helped me fulfill another dream

by having 4 beautiful children.

Thanks my love and Happy Anniversary.

E.R. visit

Last night we had a funny experience.

Jacob was jumping around and playing

with Sariah. Then he all of a sudeen comes

into the Den and starts screaming, get it out

it hurts it hurts. I couldn't figure out what it was

that was hurting him. He finally pointed to his nose and

said that there was a bead up there-a perler bead.

We tried everything to get it out and finally took

him to the E.R. 1 hour after he had shoved it up there,

it was out. They take a little plastic thread looking thing,

poke it up past the object, inflate a balloon on the end of

the thread and it pulls the object out. Jacob did not like it

one bit. He keeps telling me, mommy I will never shove anything

up my nose again. Crazy kid, I couldn't help, but to laugh, and still

I cannot help but laugh everytime I think about it.

Fire Department Open House

Last week we attended the Fire Department Open House

this was a lot of fun. The kids got to ride in the fire truck

around the block-we waited in line for and hour-that is why

it is dark outside. This picture shows Mitzy in the front.

This is Rebecca and her best friend Jasmine.

This is a picture of them getting into the truck.
