October

One of the things I love about fall is that there are always so many fun things to do. So here is what we have been up to.

St. George
We decided to make another trip to St. George. It was in the high 80's. What a nice warm break! It was so relaxing and fun.

We did a lot of eating. Of course we had to go eat at Nelson's Frozen Custard. I was so excited to find out that they had pumpkin ice cream! Yummmmm. It was delicious. I love this picture.

There isn't much that I love more than Danny's smile. I also love Cafe Rio which is what is all over his mouth. Danny was so happy to have Cafe Rio and then ice cream.

Sam was happy to be able to stand on the bench. A bunch of old ladies were asking what that was on his arm. It is a tattoo from Danny's birthday. It doesn't want to come off.

We went to Vegas the day of the Utah game. We didn't go to the game but we got to see Brian's sister, Kellie and her husband Ty. Danny had his arm around Ty and Brian so I decided to get a picture.

The boys watching t.v. in their towels.

Since their isn't a ton to do in St. George, we went searching for different arcades. The boys LOVED IT. We went to a couple different places with arcades. Let me just say that this makes me so excited to have a girl. We can go get pedicures while the boys golf and play video games. That is pretty much all we did, we golfed, played at the arcades, played at the park and swam a lot.

We love food! In case you are wondering, I was there but I am just not in any of the pictures.

My birthday

Last week, we went to Tiburon with Brian for my birthday. It was delicious as always. I also went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. It is always great to have good food on your birthday. I had a great birthday.

My friends and I went to dinner for my friend, Sariah's birthday. Happy Birthday, Sariah!

The only candle she had was the number 5. That was bad planning on our part. She was so happy anyway.

Little twinners. The boys were watching t.v. on my bed and not only were they dressed the same but Sam was posed the same as Danny too.

Danny was so excited to share his seat with his friend Parker. How funny.

Gardner Village

We went to Gardner Village when it was still warm and saw the witches. Danny was nervous about the witch next to us. His favorite was the witch on the toilet.

Sam, Sophie, and Danny.

Ok I hope you are patient because I saved the best for last. Sam is loving these goggles he found and loves to wear them. You have to watch this video to see how funny he looks.

Happy Birthday Danny!

Yesterday Danny turned 4! He had such a great birthday this year. We love you Danny!

Yay for Diego! Danny was so excited to get this game.

Sam loves Danny's new scooter. Our cute neighbor loves to push Sam around on it. It is so funny.

In case Danny hasn't stopped you on the street to tell you, he got a new bike! HE LOVES IT! He found it before my parents gave it to him so he got to ride it a little early.

My cute grandparents came to visit Danny and the second Sam saw my Granddad, he just started hysterically laughing because my Granddad is always so goofy.

If you notice, my Granddad is letting Sam hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

Yay! A Utah baseball hat! Actually that big smile is because my Granddad is so funny.

I had the same smile on my face while eating his birthday cake. I love Schmidts Bakery.

Brian's grandpa was so cute with Sam. He just fed him his birthday cake.

My sister, Whitney and her daughter Sophie.

Every year, we have my family and Brian's family come over for the boys birthdays. We love parties!

For Danny's birthday party, I made cupcakes. He wanted pink and purple. I thought that was funny.

This year we did everything that Danny wanted for his birthday party. He had a lot of fun. He just wanted to dance to "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks most of the time. It was really funny.


The boys danced at first but then they got sick of it.

But Danny's cute friend, Chloe never stopped dancing.

As long as Danny's party is on a Saturday, it looks like he will always be going to a Utah game on that day. Here is Danny and Grandma Janell.

Even though my hip was killing me and I could barely walk, I took Danny to the game because I really wanted to go. It was so much fun!

Danny spent most of the time taking random pictures of everyone and everything. Here is one of about 10 of Grandma Janell.

And Grandpa Paul.

Family Pictures

Ok for some reason this top part is underlined and I don't know why. Oh well. The other day my sister, Elizabeth and her boyfriend, Randy came out to our house and we went to the lake (just in our neighborhood... I like to brag about how cool our neighborhood is) and took pictures.

If it looks like I am smiling a little too hard in these pictures, it is because I am laughing so hard. Randy kept pretending like he was about to fall in the lake and it was so funny. He needs to be there for all of our photo shoots.

This was so funny. We told Danny that if he smiled big for the pictures he could play in the lake. He just ran around with his shorts pulled up so high. He loves the water.

Park City with the girls

A year ago, a bunch of girls from my neighborhood planned a weekend to Park City. We have decided to make it an annual trip in September. It was so fun and this year it was a totally different group of girls so I got to know some new girls.

Dinner at Baja Cantina. Yummm! I love this restaraunt.

Jane, me, Kendra, and Jenn at dinner.

The next night we went to the Eating Establishment. I was not a huge fan of this place. I was just happy to be having dinner with the girls though.

HOT TUB!! I was sad that I couldn't get all the way in but at least I could put my legs in.


We made sure to go to a movie. We saw All About Steve which was TERRIBLE! I knew it was going to be but I figured since everyone wanted to see it, I would just follow the group. A bunch of us left in the middle and ended up watching the last 1 1/2 hours of Julie and Julia which was so much better. I love movies.


We got free rides on the gondolas it was so fun.

Beautiful view.

Weeeeee! Haha. I don't know why I am so weird sometimes. Everyone was just posing so serious for these individual pictures and I didn't.

Haha. This is Michelle pole dancing. Kind of blurry.

Another cheesy picture of me. These guys thought I was going to do some seductive pose like Michelle but I didn't. It was kind of akward.
