More Guymon Photography...

Okay, we didn't have the best photo shoot ever, but my dad is so amazing at what he does that we were able to salvage a few good ones of each kid. No WAY were we getting one with both kids at the same time, but that will have to come another day. Jenna was having a rough day and anytime that Anthony even came close to her, she would scream. Check out the picture on my side bar :). They did LOVE their apples though. My kids LOVE apples so they were in paradise when Grandpa wanted to take their picture in the apple tree! I cannot believe how big their smiles were! Even my grumpy little Jenna! Thanks Dad for being so patient with my little ones! I love all the pictures we got!! This is Anthony's staple outfit. Come over any day, any time and you will find him in shorts and his basketball shirt :)...oh and his slippers!!

Jenna thought this box was the most fun she had all day! She would climb in and fall out and just giggle!
And, this is Anthony trying to blow up a balloon! He sure gave it his best shot!

Oh the energy!!

My Kids seem to have endless amounts of energy. We as mothers need to find a way to tap into their energy, even half of it would be wonderful!! When Jake came home from coaching wrestling, he had his stopwatch out and Anthony wanted to see how fast he could run down the hall and back. I have no idea how many times he did it, but he was laughing all the way. Jenna got in on the fun too and was so busy going back and forth, I couldn't get a picture without her being blurry. They would both take off down the hall when Jake would say "On your marks, get set, GO." Jenna would giggle all the way down and Anthony would do all he could to stay serious! It made for a fun night.

I was going to post a video with them giggling and Anthony laughing, but blogger won't let me. Sorry!

I've been humbled...

Okay, I posted pictures of my weekend snow fall this morning and now I found these pictures....
So now I'm glad we didn't get quite that much snow this weekend!!! HAHA...does that make it better that I still got snow in October??

Anyone want a girl and her 2 kids??

I give up. I can't handle snow on October 11th. Come back in a month when Halloween is over...two months just in time for Christmas, but not in October. We had quite the weekend of weather this past weekend. If anyone is accepting semi-perminant visitors until the snow melts in Idaho, let me know! I'd love to find somewhere I could let my kids swim for 8 months straight (Jenny), actually enjoy a fall day (Janelle) or just get out of the snow :). At least Anthony was excited. It makes it a little easier when the kids get excited, but NOT in October!

Breast Cancer awareness month

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today!

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' -- for free (pink window in the middle). This does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate a mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

AGAIN... PLEASE ASK 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 FRIENDS. Thanks.

Our first piggies...

Jenna's hair is really quite long in the back and i've been sick of her 'wings' out the sides. So against her screaming and Jake laughing at me, I put them in pigtails on Sunday. Boy, you would have thought I was beating my child, but they turned out REALLY cute. Not worth going through the battle everyday, but some days, you bet!! Here are some pictures...

Canning season must end SOON!!

Okay, i've been missing in action for a while now on my blog, hopefully someone has noticed ;). Every spare minute has been consumed with canning these last two weeks...oh and putting on a super saturday for our ward!! Busy, busy!

I have never canned before...only the few times I watched my mom do it from a distance. But this year, I got the bug. I'm not sure where I got it..but I did. It must be in the air.

Here is the list of things i've canned so far...
--Green beans
--Applesauce
--Freezer corn
--Peaches (canned, frozen, syrup, ate..you name it 80 lbs of peaches when through my house)
--Pizza sauce
--Choke Cherry syrup and jelly
--Apricot jam
--and I have 50 lbs of pears coming my way and WAY more tomatoes on my plant outside.

I have really enjoyed putting in my store downstairs and I'm sure will enjoy the fresh produce throught the winter! I also LOVE the sound of the 'popping' the lids make as they seal! But my mom even said I have a canning floor right now, it is sticky and dirty and I'd like to get it clean sometime soon!!
