Happy Halloween!

Our 3rd annual Halloween party was a hit! We love Halloween time, mostly because we love throwing parties. We danced all of Tristen's friends ate and the rest of us talked and mingled. It has begun to be a tradition that hopefully will be pasted down. The older the kids get the more they will look forward to this time of year every year.
We also have all the other little parties like Maddy's gymnastic halloween party, our ward party, and of course Halloween night!

Girls Gettaway

So in the 6 years I've been married, I have never gone away on a girls getaway. I didn't realize that until we (my friend Alicia and I) started planning a trip. I found an awesome deal on a 2 night getaway in Park City. The resort was awesome and our days together were unforgettable. We went shopping, eat out, got dressed up and went out dancing but most of all we took some more than needed ME time! Being a mom and a wife or in Alicia's case having 5 jobs is exhausting and you end up going crazy if you don't take some sort of break. It was great to be with just the girls. Thanks Girls!

Happy Birthday Maddy!

Ok, so her birthday isn't til the 30th but this weekend was the only weekend we could have her party. She got the choice to have a Halloween birthday party like she's had since she was born or do something else. How did I know she wanted to do something else. She wanted to go to Jump On It that is a place where it's all about jumping on trampolines, bouncy houses, foam pits, you name it. So I took her and her friends and off we went. We came back to the house and had her favorite pumpkin pie and opened presents.

Maddy's new do for her 9th Bday!

My baby's turning 9 and she wanted more than anything to get her hair cut. I think she looks so much older with shorter hair. She begged and begged and I finally caved in.

Pumpkin Patch Time

l


Can you believe it's Halloween Time already. Time to go to the pumpkin patch, get costumes, and decorate the house. The years are flying by too fast. That's all I have to say.

Too much too little time

So I seriously have not had any time to blog. But I'm doing the best I can. Latest thing was Jon's hike up Mt. Timp which took them 5 hrs to get to the top. Tristen has been having problems with his knees and back with football so after an hour he headed back to the car. He invited some friends and took some beautiful pictures. They got up at 3am to watch the sunrise.
