Carving Pumpkins

Tonight Rob and Taylor carved pumpkins. Taylor loved every minute of it even though all she did was poke the eyes out once Rob carved them.

Trunk or Treat...

Tonight our ward had a trunk or treat. It was a lot of fun but a little crazy! We ate food, played games, then went outside to our cars where kids when trick or treating. It was really cute, and the girls had so much fun!

I know, I know I didn't dress up this year...and I probably won't next year, or the year after that:)

Wait, didn't Rob dress up as a dork last year? Ya we are going to have to get more creative next year, but it just fits him so well don't you think?

I hate Apartments!

As you can see from the picture, my kids seriously need to get out more. How embarrassing that their eyes are seriously glued to the TV. It's so annoying living in an apartment because you can't go outside or you'll get hit by a car. I can't wait to live in a real neighborhood.......in about 10 years! (hopefully it's that soon)
This is Olivia after we just got back from the doctor. While Rob wasn't watching, she burned her hand on my curling iron. I guess it's partly my fault since i'm the one who turned it on. :)

Camp Pendleton Mud Run

So me and 4 other girls finished the mud run today at Camp Pendleton. It was crazy. We had to run 6 miles while we climbed over walls, crawled through a tunnel, ran through tires, and got sprayed with water while running in the mud. We got so dirty and you can hardly tell because of the color of the shirt we were wearing. It was so much fun though and I can't wait to do it next year!!

Jay Leno Show

I got tickets to go see Jay Leno and Rob and I went there yesterday with another couple in our ward. It was so much fun. Although unfortunately Barak Obama was the guest, but Kieth Urban was there too so that was fun. We missed Reese Witherspoon by one day, she was there the night before. It was still a lot of fun though!

New York New York...

So I just got back from New York and it was one of the best vacations i've ever been on. We went to ground zero, statue of liberty, we saw wicked, went shopping and ate some really good food. The first night we ate at a place called "The View" and it was on the top of our Hotel. The restaurant actually moved while we ate so that we could see all of New York, it was so beautiful. It was an all girls trip, which means Rob was stuck at home with the kids! Actually let me rephrase that, Rob was lucky enough to take care of our kids while I was gone. :) I really missed them until I came inside the house to Taylor having a timeout and crying. Then I kind of wanted to be back in New York, but it's good to be home.

Pumpkin Patch..

We decided to go to the Pumpkin Patch with all our kids for Family night. They had a lot of fun!

Ice Cream...

I've gotten my kids to all become obsessed with sweets like me! Grace and Olivia are like little birds whenever we eat a popsicle or ice cream and as you can see from the pictures, Taylor really enjoys it too! atleast the twins are taking turns right?

Someone put me in a mental institute...

so i'm not kidding when I say that i'm going to go crazy! Taylor has woken up the last three days from her nap by making a huge mess in her room. On Wednesday, I went up to her room to see that she had put baby oil and baby lotion all over the mirrors, her clothes and herself! Baby oil is the hardest thing to clean off and it's still not completely clean. On Thursday I went up to her room and every single thing in her closet was now on her floor.
And to top it off, today I went up to her room with poop on the walls and on her hands! I'm going to have to start duck taking her diaper again when she goes to sleep. But isn't she 3 1/2 years old? I know she should be potty trained by now, but she's Taylor Judd and she's going to learn on her own terms. Besides all of that she is throwing tantrums all over the place. I swear if people really saw her throw a true tantrum, they probably wouldn't be friends with me anymore, it's pretty crazy. I thought she was getting easier, but not these past three weeks! I guess when it comes down to it I love her to death and I wouldn't have it any other way. (well, maybe minus the tantrums and cleaning up poop!)

Is it bad to say that this is my favorite part of the day?

Taylor, Olivia and Grace look like...

I don't get how this happened, I thought for sure they would all look like Rob by atleast 75 percent! Olivia is the only one who looks more like Rob according to this, how did that happen when all my kids look exactly the same?

DISNEYLAND!

So, we went to Disneyland today. It was fun. Grace and Olivia had a lot of fun because it was pretty much all new to them. I think Taylor is getting braver because she wanted to go on Snow White, Pirates, and the Haunted Mansion. Grace and Olivia were kind of scared on them, but as long as they had food in their mouth I was able to take their minds off the scary parts.

This is the huge boat of a stroller that I get to push when I have all three out at the same time!

Olivia is so over pictures right now!
