Well this last weekend Shawn came home for just a couple of days. I wanted to do something fun and just spend time together as a family... We had a really nice weekend relaxing and just being together, I have to say it went by way to fast. On Saturday night I decided to get everyone together to carve pumpkins and have dinner. Thanks to Sarah dinner was great, Shawn's favorite a good STEAK and potatoes... Then we did pumpkins, the kids helped for the first little bit then off they were to play somewhere else. The kids got all of the inside seeds and slime out, then that was enough... We got our designs out of a book and stuck them on the pumpkins and away we went on to our carving. "Yeah" I know it's cheating but who can really carve their own pumpkin? I remember how much fun we had last year doing pumpkins and this year was fun to. I am just thankful for such good families, and for all the time that we spend together...

P.S. Sorry for the smilebox I thought it was easier to look at pictures, Let me know if it's inconvienant...

Witches Tea Party!!!

Witches Tea Party

I was invited to Shantiell's house for a little party it was so much fun we had some yummy food, hot chocolate, a gift exchange, and of course some nice company...

Kenna, Mindy, Jancee, Debra,

Rachelle, Shantiell, Jen, & Jamie
Thanks to Jen and Shantiell for such a fun party I had a good time. Of course I was full because I ate so much, but it was all worth it...

Minni Cheer!!!

Emma, Daygan, & Hanna

These 3 girls have been friends for a few years now since they started pre-school at Ms. Kim's... I enjoy watching them grow up together, I hope they are always little friends... Emma had a lot of fun doing Minni Cheer!!!

Emma & Hanna
Brooklyn, Emma & Gavin

I don't know why but Gavin liked being down there by all those cheerleaders, hopefully he doesn't want to be one lol!!! Kinda far away I wish I had a longer lens, maybe some day.
"Don't worry Shawn I didn't mean now!"It was so fun to watch all of those little girls, some of them new the dance and some looked around super cute though...

Fun with DAD!!!

JUMPING JACKS

This was a fun day with Dad before he left for Texas! It was Shawn's idea to take Emma out of school a little early and go to St. George. We took the kids to Jumping Jacks, it was so much fun to spend time as a family before he left. It meant a lot to me for him to suggest going and doing something with just us, we usually don't do that. We always include the rest of the family but hey, every once in a while it's good to spend time with just the 5 of us. I am thankful for a Fun, Loving HUSBAND and DADDY!!!

Shawn and I had so much fun on the BIG SLIDE that was there.

Tray tried to climb up the big slide he never made it, way to steep!!!

Gavin had to take it slow, I think all these jumping slides were a little overwhelming at first, but by the end he was having a blast...

What a FACE!!!

YEAH I know what a scary face!!! We were laughing so hard because I would jump as far as I could off of the big slide. Most of the time it didn't feel good, I had a few strawberry burns on my self. What is wrong with me I am worse than a KID!!!

We ended our trip with some FROZEN YOGURT! The kids had fun because they got to make their own cup, and choose everything that went inside.

OPEN WIDE!!!

By the end of the night the kids were so tired and whinny, I was just wanting them to go to bed. Shawn being the patient one in the house wanted to hang out with them I guess. It was so sweet when I came to put them to bed they were all cuddling on the coach, Tray and Gavin were just watching TV while the other 2 were sleeping.

He is such a good DADDY!!!

Lake Powell

Family time on Lake Powell what a nice vacation I think it's my favorite place by far. We had planned this trip Sept. 26 because it's my nephew Tyler's senior year and we wanted to watch him play football, so it all worked out we watched the game and also got a lake trip out of it...

Tray and Koby on the tube they loved it!

Gavin and I tubing but he didn't want to go to fast!
Jenna and Emma had so much fun they were laughing the whole time, they went faster than the boys!!!

Brian and KobyCheezer
The boys and there life jackets they finally started getting use to them by the end of the weekend it was fun they could hardly get up if they fell. I just remember as a kid I never took mine off so that was the rule they wore them pretty much the whole time...

The boys loved this little speedster they had more fun in this one then the big boats.

Mom and Dad Thanks so much for such a nice weekend, we have so many family memories on Lake Powell and it was nice to spend time as a family we missed Barry, Aaron, & there families.

Andrea and Brooks

Grandma was so happy just being at the Lake with all of us!

WAKE BOARDING- Brian was fun to watch he got up in the air so high...

Shawn did good but it bothers his knee's if you can't see the double Knee brace's I tease him about those better safe than sorry I guess.

I had so much fun Brian was teaching me how to jump higher and by the end of the weekend I was landing on the down side of the wake. Not to mention I had some major head aches from sliding across the water, oh well it's all worth it.

I think this was one where I wrecked hard!

Tray, Jut, & Koby I loved there jackets on them! Brian and Emma started a sand castle it was so cute to see him playing with her!

As you can see we all had to start helping it was fun and Emma really enjoyed it.

Finished Sand Castle

Lake Powell is the prettiest place I love all of the canyons and scenery, if you have never been it's definitely a place to visit!

Good job Tyler it was fun to watch you...
I am thankful for family time we had a good time together. It was a nice weekend on the Lake, good weather and fun people only wish everyone could have been there, next time for sure.

The POOL is finally done!

Gavin was the first one in Grandpa's pool, it was a little cold but we were able to get a couple days out of it. To bad it wasn't done a few months ago, I'm not complaining just excited that it's finally finished... Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Price for doing a pool for all of your family, it's just another way to keep us coming over to your house... Sorry Grandpa you can't keep us away now lol!

Grandma Sue enjoyed sitting outside watching all the kids play in the water, it did make her nervous when the little ones would jump in...

This never works but hey Grandma looks happy with all these boys!

I thought this was a sweet picture of the boys!
Koby would jump in all day he loves the water!

Shawn and his tricks I swear he was going to kill himself!

Jut & Koby

Gavin was so scared but kept swimming from one side to the other.

I have never seen him jump in feet first it's always a dive or belly flop of some kind!

I love his face!

He sat in the sun most of the day!

Grandma got in for a little while but was out quick it was to cold!

Tricks off Grandpa!
