Can't...bring...myself...to...blog...

I have some major catching up to do, but as Gavin would say, "I am A---Z-O-S-S-T-E-D!"
So, I think I'll sum things up with a few pics...

Jenna does mom's hair...again...make that everyday!
This is her new "favorite" thing to do--and it kinda hurts! Although, she has enhanced the experience with free body decor.
DAD HAS A BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!

Gavin and Kesley BOTH earn "The Citizenship Award!"
I couldn't ask for better kids. Both these guys are just GOOD kids! Gavin recently befriended a little girl at recess who was sitting all alone and looking very sad. He asked her if she wanted to be his friend and they went and ran laps around the playground together! LOVE these guys!
Carving pumpkins with Bonnie!

Thank you Bonnie for making it a fun night, and thank you Brent for the face--always a thrill to see another picture RUINED!

Halloween!...4 days in a row!
Halloween felt more like Halloween week. Jenna had to dress up Wednesday for preschool, the kids dressed up Thursday for school because there was no school on Friday, but Friday we had our ward dinner and trunk-or-treat so we had to dress up anyway. By Saturday, everyone was so sick of doing makeup and dressing up, I really had to push them to get ready for the REAL Halloween! We had a GREAT day starting with breakfast at Grandpa's (YUMMY), cookie decorating at Ambers (Double Yummy) and then dinner and trick-or-treating at Tami's! Here is a picture Amber took in her studio of all the kids--SO FUN!


And to "round" out my update...

BIGGEST LOOSER CHALLENGE!!! No need to ask, "why?"

Tami saved us all by starting a Biggest Looser Challenge. It started November 1 and runs through January. We are taking a trip to Vegas the first week of February and the winner of the contest gets a NEW OUTFIT and a NICE dinner! Kesley was nice enough to take this shot of my behind and, well, why I am sharing it?...MOTIVATION!

Oh Maria...you crack me up! Great catch up post. I need to get re-motivated as well. My knees are feeling better, but the rest of me doesn't like the cold. What to do...what to do...

My daughter Aubrey likes to do my hair too, she rarely lets me do hers, except for school.
Oh, and I like Brent's funny face! Good luck on the Biggest Loser.
