Preschool Thanksgiving

 Today we had our Thanksgiving parties and feast at preschool.  It is always a busy fun day.  I guess I had a party yesterday as well.  So one day we did Indians with one class and today we did pilgrims with the other class.  Both days= a lot of work but fun times.  I love how adorable Lexie is in her hats :) 

 My pre-k class.

 My cutie indian girl.

 Jake had this indian get-up from school so we took an indian and pilgrim picture :)

 This is a tiny portion of my 3 year old class.  I had 2 sick and one out of town that day and it made for a tiny quiet day at preschool.  

I just love love this indian boy and pilgrim girl!  So so cute.

BYU basketball

 Our pass of all passes gets up into a handful of BYU basketball games, so we are taking full advantage!  We had a lot of fun at the game and even got to hang out with some friends!  Couldn't be better!  The best part is that Lexie learned the BYU cheers and has been chanting her cheers around here.  Raw, raw, raw, raw, raw. Raw, raw, raw, raw, raw, GOOOOOO Cougars!  Hands actions and all!  We think it is pretty cute.  After she does the cheer then Jake makes the cougar sound.  Such a good team!

 Super fun!

Isaac also had his first Court of Honor last week and he earned his Tenderfoot and 2nd Class badges.  He is really close to earning his first class and we are super proud of his hard work!  He even got to go camping in the snow to get this far!  Lucky guy!

Ice Skating :)

 I am kind of ashamed to say that these pictures are from fall break back in October.  I took the kids ice skating one day and we had a TON of fun.  All 4 of them really like to ice skate.  I really don't have any pictures of Isaac and Max because they are too fast and I can't get a picture of them.  Max would love to be a speed skater and I even looked into getting him into lessons but they only lessons offered are in Salt Lake.  Not really doable right now.  But he loves it and the rest of them really enjoy it as well.

 Jake and Lexie started out with these skater walkers and they were a lifesaver!  Literally.  Because honestly I am not overly stable on my skates so trying to hold on to two little kiddos and stay up myself is quite the deal.  So these were awesome.  They both took right off and skated like crazy.  

 AFter not to long Jake ditched his walker and was good to go on his own!  You can see him in the middle of this picture close to the top and he is just dogging people and skating like crazy.  

Lexie wanted to ditch the walker but I didn't let her because honestly I really needed it a little bit!  What a super duper fun afternoon we had skating!

Halloween 2013

 Happy Halloween!  Halloween in my neighborhood is completely  nuts, but we love it!  There are at least a million kids and they are racing from house to house.  It is pure entertainment!  

  Our older 2 boys took off with friends around the neighborhood on their own this year and they had a great time~!  We just had the two little ones and they were fast and furious this year!  Jake and his friends were lightening speed down each street.  Lexie was pretty quick too but stayed with the group! 

 In the morning Lexie was supergirl... I though we were good for the day... boy was I wrong!  Apparently you can't be the same thing all day!  She had a total drama queen moment right before we headed out the door.  She was crying and saying, "I can't wear this supergirl again, I need to be something else, people have already seen me in this today!!"  Really, really????  She is 3!  So we were a bumble bee in the evening although because she figured out that she couldn't actually "lift-off" if she wore wings, she decided she didn't need that accessory!  Oh goodness....

 Little cuties!

 My little cute Halloween kiddos!

 Some of the kids we trick or treated with :)

 Lexie was in heaven all night.  That girl has more personality and life in her than I can even shake a stick at!  

 Jake the Hulk!

 Max the bull rider :)

 Lexie and her chocolate!

 Isaac the baseball player!

 I ran into Max one time out there and snapped a quick picture!

 Lexie the bumble bee and the super girl!

Our Halloween get-ups!  We had a happy Halloween!  After we trick-or treated we went to some friends house and the kids watched a movie on the side of a house while the grown-ups played and chatted around the fire and ate!  Always a super fun night around here!

Halloween School Parades

 These are some pictures from all 3 of the boys Halloween parades.  Max's class was out first.  He makes one handsome bull riding cowboy for halloween!  His best friend is right behind him and he is a rodeo clown!  Crazy kids!

 Here is Jake in the parade as well.  He is the green hulk!  And trust me I wasn't sad to see this costume go because his brain transforms into believing that he is the Hulk when he wears it!  He goes mad trying to punch and be tough!  Ugh..

 Isaac's class up next..

 He is a handsome Brewers baseball player!

 Jake some more :)  I do  know one thing for sure - this is one super duper handsome Hulk!

 

And there you have it folks!!  The 2013 Elementary School Halloween Parade with 3 insanely handsome Murray boys!
