Mid - life crisis already?

Yesterday I was in a strange mood. Not sad...but not happy, just here.
I have so much going on in my head. What to and where do I go from here thoughts.
I feel like I am walking in circles with no place to go. Am I hitting a mid-life crisis already??

Not that I am wanting to be 27 again.
I have experienced a lifetime while I was working before I became a  mom.
I am happy with the things that I have accomplished.
I have a wonderful husband and great kids.
We have a successful business that we are running.
I have great friends, we live in the ideal neighborhood with a roof over our heads.
I work from home with great amount of flexibility. Ideal jobs!

I just have the desire to do something NEW. Something to make me have that spark again.
I want to feel energized and excited about what I am doing.
I guess it is hard with no longer having to work outside the home has made me feel a bit isolated. Don't get me wrong. I feel blessed that I am able to be here for the kids while they are young but I still feel like I am missing something.

I need to figure it out. I can not figure out the root issue here. I know I will find it soon... I just am in a little rut.
Have you ever felt this way? I think it might be with the holidays coming up there is a ton of emotions that just surface.

Trying to figure it all out. I need to get in tune with MYSELF.

So many things to be Thankful for...

We have been enjoying the time together as a family. We just got back from VEGAS.

We has so much fun with Pop Pop and Grammy Lori. We were able to catch up with some old friends that Robert and I used to work with while on our trip. Just a great time.

We had to entertain the kids while on the drive.  We were fully loaded with movies and iPad and toys galore.  You would think that we were moving out of state with all the stuff we brought to entertain the kids. 

Yesterday Robert and Baby were on Good Things Utah.  Baby made it on camera TWICE.  Here is a clip where she got a little stage fright....but hey she was on TV right?

Robert was on talking about Jump Around Utah but I don't have the video for that segment. We are trying to get that video... as soon as we get the video I will post something.  So grateful for all the opportunities that we have with Jump Around Utah.... SO GRATEFUL!

Halloween re-cap.

Hope you had a great Halloween..we had an amazing night!!!
It was nice to have a dress rehearsal on Friday at school with the costumes. We were able to tweak the outfits to make it an enjoyable night.  Here is a picture of the family and our costumes.

Truth be told...I took off my wings after we took the picture. So I had wings for a total of 5 minutes.  I did however put on an orange jacket to be a little festive.

We started out around 5:30 to head over to our friend Pagie's house for a quick get together. On the way the kids were able to trick or treat all the way there.  After filling our bellies with food we headed out again to trick or treat with friends.  It was so much fun watching a group of kids trick or treating and enjoying themselves.  Drew was ready to head home around 7.  I couldn't believe it, really? so early?  We headed up to another set of friends and Patrick was nice enough to drive us back home.  (We were 6 blocks away from the house.)  So Thank you Patrick!!  But we were home before 8 and all the kids were out by 8:30.  I was in shock!  But we had a great time trick or treating.  Last year we didn't get to trick or treat much because it was raining. BUT this year TOTALLY made up for last year.  So excited that we have a stash of candy to last us a year.

So the kids are down and I had to finish up some work.  So in addition to trying to  make costumes I was working on this:

Here is the post about my project: Advent Calendar Blog Post

So now you see why I was so tired the last couple of weeks.  Can not wait for this weekend.  FAMILY TIME!!!  So have an amazing first day of November!  Till next time!

Happy Halloween!!!

Oh me oh my! Halloween is here!

The last couple of weeks for me have been ABSOLUTELY Crazy!  Trying to get costumes ready, assignments completed and just the everyday life of a family of 5.   So we had some fun and some tears...but it is all good now.

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids in their costumes.
First is Drew... he is a ninja!  He couldn't wear a mask

 Sammie is Jewel ( the girl bird from Rio)

 And Caroline was "tangled"  She had a wig but she did not want to put it back on.  I will try and get another picture of her with the wig on...so funny!

Here are the kids not wanting to take pictures for mom... I love how their expressions are telling me... "Hurry up mom... I wanna go to the carnival"  Okay, I get a hint.

Here are some Halloween layouts I made:
