Photo Shoot

Last weekend we went to grandma's so all the grandkids could take Christmas pictures with grandma and grandpa. It was interesting... But the pictures turned out cute!!

Micah's Concert!

Micah had his first orchestra concert!! He did so well! We're so proud of him!! :)

The Mentos Experiment...

Shannon and Aaron gave me "The Mentos Experiment" set for my birthday. We had a blast trying it out with all our kids and their friends!!! Boy did it work!!!! Yep, I'm not mature at all... Maturity is for boring people! ;)

Halloween!! :D

The kids LOVE halloween!!! This year we painted some pumpkins that grandma gave us on the FHE before halloween. The kids had a blast and we used them to decorate the entrance to our home. Collin was a skeleton, Mason a cat, Porter a cowboy and Micah a Jedi or something star wars... We had SO much fun trick-or-treating with all our friends and neighbors!!!

Labor Day Weekend

This labor day weekend we went to our family cabin in Pine, AZ. We had a great time visiting with family and spending time doing things we enjoy! :)

Cabin FUN!!!

What better to do at the cabin than jump off the stairs and land on the love sac?? :)

Big fish!!

Jace and Aaron went back fishing Monday morning and got 5 more!

Feeding the ducks...

On our way back home we stopped at Payson Lakes and fed the ducks and other "things" our left over bread!

Family BBQ

We finished our labor day weekend with a family BBQ and some water fun!

Family day at the lake! :D

Saturday we had our annual family reunion at Canyon Lake, AZ. It was an awesome day and we had so much fun tubing down the lake! After about an hour of being out on the lake we went back to let the rest of the family have a turn at it. But right after they left we had a HUMONGOUS storm go through without warning!! I grabbed all my kids and hanged on to them as the wind and rain pounded on us. All we could do was ride it out!! They were scared and crying, but they were with Jace and I, and I was more worried for the rest of the family on the boat!! When the storm passed we had nothing left on the tables which we had set up with food, drinks and treats, we had lost a raft and other things to the lake, and everything else was buried in the sand! Crazy but FUN!!! I LOVE big storms!!! :D

Indoor soccer!!

Micah and Porter started their indoor soccer season and they had their first game on Saturday morning. The "green mean machines" played SO good!!! :) Micah is #7 and Porter #4.

Chore Chart

Last Saturday was our ward's Super Saturday and I ventured out of my non-crafty comfort zone to make this really cute chore chart. I also made a bunch of magnets to go along. We've been at it for a week, and IT WORKS!!! :) So excited to get the chores done while the kids have so much fun checking their chores everyday. It's almost a game!!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

Today the kids went back to school! Oh happy day!!! Micah is in 4th grade, Porter in 2nd and Mason in 1st!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLLIN!!!!

Collin turns 4 today!! Can't believe my baby is 4!! Love you Collin!!

Random....

Pictures by Porter

Porter loves taking pictures! These are some of his latest ones. He wanted me to put them on the blog. :)

My trip to Utah!

I was able to go to Utah this last weekend to see Paula's new baby, Gavin. It was a lot of fun!! It was fun to play with my little nieces too and get to know them a little more, since I don't see them often.
On my way back my flight was diverted to Las Vegas due to the BAD weather in Phoenix. My flight was VERY rough and I could see lightning out of the plane's window. I got home 3 hrs later than I was supposed to!! But at least I made it home. I was worried I wouldn't.... Crazy weather!!

Sunday afternoon....

What better to do on a Sunday afternoon than jump off the table on Walmart made parachutes?! I can think of a million things but the kids thought that was IT!!! :)

Mason's Birthday Party!!!

Saturday we had Mason's friends over for her 6th birthday party. She had a blast making everything PINK and playing with her friends! We can't believe she's already 6!!!

Random weekend pictures!

We had an awesome weekend!!! Here are a few random pictures we took here and there during the weekend.
