October

October...

 

We started off October with one of my favorite things! Seeing the witches at Gardner Village....

 They even got a picture with some REAL witches wandering around!

And our yearly tradition of picking pumpkins with some of my favorite people! As Jamie said..We love us some Dabo's!

 

My Mom and Dad took the twins so we could take the girls to the corn maze. They loved it... Makenna, Hannah, and I were hiding and scared Matt and Alexa! haha... what fun! 

We made us some sugar cookies! This year I actually made the dough from scratch! Sometimes I get lazy and just buy some cookies at the store. But this year, I did it!!

We made caramel apples and delivered goodies for the phantom! 

 

I cut my hair!!! Ahhh, it was 11 inches off, but I love it.. it's just me!!

 

Matt and I went to a Halloween Party at our friends the Newbold's. We went as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell! Everyone got a good laugh out of Matt's tights!

Had a Halloween party with all the cousins on my side of the family....

Decorated Pumpkins....

 

 Had some Airplane rides, courtesy of Dad!

And Finally Halloween!! The school did a Halloween Parade this year!

Makenna was an 80's rock star...

Hannah was a 50's poodle girl....

 And Alexa was a 20's flapper...

 Drew was a Utah Football Player and Sophie was a Utah Cheerleader.

 

My cute kids ready to head out for some Trick-or-Treating!!!.... 

After Trick-or-Treating we met back at our neighbors, The Blackwells. All the kids dumped out their candy and started sorting! I think they got enough! 

 

Well there you have it... It took me long enough, but I have caught up on all my blogging! I'll try and keep up this time!

September

September...

 

Drew got some little golf clubs... so cute!

My sweet girl Hannah turned 7!!! Crazy! This little girl makes me laugh and makes me crazy, but she is so sweet and makes me so happy!

 Hannah had a cupcake party at "The Chocolate" cafe in West Jordan. So Yummy!

Oh..my..heck.... this girl has decided she is too old to "play", and is now "hanging out!" Oh my.. I am not old enough for this!

I've never had a baby that has a special blanket, but of course I do now with my boy! He absolutely LOVES this blanket more than anything!

One last trip to the lake! We let Hannah take her friend Sienna. We had lots of fun this summer on the boat! Can't wait for next year!!!

With Hannah's birthday in September, their school has a special "birthday table" set up and the cow from Chick-fil-A comes and brings them a special prize. I went and ate with her to celebrate her special month!!

I went to the RS Broadcast with my mom and sisters, and Matt, the brave soul he is, took all the kids up Butterfield canyon and took some adorable pics and sent them to me! Love this man! Love these kids!!!

August

August....

Alexa started off August with starting Kindergarten!!

 

We took the boat out for a bit with my mom and dad and sister!

We went to the petting zoo at the county fair with my mom and sisters....

Sophie didn't like the animals so much... haha!

My AMAZING sister Stefanie gave birth to her sweet little boy Walker. I watched to whole thing. Ive never seen a "normal" birth before since mine were all C-Sections. She was so good. She did the whole thing all natural with NOTHING for the pain. What an amazing experience to be there and see my new nephew come into this world....

We headed for a little VACA with our friends the Dabo's. We had such a good time! Loved being on the lake with these guys! We've decided to make this an every other year tradition with our families! 

 Love this girl!

We headed to Snowbird for our yearly family tradition with my entire family! Makenna and Hannah both won Musical Chairs for their age group! I was so proud of them. They won a ticket to go on the perivian chair lift. So my dad bought himself a ticket and took the two girls up and spent some time with them. They loved it.



While at snowbird we went to the Snowbird center and grabbed some icecream with my dad! 

Snowbird was an, ummm interesting year this year, but the kids always enjoy it!!

The kids all had fun in the sun!!

 

We went to the Riverton Park to watch the fireworks with our friends, The Blackwells....



Happy 4th of July....

Took a trip to the zoo with my sisters and all the kids....

We went to Glenns Ferry in Idaho and went camping. We met up with my sister Becca and her kids from Idaho! They had lots of fun with their cousins...

 

After Glenns Ferry, Makenna and Hannah went back to Idaho with their cousins and stayed for a week. So I had lots of time with Alexa, and we got some ICECREAM.... Mmmm!!

Makenna started 4th grade!! Oh my Gosh!!!

Hannah started 1st grade!!!

For Matt's and my anniversary, we went and saw WICKED!! So awesome! I absolutely loved it! Then after the show we went and stayed at the Grand America Hotel downtown! Let me tell you, it was GRAND!!

And to end off the month... this sweet little girl had a birthday!! She turned 5 years old and got her ears pierced! She was so brave and didnt even cry... even though on her right ear, we had to take out the piercing and redo it because it was off centered. So she had to get that ear pierced twice! Such a brave sweet 5 year old girl!! LOVE HER!!!

Our summer of fun has begun!

Yahoo! Its time to get this boat out and have some fun :)
