Happy Haunting!

For school, the boys all wanted to be "cool" and dress up in their football uniforms. Well we decided to make things a little more interesting and went a little

crazy with the face and hair paint.

But for Halloween night, the boys all wanted to be something "scary"! So we all went with that theme. (I think I'm the scariest, but that's just typical for me everyday! :)

Cooper thought he was pretty cool as a scary skeleton and Tyler loved pretending to be a scarecrow.

And Austin just melted my heart in his adorable little skeleton costume.


And when the boys dumped out their candy to go out for more, Austin thought he was in Halloween Heaven.

Carving Pumpkins

We had a great time carving pumpkins for FHE.

It's fun to see how unique each child is about

how they want their pumkin to look.

Cooper just loved getting "down and dirty"

while carving his pumpkin. When he was done

he wanted to give it "freckles" so he stabbed it

over and over with a sharp object.

Tyler, our true BYU fan had to incorporate

a "Y" somehow into his design.


Austin thought that eating the pumpkin was

more fun than carving it!


And Zach was just happy that he picked out the

biggest pumkin of them all!


Good job boys!

Fall Family Fun

We decided to take the boys over to Gardner Village and take a few

pictures of the pretty fall settings. What a fun place!
After taking about a million pictures, the boys decided it was time to go home!

Crazy Hair Day!

So, it was CRAZY HAIR DAY at school, and since

the boys are such big BYU fans, we decided to

let them shave a "Y" on the back of their heads.

They thought it was pretty cool, but now I'm

just hoping it grows back soon.

Zach's Baptism

Zach turned 8 years old, which meant he was ready to get baptized.

He got his scriptures and a new sut and he was so excited.

These are my four future missionaries.

He had all his friends and family there to support him!

We're so proud of you, Zach!

Happy Birthday, Austin!

What a difference a years makes. It's crazy to remember how this precious, little boy's life began a year ago. But now, he is a typical one year old - full of life and energy!

And he is as sweet as any little boy could be.

Austin had a very fun-filled day full of lots and lots of presents, which he was so excited about!

And of course, we can't forget the birthday cake!

But by the time it was time to "dig in", I think he was so tired and overwhelmed with the day he wasn't sure what to think.

And the night ended with a frosted-covered face and a few tears!

Lake Powell for Labor Day

Some friends invited us to go to Lake Powell for the Labor Day Weekend. We had a blast! Ever since I was little, Lake Powell has been one of my favorite places in the entire world! The houseboat we stayed on had a pole up on top and the

kids loved to see how high they could climb.

Of course we did a ton of tubing!

Clark really loved the wave runners. Those babies are fast!!

The boys would spend hours, searching for and catching lizards on the beach. Tyler quickness, made him the king of lizard catching. Needless to say, he got a little sun!

Zach was quite the little cliff jumper. He would jump over and over and over again.

And of course, we had to go see Rainbow Bridge.

When it was time to go home, Cooper asked me if we could live at Lake Powell. I think that means he had a lot of fun!
