1st Grade Field Trip

Wesley's class went on their first field trip last week to a local corn maze and farm. My friend, Steph and I took our little girls and to keep an eye on our boys! Wes was so excited to ride the school bus. For some reason our school district thinks it's our responsibility to drive our kids to school or let them walk, as young as they are, and hope that nothing happens to them. As there are no lights or crossing guards or any safety measures at any intersections for the 2+ mile distance.

Anyway, I think Brooke had as much fun as Wes did here. She played with her two idols, Taylor and Kinzie. She loves these two girls and wants to be just like them.
Taylor finally got Brooke to go through this corn tunnel. She was a bit nervous at first and then we couldn't get her out of it. When she saw me, she screamed and ran the other direction.


This slide is HUGE! Underneath the white plastic is all bails of hay and a board to stabilize it. Wes had so much fun playing on here. The only problem was waiting their turn! They were only allowed one at a time.

Isn't he handsome?


This is a little maze they could run around. Brooke spent about 30 minutes in it throughout the day. She would run in and on and jump from one bail to the next. She's in the background in the brown coat. Wes was having fun jumping along the tops and racing his friends.


We took a hayride, it was very slow and went in a big circle. Not exciting at all. The little girl behind Brooke is Kinzie. When we brush Brooke's hair in the morning or after a bath she asks if her hair is like Kinzie's or Taylor's!


Now Brooke is having her turn next to Taylor. Like I said, the ride was really slow.


Did you all know that Wes has a brother? Well if you didn't it was a secret. And here he is, Karson! They call themselves "Secret Brothers".

We also went into a really big pumpkin patch that looked haunted, it was dying and gross. There were tall sunflowers that were growing in there too and they were falling over. The kids got to pick their own pumpkins. Wes's is small enough to fit into his pants pocket. Brooke's is bigger. Mine is part green part orange.

BYU Volleyball Game or was it UTAH?

On Friday the kids and I went to the BYU/Utah girls volleyball game to watch Sarah Hibbert play. Ya, ya, we sat in the Utah section. Get over it. That's what we'll do for a fellow "Alaska Grown". Sarah and Emily (my sister) have been great friends growing up and it was so much fun to see the entire Hibbert family down here! Thanks "Friends of DeArmoun" for letting Kim go for awhile, it was much appreciated.



Emily and Wes. When Wes found out Sarah plays for Utah, he gave me a very strange look, like I had just completely duped him! But then he told me he would secretly cheer for her. Such a sweet boy.



I love my toothless sweetie. He's missing 5 teeth!


THANK YOU ANDY! He gave me about a 2 minute break from Brooke's craziness. Hang on, what is this with your red and blue shirts?


What the heck? What picture is this that I found on my camera? Good one Em! By the way, Sarah kicked BYU.

Check Out the Tongue

Dave had Roxy out running in the back yard and when she came in I was laughing so hard! Check out her tongue. She has always had a huge/long tongue and we thought she would somehow grow into it, apparently she hasn't. She didn't like the flash on my phone.
