Busy Times

I was able to go with Hunter to the farm for his school field trip. I love hanging out with this cute little guy. He is not afraid of anything. Too bad the Farmers Head is in the way. Hunter was feeding the horse a carrot.



Gracie joined me and Hunt at the farm.


Her favorite animal was the bunnies. She was petting them forever.
She is checking out the animals. They have lots of different animals donated to them.



Hunter and his best friend!


This weekend Travis and I went to our wards Youth Conference. It was awesome. The youth are great. This is the view from where we stayed. Beautiful and only 20 minutes from my house.

Happy Birthday Gracie

This is my Gracie a year ago! She sure has grown.She was the funniest girl back then. She had to suck on her binkie with the loop tucked under her nose. If you pulled it out she'd push it back under her nose.

Now she is our cute little 2 year old! We love you Gracie. Happy Birthday to you, Gracie! She loved everyone singing to her.
Time to blow out the candles.

"I'll help Gracie" Hunter and Lucy were the ones to blow them out this year. Frosting licking time!

To Grandmothers House We Go

My parents needed someone to go pick up the travel trailer at the cabin. They thought we would like to do that for them and as an added bonus they would watch the kids. We were all for that. Who would take free babysitting for the weekend!

We arrived up at the cabin to be greeted by a special sign on the kitchen table. My Grandmother made this sign specially for me. I am the only one to have been honored by my own sign up there.

We had just missed fall up there. The aspen trees were already bare. It is so beautiful up there.

This is the only heating source up there. It was 40 degrees when we arrived at night. This is what it was before we left. Needless to say I slept in 3 layers of clothing!! I am pushing for a bigger stove.
We had fun! It is so nice to have a weekend away from it all. Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

Scout O Rama

We went to Scout O Rama on Saturday. It was hot, but fun! Tyler got to help at the stake booth making marshmellow shooters. After that we walked around and got to see all the other cool things. Tyler liked the Scout Wars booth. He made a darth vader puppet.
That is Hunter!! Not the best picture. These kids move too fast to the next thing.

Soap carving


Hunter got to play while Tyler was helping.



The girls were just hanging out in the shade with Mom! It was 94 degrees. Can you say HOT!




I love the boots!!




Another one of Hunter playing. He almost didn't do the rope bridge. He was proud of himself when he finished.

Halloween

This is our Halloween. It started with trunk or treat the weekend before and ended Halloween night. This kids had a blast and now are hyper with too much sugar in them.

Our little Cinderella


Sleeping beauty! She wouldn't wear the crown we made her oh well!

Tyler didn't want to pose for this picture. He wanted to go off with his friends.

Crime Lab

We went to the new crime lab. Thanks to Chris we got to go see it without waiting 2 hours. It was neat to see all the different areas. Travis especially liked the ballistics area Chris works in. A Police event wouldn't be complete without the donut table! Tyler had his fair share of Donuts.



The DUI van was there outside. This was the only time they are allowed in there!
