Halloween 2009

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We had a trunk-or-treat in our ward on Halloween night.

This is how we decorated our trunk......

Have you ever seen a cOoLeR RoCk StAr?

RoCk On DeViN!!!

ScAaAaAaAaAaAaAaRy WiTcH!!!
What did you expect from a girl named BOOGA?

Mr. Jade the irritating salesman, was invited to a murder mystery party.
What a blast!!!
{Next time you see Taylor ask him who ended up being the murderer:)}

Oh yes... Thanks to Mo and Me, the 80's are back.

{I know you're jealous.}

My Zachary is down in Wellington and I missed him so much this Halloween. I got some pictures on my phone of him dressed up as a cHeErLeADeR, he looked absolutely adorable ;) but I don't know how to download them on here. He made out like a FAT RAT in the candy department and had a blast collecting it all.

I'm glad you had fun, I love you Zac.

Family pics

We had our family pictures done today and I just have to say KUDOS to Melissa for taking them. You are the BEST!!!! Thank you!

Sorry to some of you for giving you a sneak peak at what our Christmas cards will look like this year but they turned out so good I couldn't wait to post them:) Enjoy....

Wet and wild soccer?

We've been so busy this summer and I've taken about a GAZILLION pictures but I haven't slowed down long enough to post anything, so now I'm playing "blogger catchup".

Another adventure we went on was Taylor's soccer tournament in Herriman.....

What a handsome kid!

Taylor is the one on the far right in red.

Here he is front and center in blue this game.

We found a little water park out in Herriman. We didn't have our swim suits but we did have a couple hours to kill between games so we got wet! Booga kept taking her shirt off, if we were the only ones there I so would have let her keep it off but we weren't alone so she had to be a "lady".

My little lady...





Zachary running thru the rings of water.

Devin was right behind him...

It was a lot of fun watching Taylor play in this tournament. His team took 2nd place and had a great experience. His season has started now and we are traveling from Park City to Tooele and everywhere in between. We're having some awesome adventures.

Goodbye Summer :(

We've had a lot of fun this summer. Its so sad to see it come to an end. There's a really fun outdoor swimming pool here in Lehi that we enjoyed spending lazy summer days at. Here are some fun pics of the kids.....

Zachary loved the high dive.

Valyssa started swimming with her life jacket all by herself. This is huge for her!

Here's Devin showing off his moves.





Taylor loved doing flips, 360's and anything else he could think of.

This one was painful just to watch!

He was attempting a back flip and ended up with a back flop.

OOOOUUUUCCCCCHHHHH!!!!

Devin again with the high dive, you can see the huge water slide in the background. This place was a blast.

And here they are, in all their glory. I love my little bunch.

I am so sad to see summer go but we had so much fun together and made a ton of memories.

THE END

( of summer )

Jr High and Preschool

We covered the Elementary students in the last blog, now on to the Preschool and Junior High students. Holy crap, how many kids do I have????

Booga and me on the first day of Preschool!!!

Booga learning that her name is not actually Booga.....

Striking a pose before school starts.

She got to wear her brand new Preschool shirt, how exciting!!!

You cant find a cooler kid on the first day of Junior High than this.

What a stud.

School Dayz
