Boy's Night at Aunt B's is a very exciting time! I love to have all the boys over and they have such a good time when they are together! I am missing two boys in this photo shoot. Newly's Lance and Kati's Payton. There have been several occasion's when I have had them all at the same time. Branson has his friend Wyatt over too. One of their favorite things to do is pretend that they are riding bulls, Bailey is usually the bull. He is a good sport. I love all my BOYS!!
Santa came to Fielding Town Hall last Saturday and Carson was so excited to sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted. Santa said I bet all you want for Christmas is your 2 front teeth. Carson said no I want a BB gun and a new saddle and a sled and.... OH BOY!
Branson on the other hand didn't want to sit on Santa's lap this year. Instead he wanted to take pictures. I gave him my camera and he went around snapping pictures of everyone. He tried to take a couple of himself with other people. What a kid. The older people thought it was great! 
We went to Salt Lake this weekend on a mini vacation. I went to the Temple with Rod's sister Karen and her husband Travis, they were sealed to their children, it was such an awesome expericence! I am so happy for them! While I was in the temple Jacki toured Temple Square with my boys, they had a lot of fun. They did it all. They have never been to Temple Square. Jacki took them to eat in the Nauvoo Cafe while I went to the dinner. Rod had to work so he didn't get to go with us. That night we went to the concert at the Conference Center, that was really neat, I have never been inside of it and I was so amazed at how big it is. The concert was quite a show, more than I expected and the boys enjoyed it too! We stayed over at Little America and then went to the Gateway the next day, we were going to shop but we ended up just eating, because Jacki and I were worried about the snow. We had a lot of fun together. Thanks, Aunt Jacki. This was probably an overdose on birth control for her!
Rod's Mom makes gingerbread for everybody in the family. The couples get one to share and the kids each get their own. It is a lot of work for her, but she really enjoys doing it for everyone. We put our houses together the first Sunday in December every year.
The boys love to do this! Carson's favorite part is putting the house together and decorating it. That's what he said anyway, I think he really enjoys eating the candy too. 
Branson's favorite part is eating it on New Year's Day. Rod remembers eating theirs on New Year's Day when he was a kid. I think it is kind of gross, because it gets dusty, but boys don't really care about that. Branson even put candy inside of his and said that it is a secret vault only to be opened on New Year's Day.
Carson & Great Grandpa Udy's Birthday Party in 2005.
I went shopping for the first time in my life with coupons, Thanks to Jacki, she introduced me to the grocery smarts program. I have really been sitting on the fence about this because it just seemed like a lot of work and time, which I don't have. Jacki called me last week and said that their was an awesome sale at Albertson's in Logan and I should try my coupons out. She said Friday night they restock everything, so she went to check it out to make sure everything was stocked up for me before I made the trip over. Then on Friday night at 9:30 pm Carson and I started over to Logan to meet Jacki so she could help us figure this thing out. It is a little complicated and since she had done it before she was the pro. Anyway I spent only $77.83 and saved $275.66 that is a savings of 75% which means out the 95 items I purchased i spent about 72 cents per item. I even got 10 bottles of All Laundry detergent. Now that is a huge savings! I will probably do it again but only if their is a good sale like this one.
We had a fun week of Halloween events! We went to our ward Halloween party on Tuesday Night. We decorated pumpkins and ate dinner. On Thursday night we carved our pumpkins. The boys always love to do this. I think it is because they get to use a knife. On Friday we dressed up for work and school, I even dressed up like a witch for work, my friend Janet also dressed up like a hunter. We decided we needed to do something fun at work for stress relief. Branson dressed up like a vampire for school and Carson dressed up like a ninja, check out his moves. Then for trick or treating, Branson dressed up like a girl, yes that is Branson, he made a beautiful girl, he has nice eyelashes. Then of course after trick or treating we went to Grandma Kent's for Chili and Sugar Cookies and life long family tradition. I love Halloween, it is so much fun!
