Fall Is Here!

I dragged the whole family up the canyon yesterday so that I could take some pictures before all the leaves were gone! And let me tell you they didn't want to go! But they played the game just long enough for me to get a couple of smiles out of them! You would think that they would be used to me making them pose for pictures by now but I think they are started to rebel against the happy picture taking! Oh well I'm happy as long as I get one good picture...and I think I did!

Meet The Mormons

Cory and I took the kids to see Meet The Mormons movie during Fall Break! I cried my eyes out along with the boys, Elizabeth said that she was fighting off tears and Abby well Abby just shrugged and didn't know why any of us were crying! Of course it was a documentary and had no princesses in it so the simple fact that she tolerated the whole thing must mean that it was good! I loved it and so glade that I took the kids to see it!

Woman's Conference

My sister Cory is Amazing. She got us all tickets to go up to Salt Lake and planned for us to attend Woman's Conference. It was the best girls night out with my girls! We were inspired during and went to eat after the best of both! Thank you Cory for your superior planning skills!

One Last Pond Trip!

We fit in one last pond trip before it got too cold! We went with the Godfrey clan and Big Anderson clan. The girls were surprised when I picked them up from school to tell them to drop everything we were going to the pond one last time! It was a fun afternoon with our friends!

Chiari Walk

Elizabeth and I went and participated in the Chiari Walk a little while ago. It was a fundraising event to help support the research of Chiari. It was so much fun to do this with Elizabeth. They had a couple of pinatas for the kids, lots of things to bid on and win and we walked/ran for a couple of hours to help raise money. I got to meet other people with Chiari and hear their stories. It was a fun event that I think we will make a family event next year!

Josh With The Newest Doll In Our Family

Look they even have the same expression too! Cory found this hat and of course we had to get it for Miss Olivia! I think that Celeste is dressing her up like a Cabbage Patch Doll for Halloween...Can't wait to see her in it!

Hair Cuts, New Looks and School Pictures...Oh My!

I took the girls to get their hair cut at Sister Woolf's new work before they had to get school pictures done that week. The girls LOVED it! Abby decided that she wanted to try a straight hair look..Oh man is she ever my girly girl! Elizabeth of course wasn't playing the game of taking pictures!

For the actual school picture Abby went for her usual curls...she of course want to make sure everyone recognized her! And with that kind of logic who was I to ague with her? I think they turned out so cute but then again I am their mother....

Last Day Of Heaven!

Sadly it was the last day for the girls and I to get shaved ice at our favorite shaved ice stand...and yes this happened last month but still the thought of it saddens me, but this gives us something to look forward to next summer coming...yes my life is very small but just give me this one!

Hanging Out With Grandpa and Grandma!

I know that I've been so behind in my blog posts that I missed the whole month of September. So now I'm playing catch up! A while ago we took Mark and Trudy to Thanksgiving Point to go through the Museum of Curiosity. We had so much fun with them!

The girls LOVED that they could get Grandma to join them in ALL the activities...which included climbing up this spider web! It was a fun filled day that the girls still are talking about! Thank you Mark and Trudy for visiting with us!!
