Riley's 1st Field Trip

Riley had her first field trip for preschool at Dabb's Pumpkin patch! It was so much fun. She loved the "Pumpkin Man" as they called him which was Lyle Dabb with a Jack-O-Lantern on his head! She wasn't afraid I was so surprised. It was pretty cold and snowed on us for a bit, but we loved it. Riley had so much fun.

Girl Party (with just a few boys)

During the Priesthood session of conference we had a "Girl Party" with a few boys which would be Boston and Titan! The girls thought it was so much fun. I brought over my foot soak (which I wish I had more time to use), nail polish and some pedicure stuff. I used to be quite regular at giving myself pedicures pre-children! We also made a homemade face mask out of rolled oats and bananas and cut up cucumbers for an eye mask :)
Ashley had just had her spend-the-night with my mom and dad and she picked this little make-up kit, so she did everyone's make-up as well!

Pumpkin Patch

It is a tradition that the first Saturday in October we always visit Dabb's and pick out pumpkins...last year we were unable to go due to Boston being brand spankin' new so I was so excited this year! Riley was so cute and she couldn't decide which pumpkin she wanted, it was funny to watch her make up her mind. I can tell she is going to be like her mom...a little indecisive if you will!!! Boston just loved to play in them. We had a great time.

Boston's 1st Birthday

My baby boy turned one on October 1st! I can't believe it, time goes by so fast. Here he is enjoying his CAKE!!!
He was slow to start but had so much fun once he got going. This is his CIRCUS TRAIN cake. Can you say project????? This thing took me two whole days to make, but was well worth it, he loved it. The little caboose in the back has a little sculpture made from fondant that resembles Boston in bars as well, that was his smash cake. All the animals are made of fondant that I made the day before I actually decorated the cake. It took me until 2:00 am to bake all 5 of the cakes that were necessary to make it and the next day was spent frosting and sticking things on! By the time this picture was taken the smoke stack was starting to fall due to Riley bumping the table! It was on straight at one time I promise. I also had to put some video footage on of Bossy opening one of his presents. He was really cute and did a great job! This doesn't show it because by the time Jason got the camera going he had stopped, but he was pounding on this one and screaming as he opened it! It was absolutely darling. Oh how I love this little boy! Happy Birthday little man WE LOVE YOU and are so blessed to have you in our lives.

The Zoo

Every year on Labor Day we head to Utah's Hogle Zoo. Last year was FABULOUS it had rained that morning and when we got there there was hardly anyone there, it was quite cool and we had a ton a fun. This year....
we waited 45 minutes just to get in the door! Yes, that's right, 45 minutes. It was super hot and guess what? We still had a ton of fun!!!
F.Y.I. Ashley is hilarious!!! I am not going to say why, she just is and I love her to death :) Last year Riley was terribly afraid of the Chimps. Not this year! Yay I think that means she is growing up a little (sniff sniff). I am excited but not so excited about that.

Mine and Cassie's Birthday Dinner

Okay I realize that I have got to do something about my camera! I am working on it but for now I am posting my fuzzy pictures! This goes from left to right: Cassie, Carly, Crystal, me and angel Emily (due to the light right on her face!). We went to Goodwood for mine and Cassie's birthday and had so much fun. I love getting together with my friends and wish I could do it more often. Thanks girls it was a blast.

Riley's 1st Day of Preschool

I have got to either get a new camera or get my camera fixed because my phone is not working out for me:(...but this is Riley on the first day of preschool. She was so cute and so excited. She didn't even tell me goodbye when I dropped her off. She is getting so big and we are very proud of her. We love you Ri!!

Boston's First Haircut

These pictures are not super great in quality but they were the best we could do with my phone! Boston got his first hair cut. He was so cute but did not want to hold still. He loved the clippers though! I think the sound soothed him.
This is my little guy and me (I look fabulous don't I?) He ended up on my lap because he wouldn't hold still! You can barely see this one but it is Crystal and Boston. We are SO lucky to have Crystal she does such a great job! Thanks Crys.

My Birthday

This is my cute birthday cake that my sister Penni made for me! I had such a fun day and I am so lucky to have such good family and friends! Jason was very sweet and sold his fly rod (which was very dear to him) and gave me the cash to go buy some clothes! Thanks babe you are the best. Thanks to everyone again for the fantastic birthday.

THIS IS MIKE

So I need to clarify a few things. First of all, Jason does not "hate" water, he just doesn't like cold water and isn't much a of a "swimmer". Second of all, this is MIKE. He is fabulous and we love him. This is his fancy trick he did off the board at North Shore the night we went with our ward! Notice the position of Mike in comparison with the diving board....CLASSIC !

What a FUN Weekend

On Thursday we went to Surf 'n' Swim with Crystal and her girls Mayli and Breelyn! It was way fun, Riley loves hanging out with Mayli :)
Friday night was our Primary party at North Shore! It was a blast thanks to everyone who came. This is Riley and her friend Millie eating Creamies on the grass. I had something on my lense that's why the picture is foggy sorry!
This is my husband. Yes, Mike got my husband who hates water AND heights to go off the high dive, pretty funny! The next morning we had a ward breakfast....sorry it was too early to get pictures but was super yummy!
Saturday night was Jason's work party at the Raptors game! We had so much fun. Go Raptors it was a GREAT game.
It was a super fun but busy weekend! Now we can just relax for a little bit.

The Fair and the Derby or The Derby and The Fair

Our family is a big fan of the Demolition Derby at the Fair! We usually go to the Fair just for the derby. Here are some pics of our last adventure...my mom and dad give Jason tickets ever year for Father's Day! Thanks Mom and Dad we had so much fun.
This is the beauty contest...my vote was for the shark car (which you can't really see in this!)
Me, Riley, Boston, Brynn and Ashley waiting for the Derby to start. It was very cold this year!
Here is Riley riding the rides that cost a minimum of $3 at the Fair. She got to choose two and the other one she chose.....
The swings, they have to be her favorite of all rides I must say.
Here she is milking a cow! I have never even done that, so fun.
The petting zoo. Jason wouldn't feed the animals he said something about a goat licking his hand just wasn't for him! I loved it though.
This is a big Yak they had there.
