Happy Halloween!

It's been a while since I have posted anything, so I figured I would at least get our Halloween pics up before it's too late! Every year our neighbors go all out and have a big Halloween party for everyone, they start decorating their house in August and every inch of their house is spooked out, they also have a haunted maze in the garage...the kids love it and we all have a good time. I'm so glad other people do fun stuff like that, because I'm definitely too lazy to do it!

Miles was the Grim Reaper

The blood red pool with body parts floating in it!

Melissa and I wanted to be the same thing, so we were the flapper girls and Sean and Mike were the Gangsters

The food table with all the creepy finger foods!

Sean definitely played the gangster well, even though he had to draw on his mustache with my eyeliner!

Grim Reaper getting into trouble!

Bailee as Little Red Riding Hood

Bailee's friend Tori in her matching Dorothy costume...how cute!(lol)
All the girls dressed up

Another Great Summer!!

We did so many fun things this summer, it was impossible to capture it all! I didn't take as many pics as I usually do and it seems like I have a lot more pics of my nieces and nephews than I do of my own kids! I love our summer vacation's to Utah, the weather is perfect everyday and it's so relaxing! We have no schedule and we just hang out or do fun things with Nana, cousins, or friends everyday...you can't beat that!

I do realize summer is over now and this post is long overdue, but, I'm posting it anyway-better late than never!

Here are just a few random pics from our trip...

Bumper Boats at Boondocks to cool us off!

Cute Mclaren in her pink skirt trying on Nana's sunglasses!

Bailee and Grand-Nana at my mom's for a special luncheon

Our trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to Grandma's house and her mashed potatoes! Jax and Miles showing off their magnet creations they made at the Children's Museum

My amazing Mom who always makes our trip so much fun that we never want to leave! We love spending time with her and the kids are so lucky to have her for their Nana!

Park City

We had lots of fun in Park City one weekend...swimming, alpine slide, and Main Street!

This is why I always have a million pics of my brother's kids and none of my own!! They are impossible to take pics of, they never cooperate!

4th of July 2009!

We had an awesome 4th this year...a family BBQ and the Stadium of Fire to see fireworks and...

The JONAS BROTHERS!!

T H I R T E E N!

I am happy to say that we made it through the month of May! It is always a crazy month around here because we have 3 Birthdays to celebrate, Mother's day, and then this year we also had a Baptism, so we were really busy! Bailee turned 13 and had a fun slumber party with all of her friends. She has been asking for a slumber party for a long time and I have always said no, I finally gave in this year and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! The girls were all really good and didnt keep us up too late, they went to see 17Again and then came back here for pizza, cake and the sleepover.
These are a few of the pics that I had taken of the kids for Mother's day by Sarah...I can't believe how old my kids are getting!!!

E I G H T!

We talked Miles out of having a big party this year, woohoo! Instead, we went out to dinner with Nana and had a fun-filled weekend in Orlando. He was able to get the slightly more expensive gift that he really wanted, as opposed to spending all the money on a big party!

Miles' Baptism

This was a very special month for Miles, he turned Eight and was Baptized on May 30th! He was very excited and had been preparing for this day for a long time, we are so proud of him! It was so great that my mom could be here to celebrate this special day with him, we would not have been able to have such a wonderful day without her! We also want to thank our lovely cousins and friends for helping out with the program and making it so memorable for Miles!

Of course I forgot to get a pic of Miles and Sean in their white baptism clothes, so I guess these pics will have to do!
