This Little Piggie....

I thought long and hard over what our office staff could be for Halloween. Finally...THE THREE LITTLE PIGS...! How perfect! Thanks to everyone for being such great sports! We had a great time and the kids LOVED it!

Autumn, DeAnne, and Melissa

The 3 lil' pigs and the Big Bad Wolf (aka Mr. Stone)In order to include everyone in our insanity we kind of mixed some fairy tales together. Here we are with the 3 Lil' Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, the Woodsman (aka James), Granny (aka Ms. Ralphs), and Little Red Riding Hood (aka Mrs. Davison...our original Little Red (Mrs. Stone) was home sick with the Swine Flu so luckily Lindsay had the same cute costume!)I had to include this picture of Mr. Stone. He was a great sport! The kids LOVED it that he dressed up!

Happy Halloween!!

Round 2

Let's try this again....

Since Jace reached the magical age of 7 we decided to try Karate again. He has been begging for a solid year. He has promised-no ninja meltdowns-only big boy attitude! We're excited to try again and hope that his experience with Karate will be as positive as Easton's has been!

*this means 6 hrs of karate a week for mom as opposed to 4---i must be crazy*

Will They NEVER Grow up?!

What would a girls night out be without laughing so hard your stomach hurts!?

Jenny, Kerrieleigh, and I decided to pop into one of the stores at the Gateway after dinner the other night to check out some headbands. Needless to say we are WAY too old and mature for this store!!

7 Years Old!

I can't believe our baby is 7 yrs old!! It was a big day for him! He is my guy who is always so eager to grow up...or maybe it just seems that way because I'm wishing for him to stay little.Jace might be the biggest "Super Mario" fan out there! He was super excited to find his gift. He also asked for "Bendaroos" (which are STILL on the way to our house according to Amazon!)

Elisabeth, Garet, Connor, Jace, Ashleigh, and Aaden..aren't they sweet!

Jace LOVES bowling. So no surprise he wanted to have his party at the Bowling Alley. We had pizza, presents, cake, and TONS of fun!The party guests showing their real personalities!A bowling birthday party wouldn't be complete without a bowling cake. Thanks Aunt Jacci for an amazingly yummy cake!! You're the best! And thanks to Aunt Bonnie for coming to the Bowling Alley on her day off for moral support! :)

Happy 7th Birthday Jacers!

Painting Skilz

The kids and I traveled to Blanding to take Nemi to meet her dad and while there my dad put me to work. The kids loved it that while I was painting they could walk across the street to the pool and swim til their hearts were content. On the other hand...not so sure my dad appreciated my painting skills...or lack thereof. Ha ha!!This picture didn't do justice to how black my feet/arms/hands/nose/chin were after spray painting a table black. However...my red wall...turned out fabulous! Maybe I should stick with the paint brushes!
