AWE.....FAMILY!!!!

Our fun, family dinner. We try to get together once a month for a family dinner, but, life gets soooo crazy sometime. With my brother, Fred coming into town, it was perfect excuse to make it happen!!

Were we able to Facetime Dad and Mom, that was so amazing to see them and to have them at the party!! WE LOVE YOU TWO!!!!!

Thanks, Julia for a YUMMY dinner!!!!

This was the priceless picture of the night..Jade getting gorgeous for the picture..Britt and I look so intrigued :0)

And, yes that is a dead hand under the Missionaries...they were all over the house, a little creepy!!!

Which, Pumpkin???

My friend, Brooke was taking her kids to J.J. Nursery's to go on a hayride and to pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. We were so excited to go with them. As we stood in line they were handing out fresh pumpkin cookies....SO YUMMY!!! we were able to take a fun tractor hayride around his property to a HUGE pumpkin patch. As we got off the trailer, the kids went crazy trying to find the PERFECT pumpkin. It was so fun to see what they choose. Rylee of course choose the BIGGEST pumpkin. I think Coop one the award for the coolest pumpkin, look how cool the vines are on his. SOOO LOVED IT!!!

Fun with Friends!!!

We had such a fun afternoon with our friends, THE TOONE'S (Ryan, Brooke, Jake, Coop, Mae and Garrett) . We watched the 2nd session of conference together and then went up to walk along the wetlands. It was such a fun, relaxing day hanging out with them. We love you guys!!!!

The kids are such good buddies, I love the pictures of their sweet friendship.

OH MY HEAVENS...THE COLORS!!!

We have lived away from Utah, WAY TO LONG!! Living in California, I missed the colors that fall would bring....I was soo excited when the colors started changing on the mountains. I took the kids up through the canyon to Snow Basin to experience the beautiful colors of fall. It did not disappoint, so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Here are some fun pictures of our day....

This is Snow Basin

Don't you love the shot Morgan took of me trying to get through the fence..thanks for the graceful shot, sweetie!!!

This was in the Ogden Canyon...SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

SERIOUSLY..STAY CLEAN!!!

So, if I say.."We are leaving in 10 minutes, you can go outside and play, BUT DON'T GET DIRTY".....you would automatically think, "oh let's play in the mud"!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!

With church clothes on....REALLY?!?!?!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!!!
