Space Derby

Bryson had his cub scout space derby today and had a wonderful time.

 The green hornet!

 Bryson launching his rocket

 Bryson came in 2nd place but was "disqualified" cus he pushed his rocket - however they never showed or told the boys what they could or could not do. Oh well... he still won to me and had a great rocket!

Train Show at Fair Grounds

Train shows are always top on the boy's list of things to do - I would love to get them involved with a model train.. .but where would I put it? Until then we will enjoy someone elses hard work and effort to their hobby, that's easier anyway :)

 



 This was a coal mine and had amazing detail

 LEGO TRAINS... Stop the press I can do this one :) Bryson loved this.

 Amazing detail with a block of plastic

 Cars land and the boys loved this conveyor at the end

This one wrapped around forever and seemed to go through all areas of Utah and had amazing detail, so many small hidden items

 What? I didn't do anything...

Can you spy Weston and I?

Cow Milking at Thanksgiving Point

During off track time we went down to Thanksgiving Point to participate in the daily cow milking... I love how the farm is hardly ever crowded and on weekdays it's all but empty so it's a perfect family outing. 

 Here comes Mille

 Preston milking the cow

 Bryson taking a turn

 Weston also got in and tried.

 So fun to experience this with them, Darren always talks about his summers on his grandparents Idaho farm and I hope these small experiences help the boys understand what their Dad is talking about.

Halloween

HALLOWEEN!!! It's finally here. Preston has been dying to put his Ninja costume on since we got it three weeks ago! I enjoy this holiday, I like watch my boys dress up and pretend to be whomever they want to be. I love seeing other children. I love when the weather is good like this year was and we can stay out late with a fire on the drive-way. I love making sure all our candy was given out. so much fun for our family!

 

When you live in a younger neighborhood you will go through an entire garbage bag of candy!

We decided to put the outdoor movie screen up this year to watch Monsters Inc. Seemed to have been a good success that we will make a tradition.

The boys all ready to go out, giving Mom a 5 second photo opp

Weston made such a cute Batman!

Preston and his Blue Ninja skills... he would have worn it everyday!

Bryson went with baseball which always makes Mom and Dad happy

TRICK - O - TREAT!!!!! Weston really got into it this year, it was so fun to see him understand and love this holiday.
