California Vacation Part 1

We went to the most magical place on earth and loved it!! Matt was able to take a week vacation from work for the first time in 2 years and we had a blast on a family road trip! We started out driving down on Halloween Morning at 6:00 a.m. Look at the kids, don't they look like they are having fun in the car?:) They were so good! Thank goodness for modern day technology. Who does road trips without GPS, car movies, and ipod touches? Disneyland still had their Halloween decorations up which was cool to see. Right when we walked into the park there was Pluto! The kids had their autograph books all ready to get signed. We had alot of fun going on rides, one of my favorites is the Nightmare Before Christmas! Stay tuned for more posts and pics!

Fall Family Time

What do you do when it's raining outside? Skip your idea of going to a corn maze and pumpkin patch and instead go bowling, eat doughnuts and chocolate milk, and decorate pumpkins.

My little bro and his wife with their soon to be baby are moving out of state, so we are trying to spend as much time as we can together:) I am going to miss that kid, but I am so excited for all the new things they will get to see and do!















Liked-Seeing my mom happy. She has been sick for a long time and today was a really good day for her.
Didn't like- Matt missing out on the fun:(

11 Amazing Years

Today marks the 11th Anniversary for Matt and I. It's scary to think that it has been that long, because it sure seems to have flown by. I love everything about Matt. He is one amazing guy that I am in awe with at how I landed him. It's crazy to think that a night of dragging Utah's Infamous State Street hooked me up with that guy! Yes, you read that right! I met a returned missionary on State St!! Brahaha!! He has given me everything I could have ever wanted and so much more. Here's to at least 60 more fab years together babe!!

Talent

I love seeing what people are talented in. Some have one or two things they are amazing at. Some excel in many things. Matt is one of those. Things come naturally to him. I love it! I tease him about it, but if anything I am jealous and in awe of what he can do. We had an amazing photo session with a lady who has a talent for photography. Check out her blog for proof! www.wish-photography.blogspot.com

Matt printed out pictures of the kids and wanted to draw them. It's been a few years since he has done any drawings, but look what he did! He drew this during Conference yesterday (which I loved listening to!). The boy has talent. This picture is of Oakley. He is going to do Taylor next, and then Parker. I wish I could draw half as good as he can:)

Better late than never- Seattle pics!!

We had the chance to go up with Matt and stay in Bellevue Washington while he was working on the Seattle Temple. Our hotel was about a half hour away from Seattle and had to be one of the the most beautiful drives I have ever been on!! Matt worked like crazy, I worked while up there, but the kids and I were able to play ALOT!! Matt was amazing during the weekend and drove us 4 hours, plus a car ferry ride across the waters to go to Forks!!! I loved it there and loved him for taking us! I really didn't want to push it since he had drove the whole way from Utah to Wa, but he said it was not biggie! What a guy:) We went to the aquarium, space needle, kids museum, music and sci-fi museum, and zoo. We also went to an amazing botanical garden that was right by our hotel. I really, really loved it up there. It didn't rain the whole time we were there which made for a fabulous trip! Here are some pics!

A little of this, a little of that....

Doesn't the summer just funk up our schedules? I haven't blogged much because who has the time? But I promise in the next few weeks there will be posts! We took a trip to Seattle with Matt which was AMAZING! I went to Forks!!!! I had a pretty sweet spiritual experience thanks to my friend Em. The kids start SCHOOL tomorrow~~!!! So peeps, chill for a few and then check out our new posts!! Love ya all!!

Flowers are a girls best friend!

This is why I love Matt!! Flowers and chocolate frogs for me, chocolate rice krispy treats for the kids.
