Twilight Football Game

I LOVE our neighborhood.  Josh and I have talked about moving so many times, but I don't think I could, because I can't think of a more perfect neighborhood to raise my kids in.  This was a football game that Brother Moulton started the other night with all the kids who were playing in front of my house.  They boys loved it.  So greatful for good neighbors and a all the kids in my neighborhood!

Princess Breakfast

We had the chance to go to Breakfast with the Princesses.  We only did it because Brooke was playing Rapunzel's little sister. We were so glad we went.  It was a huge production and so well put together.  Piper loved it!

 

She got to go on stage with the princesses and learn how to curtsey.



 There were several girls in my ward who were in this and it was so much fun.  they did a great job.

 Up on the stage.

 Pipers very favorite part of the whole thing was this cute little frog.  This girl can do amazing things with her little body.  She was flipping and jumping all over the place.

 Piper with Brooke and Belle!

One of the cute little Roger girls!  I can't remember which one. 

Mini Cheerleaders

 Piper had the chance to do a mini cheer clinic at Snow Canyon.  Her besties did it with her of course.  Jordyn, Pip, Addison and Adilyn!

 You can count on my kid being silly.  They got to cheer at one of the football games.

 I love telephoto lenses.  I wouldn't have been able to see her otherwise.

 They learned a cheer and did a dance to Call Me Maybe by Katy Perry.  It was so cute.

 Piper was so sassy.  The video is darling.

 We stayed and watched the rest of the game after they danced.

I love these 3 cutie pies! 

A little Hike

A few weeks ago, we took an evening to go on an adventure. Our goal was to find an old bridge that is located out in Leeds. Instead we found an awesome hide away campground with hiking trails.

 

 

 

 Gosh, I love this guy!

 Tyson is just like his dad.  Loves to hike and practically runs up the trail.

 JD loved it as well.  He digs being outdoors.

 And this little stink.  Well, let's say she takes after her mom.  I like to hike and I don't complain, but after awhile, I get bored with it.  Piper was bored 10 minutes in and wanted to go back to the truck.

 

All of our pictures are self portraits and they all look like this.  I have short little arms, so Josh has to do the photo taking.  I don't mind though, because I get to hide behind him!

 Look at my cute kiddo's and pup!  We had so much fun and will for sure be going back.

Awww, such a good Dad!  He carried her pretty much the entire way down. Little Stink!

Tyson

 I had the chance to spend an afternoon, home alone, with this cute kid.

We played some games and chatted about random things.

We took some self portrait, because, well, that's what this mom does.

We had a great afternoon of laughing and playing.  We were in the middle of playing a game and he jumped up and ran into the other room to get a little notepad and pencil.  He wrote on the paper for a minute and then folded it up and passed it onto me.  It said, "Mom, your a loser!"  Little twerp!

Good thing he's cute.  He's such a good kid.  He says the funniest things and is so sweet!  Except when he calls me a loser!

Kenecott

 Largest copper mine in the world! Who wouldn't want to see that?  I didn't actually have the chance to go, but Josh and Adam took the kids to see it the weekend we went up.

 JD of course loved it!  He thought it was very cool.

 All the kiddo's in a row.  Quinton didn't want to go.

 Hmm, I am my fathers child.  Let me climb this big tire!

 Of course, if JD does it, then Tyson has to do it too.

Cute kids at the strip mine! 

Hogle Zoo

 The week after school started, we took the kids up to Salt Lake for a long weekend.  It was our 11-year anniversary and the Alison's Pantry Food Show.  We decided to go up a day early and take the kids to the zoo.  Lindsey and her cute boys came with us!

 Quinton cracks me up.  There is only 7 months difference between Piper and Quinton and they were little buddies.  He likes Uncle Josh too.

 Our first stop was the Elephant Exhibit.  Apparently pooping elephants are extremely funny to a ten-year-old boy.

 The buddies checkingout some monkey's.

 We decided to make a stop at the bird show and were so glad we did.  Probably my favorite part of the whole zoo.

 Then it was off to see the Polar Bears.  I loved this shot of Piper and the bear.

 Quinton and Piper again.  The only reason I have so many pictures of Piper, is that she is the only kid who sticks by me. 

 I love the sneezing elephant.  This is one of my favorite memories from when we went to the zoo the first time.  JD was 3 and Tyson was 6 months old . We took Tyler and Parker with us and they loved this elephant and sat on it forever.

Spending the day at the zoo makes for a tired daddy and a tired Garrison! 

Aladdin

We had a chance to take our whole family to see Aladdin at Tuacahn.  What a neat experience.  The play was wonderfully performed and the kids enjoyed it so much.  Even Josh loved it!
