Every year since tracks was built we have gone up to Salt Lake to see the lights. In years past we have had lots of family with us. But because of the ever changing lives of others it's just us this year.Kate was so excited. I think this is the first year she can really enjoy it.
The kids love that they could stand up

I love to walk around to see all the different nativities

Just the cutest FAMILY EVER

And what is the light without the red tree

I hope all is well this season and if you get the chance to see the lights to do it. We are so lucky to live so close to this beautiful place.

The kids love to have sleepovers so on Friday night we let them. I love that they love to be with each other and I hope that they will do it forever. It is so precious to see them together. Plus this is the one time I realize how much I love them.
They all just fell asleep before the night even got started

This year was great because i didn't buy any costumes. I made Maddie's, Bridger's was Maddie's old costume, Kolby's was Bridger's, and Kate's was Maddie's old one with some new fixings. We had a lot of fun this year. The kids like always got way to much CANDY.

Piano Time

It was a dress up piano recital. It was great because we didn't have to wear our church cloths. The kids really enjoyed having it this way. Everyone did such a great job. I love watching them get better and better at things. They our way more talented then I ever was. Maddie Played "Jumping Jazz Cat"

Bridger he played "Indian Dance"
The whole group. We have our cousin Ericell and lots of neighbor friends in this piano group.

Kolby, Mom and Kate
She couldn't believe how big they get
They loved these things

Kate's pre school class and the addition of Kolby

It's Kate's field trip to Pumpkin land. Me and Kolby came because it was in the afternoon. She was talking about it forever. I love watching how easy it is to make a small child happy. We had a lot of fun playing with each other in the corn maze, play grounds, eating snacks and picking out a pumpkin, which she packs all around the house every day now. I love to hang out with her and her crazy little things she does, I never stop laughing. Kolby thought he was the big man now. Because he is in kindergarten but he loved it just as much. I love my kids.

We went on our first camping trip with our home away from home. We went on Thursday night up to Jordenelle and stayed tell Saturday. It was so fun to be together and play games and just visiting. We had fun doing the camping things like football, skipping rocks, taking walks, gathering fire wood, playing phase ten, enjoying the fall color. This is the first of many trips and even I am excited to go camping now. We have a lot of fun trips planned for the coming years. It will be fun to share these moments with our kids.
