SAND DUNES!!

We had to get in one last camping trip of the season so over UEA we went up to the Sand Dunes, it was CRAZY busy up there but luckily we found a great little spot for Caleb to learn to ride his dirt bike for the 1st time!! I got it on video but of course I do not know how to load it on here. That kid picked it up like a pro and rode for hours, no joke!! I am so proud of him and pray that he will always be SAFE because I am not going to get him off that bike!!

The kids could have done this for hours! Peyton LOVES to ride with her Daddy and always wants him to go faster and Caleb loves to ride with his Daddy!!

Love them!!

BREAKFAST WITH THE WITCHES!!

We went last week to have breakfast with the witches (note to self NEVER go over UEA weekend) Seriously you could not even walk at that place we walked for about 5 min and said it was not worth it and we will come back later or maybe it was due to the fact that the kids kept going close to the water and every time we would tell them they were going to slip in and sure enough Hailey got a little close and slipped in!! The breakfast was fun for the kids and they had a good little entertainment. Caleb still is talking about how one of the witches brought a boy on stage and made him kiss her he got a good little giggle out of that!! How could you not love Halloween so many fun things to do!!

I think my kids wanted their picture at every little spot possible!!

Kam, Hailey, Little Miss Witch and Caleb at the breakfast.

Peyton did not want to be anywhere near the "real" witch

Caleb on the "boy side" and the girls on "their side"

He was looking at this picture and was like I can't wait until Chase is old enough to be on my side!! Notice Peyton will go by this weird looking witch but not a real one!!

6th ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY!!

We had our annual Halloween party this year! I made the kids each pick 10 friends and that was it, the previous year we were getting 35+ kids and it was becoming to much!! We searched for eyeballs in a pot of brains, we played musical numbers, and decorated cookies. It was a successful party and can't wait for next year!! In the words of my VERY tired 3 year old "thanks Mom that was the best party ever"

The whole gang

The only picture I could get of my skeleton.

All he wanted to do was play football with the boys!

Caleb, Zach & Tyson

I had the Halloween party early this year because I made pillow cases for all the kids, so I wanted them to be able to sleep with them for the month of October. I found a cute little poem to go with them and made Halloween soaps! Purple sparkle bats for the girls and green frankensteins for the boys!!

SUPER STAR!!

At dance they named Peyton the SUPER STAR of the week!! This means they were the best dancer and listener, she was soooo excited to show me her star and tell me ALL about it!!

Peyton with her SUPER STAR!!

To finish it off Caleb and Peyton doing some SUPER moves their selfs!

TOUCHDOWN!!

Caleb started flag football this year and he is LOVING it, loving it is a understatement this kid has a football in his hand now 24/7 and Quinn and him are constantly running plays mostly in my house!! He is working very hard at becoming fast and catching. His coach called me the other day to tell me that he is the best hussler and listener, keep up the good work buddy!!

REALLY MY BABY IS IN PRESCHOOL!!

My baby just started preschool!! I begged and pleaded with Quinn not to make me put her in Preschool this year but obviously you can see who won this fight! I was soooo sad that morning I cried when I did her hair, when she was getting dressed and when I dropped her off (all with out her seeing of course). She was so scared the whole week before she would tell everyone she was "going to school but my Mommy is staying with me" So the night before I came up with a plan, it was going to be hard enough dropping her off let alone if she was screaming for me so I told her if she would go to school all by herself and not cry I would let her pick any toy she wanted when she got home and it worked!! She loved school did not cry once, and loves her teacher. So of course we went and picked out the toy and then went to lunch with Papa and Grandma and then went and got Ice Cream. When she got home I asked her if she made any new friends and she said yes, so I was all excited and I said what is her name and she responds my teacher Mrs. Aldridge! This girl loves adults, kids not so much, maybe she will be real mature when she is older!! The next time she went to school I went and picked her up and the first thing she says is "let's go get another toy I did not cry today" we quickly had to put that to a stop!!

I love this one, it is in her classroom and look how excited she is!! They got to bring show and tell so what girl does not want to show off her lip gloss!!

She is such a poser, I told her to smile and here are all the poses she comes up with

Kiss, Kiss

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Wow, we have been with no internet for like a month, how did we ever survive before..lol!!

So once a month we have decided to take the 5th wheel out and visit all different campgrounds here in Utah. So we went to one in Provo it was really nice and after dinner we up to Bridal Veil Falls. Quinn and Caleb hiked up to the top but me and Miss Peyton stayed at the bottom and splashed in the water below!!

Of course he has to take his shirt off, it wasn't like the water up there is not FREEZING or anything! He really thinks taking his shirt off lately is cool!!
