 We had a Taiwaneese archery do demonstrations several times through out they day on an ancient Mongolian archery technique over 600 years old. He hand made all these bows as well.

 Kennedy got to help out in the 'office' and she loved it

Halloween 2016

Kennedy had to take her costume to school and they got to wear it the second half of the day.. When she got home we ran to my work. She got a pair of vampire teeth and had to eat a Reeses with them in on the way home...

 I had such a hard time finding a costume that wasnt all slutty for her. I was so surprised. Plus um people we live in Utah it snows 90% of the time on Halloween. Well this year proved me wrong it was pretty warm. We got her a Vet costume. She loved it especially since its one of the jobs she wants when she grows up.

 We went to the Willard Trunk or Treat. Parker, Macee and Koree joined us

 Kendalle, Kennedys older sister came and went with her. She thought it was awesome.

 We were front of the line. We've learned to get there early and get it done haha. It wrapped clear around the church!

 Kennedy braved the haunted house this year 

We were so excited to be done early.. go home.. have some soup and bread.. and then we remembered we needed to go to a few houses in town. 3 hours later we made it back home .

The boys Octoberfest

Chris and Todd wanted another 'Octoberfest' this year for their birthdays. We had another big shop party only did it potluck style. We made smoked pork sandwiches and ribs. We had everyone bring a side. It turned out really good!

 and of course cake and singing to them!

 Then it turned into dance fest. Chris's cousin Morgan got stuck having to dance with him haha

 Kennedy volunteered to dance with daddy too

 Then Todd had to step in and show Morgan how you were really supposed to swing dance.

 Thats when the party went down hill!

Emily is a super good dancer but is really really shy too. Chris adores the Oki girls and its his goal to bring poor Emily out of her shell. So he insisted on having her dance with him. Finally he convinced her to show her dance moves and she tried to teach him some.

Her trying to show him how to 'dab'

 and then 'whip and nae nae'

We were all pretty much peeing our pants from laughing so hard. My poor husband is so lanky it really can inhibit his dance moves lol!!

It was a great turn out and we so appreciated everyone coming!

Yes we are alive..

I know Ive been slacking on blogging lately. Does anyone even read this anymore!???

We went to the OFD open house.. mostly because I was getting off work as it was starting, Chris and K were already in Ogden and Dad was the BC. It was actually pretty good! They had some fun kids stuff to do, K got to put on a Hazmat suit (cut in half) and decon. She thought it was so cool.

 She really didnt want to brush she wanted to spray water. You can tell by the look on her face how happy she was when he let her. 

 We also had the annual pumpkin decorating/carving day at Todd and Janas. 

 Rue decided she needed more veggies in her diet so she ate a zuccini

 We also have been letting her in the house some. She likes to hang out

 and kids archery has started back up! 

 Kennedy was out of school and Chris was off work. They had a Daddy Daughter Duck hunt day. They spent the morning out in the marsh together. Her waders have gotten a little small so he took her to Cabelas (one of her favorite stores) so he could buy her new waders. Then they went out to lunch. She though it was the best day ever. That evening of course we had to go out and try her new waders.

 I had my elk from this year mounted. I was really excited with how it turned out. I worked so hard to get this. It represents 3 years of very very hard work. 3 years of empty elk tags. My first elk with a bow and so many great memories.

 I also made a necklace and ring holder for our room

Thats really what weve been up to lately! Mostly working working working!
