October 2011

Our Octobers are ALWAYS busy! With 2 birthdays, Halloween and all the parties, we decided to add a baptism to the mix.

We started the month with a birthday party for Guy at Jungle Jims with a dozen of his little friends.



Guy & Boddy


Evan & Torin


Landon & Colin


Dalton & Sasha








Then for his actual birthday. He woke up not feeling too hot, but muddled through the festivities.

Josh and I got him the Clone Wars Millennium Falcon


Bailee got him a Build a Bear


Preslee got him some wrestlers (or fighter guys and Guy puts it)


Sailor's gift was my favorite


She spent her own money on it


It's great to be 4


Sailor's birthday is a week later, but she got to go to Disneyland with Grandpa and Grandma Davis for her birthday. We got her a camera that she opened before she left, but she had to wait until she got home before she opened her other gifts. We all really missed her the 5 days she was gone. You don't realize what an impact a little 8 year old makes until she is not around.









When she got home, she opened gifts. She got a puzzle, SpongeBob Legos, an outfit, Cowgirl boots, and a Skip it.











Next, we prepared for Sailors baptism. It was on the 29th. It was amazing! She has such a wonderful spirit. Her Grandpa Davis and Great Grandpa Allred gave talks and Josh preformed the baptism and confirmation. We came back to our house for breakfast foods afterwards.











And now for Halloween and the various parties/parades.

Guy had a parade at his school.

Our family party.

Alice in Wonderland, Goth baby, and 2 sheriff's

Progressive's "Flo" and big nerd


Pizza and Jack O' Lantern


Happy October!

August/September 2011

School started with a bang! Bailee started 8th grade, Preslee 6th, Sailor is in 2nd, and Guy started preschool this year. I really can't believe that I am old enough to have an 8th grader. I met Josh when I was her age! Crazy!









The 3 amigos after school




My friend Hannah and I took the kids to $2 day at the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. The cost is usually $10 per person, so needless to say, it was a MAD HOUSE! But the kids had fun.




We went to Grandpa's lake for Labor Day weekend and played HARD on the lake.











Lots of turns riding the 4 wheeler.





Bailee brought her friend Bailey (what an unique name) and they made yummy cake ball ice cream cones for everyone.





Eating the cake balls


It was fun had by all (except Preslee. She went to Yellowstone with her friend Gabby).

We also rode bikes A LOT! Almost every night. The weather was beautiful and we played as a family as much as we could.



Bailee and Preslee started volleyball. Bailee asked if I would coach her team, and I said yes, but I couldn't just coach her team...Preslee wanted me to coach her team as well. I roped my friend Megan into helping me and we have had a good time.
But I didn't take any photos :(
