The Property

Boone's family has property up Echo Canyon that we like to go visit. The boys have a great time looking for deer, elk or moose, watching for the trains that pass by, shooting the guns and tormenting "Sagie Girl" the dog.

Carving Pumpkins

We had a great time carving pumpkins. The weather was great. TJ actually put his hands in the pumpkin this year to help clean it out. The only accident we had was when Maranda decided to drop the knif on her toe. Thank goodness for band-aids.

Halloween Costumes

This year for halloween the boys decided to be Jimmie Johnson & Jeff Gordon. Jeff Gordon was the runner up costume for TJ because I could not find a Speed Racer costume his size. I thought they looked great. When we tried the costumes on for the first time they both were wanting to sleep in the costumes. So I took that as a good sign.

Jayden's Halloween Program

Jayden's preschool put on a Halloween program for us. The did a little skit and sung Halloween songs. It was so much fun to watch. Jayden loves to sing so needless to say he did a great job.

Pumpkins at Grandma's & Grandpa's

This past spring TJ & Jayden helped their grandma & grandpa plant pumkins in their garden. Finally after many months of waiting and watching they got to pick out their favorite pumpkins. There were enough to go around so Maranda & Dallin got to pick pumpkins also.

Okay...so I have not posted anything forever and I apologize for that. Life is CRAZY right now but it should call down after Tuesday. So I am planning on updating my blog with lots of pictures and updates for the past month next week. So hold tight. I am also going to make my blog a private blog so if you would like to continue to read the blog let me know ASAP. You can e-mail me at deneilkirkman@yahoo.com.

Say Cheese....

One thing I would love to learn to do really good is take pictures. Hopefully one day I will get to do that but for now I have to do with the knowledge I have and the camera I have. So last Friday I took the kids up to the mountains to attempt to get some fun pictures of the the kids together. I got some good ones of the kids individually but the pictures of them all together...well not so good. I will keep trying and hopefully someday I will get a good one that we can put on the wall. So here is a sample of the pictures I was able to get.

Family Fun

For the past 2 months that the boys and I have lived in West Point the favorite activity for the boys is jumping on the trampoline. Itis the first thing they want to do in the morning and the last thing before they go to bed. Jayden suprised us all one day by doing a flip. Usually he has his hands down to help him flip over but every once in a while he actually does a flip. TJ loves to bounce everyone and do hand stands. Flips are not his thing yet but I am sure they will come sooner than later.



Dallin & I have been taking the Hunter Safety class and needed to practice shooting. So we pulled out the bb guns and started shooting. TJ & Jayden loved watching and actually tried shooting themselves. They hit the target with a little help from Boone.
