Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins!


Ready to go Trick or Treating!



The Beautiful Belle

The sensational Snow White!

At our family Halloween party my brother Tim won the costume prize. He was a Flux Capacitor from Back To The Future.



Uncle Matt and his Entourage!

My nephew Chaseton, he was a cowboy and the sweetest cowboy ever! I just love this little fella!

Fabulous Fall!

Now that fall is here I can't help but savour every moment of it! After living in Arizona for four years and having to stage a "pretend" fall I just love every moment of fall here in Utah.

On a picnic up in the canyon. It's amazing how much entertainment leaves and a gentle rolling brook provide!


Over Fall break I went to Thanksgiving Point's Scarecrow Festival with my sister Melissa and my brother Tim-and their families! It was a beautiful day and it is definetly going to become a tradition! We did pony rides, hay rides, inflatables for the kids, face painting, all sorts of fun things!

The Hot Mommas!!

When your sister is at school ALL DAY LONG.....

You have to find your own friends for a tea party!

Labor Day

Can you believe I am already posting AGAIN! Well here is what we did for Labor Day. We went up to South Fork with my parents for a "picmic".....and it was crowded! Lots of people, but so pretty! My Dad picked up some KFC(which I just can't handle eating meat off the bone-but the beans and coleslaw were yummy!) and we enjoyed! I have so many memories of eating KFC in parks with my parents. They also get rootbeer from A and W. They didn't give us cups so Dixie bought some off a fellow picnicker-good job mom! There is a shallow brook that runs by the park and we couldn't resist putting our feet in. And boy was it cold! We also went with Benj and his family-cute kids-good food-good time!




Also at Delbert and Dixie's was a neighbor trotting by who was willing to give the kids a horse ride.


We also went to Jump On It! Lots of fun and relieved that you get to leave after an hour...you can only jump for so long.

End of Summer....Beginning of School!

Jace and I at the Lonestar concert.


Another fun day of boating with the MIller's



Sarah(my long-time friend) is moving to Oregon(but not forever-thank goodness) We got together one last time before she leaves. We attempted to get a picture of all of us. The first one was my favorite!


All of our monkeys-minus Brandy-she wasn't in the mood!


Sage and Halle(Katie's little girl)

I find all sorts of random pictures on my camera from the girls playing. Here are some self portraits that I love!


Chloe(a cousin) slept over one night. She fit into our family well! That night was a fabulous thunderstorm, the girls got dressed up for the occasion.



Botteling green beans with Grammy Pammy


Strolling around Sundance-one of my favorite places in the world! The suckers are a must!

Yep! Still has the blankie!


Brandy's first day of preschool. I didn't want to leave, but she was thrilled to be there! Why do they have to grow up?





Sage couldn't wait to have school lunch......and start 1st grade. She is in the Spanish dual immersion program. She really loves school.....Brandy and I don't like her gone that long!

Sunshine and Summertime!

Boating at Utah Lake! Yes, it is green but it is so refreshing to swim in!





Yes people, the day has come that I actually cover up my skin instead of bake in the sun! I figure that I am almost 30 and should probably start protecting my skin a bit! Last year my SIL Leslie sent me this hat from The San Diego Hat Company. I am such a hat person and I think this hat is fabulous!







Sage the monkey.

I discovered mini carts at Smith's. The girls love them, I on the other hand have to watch out for my toes.

It is my favorite time of year when my sister from New Jersey comes to visit. One day while she was here we decided to go to the Provo Bakery. I hadn't been there is years! After we each chose our treat we sat out on the grass under a tree and enjoyed our fresh morsel of yumminess! The best part of this story is that it was in the afternoon and we were comfortable in the shade. I still just love the weather here in Utah.


Chillin in Santaquin!
One day we went to my sister's house in Santaquin. We had a fish fry and it was delicious!



Jayson and Matt teaching the kids how to play kick ball.

Swimming

Summer Fun!

4th of July!

Some of my sisters-really my favorite friends ever!








Our garden is coming right along.... it is my new favorite hobby. I spend a lot of time just looking at it!

Playing at Grandma's. My mom is the garage sale queen. She comes home with all sorts of finds to keep the kids happy for hours!


Biking in Provo Canyon.



We went to Arizona in June for Chris and Cassi's reception. It was good to be back in the valley, it kind of made me miss it!....Oh wait....I really love Utah-it is just too fabulous here!

Sage, Brandy,Cher
I was in charge of bringing Cher her dress for the reception.....I forgot it! My amazing sister Melissa raced up to our house and shipped it overnight....and the dress never made it! I felt so bad.


My friends in Arizona....so good to see all of you!

Swimming in the bathtub water! The pools in Arizona are so warm they feel like a bathtub. I love this picture of Sage!
