Emigration Oaks Halloween Party

I just want to blog really quick about our first ever Emigration Oaks Halloween Party. We have the funnest neighborhood ever!! About 50 people came out to enjoy the wagon ride trick-or-treating and delicious food. The kids looked so cute in their costumes. Rosie and Bart took all the pictures so when I get them I will set up a slide show. Happy Halloween!

Three Weeks In Review










Well, the last time I blogged was the first day of our family vacation in Cali. Since then I have been way to busy to do anything but get through the day and fall into bed exhausted. It has been a fun few weeks though and I will attempt to share it with you now in my Three Weeks in Review...





This picture is from the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We met a bunch of friends there. The kids had a great time playing on all the jumping things and getting their faces painted. I love that Cannon S. has his finger up his nose. Too funny.








My youngest bro Cannon left for his mission last week. I was lucky enough to host the whole fam for a week while we got Cannon ready to go. I loved having a full house and many hands to help with kids. While he wrote and re-wrote his talk, one hundred times, the rest of us planned his farewell party. Thanks to Kathy Kjar for hosting all of our friends and family for this special day. Here is Cannon sitting next to his Halloween missionary. I am very excited for Cannon to embark on this amazing adventure. I know he will be a great missionary and grow immensly. The boys and I, however, will be lonely. Cannon has been living with us for the last couple of months and it has been a lot of fun. He has also been my dog walker and it has been really nice not having to worry about the dogs. We will miss you.

Here are the boys is full costume at Buddy and Angie's Halloween Party. We had a great time. It is so fun to see what costumes people will come up with. That party was Friday night and Saturday night I got to go out with some girlfrieds for dinner and to see Thriller. It was a great show and a very fun night out. Thanks Natalie for putting it together.

So Cal Vaca!


Our family trip to southern California was awesome. The weather was great and so was the company. It was so fun to be together as a family. We always have a great time together. Dane loved that he had his grandma's undivided attention. One day we asked him what he wanted to do thinking he would want to go to the beach or something but instead he said, "I just want to stay home with my grandma and do nothing". My parents went all out for this trip. We did family pictures, took surfing lessons, went to a San Diego Chargers football game, and a kayaking adventure. Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful trip. We love you! Slide show to come when I get all the other pictures from my siblings.
