EDDIE BOYS THANKSGIVING HUNT

Cam and I took the boys pheasant hunting the day after Thanksgiving. We all had a good time. Cam shot 2 and I shot 1. The best part of the hunt was the 15-20 minuite sneak the boys put on 2 sharptail grouse that were sitting in a tree (as seen in the last picture). Easton hit one, but the power of the old red ryder couldn't bring down the grouse. The boys love to go bird hunting!

Pesky Teeth

Those 2 pesky teeth final came through. That makes for a much happier baby!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The kids were not so into it this year or maybe it was Mom. This is not my favorite holiday. So Peyton was a Strawberry, Mom was Strawberry Shortcake, Easton was an army man, and Cannon was Dash some of the time. He was not diggin the costume or at least the mask. The kids weren't much into trick or treating either so we just went around the neighborhood got about 20 pieces and they were happy. I was happy we didn't have to trick or treat all night. I have a feeling those days will be coming in the next couple of years. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

MEET THE KLEPTO

Yep, that's him our little kleptomaniac. So Cannon has this little problem, he likes to swipe things that are not his. The last week that has been Derek's phone. Derek lost his phone while hunting and ever since he got this new one Cannon has decided that he wants it. One day the neighbor called and asked if I new that Cannon had Derek's phone, nope he swiped it. Then came the spanking, lecture, and the okay Dad. Next day Derek gave the phone to Peyton to play with. Cannon went and got one of her toys and exchanged it for the phone and headed down to the neighbors with it. Saturday the boys head to Lowes to do a project, oh wait here comes Grandma back in the house with Derek's phone. Cannon had stuck it in a sock and then shoved it in his pocket. Are you kidding me? What are we going to have to do to get it through his head?
So the latest.........
So this afternoon Cannon brings me this and says,"Mom will you open this for me?" I ask him where he got it and he says he doesn't know. I say WHERE DID YOU GET IT? From the store. Derek had taken him to the store earlier in the day. I called Derek and asked him if he had bought Cannon the sucker. Nope he swiped it. Derek said that Cannon wanted it but Derek had told him to put it back. Cannon said he was hiding it from Dad all day until he went to work. So I packed him up in the car along with all of his money that he has been saving and headed back to Autozone. We took it in and Cannon had to pay for it with his OWN money. Not my proudest Mother moment. So now I hope he understands me when I tell him that the next time he does that the Cops will come and get him. I kindly asked the guy behind the counter to tell him that too. Hopefully he learned his lesson and I don't have to find a Cop to come and visit our house :)

THE BIG PUMPKIN

Grandma and Grandpa took us to the pumpkin patch last Saturday. We went through the corn maze, played games, got the boys faces painted and then the pumpkin patch. We took the wagon and saw and headed out into the patch of course Easton had to have the biggest pumpkin he could find and Cannon's wasn't much smaller. When we got up to weigh it Easton said he thought it would weigh 30 lbs the guy working said he bet it was more like 40. So...........47lb. $11.75 for one pumpkin. Good thing he has the best Grandma in the world who is willing to pay that for a pumpkin because his Mom sure isn't! :) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the fun and expensive day!

They all turned out super cute. Here a some of my favorites. I have lots more but you know I couldn't post them all :) Thanks Bobbi they are AWESOME!!!!

PUMPKIN PATCH

After conference on Sunday we headed out to Grandpa Bell and Grandma Sherry's. We have been waiting several months for this. The pumpkins were ready. The kids had been out several weeks ago and staked claims on them but they were not quite ready. So here they are. Thanks Grandma Sherry for growing us some monsters!

6 MONTHS

So I am six months now. Just went to the Dr. and I was 17 pounds 15 ounces and 27 1/4 inches long. They are always calling me a chunky monkey. I don't know what that means but it must mean cute. They are trying to make my sleep in my own room. It is clear across the house. What are they thinking? I just scream really loud at the top of my lungs and eventually they come and pick me up. He He I kind of have them figured out. They keep giving me this really good food. I gobble it up and get so mad when I am done. I just want to eat and eat and eat. I love my brothers expecially Easton. He makes me laugh so hard. He is really funny. He snorts and me and I snort back. He growls and me and I growl back. What a fun game. They say I am just getting big and being a happy baby. I can roll across the room to get what I want and can sit up and play with my toys. I am just loving being the PRINCESS!!!

Labor Day Eddie Family Reunion

Okay so a little late. I wanted to post the first day of school first but those pictures are on the internal memory of my camera and I can't find the cord to get them off. So here are some pictures of Labor Day. It was alot of fun! We played games, shot guns, played Minute to Win It, and just had a great time. Cannon had a bad day Saturday hurting himself and his brother hit a ball at his nose giving him the worst bloody nose I have ever seen.
