Halloween 2010

Joshua Wan Kenobi

My mom is such a good support and super amazing for being able to handle all this each day. 

 Playing at recess

 Darth Ammon

Cousin Ella and one of her baby twin sisters Brooklyn (well, maybe its Audrey).  Ella was the cutest zoo keeper and her sisters were little monkeys

Cousin Ryan in the warmest and coolest Woolly Mammoth costume ever

 

And Blues Clues ate candy all night long

First Snow

 Our first snow this year came in October.  It's always exciting and seems too cold to want to go outside so when Ammon wanted to go play in it I tried to talk him out of it.  Then I realized what a mean mom I was!  I just didn't want to clean up the mess that comes inside after playing in the snow.  Needless to say I repented from my ways and helped Ammon dig out all his snow gear and let him play as long as he wanted.  

So cute.

Trafalga

We have been getting our money's worth out of Trafalga's pass-of-all-passes this year.  It's so nice to have somewhere to go and get the kids out of the house.  We have a lot of pictures from different trips there:

They get absolutely soaked on these things

This is the first time they ever played laser tag.  We were the only ones there and they stood there and shot each other the whole time.

 They love mini-golf and I figured out really fast that it's just best to let them do whatever they want and to not bother with any of the rules of the game. 

 Lincoln by his namesake:

GNO & Boys Only Club

 

One of the best things in life must be having great friends with whom you can laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

 

This GNO up in beautiful Park City was unbeatable.  Suzy-ing-yo's anyone?

 

 We stayed up way too late talking, thinking we could just sleep in right?  I think we were all up by 7:00am.  When we did finally go to bed the blankets were pulled down to find this...

 

...eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!  

Someone left their black bra behind!   We questioned the cleanliness of the whole room and ended up getting a free night because the bed sheets obviously weren't changed.  Once we got over the initial shock we all managed to sleep just fine because the rooms really were very nice.

 

Owwww!

 

We spent the next day shopping around historic PC, and then finished off with the outlets. 

 

And while I was gone, what does my awesome husband do?  He takes the boys and their cousins on a great hike up to Stewart Falls.  

Dave never misses a chance to have boy time with his sons

The must be one of the most beautiful states:

I could have a weekend like this every 7 days.  Thanks girls!!  And Dave :)

Kissing Cousins

Homework

Josh does a great job doing his homework. It always warms my heart to see him working away.

 

Childhood

Some cute neighborhood kids on a warm fall day 

Baby Shower

 We had to celebrate the coming of Diana's beautiful twin girls

 The Grandma's

 Some of the cute onsie creations

 My favorite onsie creation.  Made by my 7 year old niece Alisha.  Right before she ironed it down Diana ran back and got her a 'special' onsie she could use.  So cute ;)

What Happened in August:

 We sent Josh to school like this and it didn't even phase him

 I pretty much like everything about this picture.  These are the days I stand back and smile at my sweet boys and think about how great it is to be a mom.  The kids improvised a Star Wars battle with every thing they could find in the garage.  I love how Lincoln want to be in the middle of it all. 

 Dave has to be the coolest babysitter ever.  Here he is entertaining the cousins on a friday night. 

Really fun boat ride with really fun friends, the Ruffs.  Happy Birthday Briggs :)

 Ammon's first day of 4-year old preschool

 Went to the Zoo with John and Anne

I love it when this happens.  Long day at the zoo = naps in the car.
