A True Jedi Party

Whew...we made it through a real Jedi party with eleven first-graders and my other two kids. But, we had a blast! Kamden was so excited and it took a lot of education on my part to learn Star Wars lingo.

That was my cake creation (it is supposed to be a light saber) before it was devoured. And to top it off :Yoda Sodas.

To become a True Jedi, each boy had to find their light saber (treasure hunt) and then learn to use it (oh and they learned, we had an injury after about 30 seconds). They then each had to test their strength and agility through an obstacle course.

Happy Birthday Kam! Hope you had an out of this world time!

Halloween 2009

What a fun Halloween we had this year. This was the first year we spent in our new house. And thus the first time my kids have been trick-or-treating. Not a long of ground was covered, but a lot more fun than a trunk-or-treat (who even came up with that crazy idea anyway). I love that my kids get to choose whatever they want to be for Halloween. I think Kamden might forever be a Star Wars character from here on out.

Cori made a great cheerleader! She had been making up some pretty crazy cheers!

Wyatt knew exactly what he wanted to be! He actually said a "football" but I knew what that meant. He came home with heaps more candy than the other two. I think he played the cute card and scored with the candy.

This is Us!!

I finally managed to get this done!! We have not had a family picture taken since Cori was a baby..so sad. And I love these....now to get the copies done...

ABQ is so Cool!!

We are so lucky!! We were able to go visit Jamie and her family in New Mexico. Boy was it a loooong drive, but look at what we saw! This and cousins made this drive well worth it!

Here is my mom, me, and Jamie at the night glow. So awesome! There are no words to describe this. I hope we get to go again next year!

The happy Family!

Here are all the cousins (except Cannon) at El Pinto...a great Mexican restaurant.

And here we are at ABQ Jump. Thanks Jamie and Travis for letting us stay. And good job Riley on getting baptized, you are a great example to my kids!

I Found My Camera!

My camera has been hiding for awhile now. I remember taking it away from Wyatt because he loves to take great pictures of peoples noses and such. I found it hiding in my car as I was packing. And here are the pictures I found on it....

While Kamden was off track, we took a mini vacation to the zoo and to Park City. It had been about a year and a half since we had been. They were so happy to go, it was like their first time all over again.

Here we are hiking at Cascade Springs. Notice the paved path, yes that is our kind of hiking.

Gosh, I love these three! They are so fun and are becoming better friends with each other all the time. Not to say that we never fight, but we sure know how to play hard too.
