Happy Birthday Addison


Wow! Where did the year go. Addison turned one on October 16th. She had so much fun eating her cake.

Addie is opening her presents with a lot of help from Gabe

Family Pictures

My cousin Lori took some pictures of our family. Here are just a few of them. She took so many cute ones it was hard to decide which ones to post. Thanks a ton Lori you did a wonderful job.

Is it Really October Already


Every year we go to the same pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. It is so fun. They have about ten tractors that the kids can play on, and a fun cornmaze that I don't get lost in.

The Zoo


We love the zoo. Every time we go they have updated something. Gabe always loves riding the train. I thought Addie would like it more, but she didn't seem to get all that excited about the animals. Maybe next year.

So I haven't exactly been lazy. My computer has been broken for almost two months. Here is a bunch of stuff to catch me up for the rest of the summer.

First Day of School


I can't believe Gabe is already in preschool. Here is a picture of him and his teacher Mrs. Brooksby. He is loving school and I am loving the small break.

Go Utes!


Fall means football season at our house.

Summer is Over

This summer went to quick. We were able to go camping a few times, go to the cabin, go to St. George twice, and just have lots of fun together. I always hate August because that means I have to go back to school and spend less time with my kids. Here are some of the things we did this summer.

Hiking to Donut Falls

Oh-How I Hate Grass


Addie cannot stand to be set down on the grass. I love this picture of her because you can really see how much she hates the grass.

Silver Lake

Just Having Fun

The Pretty Petal


I got together the other day with my old friend Suz. She and her sister started their own company making hats, headbands, flowers, and bows. Here is a picture of Addie wearing one of her darling flowers and headband. If you want to take a look at their website it is www.theprettypetal.com. They have way cute stuff.

Camping in the Uintah's


Every 4th of July we go camping in the Uintah's. Most of my brothers and sister come. Here is a picture of Darin, Gabe, and Addie going on a 4-wheeler ride.

Roommate Reunion


I got together with my old roommates from college. It was so fun to get together again. It was great to see their husbands and kids. It doesn't seem like any of us have changed a bit.

This is What Summers are Made For


Hanging with my cousins

Swimming in St. George.

Sliding on Grandma's slide

Strawberry Days Rodeo


We had a great time at the rodeo. Gabe said his favorite part was the motorcycle jumpers who did the half time show. My favorite part of every rodeo is watching the kids ride the sheep.

Copper Mine


So I have lived in Utah all my life and I've never been to the Bingham Copper Mine. It is practically in my backyard. It was fun to see it once. Here's a picture of my mom with the kids in front of a huge tire, and Gabe, Kenzie, and Dylan in front of the big hole.

It's a Pirate's Life for Me!


For my dad's birthday we had a big Pirate Party. It was really more for the grandkids than for him, but we all had fun.

Like Father Like Son


With an accident prone father, I've been waiting for the day Gabe would have his first broken bone. He broke his leg on a trampoline. They waited about four days to cast it. Since then he has done great. It hasn't slowed him down a bit. This picture is of Darin's arm when he broke it long boarding.

Bling-Bling


I've been debating whether or not I should pierce Addie's ears. So on Saturday I finally did it. She looks so cute.

Hangin' By the Pool


Last weekend we went to St. George. The weather was beautiful. We didn't want to come home to the snow.

Hiking to Red Cliff Canyon


While we were in St. George we went on a hike to Red Cliff Canyon. It was a lot of fun. As soon as we got to the waterfall we got Addie out of the backpack and she had exploded. Darin had to hike back to change her diaper.

My Darling Baby Girl


I just thought Addie looked so cute before church, so I had Darin take this picture of us together.
