LITTLE BALLERINA

Marissa had her ballet recital the other night.

She did a great job, she did 2 dances.

She had fun being a ballerina for the night.

Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving
this year. We were lucky to
have Gram and Pa with us.

We ate early so that Glen
could get to work then we
took the kids to see "Dispicable
Me". We practically had the whole
theater to ourselves and the
kids loved sitting on the
front row!
Later that evening we had to keep
with tradition and make our
gingerbread houses.

Trip to Utah

A few weeks ago the kids and I made our annual October trip to Utah.
We had a great time! We were having so much fun that we decided
to stay an extra day and come home Monday instead of Sunday.
     The kids had a sleep-over at Aunt Melissa's while I went to
Park City with some friends. They had a blast! Cade said he
stayed up all night.;) They got to see one of Quinns football games.
The highlight for the boys was going to their first UNIVERSITY
OF UTAH FOOTBALL GAME!! 
Thanks Pa for taking them.:) Cade and Corban really enjoyed it
even though it was pouring rain. 
The kids all wanted to go to eat at Chuck-a-Rama so one
 night the whole family met up for dinner. Little bit chaotic with 11 kids!
Gram took the kids to the pumpkin patch and we had fun picking out the perfect pumpkin.

Sunday night we all met at Melissa's house for dessert and let the kids play.
Of course a highlight of the trip for me was seeing baby Trevan!!
He has gotten so big. He is so cute!

We loved seeing everyone and playing with all the cousins, it was a good trip.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We took the kids to the trunk-or-treat at the church on Sat. night.
Then on Sunday they had fun passing out the candy.

 

      This year the kids wanted to paint faces on

their pumpkins instead of carve them. (Less of

a mess -so fine by me:) )

When I used to scrapbook I would do a page for each kid
that described them at that age in their lives.
Since I don't scrapbook any more
I decided to post it on the blog.

Gram & Pa 's visit

Gram and Pa came to stay with us for the weekend. The kids were so excited! On Saturday we had a busy day of going to soccer and football games. Sunday we went up on the Mesa and had a picnic and saw all the beautiful colors of the leaves. Then we ended up at the apple festival in Cederedge and got some delicious apples.

                             

                                

We always love it when they come visit us & we miss

                                                         them when they leave!
