Chase Field

Chris' company threw a family night at the ball field the other day. It was pretty neat. How many people can say they got to throw a ball from the pitcher's mound at a professional ball field? The kids really had a blast. We were able to throw some balls around, run the bases, tour the stadium, and eat ball food (popcorn, hamburgers and hotdogs). They had the big screen going playing highlights of past games. They also had a place to practice your batting skills and see how fast you could throw. Drey loved being able to run around--he especially loved all the popcorn he was finding on the ground (yeah not fun for us). Jaxon also got a signed ball from previous world series champion Matt Williams.

The Children's Museum

I took the kids to the childrens museum the other day. I could hardly believe I was actually going to take them especially after our last museum experience. What made me really crazy was that I was going to take all three of them by myself, and again on free museum night. Chris was away on business, so he couldn't come. Luckily for us this was a better experience. We visited the children's art museum-so for one it was meant for children-second it was a lot bigger than the space museum and people weren't so packed in. The kids absolutely loved being there. Was it crazy for me? Yes. Will I take Chris next time I go? Yes. I really had a good time too, but I was a little stressed trying to keep all my kids close by. There were so many fun things for them to do...they were trying to go in every direction. It really was a neat place. The kids could create in the art room, climb in the fort room, build in the science room, climb a huge tree house, ride bikes, race cars, and get lost in the noodle jungle. I think the noodle jungle was one of Drey's favorite places there.

Spaghetti Face

We had spaghetti the other night. Dreyson thoroughly enjoyed it. Doesn't every kid need a picture like this? I think so.

Halloween

Halloween was as great as ever this year. I love that the weather is always perfect to be out and about. Jaxon was batman, Kenli was batgirl, and Drey was the joker for Halloween this year. Drey definitely was a little too cute to be the joker...but I guess he looked scary enough because Jaxon didn't want to be around him. Yeah we thought it was a good idea, but let me tell you the infants and face paint don't mix. Drey did not want to hold still- he kept smearing his makeup, and if he cried then it became a big mess. The kids had a blast trunk-or-treating at our ward party this year, and yes the got too much candy.
