Letter Boxing

Okay, so those who follow Lisas blog, already know about letter boxing, but she got us hooked too! My kids think it is "totally awesome" to go look for treasure all over our cute little town of Cedar City. We found our first one at the lighthouse in Providence Center. Its such a fun thing to do with the family! Figuring out clues, finding it together, it was a really fun time. There are still 5 more in our area to discover. The best part was that the kids were having me blast the intro song to pirates of the carribean in the car on the way there because they felt like pirates finding treasure! Cute kids.

More bows!

So my friend gave me a tutorial on how to make bows. I pretty much just looked at the pictures and copied. I think they turned out pretty stinkin' cute though! I am thinking about making and selling them. Hmm... What do you think? I also love the flower ones and they are fun to make too.

Twilight...

Oh yes, the day finally arrived and me and some girl friends got to go see Twilight on opening night! We were as giddy as on Christmas morning! How emberassing right? Not a chance! The movie was good. Bella was kinda dry, but besides that I think they did a really good job with keeping with the story and everything.

And something awesome on the side, parts of it was filmed in my hometown of Vernonia Oregon! Crazy huh! The scenes where she is just arriving in Forks for the first time in her dads cop car and also the scene of the attack in the boat and the police station that followed. Both Vernonia! Crazy small world. I did totally think of Vernonia whenever she was discribing Forks, it sounded identical to me! And apparently they thought so too!

Anway, it was a lot of fun, in the movie theatre lobby , they had a gazebo set up that looked like the one from the prom in the movie, so we had to take our picture. :) I know we're dorks, but we know how to have a good time!

Logans 6th birthday!

Logan had his batman birthday party today! It was a lot of fun. I made batman capes for each child with some $1 fabric from walmart, they had some "bats" in a blanket, (lil' smokies in a crescent roll) had a scavenger hunt for their gift bags, (Joker had stolent them!) pined the face on batman, played a game called "bat collector" where they each had 3 batman carstock cutouts on their backs, then they had 1 minute to get as many as they could 'collecting' them off others backs. It sounds kinda lame, but it was hillarious! I highly recomend it. We all had a lot of fun! Logan got a lot of fun toys and a good time was had by all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!

Carving pumpkins!

I know, I know, halloweens over, but I never got around to posting our awesome pumpkins! So this will be a quick one. From Left to Right: Kailey with her cute pumpkin, Olivia with her Tinkerbell pumpkin, Logan with his Hulk pumpkin, and Isaac with his very scary pumpkin!

Halloween Party!

Well we had a halloweens party at our house, and we had tons of people and fun! It is crazy how big our family is when we all get together! Good times. The decorations were great (thanks to Lisa!) and the company was great too! There were some very silly costumes! I loved Soleil and Trents Thing 1 and Thing 2 from cat in the hat! So funny.

also theres a pic of me and the kids (including lots of cousins!) trick or treating. Fun city!

Isaac's Baptism

Isaac got baptized on Saturday. It was such a wonderful special experience! It was so great to have our family be there, you don't know how much it meant to us! Isaac is such a sweet loving boy and it has been such a blessing watching him grow into a young man. (sheesh, hes only 8, but he seems so big!). Jacob did a beautiful job on the baptism and confermation, it was an emotional experience, I was already crying during the first line of the opening song! I am so grateful to have the priesthood in our home and to have the knowledge of the true gospel. And I am so grateful for loving and supportive friends and family. Thanks to you all for being such good examples in our lives. We love you!
