Dangit, My messages didn't match up with the pictures! Sorry!!!

Fun w/ the Fam'

Grammy, come back!!! We miss you already!!!!


Kids read w/ Grammy each night.


Bought belly-dancing skirts at the Renaissance Festival in Vegas. There were some CRAZY people there! Darius complained the entire time about the heat and the crowd. Special.


We went to the BYU-UNLV football game. BYU crushed them. We had a great time - ate way too much Kettle Korn, though.


What would a trip to Tracy and Jason's be without smore's in the backyard!! We love them!!!!

We made it to the apple orchard, check...got that off the list. My friend had this brilliant idea to go on a sunny Saturday...not so smart since everyone else in Livingston County had that same idea also. We waited 15 minutes in line for an apple bag, and then had to wait for at least 15 more minutes to get some hot cider & donuts. Nothing beats warm, fresh out the oven, apple cinnamon sugar donuts. Well worth the calories! Luckily, there wasn't a wait to get on the tractor to pick apples, so off we went. Oh, how fun it was holding Marley against her will as she tried to shimmy out of my grasp so she could run free on the tractor. Uuughhhh. I cannot wait for this stage to be over! Here are the memories we captured...

Marley has a little interest in the potty now. Here is Ky, being the greatest brother ever, and reading to her as she does her business


Last of all, we tried a recipie for pumpkin flavored playdoh! It was so fun & smells so yummy! We didn't have the right color of food coloring for the orange (dangit), so it is a funky green color. Oh well, the kids love it still!

Pumpkin Playdoh:
5 1/2 c flour
2 c salt
8 tsp of cream of tartar
3/4 c oil
1 container (1 1/12 oz) of pumpkin pie spice
orange food coloring (red mixed with yellow)
4 c water
...mix all together, and heat on stove on medium heat until it thickens

Disney Land!!

That is a true smile!!

Disney Land!!

Yes we had a blast of course..Shelby and Mom came down one day to play..Tinker Bell to Handy Manny she loved them all!!!

So flippen proud of DARIUS.....

Going to Darius' baptism was even BETTER than Disneyland. The program was so loving and it was so amazing to be a part of such a great day with him. The afterparty was amazing afterwords where Jarom and Shelby's extended family showed up and got to visit for hours. It was such a wonderful day and we loved every minute of it! Darius should be mine!

I got skillets with putting in these pictures. We just got back from Disneyland for two days compliments of Jason's workplace. We had so much fun and started having withdrawals from the magic of the place the very next morning when we had to leave. Two days was plenty of time though for me to keep up with Jason's pace going from ride to ride. He wore the kids and I OUT! Funny how that works out.
