Preschool Program

Khloe's preschool puts on a little singing program for Halloween. It's really cute and like the primary program she sang really loud. There is one song that they do called "black cat" and it gets stuck in my head. It wasn't so bad this year because she didn't sing it around the house as much. But I was all excited because this is the last year that we would have to hear it but then Brett brought to my attention that Gage will be singing it soon. Yea.....I can hardly wait!!

Trick or Treat!!

This is the third installment of Spooky Halloween! going Trick or treating, was fun, it wasn't too cold, a little windy and the weather people were wrong because it RAINED!! We didn't get soaked and I'm grateful the kids only like to go down one street. They were so cute in their costumes!! We had fun!

Spooky Halloween!!

I don't think I'm going to be able to get all the pictures in one post so I will make this 3 posts. So this first post is from the pumpkin patch with Brett's family. We go to Pack's Pumpkin Patch. I was worried that it was going to be packed because it was the last saturday before Halloween. But it wasn't and there were still a ton of good pumpikns left. We always have lots of fun picking pumpkins and spending time with the family.

Quit being selfish and think of me first!!

that's just a little quote from my good friend Hailey. I love it. So here are some pics of the kids...still don't have any from Court and Michelle from oktoberfest (hint, hint). We are going to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and it's BRett's week off and it's so nice because he's not working any extra days. A whole week with Brett what am I going to do with myself. yea!!

Fall is in the air...well sort of

I would normally love this time of year, the crisp night air, the changing leaves and all that other fun fall time stuff. But it's way to warm here right now. It's nice but at the same time it's not. i miss Seattle fall. Have you ever really noticed that it's not ever sweater weather here. We go from tank tops and t-shirts to winter coats almost overnight. And the weather is nice now but you know that its going to be cold enough to snow by halloween. So that's my venting about the weather here. One more reason why I miss Seattle. Oh well what can you do!!

I want to move back!!

We got back from Seattle Sunday night. It was such a great trip and it makes Brett and I realize that we want to move back. Not until he's done with school though, so no one in Utah needs to worry yet. Friday we hung out with Levi, and meet his new girlfriend (which we like alot!). Saturday the boys watched the football game while Michelle and I went shopping. After lunch we headed up to Levenworth for Oktoberfest. It's an authentic German town. It looks like a christmas village, so in the winter time I'm sure it looks awsome. We ended up driving back that night because there was no hotels. (it's one of the biggest festivals in the nation!) Sunday we got ready to go to the airport, and went to the new southcenter mall to get something for the kids adn then went home. It was a little chilly because it had snowed, crazy!! We didn't take any pictures so I'll have to wait for Court and Michelle to email me some pictures. But it's good to be home with the kids, they had fun at Grandma's but it great to see them again!!

getting tagged??!!

Ok Ali here you go , ya jerk. I guess I'm supposed to write 6 random things about myself and then tag 6 other people by telling them with a tag. So I think I only have like 5 people so we shall see how this works,

1. Believe it or not I'm a very shy person until I think you can handle the real me. I think it's a good idea to test the waters so to speak with people I don't know before I unleash the full personality of Jaycee!!

2. Nothing irrates me more then when people slide thru a door without checking to see if there is someone behind them about to go thru. Also when there is two doors side by side they go thru the wrong door (yes there is a right and a wrong door, it's like driving!!)

3. Wait there is something that irrates me more.....people who don't pick up their feet when they walk, please don't do that around me, it takes all my strength not to cut your feet off.

4. I like to scare kids at halloween but hate to be scared myself.

5. I will never go bungee jumping or jump out of an airplane because I have dreams that I fall and hate the feeling of falling, and the fact that in my dreams I always hit the ground.

6. I would like to move back to Washington because I miss the water and the rain!!

Alright so this is who I tag, Carrie, Cat, Renae,
Sorry it's not the full 6 but I'm kinda lame!!

fall Cleaning

For some reason I seem to do my spring cleaning in fall...go figure. But I think it's a great idea, making room for all the decorations for fall, Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. I've been trying to get Brett to go through his closet and get rid of the clothes that he hasn't worn in more then a year....he's a little reluctant, I don't know why. I'm getting rid of all my maternity clothes so if you know anyone one that is prego or is going to be let me know so I can give them to people that need them.

Jetty is crawling really well....too well in fact, He was crawling close to the railing and our railing is not up to code. He backed up and got stuck (Thank God!) I looked over and he was grunting because his head and shoulders got stuck so he didn't fall down the stairs. But it scared the poop at of me. Once again if anyone has any ideas about what to do about the gap, any ideas would be appreciated. He's got 4 teeth too. exciting times!

Gage is starting to talk a little better, I think we are going to wait until February before we call the early intervention people. But he's being very much like a little boy. Kicking Jett, pushing Khloe and throwing his toys everywhere. Boys will be boys I guess. But he's in for a big surprise when Jett gets older!!

Khloe is enjoying preschool and learning alot. She's being a little mom to the two younger boys, but they don't lsiten to her anymore then they listen to me. She is a great helper though and I don't know what I would do without her!

Brett is doing well in school. Well in that last two classes he is taking. He dropped two classes but it's better that he did. He took a math class that was was too high and the other class was a little too hard for him right now. But he enjoys Acting and sociology.

Thats about it for the Hammerstrom family. We leave for seattle in a week from Friday so I'm really excited about that. Hopefully we won't forget the camera so we can take some cool pictures of Oktoberfest!
