Pumpkin Carving!!
We carved pumpkins for family home evening on monday. I'm a little slow at getting the pictures on here. The kids had a blast, and actually did really good at poking the holes and carving themselves this year. Cole loved reaching his hand in and getting the gunk out, but he was also very good at putting it back in behind my back the silly little boy. And look at me all Susie homemaker like wearing a apron.




Jocelyn's preschool also did a family night. We had Chili with Fry Bread, and them carved more pumpkins. I was tempted not to take any since we had carved some two days before and spent$16 on some already, but I couldn't disappoint my kiddos. So we went to Wally world and purchased these cute tiny ones for .87$ a pound. I think the most I spent on one was $1.50. They loved them and it was a fun night out.

A Few Tid-bits, and Smorgasbord of Posts
Scroll down to view my smorgasbord of posts. There are quite a few!!!
And now for a few tid-bits.
*Kaden was jumping on the couch the other day and rough housing, and whacked his head. After a quick trip to the E.R. he now has a very expensive super glue holding a gash together on the back of his head. I didn't get any pictures of it. Sorry for all you interested in seeing it.(at least it was just glue and not staples, like Kennedy had last year)
*Today was the kids last soccer game. WooHoo!!!!!!!
*Cole has a nasty cold, and is a cranky little boy!!!!
*Now for the best part of my day!!! I have heard many stories pertaining to the one I'm about to tell ya, but in the 8 years living here, it's never happened, or I've never been a recipient of it. If a truck gets in a wreck , and the merchandise spills out they can not sale the stuff. I've heard cheese and produce stories like this. Well, apparently a truck wrecked on I-40 and it was full of chuck roasts. Well, when this happens they can no longer sale the babies. So we were the recipients of some roasts. Not just any roasts, but this babies!!!!! FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The pictures really don't do much justice. They are huge and boneless!! And they filled my deep freezer! Has anyone seen them this big??? We got 9, of them and will be giving some to the families that Cris home teaches. So don't worry mom, and dad, I will have plenty of room for the meat you will be bringing me in a few weeks. I think that for the few we will be keeping, I will thaw them out, cut them up, and vacuum seal them. I think I can get 4-5 good sized roasts out of each big one. Yummy!! Does anyone have any good recipes that use roast that I can have, besides the basic crock-pot, or oven recipe? I bet ya can't guess what's for dinner and the Moss house tomorrow!!!!

This Ones For You, Maria!!
I ran a Breast Cancer awareness 10k today. It was pretty fun, and not many people ran it, most walked, and you could even ride a bike. I came in 4th place(I personally say 3rd, cause I really don't think the girl on the bike that came in 1st should count. :) I think I did pretty good. I did get a head start on a few people, cause they really didn't do a start, they just said, ok, you can go now. I had a guy pass me around mile 2 and Kim Henling zoomed past me around mile 31/2-4.(you go girl!!!) All, in all I had a good time especially for doing it alone.
We've been thinking of you Maria, and I hope your doing well, please let me know if I can do anything for you guys, even though we are 800 miles away!!! Love ya!!!!
Bare in mind that this picture was taken after the run, I don't sweat, I just turn bright red, and stay that way for a good hour or so. And my shirt was two sizes to big, maybe next year they will get some smalls, or mediums. I had to totally tuck that baby in. :)

WHS, W.H.S.!!!!!
Kennedy did a cheer clinic this week. She had alot of fun, and then cheered in the home football game Friday night. Watching her brought back the many memories of going to the games high school, and good ol' Rigby High. And don't those colors look familiar to anyone?
Mother Daughter Date
Kennedy and Jocelyn were dieing to watch HSM3. So on Friday I was the cool mom for about 4 hours. I was so cool that the kids got out of school early. We drove to Flagstaff went out for lunch, went to Target and got HSM shirts, and then went to watch the movie. We had such a fun time, and the girls loved it. Next time it's the boys turn to go have some fun.
Here are my girls before going into the theatre.

School Pictures
The kids got their school pictures back. I love the way Jocelyn's turned out!! They used a friend of mine that's from here in town to take them. She does such a awesome job!! If you remember a while back, Jocelyn had a black eye, well it just happened to be right around picture day. Shannon edited it out for me. Doesn't she look so cute!!!

Here is Kadens picture. I'm tempted to do retakes. I hate how there is a glare on his glasses, you can't even see his eyes, and I wish he was smiling more.

Here is Kennedy's I think it turned out ok. I really like how her blonde hair pops on her black shirt, and the dark back ground.

To tell the truth, I really can't stand life touch!! The prices are sky high, and you don't get many pictures. I really wish the school would have used Shannon to do their pictures too. If anyone in our area is looking for someone to take family pictures, she does such a good job, and her prices are unbeatable!!! You can check out here web site here....www.hidesertphotography.com (if you look hard enough you might even find us on her site, in the family, or kids sections. :)
I'm hoping to have her take some pictures of our family in the near future!!
