Halloween partay

Our church had a Halloween party and Brian was in charge of the 'donut on a string' game. As you can see, he had more fun than Cameron when his turn came! Cameron didn't care though, he laughed the whole way through and got a donut in the end...everyone wins!

8 is GREAT!!!!

Lindsay had a Bday and turned the BIG 8!!!! she had a great time at chucky cheese (why do they like that place so much???) With a few friends and of course the highlight of turning 8 is that she was able to be baptized by her dad on Halloween! Her birthday was lots of fun and she made it through the whole day with smiles (which is rare!) and her baptism was a really special day although she woke up that morning with a fever and couldn't go trick or treating later. I can't believe she in now 'accountable' and growing so fast!!! She is a fun and responsible big sis and we all love her so much!

Alyssa knows Chinese!

warning....infomercial

Everytime I'd see this infomercial for the Touch 'N Brush all I could think was.....BRILLIANT!!!!! I have the problem of kids spreading their toothpaste from one side of the sink to the other. The other day while at Target I found the 'as seen on TV' section. Thinking to myself, " if they had that toothpaste one I'd buy it!!" Low and behold, there it was, and I couldn't resist! This thing does two great jobs: 1) NO MORE MESS and 2) the kids think it's super FUN to brush their teeth!

How dreamy of a product is that, and all for the small price of $19.99!

Popcorn...but better!

I need a new post on this baby. So I'll talk all about the yummy caramel popcorn I made the other night. The recipe is soooooo easy and from one of my new fave blogs I even became facebook friends with the two gals that run the blog cuz I think they are so witty and clever. The recipe has only three ingredients....well four, if you count the popcorn, but it's ALL done in the microwave and can be made in minutes!

That's my kind of treat!

Autism Carnival

Every year Sahara Construction has a free Carnival for Autistic kids and their families. My kids look forward to it every year and have such a GREAT time playing games, jumping in the bouncy houses, eating lots of food, and the "best" part is coming home with lots of plastic little prizes for them to scatter all over the house. There are always lots of tables set up from groups in the Salt Lake area that offer services and great info for autism. It really is a great service Sahara does for these kids and there families - to provide a fun day with no judgements from ANYONE about your "difficult" child.

The Power of Communication

Although Natalie can only say a handful of words, she can sign many. Here is a sample of a few. It's amazing the things she can tell me without saying anything at all.

So my husbands sister, aka my sister-in-law, is quite the talented one and has a great blog for those trying to get tips here and there on this and that.

Drum Roll Please!!!!!!

Making her debut appearance on the Fordever Family blog

FORD BABY #5!!!!!

I love that you can even see her little hand up next to her face. Unfortunately for her, It looks as if she may have inherited my nose. All my other kids have gotten their daddy's nose, hers might change....She's still got a few more months to cook! Isn't it amazing that at just 24 weeks along she's already a little person with every part she needs?!
