Halloween 2010

What comes after soccer? Why Halloween of course! This year our little one decided to be Ben 10! He had lots of fun running around turning into different aliens and fighting the bad guys!


Happy Halloween!

Soccer 2010

Brandon wanted to play soccer this year so we signed him up this fall. He is having a blast. In this picture he is goalie and is doing a really good job. One ball was coming straight at him and he kicked it away! Good job Brandon!

Playing

this and that

About a year ago my sister and I decided to take our kids to see Scales and Tails.

Shooting stars

Last night was very sweet. I set my alarm clock for 3am and woke up Brandon and my husband. We then took a couple of blankets to the back yard and snuggled up and watched the shooting stars. I tried to show Brandon the lunar eclipes a couple of months ago but missed it (wrong night). We got up at midnight on Thursday but didn't see any (shooting stars) so it was very nice that last night everything worked out. Our two kitties even came out and watched with us :)

Family Vacation 2010

For our vacation this year we went with my parents, one brother and his wife, one sister and her husband/kids up to Idaho. We spent a week roughing it at MFR. Here is Brandon and Jayden (his cousin) riding a train at the 4th of July picnic.

We went looking for a place to fish and my Dad's car overheated and my sister's car had a flat tire...our car made it. lol. Anyway while the guys were fixing the flat tire my sister and I with Brandon and Jayden decided to walk to the lake (her other kids stayed behind to help). The kids kept picking up rocks and for this picture they decided to put them on their heads. sigh!

The ranch has this cool slide that the kids loved to go down. Here is Brandon going down for the 100th time lol.

Here are the kids getting ready to go river rafting. Looks like fun!

Going fishing.

Here is Brandon and Daddy. Brandon had just caught his very first fish! Boy were we (and still are) proud! Only 6 years old and he caught 4 fish during the whole trip.

Snow Canyon, Utah

Well, last week we drove to St George and spent the weekend at Snow Canyon. We had a blast! On Friday after the long drive we played in the pool. It was a little windy but my boys had fun!

Saturday morning we went to Snow Canyon and took a couple of guided tours of the area and even saw some lizards :)

Goofy boy posing in front of a cactus.

Stoped by Cove Fort on the way home. They are looking to see who's at the door. lol

Before we left St George we stopped at the temple for a couple of pictures.
So here they are sitting on the front steps of the St George Temple. cool huh!!

We had a wonderful time and Brandon has discovered that he loves hiking and going on "family vacations."

"families are forever"

By the way 17 years ago today I married my sweetie at the Salt Lake Temple. Love ya Babe!

easter

Waiting for me to tell him he could go find the eggs.

"I found one."

Cool! What did the Easter Bunny bring? We had a wonderful Easter. After conference we went to Mom and Dad's and had more food and fun with family.

Our Kitty

We have a train robber, highway man, Godzilla or just a curious kitty. You decide. Brandon and I put together his train track and our kitten decided that she too should investigate. Here are the results. Brandon is laughing so hard he just couldn't stop. It was hilarious.

Out of order but Brandon turns 6!

Brandon turned 6 in Febuary and boy was he excited! He had his first birthday party and had lots of friends over. Here are a couple of pictures.

Happy St. Patricks Day

We were trying to take a picture of us as a family for St. Patricks Day......these are the results :) This one is good.

Awww! What a cutie.

LOL! Eyes are closed :)

Aw, here we go. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone.
