No clips were used more than once.

Lots of Posts and Some Cute Pictures

There are a lot of posts so don't stop here, but these are just some recent pictures of Kade, he is getting so big. I love his cute little personality, he is still a really good baby. I think he is teething though because he has been kind of grouchy lately. He currently has his first cold. It's sad with his little runny nose.

All in a Night...

So yesterday Aaron and I were at school, and I took some more pictures of the campus, because it just looked so pretty. The campus by the way is UVU, to answer a question previously asked in a comment on a previous post. So it was raining, but so pretty. I love this time of year.

And this is what we woke up to this morning. Snow, and a lot of it! It is my favorite kind of snow though. It comes and then it goes. It doesn't stay around forever. Anyway, winter is here. It's official!

Here are Kade and Aaron watching the snow fall out our bedroom window. I thought they looked cute.

I Voted

We "I VOTED" yesterday. That's right. We're awesome.

Apple Sauce....Tere This is For You!

My cousin Teresa says she doesn't know how to can. In my canning experience (which isn't a lot, but a decent amount) apple sauce is one of the easiest. Grape juice is the very easiest, but apple sauce is close. So for you Tere, I am going to post step by step directions so you are able to can your own! Usually I make it with my cousin Lisa, but she didn't have a lot of time this year. She is the one that taught me how to do it. Ok so here you go...

First buy apples....

Second: Quarter your apples....

Third: Boil your apples until they are soft, you can tell because the skin kind of comes off...

Fourth: Drain the apples...

Fifth: Mash the apples. (This is a tricky step if you don't have the machine. If you don't have it, you need to peel and core your apples before you do this. The machine I have filters out the "guts". If you don't have it, you can probably just do it in the blender or a food processor.)

These are the guts....

See Lisa this is what happens when you aren't making applesauce with me!

It's kind of gross looking in this picture. It makes it look like fat or something. But I promise it tastes delicious.

Once you are done mashing, add a little of this and a little of that, to taste....

Cinnamon and Sugar

This is the finished product, once they are in the jars, put them in a water bath canner for something like 30 min? For more information on that, just email me....

Aaron enjoying the tasty treat!

Happy Halloween..

Our Halloween was fun but so busy! On the 30th I was up until 3 in the morning (so I guess on the 31st), so I could finish making Kade's costume. Because of this I had a very difficult time getting out of bed. We had to get up early though because Aaron's costume had yet to be decided upon... We had decided to be Mario and Luigi, but then our plans were foiled when we couldn't find overalls for Aaron. So we got up as early as we could manage. We went to a costume store and we decided Aaron would be Michael Jackson. Let me tell you, it was amazing. I will be the first to admit that he wasn't a clone of MJ but the costume was incredible! So we got the hair, the hat, and the glove, then we ran to DI to get the pants and jacket, then we ran again (not literally, but we were trying to hurry!) to a fabric store so I could buy the necesseties to finish the MJ transformation. We finally got home and I had like an hour before we needed to go so that we could get to my aunts house and Aaron's job interview....

I hurried my fastest, finished Aaron's costume, and we took a few pictures of Kade in his costume before we left. We got to all the places we needed. We also went to Target to get some sun glasses just to complete Aaron's comstume. We went into Target, all in our costumes, and I had a hard time standing up because I was laughing at Aaron so much! It was hilarious. He kept doing signature Michael Jackson moves as well, which didn't make it any easier on me. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. There were tears....

Finally after Aaron's job interview (yes he got the job! hooray!) we headed to Eagle Mountain to Colin and Sarah's house for some trick-or-treating with the children, and yes we took our 6 mo old trick-or-treating. No he can't eat candy yet, and yes we will be eating it for him!!!

P.S. on Halloween, never take Main Street in Lehi to Eagle Mountain. It took us 2 hours to get to Eagle Mountain, it is usually a 30-40 min drive, yesterday it took us 2 hours!

We finally got there ate some pizza, hit some houses, and then Kade was exhausted and hungry so we left so we could put him in bed. When we got in the car we gave him a bottle, which he ate quickly and then fell asleep. Yay! We then decided to stop by Erin and Chris' quickly because they were having a halloween party that we had been invited to, and Kade was asleep so we wouldn't have to deal with an unhappy child.

We went to Erin and Chris' for a little bit, Kade woke up, so we got a picture with Kade and Ryan. It was pretty cute, except it looks like Kade is eating Ryan's arm, and Ryan is crying. It's hilarious. I love it. We didn't stay for very long at either house but we had fun. When we got home I finally got to sit and relax. What a day!
