We went to the festival of trees in Salt Lake City and visited with Terry and Jeff and saw Kenny, and Akemi in there concert it was lots of fun.

We also went to Temple square and saw the lights it was beautiful!! I never get tired of seeing the lights!!

Fun at Kris's

I went to Salt Lake this past weekend to shoot pictures. (Suprise right!) I stayed at Kris's house and we had so much fun we had a REAL Girls Night out. It was so fun I think it should be done on a weekly basis! I've decided Kris needs to move closer to me Salt Lake is just too far for once a once- a- week night out!

I took pictures of Kris's kids so of course we had to play on the toys near her new house. It was to much fun! I went down the slide and had to climb the monkey bars! I felt just like a kid again.

I handed off my camera to Eric and had him take some pictures of Kris and I - Its been a long time since Kris and I have had pictures of just the two of us. - ( I can now use the frame that has been collecting dust for way to long!!

Johnny did not want to get left out of the pictures.

Damien preschool had a Halloween carnival the kids played lots of games and came home with lots of goodies!









Kelly and Laura had a Halloween party we had lots of fun Kelly went as a Biker Guy and I went as a "Cereal Killer"



Kaitlyn and Damien had lots of fun pulling out the "guts of there pumpkins and Kaitlyn decided that they tasted preety good too.
We went Trick-or-Treat at Taylors crossing in Idaho Falls the kids made out like little bandits. They have so much candy that I think I will have enough for the next 5 holidays - Can you put gummy ghosts in Christmas stockings?

Playing in the Leaves

Braden , Damien and Kaitlyn had so much fun playing in the leaves. Kelly got off work early (because of the wind) and convinced the kids to help him rake the leaves. So of course they had to pile them up and jump in the leaves! They had so much fun - Braden did a flip and landed in the leaves. Yes my heart is still beating just a l

Kaitlyn 2nd Birthday

Kaitlyn had fun for her birthday at Grandma Joy's house. She recieved lots of fun presents from her aunts, uncles, Grandma and Grandpa.










Her favirote toy
has to be ALL THREE doll babies. We are not allowed to go anywhere without at least one baby (in her case all three!)



I love the bare feet to help keep the presents up.







Grandpa and Damien helped Kaitlyn blow out the candles - You would think from being there that Damien was in charge of everything. Helping Kaitlyn open presents to making sure she blew the candles out correctly!












We had to think about the candles before blowing them out.

Honey Hunt

Damien had a "B" Day at preschool today. He got to take his bear and they had a Hunny Hunt at school. Mom's were even invited. Each bag of Honey Treats were Honey comb cereal the kids were so excited!!

Damien and his Friend Rainey were acting like Bears.

The kids had fun looking for "Honey"

Damien first day of school! It is a tradition that my mom started when we were kids to take a picture in front of the house we were living in on the first day of school so I have continued it! Kaitlyn couldn't be left out of the pictures she was so proud of her new outfit too.

Damien was so excited he was up way to early and is dissapointed when Thursday comes because it is not a "School day". He loves it his first week has been with the letter A and so he made applesauce at school and we had to take a picture of an alligater! I had to reach into my personal photo archives and believe it or not I found a picture of lots of alligators! He is very ready for Monday when he goes back to school - (So is mommy!!)

Feeding the Ducks

Damien and Kaitlyn and I went to Idaho Falls and we fed the ducks. Hot dog buns and Hamburger buns that are stale are great duck food. The kids had so much fun chasing the ducks as soon as they ran out of bread.

First Time

Well this is a first for me I am trying out the blogging world. My best friend Kris and my sister Wendy have finally convinced me it is time to start something new.

Braden started school Thursday. I can't believe it he started 5th grade! He was so excited to get to ride the bus. He even told me he didn't want me to take him to school because he was going to ride his new bike that he got for his birthday to school and he was going to figure out which bus he was supposto ride without his mom! It was hard and at the same time I am proud of him for getting to school on the first day without help (When did he get so big?). Damien and Kaitlyn are feeling a little lost without there big brother to play with them. Damien keeps asking when do I get to go to school? He doesn't start preschool until the 2nd of September. Then Kaitlyn and I will have 2 1/2 hours all to ourselves what will we do? Hee! Hee!
