Halloween 2011

10 YEARS!!

WOW!! My wonderful hubby and I have been married for 10 years...time has flown. We decided to do something fun this year. So we left the boys with my parents and got a room at the Anniversary Inn. We went to dinner at one of our favorite italian restaurants, Tucci's, and we went shopping. It was so fun to get away and have alone time. I can't wait to spend another 10+++ years with my hubby.

Catch up...

I feel like we have been super busy this summer and time is flying by. I decided to update some of the things that have been going on with us this summer...so there is a few posts:) Enjoy.

1st Day of School

Wow...the summer has flown by!! I can't believe it's time for school again already. This year Kayden is in 3rd grade and is going to King's Peak Elementary. He walks to and from school, a new experience for us. Riley is in 1st grade and goes all day this year. He still rides the bus to East Elementary. My boys looked so handsome on the 1st day of school(like always).

New Boat

John and I decided to get a boat for our family this summer. We have not been disappointed, we have had many hours of fun as a family. We have gone to Starvation, Steineker, and Flaming Gorge since we've had it. We have even camped on it. The boat has become a favorite family activity. We'll be sad when winter comes:)

Riley Turns 6

I can't believe my baby is 6!! Where has time gone??? It just seems like yesterday he was a little toddler. June 24, 2005 he gave me the biggest scare of my life...being born premature. Now you wouldn't guess he was such a little squirt when he was born. We are so lucky to have Riley in our family. He is our family clown. He's my easy going sweet boy. He completes our family. He was almost born on grandma's birthday, so we always celebrate their birthdays together. He loves that he and grandma have a joint birthday party.

1st camping trip for 2011

We went on our 1st camp trip of the year last weekend. John had the weekend off and we worked on repairing our deck all day Friday and then decided we should have some fun. So late Friday afternoon we loaded up our camping gear in our little jeep trailer, the kids, and the dog and headed out to the desert. We figured it would be warmer out there at night. When we got there we had time to set up camp & collect firewood before it got dark. Then we had a traditional dinner of roasted hot dogs for dinner, and of course for dessert we had smores, mm mm. The next morning we got up and made breakfast over the campfire. I fried eggs and bacon-I haven't cooked over a campfire like that in years. But my guys all seemed to enjoy it. Then we had a little target practice with the guns(I forgot to take pics). Loaded up camp and came home. It was fun just to get out of the house and do something different for a change. Hopefully next time we can go for a little longer.
