Thanksgiving

We took a roadtrip to AZ for thanksgiving! It was so much fun seeing all the family.  My  brother-in-law and his family live in Mexico so we only get to see them about once a year. It is always so wonderful when we are together though.  I wish I had gotten more pictures but I kept leaving my camera at home or the batter was dead.  I got a few on the last day though!

…and then my children got ahold of the camera and started taking random pics…it’s always interesting what they find to shoot!

On the way out of town, we stopped and Jared flew his RC plane for Gma and Gpa to see.  Then we took a long drive home!

Happy Halloween

We had a couple parties and things that we did.  The first was a party at our house.  I took over for a friend, and she had most of the stuff prepared already which made it easy peasy for me! I loved it!  My kids were the princess and batman for this one!

The second was the Ward Trunk-Or-Treat. E was Rapunzel and G was batman again!

And the last was G’s Kindergarten class party and parade!

He was a pirate at this one and E wore her Snow White dress.. lol!IMG_9919IMG_9923IMG_9925IMG_9926IMG_9932IMG_9934

We went trick-or-treating with some friends that night!

E turned 3

We were going to have a party a couple days later, but I wanted her to have some kind of treat for her birthday.  I made a sheet sugar cookie and let them decorate a piece.  They were in heaven. I stuck a princess on it and called it her princess cake.  She didn’t care, she was in heaven and had SO much fun decorating and eating it!  She said “thankyou mommy for my princess cake!”

Any time Ella!! anytime. We didn’t end up having a party after all, but had lots of fun with camping with family the day before anyway.

End of Summer

We enjoyed some great camping/boa/fishing trips the last few weeks of summer with family and friends.
