Hungry for more.

Dare I say.....better than Twilight?
(I loved the Twilight books! But I liked this better!)
What happens if we choose entertainment over humanity?
In Katniss's world it isn't just the contestants who risk the loss of their humanity. It is all who watch the Hunger Games.

Book #2 Catching Fire will be released in September and I can't wait to read it. Cuddle up on your couch and take a break from the DVR for a few nights. It will be worth it. I would love to hear what you think of the Hunger Games.

(Sarah, I stole this post from your blog. I hope it is ok!)

Tate Halloween Party - October 17, 2008

Rachel always plans the funnest Halloween parties. Kudo's to her on taking the time and energy to prepare and plan this annual party! The kids have so much fun wrapping eachother up as mummies. Mitchell was so cute to wrap up Abbie. They definately had so much fun.

She looks so thrilled! She is still darling even as a Tinkerbell Mummy!

Sadie is our little Ute Cheerleader. It was the perfect costume since the Utes ended up ranked #2 with their win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl later this year.

Sadie had a ball with the toilet paper. You can only see half of her face here but her smile is gorgeous!

"I want to be a mummy too!"

Sadie is not quite sure who is standing over her. I am wondering if she is going to cry or laugh!?!

Mitchell makes a good mummy. I took this opportunity to tickle him since he could not move.

Sadie could not quite figure out whose head she was sitting on. But she decided it did not matter and just started playing with the toilet paper on his head.

Steve and Jamie always have the best costumes. I love Steve's hair and tattoos. I also love Jamie's (Slash girl) tounge piercing and slashed up shirt.

Sadie looks a little worn out!

Abbie loved her dress ups! She was a fairy and she said she had on butterfly wings.

Her hair was nice and pretty until we got in the car to come to the party. Her hair and the car seat do not get along. She always comes out looking motherless!

Mitchell and Abbie are such good buddies. He loves to play with her and help her. She is having so much fun getting wrapped up as a mummy by her big brother.

Thanksgiving Point and Heber Creeper - October 16, 2008

In the afternoon we all met at Thanksgiving Point. The kids went on all sorts of rides and in the corn maze. I think the kids loved driving the go-carts. There were blow up slide and many other activities.

This chair is enormous. All of the grandkids fit on it.

I think we tired them out!

The Pumpkin Patch - October 15, 2008

This is a great picture of the boys. It is turning into a tradition to go to the pumpkin patch by my house in Riverton. You get to pick your own pumpkins, they have a corn maze and you get to sit on tractors. They had probably at least 10 different tractors. Luckily, the weather was really good.

Tate didn't want to get on the tractors, but he loved getting a ride in the wheel barrow from Grandpa Tate!

Sadie and Abbie had a wonderful time on the tractors. Abbie was taking good care of Sadie and made sure she had fun.

I think Abbie got on every tractor at least twice!

I am so greatful that I finally got two girls. We sure have fun together.

Austin is sure turning into such a handsome young man.

We sure had quite a group at the pumpkin patch. As they say, "The more the merrier!" What a true statement. I love getting together with family and the kids have so much fun together.

I am so glad that Abbie and Syndey are so close in age. 11 months is not that much different. They have a lot of fun playing together.

Austin always is so helpful with Abbie. He loves to make sure she is having fun and is safe. They are so cute together.

Some cute Sadie moments!

October 8, 2008 - I was doing dishes and Sadie was being so quiet. I started looking for her and this is what I found. She was having so much fun in Spook's cage.

She was not happy when I pulled her out of the cage. If she had it her way she would have played in there for hours!

September 30, 2008 - Sadie tried to help me feed her. I finally gave up trying to pull her hands away from her food bowl since she had already made a mess.

She had a blast! Her hair, face and hands are covered with food!

October 7, 2008 - Like I have said before, "Sadie is our monkey!"

Harvesting our Pumpkin Patch - Sept. 26, 2008

This year the boys planted all of our garden. They also weeded it and watered it. I think they had fun harvesting it also!

They got Abbie to help them out. The boys would cut the pumpkins off the vine and hand them to Abbie to put on the patio. Then the boys through the vines in the trash cans.

Austin looks so thrilled to be working in the garden!

They really did work hard and I appreciate all that they do to help me. This was a long and hard job.

Cleaning the bathroom with Toothpaste! - Sept. 25, 2008

Tate and Abbie decided to wash the bathroom counter and sink with toothpaste while Grandma Tate was watching them at our house. They had so much fun!

The Circus Parade - Sept. 24, 2008

Before the Circus Parade started we played at the Discovery Gateway. On our way to get a spot on the street Mitchell and Austin noticed that they were handing out popcorn and balloons to the children. So they got popcorn and balloons for all of us.

Even though the parade was very short it was fun to see the motorcycles and elephants!

We also liked the clowns.

Abbie and Tate loved the elephants.

After the parade we went to California Pizza Kitchen. The parade was so tiring that Abbie is helping Austin take a nap on the bench at CPK!

It is always a mess and pretty crazy when you have this many little kids at a resturant. Thank goodness we had Grandma, Mitchell and Austin with us!

Hogle Zoo - Sept. 17, 2008

The kids always love to go on the train ride!

It is amazing we have enough hands to take all the little ones on the train!

"We are so cool!"

Abbie looks like she is steering the tiger by the ears!

Tate didn't quite like the Merry-go-round at first. After a few minutes he was wimpering, "Mom, I'm doing it!"

Sally and Lincoln had a ball on the Merry-go-round.

Sadie did not quite know what to do. You can see Sydney behind Sadie. She was so darling and loved the Merry-go-round.

Austin is such a tough guy!

Mitchell saved us by helping Lincoln!

Sydney and Abbie have so much fun together. I think Abbie was a bit nervous on the elephant for this picture.

I think this is one of the first pictures I have been in with all four of the kids!

It was so cute to see this Mommy monkey protecting her baby.

It is so tiny!

The kids watched it for almost 10 minutes!

Tate and Abbie love eachother so much!
