October Break

I really hope these videos turn out - but so far I've never had much luck with Blogger videos.

I think this one is the BEST. Makes me laugh my arse off. 

I just love these boys. Ice skating was so fun and I would definitely do it again. 

Who are these white trash kids? 

What mom lets her 4 year old have a wet tshirt contest?

or let her baby play in a splash pad with only a diaper on

seriously - you are related to a red neck, trailer court wanna be momma

This was our GNO (Girls Night Out) Jason was at a scout sleep over with James and I didn't feel like cooking dinner.

 So we went out to party. This was the night before we left for our FUN surprise Utah trip.

Paige consoling little toilet head after mommy yelled at her 

 poor little baby obsessed with all things disgusting

This is the baby that sticks her head in the toilet - on purpose 

Now this little baby would not smile for me! I tried and tried. No go for this one. Good thing she is dang cute or I'd spank her.

So Saturday we spend the entire day and part of the night driving to Utah - just me and my babes. We got in at 2 or 3 am. Who remembers? The best part was hearing dad's surprise from the kitchen the next morning. 'Your not supposed to.... HEY! What are you guys doing here?' 

Such a fun surprise - We went to see Hotel Transylvania and found an ice cream shop that's kindred.

Jason's mom is a Farr and her great uncle started the Farr Ice Cream co. in Utah in the early 1900's - I've seen a picture of Jason's grand dad with his 2 cousins in Utah on the first ice cream truck.
Ice Cream is in the Farr blood, here is grand dad years later working in AZ for an Ice Cream company. My kids have no hope with the Byrnes ice cream addiction on 1 side and the Farr ice cream blood on the other side... can you understand better why Paige looks so happy in this picture?

Another good time while in Utah was ice skating

I think we all took turns falling 

Some more then others - and Tommy, Jack & I got into a smack the butt war 

Good thing I can't keep up to save my life or the Doddridge boys would have sore bottoms... instead it was just me.

This is Future Hockey Star Doddridge

Paige, Avery & Molly Mae - skating all the day! 

Tommy throwing snow balls (little stinker)! 

Ethan skating by while Abbygale shoots out of the frame. Give her an old person walker and watch that girl skate! 

Bye Ethan. 

ice skating kids - Molly Mae, Avery, Paige, Tommy, Jackson, James, Aidan, Abby, William, Ethan 

This is my FAVORITE picture

 Halloween frenzy - the crazy little bumblebee

She found this costume at Savers and became obsessed. She chased Cru around the store the entire time with her stinger. It was so funny watching her run backwards and hearing Cru scream.

While the cats away - the mice will play... lots of cousins over all the time!

 This is what we really spent the most time on - Hermione Granger costume. I write about how I made her costume on my sewing blog here.

 Paige & Ethan spent one afternoon just making tons of different cool wands.

We found Elinor a Pooh costume that she hates.

She wore it for 5 minutes and was done.

SHe was more focused on making funny faces to my camera then caring about her clothes - yet.

SHe does make a rather cute pooh. 

be a good little pooh. 

 Emmett & Elle compare tummy sizes.

Hugs & Kisses 

Who wouldn't want to kiss that cute face?

Little Joshie!

Expelliamous!

Paige & Jackson all dresses up for Halloween - Hermione & Harry 

Practicing their spell casting 

Jackson 'borrowed' grandpas glasses for the photo shoot.

Working on charms - Yes. You win. You are very charming. 

aaahhh everyone loves a know it all and the boy who lived 

most likely to defeat the Dark Lord 

most likely to boss everyone around - oh wait. I mean .... most likely to write a cool book 

 Pleasant Grow at night from Kiwanis - Jason proposed to me here 14 years ago in October

Drove up there to see the sights - haven't been up there at night in well, 14 years... didn't stay long was kind of boring by myself. 

leaving home - always hard. Only upside was no grandpa standing there and wiping tears away (breaks my heart every time) - just Ian standing there and wiping tears away.  

who would have thunk there is a FREE petting zoo in Scipio, UT at a gas station/DQ - Paige is next to the donkey, but there is also llamas, ostriches

lama lama red pajama

chickens, roosters, free roaming peacocks (that Abbey was terrified of)

ducks, sheep, goats, deer 

Paige & James watching a bratty kid tough the ostrich 

Elle loved the animals everywhere 

Where's Abbey?  Hiding with her ice cream cone far away from the Peacocks

The guy was telling me they hope to get a kangaroo next year. 

Paige is petting the zebra and they had a Bull in the same pen - what an unexpected little treat on our way home.
