iphone pics for November...

The silliest, cutest kids! 

I got to spend a weekend with some ward friends! We got a hotel in Phoenix and went to Time Out for Women. We talked, ate good food, and even did some shopping too! It was great!

Spending some time with our favorite neighbors...this was our last front yard play date! :(

My little Cowgirl!

I watched my friends little girl Sophie for her a bit this month. Lylah loves her and they had so much fun together! Beautiful girls in the swings! Lylah looks so old to me in this picture. 

Preston playing war with daddy. He loves this game! ( Especially when he wins! )

I watched both my friends girls on the same day and we had a party. Those girls had a blast together! They are just the cutest!

Me and Preston heard a big thump in the kitchen and ran in there to find nothing! So I looked in the backyard and found this bird...he was still alive taking his last breath. So sad! I can't believe it hit my window though, my windows are NOT that clean! Preston was sad about it...

Shanna's kids came over to play while they moved into their new house. It was such a bittersweet day. I HATE that they aren't there but that's life! So happy about their house though!

We tried taking some family photos for Christmas cards and it went HORRIBLE. Kids would not cooperate and it was so stressful!! I'm the one who should have been crying ;). 

Happy Birthday Spencer...

For Spencer's birthday this year we went shooting with family during the day! My kids always love getting together with the cousins to play! Preston runs around and the older girls always play, hold and love on Lylah. So its always a win for me ;). We had a blast on the Ranger, picnic and shooting the guns!

After we left the desert, we dropped off our dirty kids at Grandmas house! Shes the best and bathed them and watched them over night for us! We got a deal at the Scottsdale Resort and went and had our selves a "stay"cation. First we stopped at Joes BBQ to get Spencer's free meal! 

Happy Birthday Spencer! One year older and sexier too ;). XOXO. 

Halloween 2013...

Halloween was SO fun this year!! Preston was really into it...running from house to house and getting so excited about candy! Lylah was just learning and LOVED it. She got all the attention and would talk to everyone and she was just the cutest! It was our funnest year yet! The last two years I've always had their outfits coordinate but Preston REALLY wanted to be Optimus Prime and I just couldn't think of anything that Lylah could be that would go along. So we decided to make her Minnie Mouse cause shes obsessed with her anyway. I bought Preston's and made Lylah's big tutu! I think they both looked adorable! And they were both super happy and thats all that matters anyways! 

Happy Halloween!!

More fun...

We went to Ron and Debbies ward Halloween party. 3 cute cousins!

One of our good friends, Brandon, was made Bishop. So we went to Cottenwood to support him on Sunday. It was such a spiritual day and even better to spend some time with great company. We love those Stockbridges!

We went to the zoo with all our cousins!! ( haha we only have 2 ) But it was so fun! We love our Kamden and Radley!

Carving our pumpkins! Perfect FHE activity!! Love those Coons!

Beautiful baby girl waking up from a nap! 

Fishing in October...

We got to meet up with Spencer's cousin Matt, his wife Sabrina and their cute kiddos and do a little fishing! We met up at a fishing spot that wasn't too good for spear fishing but we stayed to see if we could catch anything with a pole. Preston ended up being the only one to catch anything. He was so dang excited!

 

After that we decided to go to Matt and Spencer's favorite spear fishing spot. It was a rocky little hike down to the river but it was worth it. The kids LOVED to see the fish that Spencer would spear and bring to them!

It was such a fun day! 

Pumpkin Patch 2013...

We ended up being able to go to the pumpkin patch twice this year. We went at night with Spenc, Grandma, Grandpa & Kristy. And then again with Preston's preschool! It ended up being perfect because the kids didn't want to leave that night. So when we got to go back they did all of their favorite things. We love this pumpkin patch and go every year! Love this little tradition! 

My kids are really lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma close. Grandma was jumping on the big bounce blow up and going down the huge slides with them. They had so much fun with them! 

Preston was in heaven when we went back with all his friends! He has the cutest little preschool friends!

My 2 cutest pumpkins!! I love them so!
