MAN PURSE!!!

Today Dawson was getting out of the shower and as he was doing so he yelled to Bryan. I was walking out of the bedroom and heard the following conversation....
Dawson- Hey dad can you get me a man purse?
Bryan- A what? At this point Bry looks my direction and I am busting up!
Dawson - A man purse!
Bryan- Whats a man purse?
Dawson- Ya know a thing to hold my cars collection.
Bryan- Oh. Where did you hear that?
Dawson- On Alvin and the Chipmunks, Dave has a man purse.
Bryan Oh well we'll see what we can do, maybe we can get a sack or something!
I was busting a gut! That kid is hilarious!!!

Grandma Ellens welcome home party

To end our Fall break we got to go to Grandma Ellens Welcome Home party on Sunday! It was a blast! Sorry no pics I guess I was having to much fun! We had dinner and played some fun games and I think we just wore Grandma right out! It was great to all be together and to have Grandma home. I just love her to pieces and am so grateful that my kids get to spend time with her. Ky was so cute with her. He kept leaning in and giving her muchies. He would smile real big after, which made Grandma giggle, so he would lean in and do it again! He had everyone in stitches!! I love that they adore her as much as I do.
Monday we headed home but not after hitting up the mall! It was a great Fall break!

Beckys Temple Day

One of my best friends, Becky, has been working towards the Temple for a while now. Well on Saturday evening she went through the Logan Temple!!! I would not have missed that for the world! I am so happy and so proud of her! It has been a long hard road for Becky and I am so blessed to have her in my life and to have been a part of that day with her. I love her! Words can't express how awesome it was to be with my friends in the Celestial Room. It was full of emotions and I don't think there was a dry eye amongst us! I am so grateful for the gospel and the testimony I have. I am eternally grateful for the amazing group of friends I have! My friends from California, Logan( who are spread all over now) and my Cedar friends, I am so blessed!Mandy, Becky, Anjie, Me and Heidi

Hee Haws!

Saturday was a great day! The weather was perfect Fall weather, so we decided on some perfect Fall fun. My sisters and I took our kids to Hee Haws. Hee Haws is a farm in Lindon. There was so much stuff to do! It was so much fun! They had pony rides, a trick or treat hay ride, animal petting area, corn box, Halloween jumpy thing, corn cannon, slides, tractor animal train, duck races, corn maze and hay jumping and the list goes on and on! Most important it had pumpkins!!!


Ky and me on the hay jump
The trick or treat hay ride was really cute. They had people dressed in Halloween costumes throughout the corn fields and they threw candy into the carriage! The kids thought that was great. They got to see Darth Vader, Spider Man, Winnie the Pooh, Tiger, Malificent, and Shrek.
The boys Dawson, Benson, Mason and Braiden, hard to get a shot were they were all looking. This was the best I could do!

Hailey, Addy and Hannah

My sisters and I being silly, however I say we make a darn cute sheep, horse and cow!
The animal petting area
The animal train ride and swings
Pony rides
The corn box, basically a sandbox of corn and a big hit!
The other big hit amongst the boys was the corn cannons. You basically put corn in this cannon gun thingy and shoot it! They had a blast and it was fun to watch!
We ended our day at Hee Haws by picking out the perfect pumpkins! I love Fall and had such a fun time with my family!

Fall Break

The kids have Fall break this weekend and so we headed up North today- Friday morning. We spent the afternoon with my Grandma who is now home! Yeah! That lady is a trooper I tell ya! She looked so good! She is getting around great! We had a real good time with her and it was so good to see her and spend time with her.
Tonight we met up with my sisters. We took all the kids to dinner and to see Where the Wild Tings Are. The kids enjoyed the movie but all I have to say is weird! I thought the movie was completely strange! Not sure it is one I will go and buy, but whatever! Still a great way to start out our break!

Farewell Ironmen!

Saturday was Dawson's last soccer game. He has really loved playing soccer and is really good at it as well. He had a great coach which made his first year of soccer even better. Since I was the team Mom, we planned a little pizza party at our house after the game. All the kids got their pictures and a trophy!

Dawson thought it was awesome! Here is the team with the coach at the party!
So for now it is farewell to soccer, until the spring anyway!

Justice!

We had SEOP's for Addy on Thursday. SEOP's are basically a parent-teacher confrence. It went very well. Mrs. Berkey had no complaints with Addy academically. However she was concerned about her talking! No really! Addy talkative...big shocker there! I know it's sweet justice right, I have a daughter that literally can't stop talking in class. My parents are laughing right about now! However I can now see both side of this lovely coin. I get Addy and the chattiness, believe me I do. But as a parent I can't be OK with all the chattiness. Dilemma, Dilemma! Well first we laughed about it and then it was down to business. We set some rules and guidelines I think we can all live with. I have to admit, it does make me smile just a titch when I think of Addy in the class just a chattin away. Oh the memories!!
