Halloween!

What a fun Halloween!

Zac was Dash and London was Alice.

I had many grad ideas, but being 8-weeks prego took control. So I was a gypsy one night and pebbles another. Hope everyone had a great day!

I've discovered the "joy" of being a landlord. Three water leaks in one month. . . I'm done with it!!!


















Saying goodbye to one of our missionary friends.


















Charlise right before her soccer game. Cute bows that one of the moms made for the whole team, huh!?












Off to school!

Party Pics

So here are some pics of the party decor!!

Summer Update!g

So i love my "hood" here they are running in the rain!!

London is 5..cant believe it. She wanted a witch party! We did witch hats, ghost nails, and spookey games..lol she is weird! But i love her..she had a blast!

Zac had his 1st day of preschool a few weeks ago..only cried one day, and has been great every since. So cute.love that boy!

We Love Four Seasons Preschool!

Mikey's first day of school was today. And boy, what a difference a year makes! Last year Mikey had to be carried into the room and we had to distract him with the room pets and make a quick get away when we dropped him off.

This year, Mikey was the first student in the building and the last one to leave the classroom.

Next year it's Kate's turn!

26.2! We did it

Not to toot our own horn ...but..toot..tooot

We ran 26.2 . The Wasatch Back Marathon provided too many hills and limited supplies!!
We ran miles 11-22 on a rocky path, up to 8000 ft elevation! I love my sista for doing this with me, we had no idea what we were getting out selves into, but hey we did it and are still alive!!

Eli's Day!

Here's our big boy!!! After getting completely lost and showing up 30 minutes late, Tracy gave an AWESOME talk at his baptism! We were SO glad they found the place!
Jamie watching her cute kids! Wait, where's Zak!!!?? Oh, that's my trick. Losing track of my kids. . .
Even though Galen only stayed for a day, the kids were SO happy to see him! They love their uncle Galen. He learned the hard way to never go to Magic mountain on a weekend, on a sunny day, or in the middle of summer break. Only got to ride 3 rides after being there ALL day. Insane!!!!
Eli had a fabulous day!!!
Tracy stealing the babies again. LOVED having you guys here!!!! Missed you guys Joni, Derek, & kids, Mattson, Jason, Ross & Jazzy. Love you guys all madly!!!

Cali Vacation!

LOVE this one of Marley showing off her new swimsuit! Zak think she looks cute.
Cousins playin' in the ocean! Loved it, even though Jamie got a ticket this day. Stinkin' California traffic cops - 6 minutes too late!
Lovin' some Aunties and Grammy hugs!
Can I keep these two? Come on Alie, you've got two other ones!?
Boys favorite past-time. . .

Summer begins!

Just some pics of the kids goofing around.

Katie's t-shirt says "here comes trouble" I had to get it for her.

Weeee!

Ooops!

I ran my first 5k. It was a beautiful day for running cross country... yes, over grassy fields, through the woods, over a couple bridges... I tripped a couple times but didn't fall. Completed the race in 30:38 :) I'm hoping my next 5k is on paved roads.

Yup, it's official.

I had to ask where to put my chip.

1.5 miles in and smiling.

Sorry its been a while! Here we are at Thomas the train!

We found this nest in our garden today!! Maybe visitors soon!
Zac on his new bike

I was Eli's art teacher for the second year in a row (volunteer). They display all the kids' work at the end of the year for open house. Here's our masks we made. Eli's is the green one.
Another pic from San Diego. Kids' first time on a boat!
Here's "after" the haircut!!!!
Here's the "before" shot!
This is our new family member. Cookie. Boy mix of chihuahua and greyhound, we think! He is so perfect! No accidents in the house and no biting!!! Did we luck out or what!!!!!?????

Mikey's Concert

Today was Mikey's last day of school and the kids put on a little concert for us. They were so cute! Mikey knew all the words to the songs and all the dance moves. He's very talented.

Katie brought her "noculars" so she could see Mikey. She didn't need them since we were seated in the front row.

The first song was an "ant" song

Mikey doing the "numbers rumba"

The teddy bear song

Mikey and his teachers, Mrs. Olinski and Mrs. Robb

For teacher "Thank Yous" I made them each a bookmark and got them gift cards to Barnes and Noble. Mikey picked the blue one for Mrs. Olinski and the black one for Mrs. Robb. I'm keeping the green one :)

I've been wanting a "flat" belt, so I whipped one up over the weekend. It's fun and summery!
