A home alone christmas!

I just can't keep up with blogging lately! Christmas was a

pretty busy time for us this year. BJ was working at Duck Creek

helping Garkane for 2 1/2 weeks right during christmas and new

years. We were lucky enough to see him Christmas day and

New years Day, but other than that me and the kids were

home alone. This is going to be a pretty short post, because

I have a couple more to do. Hope everyone had a merry

christmas and happy new year!

Where did the month of October go? Halloween came and went so

fast I barely had enough time think about Calista's birthday! So

this post is Halloween and Calista's birthday.

She turns 4 today, but we had a party for her yesterday. I know

she's 4 and getting so big, but she is still my baby! (until April) :)

All she wanted for her birthday was a pillow pet and a bike so

since thats what she got she was happy! Yay!

Playing with Carson pretending to be doctors with her new

doctor kit

We saved her bike for today so she would have a present on

her actual birthday. She knew she had one more present so

all through church she kept asking "can I have my present

yet?" She finally got it!

For Halloween Tag was a mummy, Zander was a Phantom,

and Calista was Snow White.


Oo0h Scary!

Such a Princess!

Every year we go to BJ's Dads in Apple Valley the monday

before Halloween with all the siblings and grandkids to

carve pumpkins, play games, and eat yummy food! The

kids always have so much fun. Grandma Brown always has

a witches brew with prizes, and bobbing for apples. I forgot

my camera this year so no pics to show for it!

We had our ward trunk or treat Friday night and then

trick-or-treating on Saturday. We went to Hurricane to

Roberts Ranch again this year! We always have so much fun!

Calista carved this pumpkin all by herself! (shhh)

making it even

So, I'm not posting any pics yet, but I guess its okay to
officially announce baby # 4! I can't believe it myself,
since we were done after Calista. We even got rid of
all of our baby stuff about a year and a half ago!
I'm 13 weeks, officially out of my first trimester (YAY!)
and due on April 18th. Here's to another adventure!

Preschool!!

Calista started preschool on Wednesday! I can't believe my baby

girl is in school! It kind of makes me feel old!! She has been

bugging me about it since the boys started school a month ago.

She was so excited to finally be able to go! Its kind of nice to have

a couple of hours all by myself, but it was hard to see her go.

She gets to go with one of her best friends so I'm glad she knows

somebody and she will always have someone to play with.

Bye bye summer

This summer sure did fly by! We didn't do anything super exciting,

but we still had a great couple of months! The kids started school

today and I know in the past I have been a little emotional, but not

this year! I was so excited to have both my boys be all day school!

Zander started 2nd and Tag started 1st. I think the older they get,

the more you get used to them being at school so its not such a big

deal when they start anymore. Although I think when I bring to

preschool for the first time it might be a little sad to see her go!

we'll see! They were way excited to go back too! I hope they have

a great first day!!

We took a few pics before school

Zander and Tag best buds!

They couldn't leave sadie out!
Calista doesnt start preschool until

next month, but she had her backpack

on and her new boots and wasn't to

happy about not getting to go to school

today too!

The weekend before school started we had my annual Hunt family

reunion on the Kaibab. I of course forgot to take hardly any

pictures so when I did remember I got Calista and Tag going down

the zip line then my batteries in my camera died, so I didnt get

Zander! They had so much fun with this zip line! Thanks Uncle

Kenny for bringing it!!

We also were in Kanab for the 24th, so we took the kids to the

parade and then swimming at my brothers. It was so nice that

weekend, not to hot!

This float was my favorite, the people were

painted to look like statues! they did such a

good job holding still too!

Calista and Grandma waiting for homemade

icecream! (really yummy!)





Tag and his load of candy in his shirt!
I think he's pretty happy about it!

sunglasses Grandma got them!
SO CUTE!

Tag turns 6!!

I just posted for the 4th and our fish lake camping trip, but Tag

just celebrated his 6th birthday so I thought he deserved his

own post. He didn't really care what we did this year, except

he definitely wanted to go swimming. We figured thats easy,

we'll just BBQ after with cake and Ice cream. So we took him

and a couple of his friends swimming at the rec center. My

sister, her family and my best friend Annie and her kids came

over for the BBQ. We had a great time!

Tag is really into Iron man, but he insisted on having a

spongebob cake. I guess I should be grateful, because at least he

is square! So he got lots of Iron man toys, but had his spongebob

cake too! He is such a sweet boy and he is so grateful too! He

kept saying thank you, thank you for everything all day. We are

so glad he is part of our family! We love him very much! Tag and his best friend Kaden

All the boys!

(L to R) Zander, Colton, Tag, and Kaden





The Cake!
I was pretty happy with how it
turned out. Tag loved it, so thats
all that matters!

fish lake & the 4th

AAAH!! looks like I've gotten behind again! I just can't seem to

keep up this summer! Well lets see on June 24th BJ and I

celebrated our 10 year anniversary, which is just bananas! I am

so lucky to have such a great husband and best friend! We also

spent that weekend camping at fish lake with Cyndi and her fam.

We had a blast as usual, it was a great weekend! For the 4th we

stayed in town, we decided to beat the heat and took the kids to a

movie. Then later we had a BBQ and BJ's sister house and did

fireworks. The kids love doing sparklers and watching the

fireworks, its one of my favorite holidays, just to watch them

having so much fun!

Who do you think is in charge here?

There are quite a few pics of these two

adorable little girls. There were to many

to choose from and they played so well all

weekend that I couldn't help but take lots

of pictures.

So dirty!!





Don't ask!!







do you think the sun was a little bright?
