Just to make you smile

We got some sad news yesterday that Chris' aunt Mary passed away. So I thought some of our Family could use something to make them smile. Karlie has been lots of fun the last week and so here is what she has been up to. Mon. she made half the town think she was lost. Nope just locked herself in the car. Tues. she got sick. Wed she wanted to walk the dog so I thought whats the harm she can walk him in the house, well the dog pulled her down she hit something split her eyebrow open and off to the Dr.'s we go it was stitches or glue we said glue please. Are you laughing yet? if not this is where it gets really good. So on Sun I wanted to make some cookies everyone was helping (you know family fun) so then all the sudden we hear singing we run in the bathroom to find this

She had given herself a bath and the bath was almost about to overflow. She was having the time of her life. Then we told her to let some water out and she discovered that it made a noise. Press pause on the music below and watch how silly she is. So now that you are laughing you probably think I am done. Nope it gets better, Out five children I guess I was bound to have this happen once. Karlie cut her own hair. She was so proud of herself. I was working on a project on the computer and she came in our room with the scissors and said I cut my hair by myself. I just cut her hair for the first time a couple of weeks ago thank goodness so it wasn't that noticeable. I thought she was kidding or just asking to cut her hair but to my surprise when I went out the family room I found her blond little hair all over the floor.

So when you find yourself feeling sad just think to yourself "what is Karlie doing now"

Halloween fun

We had a spooktacular Halloween. We had some friends come over for dinner(chicken and dumplings) and we all went trick or treating together it was a lot of fun. There were fourteen kids in all, what a group to open your door to! Karlie was very cute they would go to give her a piece of candy and she would just reach into their bowl and take out the piece she wanted. She is defiantly a girl who knows what she wants. The kids all had a good time and it was fun to spend time with our friends.

Isabella Update

I have been so busy I thought I would catch you all up to speed one kid at a time. So I will start with Isabella, she turned 14 years old on October 2. She celebrated with some friends by going to a park for dinner where they had pizza and opened presents, then went to the mall and played a bargain game. All the girls got $5 and had a blast.


Isabella is doing very well in school with a 3.5 GPA and has loved being in 8th grade. Isabella is also playing soccer again this year with her Dad as her coach. She has been playing goalie and is really good. Its hard to believe its her last year of recreational soccer, then on to high school soccer if she chooses to play.
One of the best things about turning 14 is being able to go to the church dances. Izzy went to her first dance this last Sat. on the 17th. She went with the girls from the ward (the Capps girls and Haley Davis ) she had a great time and LOVED dancing with the boys! It's hard to believe she is already 14. It feel like it wasn't that long ago it was me at those dances.

Pumpkin Farm

It's that time of year where the weather starts to change life is crazy busy and you have 101 things to do and so little time but you always find time for Bishop's Pumpkin Farm

We went on Thursday the 15 after school. We all had a blast. Karlie kept asking to go and now that she has been she wont stop asking to go again she had a lot of fun




All the kids had fun playing and acting like a bunch of animals
