Rise and Shout

Am I indoctrinating them too early?
(one of them seems to be soaking it up a little more than the other)

What a great game on Saturday!

A Little...

My parents came to visit for two weeks at the end of October and while they were here, we did a little of everything!

A little bowling...(Go Grandma!)




A little soccer watchin'...(Go Noah!)


A little Staheli Farm Pumpkin Patch...


with a little handwashing afterwards...


A little singing and dancing...(yes, at church)


A little Trick-or-Treating...(my mother makes the costumes every year. I'm a little spoiled)


A little messin' around with Grandpa...


And a little eating out...(OK, a lot of eating out)


Grandma and Grandpa, we miss you! Please come back soon!

True Story

This year, we bought a trampoline for our kids for their birthdays. This is the trampoline today.

True Story. A few weeks ago, we went out of town for the weekend. Upon return, my husband asks, "where's our trampoline?"
"Our trampoline? What do you mean, 'where's our trampoline'?"

Here's our trampoline. In our neighbors yard. Over the fence.

Our little town is known for it's wind gusts. Apparently the wind gusts on this said weekend were some of the strongest we've had. Strong enough to blow our trampoline over the fence into our neighbor's yard.

Happy Birthday kids.

You're growing up in a town living up to its name.

Happy Birthday Andy!

I don't throw birthday parties every year...I think I've mentioned this before. But this was the year for Anderson. Happy 3rd Birthday buddy!

The day started with the birthday boy...



and the invitations...

we threw in some entertainment...


and some friends...

a pinata (homemade out of a paper bag)...

and some cake.


It all made for a great birthday party! Thank you Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dick for the birthday bounce house! It was entertaining the whole weekend!

Did I mention that the high for the day was 90 degrees?

What did YOU do last night?

Our night went something like this...

Happy

How can you not love someone who's
this genuinely happy to see you?

Utah

Ooohhhh, I love where we live.
Technically, this is 4 hours north of us.
Nevertheless...
