Here we are at Zion's National Park. Beautiful place but Carson and I were very carsick during the ride. The kids loved going through the tunnel’s and yelling to Daddy to honk the horn.

Swimming is always a favorite part of St. George and we did a bit of that. The weather was colder than it has been in the past years but that didn’t stop my little fishes! I ditched on the swimming and went shopping, my favorite thing about St. George.

The boys went golfing a few times! Later to come our pic’s from the Grand Canyon now that place is truly amazing! We had a great time and spent not as much time as we would have liked with the Dutson’s. But thanks, so much for letting us stay at your house. You guys are awesome!!

We had a great time despite the Rain. All the kids looked so cute and had a great time at their grandparents trunk or treat. We stopped by grandma Cherie’s who is recovering from gallbladder surgery to show her the kids’ costumes. We ended the night with Warren begging the kids to keep going trick or treating. It was a hoot they told him No that they were too tired. That’s my crazed candy lover husband for ya! Happy Halloween!!

Here is a couple pictures with our friends….

It was so fun to watch my newphew and Connor’s team play each other. Connor and Kaden even went up against each other with a few hits, it was great!

We had so many people there to support the boys and their teams!

Kamille even recruited Baylee into being a Herriman Cheerleader. We let it slide this time, Baylee doesn’t know better.

The game turned out as planned, Jordan stomped on Herriman 26 to 7.  It was a pretty friendly rivalary although I did have to tell my team to block my nephew because he kept sacking our quarterback, sorry Kaden.

35 and Counting….

Oct. 4th my CUTE husband turned 35. I love teasing him that he is now on his way to 40! His age doesn’t affect him as long as he can hUnT the rest of his life. His Birthday is during the best time of the year; the deer hunt. So it’s obvious what he gets each year: time away from us to hunt. This year’s hunt wasn’t as sweet as last years; however,  he had a great time with Wes & Mike Dutson!

I LOVE this man more than words can express! He is so good to me and works so hard for our family. I pray going back to school will  pay off real soon for him. No one deserves it more. He will GIVE you the shirt off his back if needed. He is AMAZING!! I am so lucky to spend ETERNITY with him! Happy Birthday xoxoxoxo  Eryn

Happy 7th Birthday Brynlee!!

Brynlee turned seven on September 28th. Her friend Kemry turned seven ten days before Brynlee. We decided to have a princess party for the both of them. Here they are all dolled up after the party!family pictures 2010 018

The decorations were so fun and cute. We did a pink and Black themed party with zebra accents.

Each girl had a turn getting their hair put up in an updo. Then they had a choice to have pink or silver glitter spray put on. There was also a nail station where they all got manicures.

There was also a bracelet making station and a princess wand station. The girls were very pampered!

Happy 12th Birthday, Connor!!

Connor has been asking for a phone for months now.  I have always told him No. I don’t know what came over us, but we decided that we would see if he could be responsible with one. He doesn’t get free reign with his phone. We set many rules for him to follow. He is such a good kid, and is doing well in school. We are so proud of him! I love this look on his face, he couldn’t believe he was really getting a phone!

Along with this special Birthday, Connor was ordained a Deacon on Sunday! He was so excited and he looked so sharp in his new Suit! Connor also received his Faith in God Award in Church too. I can’t even express how proud I am as his Mother.

My little sidekick…

Now that the kids are in school it’s just me and my little sidekick. We have had a lot of firsts this month. It all started with Baylee finally getting a big girl bed! She was so excited she kept saying Thank you mommy and daddy, the entire night. It was so fun to see her excitement, we should have done this a long time ago but I couldn’t quite give up the crib because I was in denial that my baby is a little girl now.

Next, Baylee started Ballet. She is so tiny, in fact I think she is the smallest one in her class. She looked so cute all decked out in her dance clothes. She had so much fun!

And finally, Baylee makes the cutest little running partner! After the kids are off to school we load up in the new jogger stroller that I found on KSL for only $25.00 and head out for a run. Baylee looks forward to this and even has her sunglasses waiting in the stroller everyday. I did have to teach her not to talk to mommy while she’s running because she liked to ask me a hundred questions each time and it made it hard for me to run and talk to her.

We are having such a fun time together, I am eating up all these little moments with her. Before I know it she will be off to Kindergarten and I will be all alone :( I sure do love this spunky little girl, she makes my days so much more brighter!
