P365

My motivation is starting to dwindle on these, but I don't have much time left until the year is up... so I need to catch up and finish! :)



Today was Spencer's last flag football game. He did really good! It will be kind of sad not to come and cheer him on as a family anymore.

Today Spencer wanted me to take a picture of his flag football trophy that he got.

Our cute pumpkin we did for Halloween.

Spencer's first pinewood derby. He was working on his car for a long time and was so excited to race it.

Carly loves helping me make breakfast.

Our ward party was tonight and so we got the kids all dressed up and ready to go for the trunk or treat. I love this picture.

For Halloween today the kids school was featured on the local news. We sent them to school early for a chance to be on T.V. and look at Spencers moment in the spotlight. He was one of the few students they zoomed in on and boy was he excited!

I finished Kyle's blanket (finally) just in time for the end of the football season. :) Something about pregnancy sickness makes you want to just lay around and not do anything-especially sew. But Kyle was patient with me.

Continuing to catch up....


This morning for YW, we woke up early and kidnapped our newest Beehive. It was a lot of fun to surprise her and have a fun breakfast all together.

For FHE tonight, we joined all the other Mormon families in Salt Lake doing the same thing and went to Gardner Village to check out their witches. It was fun though and the kids loved finding all the witches.

I am loving that Spencer has started playing football with his friends after school at our house. It's so much better than always begging to play the Wii or something. They are pretty good about doing other things, but sometimes they get on a kick where it's the cool thing to do (video games) and it's nice to be in a different phase for now.

Kyle and I flew to San Antonio today for a little get away/work conference. It was nice to be able to just take it easy and not have any plans. This pic is at the Riverwalk mall which was one of our favorite places to go since it was right across from our hotel and it had easy access to the Riverwalk. Love that place!

Walked to the Alamo today and did some other fun things.

Last day in San Antonio. We went on the Riverwalk one last time before we had to catch a taxi to the airport.

The kids had "Wear Red Day" for Red Ribbon week today.

For UEA we went to Moab with my parents. Today we hiked up to Delicate Arch. It was a really fun trip! Spencer was so excited to hike up here to the arch that is on our license plate.

(And I'm not editing the pictures so that I can try to catch up with these so, yes that's a finger in the picture-ha!)

Another fun hike we did today.

I will get caught up on these... so I am not going to be editing them- adding numbers and all that .
Another picture of our poor pumpkins. Headed towards the grave for sure.

Spencers been playing on a flag-football team this fall and he loves it. It's been so fun to go and watch him play!

Tonight I was in charge of a Modesty Party for the YW. It turned out so much better than I thought it would and with all the work that I put into it, this is the only picture I took of the decorations- with my phone! I was just so busy that I forgot. Oh well.

Took this picture of this bush in our neighbors yard. I think they are so pretty and fall-like.

Parker and I love to go on walks in our neighborhood. We always have to stop at this house and look for fish in the little river. The owners of this house put in so much time in their yard and it shows. They do a great job of making it a highlight of our walks! :)

Went to Wheeler Farm with the cousins tonight. I had to take a picture of them all holding hands, even if it was getting a little dark.

General Conference and that means BINGO time.

Carly and her uber curly hair that she wanted for school today.

It rained on and off today and when we went outside, I saw these little drops of water on the flower leaves.

P365 I will never catch up posting these!

Today Parker and I went on a little field trip to the local firestation. It was so much fun and Parker is still talking about it (almost a month later).

Parker is our wanna-be rock star. He turns so many things into "guitars". This is one of them.

Made my dad's famous salsa today... and the onions get me every time!

We pulled out some of Spencer's old toys and all the kids have been kept entertained ALL day with them.

Our poor pumpkins. They have this white powdery mildew stuff on them and they are dying. :(

Getting ready for the big BYU-Utah game this week. Our neighbors got a neon Y sign, so we had to do something else. :)

Cheering on the Utes.

Look what I found in our "Friend" magazine today. Awww... (It says "all moms are great")

Another day at our house where we have a bunch of kids in our backyard. It get's a little crazy, but it's fun!

MishMash of the last couple months

Sometimes because of my picture a day thing, I don't post other pictures that have other great memories associated with them. So, I'm posting a few of them now. :)

Family picture in Hinckley.

Birthday boy and birthday cake. (It is an alligator if you couldn't tell).

Carly before the neighborhood bike parade. That's a flower on top of her head.

Cute picture of Kyle's mom and me.

Parker was playing in the dirt/mud and fell over on his face....

One of my new favorite pictures of Kyle. Biking around Fishlake.

Waiting on the Alpine Slides in Park City.

Trying to lug the sleds around and get them on the track.

On the dreaded chair lift... dreaded by me. I hate those things!

Self portrait by the river.

HAHAHA! Having fun at Fishlake.

Can you see that snake? I was at Kami's house and we had an encounter with this guy. He was atleast 3 feet long, but probably more because we couldn't see the end of him. YIKES!

The group of kids at the firestation- right after we saw the firetruck leave to go on a call. Sirens blaring and all.

Riding ponies at the carnival for the school.

The "UP" house on Labor Day.
