This is Halloween

Who needs to go trick or treating when you can make a haul at the ward trunk-or-treat(minus the trunks as they were all set up on tables inside the gym). We then headed over to the rec center where they had a whole carnival set up with tons of candy games and activities for you! We ended our night with some yummy chili in pumpkin bread bowls.

Gearing up for Halloween!

Angry Mask

One day we had a pretty rough time with listening, talking back to mom and being mean to you sister. After what I like to call "Battle of the Bedtime" I tucked you in and told you to go to sleep. You stopped me and said, "Sorry mom that I was a little bit mean today. I was just pretending because I had on my angry mask."

Where do you come up with these things? I told you that I really didn't like that game and I really don't like angry masks. To which you replied, "Don't worry I will throw it away tomorrow." Works for me.

I thought that was the end of that until the next day when you got frustrated with me over something and said "Mom, don't make me get my angry mask out of the trash." I was upset he made a threat towards me, but at the same time I had to try not to laugh because he had remembered he had thrown the darn non-exisistent thing away and was still motioning to the garbage that he was going to go and take the stinking thing out. What am I going to do with this boy and his imagination?

Nanny

This summer we got to live with your Nanny. You were so spoiled by her, from early morning breakfasts with hot cocoa, special treats and snacks, movies and who could forget the ipad sessions in her bedroom and trips to the dollar store! It really was an adjustment moving to Vernal and not having her around. We love our Nanny!

Which Witch is Which?

Tis the season for Maga's birthday which means an annual trip to Olive Garden and Gardener Village to see the Witches that are set up for Halloween. We love seeing the witch displays and enjoying the last few days of sunshine!

Cute Enough to Eat!

You could not love your little sister anymore than you do. Nearly everyday you are asking me to hold her and take your picture.

Richey Cousins

My oh my how this family keeps growing!

Bingham Copper Mines

Construction trucks, construction zones, construction workers...you are fascinated by them all for one reason or another. Maybe that is why your favorite thing to play is construction in the dirt pile! Seeing the trucks here in person was as you said "AWESOME"!

I Scream You Scream!

One of my fondest memories growing up was visits with my grandma and her fixing waffles with ice cream on top for breakfast! Who eats ice cream for breakfast?? Well when you visit your Nanny you get to, you LOVED it, but really what kid wouldn't?

Dino-Zoo

Finally we got up to the Zoo this Summer with your cousins. We had fun because this summer they had the dinosaur exhibits too. They looked pretty darn real! Your favorite animal this go around was the Gorillas.

R-O-D-E-O!

Jumping, laughing, yelling and cheering on the COWBOYS. You bet you liked the rodeo, and I am pretty sure if we lived on a ranch you would fit right in!


My two favorite boys in the entire world! I could just eat them up!

Twenty.Fourth.Of. July

Parades Parades Parades! So fun to see you grin ear to ear watching and waiting, especially for the Firetrucks. This parade was exceptionally fun because of all the candy you got.

Antelope Island

We took a little field trip out to Antelope Island where we got to see an old farm house, horses, and play some games...







Awww nothing like BROTHERLY love!

SLC Children's Parade

I know that most people are not big parade fans, but to me there is something about them that just defines Summertime. I am so glad that you like them so much, and that your dad is always such a good sport and goes along with us even though they are not always the most exciting.

Behind Bars

Not the first time I have found you and Lexie like this.

Drive On Thru

A night of fun watching Cars 2 at the drive in. This is far better than a theater with you! You can be loud and run around and eat all the junk food you want. You loved every minute of it!
