Life's Constants

There are universal constants in the world.

The sun will rise in the East and set in the West.

What goes up must come down.

An empty box of crackers will always end up on the shelf in the pantry.

The empty toilet paper roll will never have a backup.

Along those same lines, there are constants in life.

Talmage will always stare at you patiently waiting to give you a smile.

Kirtlyn will always smile when her daddy looks at her.

Garrett will always ask for some form of sugar within 10 minutes of waking up.

Preston will always scratch his nose when putting thoughts together.

I will always leave a tissue in some article of clothing that will ultimately get little white fuzzies all over the laundry.

Matthew will always fall asleep while attempting to rock a baby to sleep.

But there is one thing I know for sure...

I will always love you.

10 years later...

Costume Day 2010!

Happy Halloween!!!

The boys were so excited to go Trick or Treating... but thanks to fall Utah County weather, the clouds rolled in, the thunder struck, the rains came down and the hail fell fast! The boys and Daddy had to wait under a neighbor's porch for at least a small break in the rain to make a run for it home. They came in soaked and the boys got to help me hand out candy for the rest of the evening. You got to love it when only a few houses is enough for them! Daddy got to sit and hold babies and watch game 3 of the World Series, go Giants!

Here are the people in my life who make me smile, glow, snicker, giggle and ultimately beam whenever I see them.

My Little Pumpkin Patch

BOO!!

My heroes (except for the evil Darth Sidius in the middle, he's spooky!)

Two little Jedi's who make me smile on a minute by minute basis.

Highlight: Beautifully made costumes by Grandma Field, love you!

Lowlight: Rain and hail made Trick or Treating last only 15 minutes (maybe that is a highlight)

Hope you all had a fantastic Halloween!!!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween!

What a fun week! The boys had their pre-school party and got to play Bingo, decorate cookies, create their own jack-o-lantern treat bags and read a few Halloween stories.

Mathew dressed up for his work party and apparently had a fun time driving down the street!

Friday we had our pumpkin carving night and had the Evans family over. What a blast! The boys got to dig out their pumpkins (eewww gross!) and decorate cookies.

Here are the fruits of our labor. Matthew did Darth Maul since that's what he dressed up as. The boys did different Jack Skellington faces (ok, Matthew did them) and I did an owl. Tons o' fun!

We had some fun Halloween activities leading up to the big day, hopefully tomorrow will be a fun day of Trick or Treating!!

To My Cycling Champion

I dedicate this post to my ever inspiring, aiming to do better, reaching higher, goal achieving, awesomeness off the charts, Tour de St. George racing hubby, Matthew.

This year, Mr. Awesome found a new hobby, which he has taken to so naturally and found a love in cycling. The reason for my high praise is since he started cycling only 4 months ago, last weekend he signed up for a 65 mile bike race in lovely St. George Utah, and due to Utah Construction Season, they added another 10 miles on top of that and he completed a 75 mile bike race. Along the race he was witness to a woman crashing over her handlebars, a man having a heart attack, pit stops running out of water, an extra 3 mile detour and due to another biker's mistake, ended in a crash after the finish line. With all that happened in the 4 and a half hours, my respect, love and awe for said Mr. Awesome just grew even more.

Love you sweetie.

Jordan, Matthew and Shane counting down!

Along the race route

And here they come!

After 75 miles, what an accomplishment!

I'm so proud of you sweetie, maybe next year I'll do it with you... wait, they have a 30 miler right???

Pumpkin Hunting

Today was the day! We packed up the kiddos and made our way to Pumpkin-land to hunt down the perfect one. We love our pumpkin carving tradition but all that has to start with the right pumpkin.

My sweet Garrett wanted the ones not for sale and couldn't understand...

"It's right here, why can't we get this one?"

Preston loves to be in charge of things,

so he was in charge of hauling away our stash.

The guardian of the pumpkins.

Daddy's pick, what's he going to do this year???

Apparently while we were out, our house has been taken over by ghosts! So please beware when you come to visit us, they are everywhere!!!

Did I not tell you? They're everywhere!!

Seems like we're on track for a spooky Halloween!

Family Vacation... finally

We actually left the house for a small family vacation after a very busy and yet not-so-busy 2010 year. In support of Matthew riding in the Tour de St. George, we packed up the Field troops and made our way down south to the land of sun, warmth and snow birds.

We enjoyed a day in the sun with cool drinks, warm sun and Kade showing us at what height a water balloon will pop. Kirsten learned it's at Kade's ear level, not shoulder height, just 3 inches above that.

My cute boys!

Lounging by the pool (Kirsten, I counted to 2, you couldn't look at the camera??)

Sweet Garrett

Cute Bryson

Do I get in?.... I think I can, I think I can

Aunt Kiki on baby duty

Aunt Becky too!

Oh, and cousin Hayden

I have the coolest nephews... or smoothest??

This little girl just makes me smile...

Car-car, you got to love him!!

Kasen kept using the water can to cool Matthew's feet while he was lounging in the sun (whether Uncle Matt asked him to or not)

Oh I love my fam!!!

(Pictures of the Tour de St. George to come as soon as my camera cord that I left in St. George comes in the mail)
