Warren Miller fun!

A couple weekends ago's we drove up to SunValley to see the Warren Miller ski show. Everyone loves to ski..some more than others,..We met some of our friends up there..played around, watched the movie and then went to eat at the one and only Desperado's..It was a fun weekend! All the kids posing by the big snow gorilla after the show..they were all excited to start the ski season after watching the show..

Ab and Brekyn reading up on how to ski..

The girls will always pose for me..I love it! The poster behind them is awesome..Of course the greatest snow on earth is from my home state..Utah of course!

Cute little chics...I think we are all now ready for a great ski season!

Time to finish up Halloween!

It's taken me awhile but it is time to finish up all the Halloween blogs..On Halloween night we started out with a great taco dinner at Brandon's Aunt Colleens .YUM, to say the least. She is great and it was fun to see her and some family members. We then headed over to the trunk or treat which was fun and fast..Whoo! After that we decided to head home for the trick or treaters and let our kids enjoy the night. My parents were in town to visit so a big thanks for hanging with us and dealing with all the running around. We love Halloween but we are glad it's over. Hunt, Jacob and Marshall..wonder what they are up to??

Braeden, Brandon and Taryn having a good time scaring the kids.

Madison, Hallie and Abbey at the trunk or treat!

Oh and the oh so cute Dille's..A bee, flower and a cute lady bug..so adorable!

Grandpa and Braeden manning the car for the trunk or treat! What a nice gramps..love ya! Hope everyone had a great Halloween..Now on to bigger and better things!

Going to work..

Yes that would be my husband..even though he's been on a big diet he has gained a few..that is with the help of towels and balloons! He told his employees to dress up on Halloween and so he decided to do it himself. Pretty impressive..not very cute or attractive for a women but it guaranteed a few laughs. I think that was the ultimate goal. Ab thought it was a fun idea and decided to try it out..Nice..lets hope she really doesn't turn out like this! Hee'Hee!

Happy Halloween Honey!! Love the boots..

Halloween parties..

So, I actually got a few shots from Abbey's and Braeden's school parties. Braeden party was full of lots of games like eating donuts off a string and wrapping up mummies and as for Ab she was able to play games too I just didn't get any pics of hers. Eating donuts..lots of fun..

Braeden and Brandon with there teacher Ms. Stroh..she is new this year and a really good teacher.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 take off!

For a class project Braeden and his good buddy Brandon made an A and W bomb..they really put some work into it, it actually had a little man strapped to it to see if it could hold on. It went so high it was great. Good Job Boys!! We are so proud of you both.. Before take off..so proud of there rocket..

Some of the other kids doing it too..

After take off..the little guy actually made it..Congratulations!

A sewing class??

Yep that is right..I actually took a sewing class. Who knew I could actually pull my brand new sewing machine out of the box that I have had for 3 years now and use it. I owe it all to my friend Jana..she came up with the idea and so I hopped on board for a 4 week class..It turned out to be lots of fun and not as scary as I thought it would be to actually thread my own machine. The class taught us how to make aprons and just your basic how to's..which I needed. It was fun to learn and great to really make something. Jana, our teacher Marianne and Me

Me and Jana..Jana's is actually for Macy her daughter..

A little nervous but I'm doing it..

The pro from the beginning..

What we started out with..Thanks Jana- it was fun to hang out and learn something new!

The great pumpkin race...

Yep, we did it again! On the 25th we decided to run another race. This one was on the CSI campus and ended up being 3plus miles, and yes we ran the whole way without stopping. You may laugh at that but it really is an accompishment for me to run that long without passing out. It was a fun race and very pretty too! I ran with Rachelle, Christi and Christy. Thanks girls for a fun morning and for being such great running partners..You are all so much fun!
