AAAAHHHH! A Snake!

Tonight when Britton and I got home from my aunt and uncles house we found a snake on the stairs. I actually didn't notice it and walked right over it. Then Britton came in after me and said, "Umm...there's a snake." I thought he was joking until I looked at the stairs that I had just walked down. Then we thought it was a Halloween prank that was pulled on us by our landlords (because they are goofy like that)...UNTIL it started to coil up because it was scared. I flipped out and jumped on the couch. Britton started walking down more stairs to get closer to it and scared the snake. It started to move and I flipped even more. Finally, Britton saved the day. I got him a glove and he picked up the snake and took it outside and threw it in our neighbors front yard (so hopefully they aren't reading this)!

Family Home Evening!

Once a month my whole family gets together to have a combined Family Home Evening. Linsey and Derek were just in charge of the FHE in October and we had a lot of fun. The kids were able to go on a scavenger hunt. At the end of the scavenger hunt the kids got bags of Halloween treats and the adults got AUTUMN blocks. My sister is very crafty. She made the blocks for every family. She is great! We then had dinner together and then made caramel apples...yum!

Pickin' Potatoes!

Every year my Uncle Arvid plants a farm full of potatoes. Every October our whole family gets together and we pick potatoes. Thinking back on the past years that we have done this it is usually raining or it is freezing cold. Today was a beautiful day. It started out a little cold, but gradually got really warm. It was the perfect day to pick potatoes.

I love this picture. The kids took a lunch break in Grandma's van. They all sat in the back and they were silent the whole time. They must have been really hungry.

Tyler liked to pick the little baby potatoes

Rachel's Birthday!

Last night Britton and I went to Aunt Rachel's birthday dinner. We went to Tucanos Brazilian Grill up at the Gateway. We love Rachel and we hope she had a wonderful birthday.

2nd Grade Halloween Party!

Today was our 2nd grade Halloween Party. I teach D track so we are off track on Halloween day. Therefore, we get to have our party early. We had so much fun! I dressed up as a witch. Here are a few pictures of me standing by our class poster of homonyms that we made. Isn't it fitting?
P.S: I really like my purple and black tights!

Babysitting!

Britton and I babysat my sisters two boys last night. We babysat Braedon who is 2 1/2 and Daxton who is barely 2 months. Britton and I had a lot of fun with them.
I was downstairs changing Daxton's diaper and I could hear Britton and Braedon laughing upstairs. After I was done I went upstairs to see what they were laughing about. Braedon had dressed up Britton with star glasses and a fireman hat. I thought it was so funny that I had to get a picture of it.


Braedon thought it was so funny that I was laughing at Britton that he decided to dress me up next. Of course we had to get Braedon back - so we dressed him up.



It was time for Braedon to put his pajamas on because it was almost time for bed. I was in the bathroom when I heard a little knock at the door. When I opened it there was Braedon with his pajama pants on top of his head. He said, "I've got my pajamas on Aubrey." What a funny kid. I don't know how he comes up with these things.
