Ok, so I posted this on facebook but thought I might get some other people to respond if I put it on my blog. I am terrible at making cookies. They usually turn out taste wise good but they are flat or hard or on and on. So if you have any really good cookie recipes or fail-safe recipes or maybe some great tips I would love to hear them. I randomly get in the mood for good cookies and then I follow a random recipe in one of my recipe books and it just doens't quite hit the spot. Oh yeah and if you have any great ideas for traveling snacks and food I would love to hear that also.
Thanks a bunch please comment.

Halloween and past!!!
Ok, so this was supposed to load the pics the opposite way around but I am not about to go in and change that. So this is our little family all dressed in our San Juan Broncos garb for Colby's brother's game. The kids and I have been watching the games with Colby's family and he has been in the booth with his brother broadcasting the games live on the internet. Anyways, he enjoys it and Jackson loves yelling at the games. Really CUTE! Berklee actually watches too if she isn't sleeping or eating. 
This is from Jackson's birthday. He actually had a party with friends this year and not just family. We didn't do anything too big. They got to play around and then have cupcakes and ice cream. As you can see that was plenty for him. The kids loved the balloons, the noisemakers in the party bags, and the party hats. Ham it up Jack!!!
Now for the Halloween pics. I kept asking Jackson different things of what he wanted to be for Halloween. Apparently he was very stuck on being a pirate, then I asked him what Berklee should be and he insisted she be a pirate with him. I think I asked him a hundred different things to be and it never changed. So sorry Berklee you got to be a pirate of course she doesn't look to upset about that here.
In fact, she seemed to like it just fine. Jackson may get to pick her costume next year too. But I promise he won't always get to choose her costume. I really think she turned out soooo adorable. And as you can tell, Jackson loved it. Too cute!
He also had a hat. I don't know why we didn't take pics with the hat on. He was so excited and would keep saying "I'm egcited mom". We had our impromptu party so he dressed up for that this is actually the night before Halloween when we dressed up for a party at the little family center here and the school's carnival. He got to play around, do a cake walk, make a little picture frame magnet for a picture of him in his costume, and get mommy and Berklee locked in jail for 5 mins. (Colby was in big trouble) j/k.
Halloween day was crazy because we headed up to Blanding after the school's carnival in MV and Saturday went to the Broncos game. They ended up winning so that was good. Then we hurried and got the kids dressed up and took them around to family's houses up in Blanding. We hurried and packed our stuff up and rushed back down to MV. We had been told our housing area is the place so the idea of actually getting more than 10 trick or treaters intrigued us. Plus, Jackson just insisted he go trick or treating to his friend's houses. He loved it. He was so happy about the candy. It's so fun to watch him grow up in so many ways. I do wish every now and then he would just slow down though. Well, Jackson also loved handing out the candy. He would run to the door open it up and start putting one piece in everyone's bag. Guess what? We had more than 10 trick or treaters in fact we bought more candy than we ever have and ran out. I had to break out some of our own candy stores. Colby was about to bring out old Christmas candy but I vetoed that. Thankfully the treaters stopped with about 2 pieces of our stores of candy left. Well thank you for cleaning us out so I won't eat it. I had to put this pic of Berk because she's playing with Jackson's hook. Every chance she would get she was trying to play with his sword or hook so the costumes were a hit for both kids.
I put this one in because it shows her full costume. She is such a big girl. She's growing up way too fast. She's standing up to things, climbing over things, and letting go of things to stand up. She either thinks she needs to keep up with her brother or be able to get away from him I'm not sure which. Sometimes she just follows him around and wants to play with whatever he is playing with and other times she is happy as can be doing her own things. I guess we'll see as she gets older. I really think and hope they'll both like time together but also want time alone.
Brother and sister together. So most of the time she is happy as can be with her. Of course, that only lasts until he wants to wrestle and tackle her. He's actually really careful about it and doesn't usually hurt her but she doesn't like being restrained when he's wrestling her. Watch out though Jackson, because I have a feeling she'll be a fighter. One day you might be sorry you try to wrestle her. Although, the fact that he just keeps growing may not let Berklee get that chance. he is still around 38 lbs but has grown 4 1/2 in since a month after Berklee was born. He is now 40 1/2 in. Berklee is growing quick too though so I guess the race is on.
Sorry so long. I finally posted pics and decided to share some news. Leave a comment if you read this I love to hear what you have to say. Oh yeah, one more thing the family got flu vaccine shots today. I actually got mine last week. The other three got them today and got both of the flu vaccines. My poor babies. Including my husband in that statement. I don't know if you guys have had them but mine made my arm ache for two days. I hope my little chile beans don't hurt that much.
