Vegas Date Night

After we went to Salt Lake back down to St. George we headed to Vegas.  We got to stay the night with Mark's twin and his family and they are so awesome they babysat for us! Date Night bring it on! It was so nice of them and we where so thankful to get some time to ourselves! Lucky for me I married a shopper! So we headed out ate some yummy food and shopped until late! love it :)

 

Love Bumblebee! Amazing what you find walking around down there!

Temple Square Dec 2012

While we where in Utah way back in early Dec we had the chance to go see the Temple lights with Marks parents.  This is one of Mark and my FAVORITE things to do.  We both love Christmas lights and put them on a beautiful temple and its magical! Obviously because we are LDS the Temple is very special to us as well. I am so happy we got to take our kids they loved it!

Provo

We went up to Provo for a few days!  I got to see my little sister who is attending BYU!  I checked out her dorm and cleaned the bathroom!  Wow I am my mother!  Then we took her and her boyfriend out to lunch at my fav Pizza Factory!  The kids where absolutely crazy as always but it was so fun to see my sis and meet her Boyfriend!  My kids miss her so much!

Dixie Mountain

On Wayne's B-Day we went for a hike on the Dixie Mountain...The kids loved it and I was a basket case because there were so many kids on top of this mountain it didn't seem safe!  It freaked me out..But the all ended up safe and had a great time!

 

 

Bryn loves her Uncle Noni..no that's not Mark it's his twin.

 Here's the other Uncle taking the kids through skinny mans pass!

 The view from the top!

 Wayne and Pat love doing stuff with all of their grand kids, this was so much fun.

 Mark going through skinny mans pass.

 Here are all the kids who hiked through it!

 

It was a great way to spend the day.  Wayne even went and picked up KFC...So we had a nice picnic afterwards.

St George

 

So  after we got home from the dells we packed up and left the next day for St George for Thanksgiving!

 

My Best friend from Phoenix came up for a few days!  We had lots of fun until hanging out and catching up!  Until Bryn puked so our time was cut short!  I have the best friends ever!  I miss her soooo much!

 Then we had a few days of Grandma to ourselves..so she did some fun stuff with the kids. 

 The cousins all had such a fun time playing together!

 I somehow got no pictures from Thanksgiving...so we skip to the day after!  Santa stooped by while Wayne and the kids were setting up the train set!  The kids where elated!

 Miss Bryn loved her aunt Jessie it was so cute!

 Brecken was so excited to see Santa!

 The train set that the kids love so much!  It is so cute to watch "Pie" play with the kids with it.

The Dells

We met my mom down for a weekend trip at her Dells resort.  Its fun because its low key my mom cooks for us and cleans up after us, and her and my step dad play with the kids.  It has an awesome zero depth pool and is perfect for the kiddos.

 

Wildlife

One of the fun things living here is all the wildlife!  Seriously like everyday there are like 4 deer that walk behind our house at dusk!  The kids love to watch them.  The fence is the end of our yard, just to give u and idea of where they are.

 

Trick or Treat Night

 

So Trick or Treating starts at like 4:30 here so we all got together and brought food to a neighbors house and had a pot luck dinner and then took the kids out and around the neighborhoods.  It was so cold but the kids stayed out until like 8!  They had so much fun...they where running around like crazy kids and loved every minute of it.  I dn't take my camera walking around because its just one more thing..  But here are all the kids.

Peter Pan Theme

 

Well somehow this year my kids did a theme...I really don't even know how it came to pass.  But it was great!  They were so cute together.

 

Here is the dashing Peter Pan

 The sassy Tinker Bell

 The sweet Wendy!

 

We went to my moms for a quick weekend to visit and dress up.

School Dance

Jaylee had her first school dance this year!  The family was all invited and got to wear their Halloween costumes!  The dance was a glimpse of what my future looks like.  At first we got there and she wouldn't leave my side and within 15 minutes she was up front, in front of the DJ with all her friends jumping around!  Little Bryn found herself in the dead center of the dance floor and was dancing her little legs off.  Brecken found a couple of older girls from church and tagged along with them..he likes the ladies to be older lol!

 

Fun on the 400 Block

Throughout the summer there is always little activities going on right downtown.  It is the restored old kind of downtown its so cute.  So this one just had little activities for the kids and then when they were bored we walked over and grabbed ice cream with some neighbors!  It was so much fun!  Out neighborhood is so fun bc we all have kids in similar ages so its fun to meet up for this kind of stuff.  Even when Miss Bryn is being her sassy pants self.

 

 Miss Sassy Pants

 Got that girl some ice cream and no more miss sassy!

 The girls wave to people as they walked by and tried to see how many people would wave back!

The Perfect Storm

One fall day we were outside and mark was adding on a few accessories to the swing set and literally this storm rolled in out of no where!  It  was crazy it was like the clouds just swallowed the sky!  There were all these crazy winds, it was nuts.  Jaylee was freaking out and crying because she thought it was going to be a tornado and Brecken loved it!
