Ward Easter Egg Hunt and Usery Pass Picnic....2011

This year it was at 8 instead of 8:30.....I know you say it's only 30 min later...but seriously I NEED that extra 30 min in the morning to get up and get going...really it takes us that long just to load up everyone in the car....we always forget something! Gunnar and Bella had so much fun....Gunnar wasn't quite sure what to do...but then he got the hang of it and especially when he saw the football egg...he KNEW exactly what that was...except it made noise...funny! At Usery Pass it was fun too...especially the little hunt then also...and the crazy guy who picked up a snake and had the kids touch it!! But it was really nice out and a good time to hang with the fam and bbq and picnic...Some fun pics of us!

love the plumbers crack...ha!

A HaLLoWeEn Post..!

Ok so instead of multiple posts I thought I would do them all together.....I have to get busy on my girl's costumes, I only have a couple of days left..lol
We made Monster Cookies and put them in these cute bags I did up for our traditional "Booing" in our neighborhood...that was fun!


We carved pumpkins last Mon...for FHE...poor Sabrina got knife happy and her pumpkin became the "faceless" pumpkin lol!

We love pumpkin seeds...YUM!

I made a bunch of ties for Gun...and they turned out soo cute, they are double sided so this one is his "halloween" tie...

This we were on our way to the Pumpkin Patch.....

And this is my door wreath I did awhile back.....I love it...I got the sign at the dollar store and I used black jute, and all kinds of different fabrics for the rosettes! I am in love with lace now! Can't you tell!?:)

Family {FuN}!!

So we went to my not so favorite place, Amazing Jakes for R.J.'s football fundraiser and had a great time!! Gunnar was good probably because he was in my best friend "Mr. Sling"..lol..Bella had a blast, she is soo cute....a friend of mine had her shirt blinged out and it says "Big Sis" sooo cute..... I loved seeing the kids have fun and play to thier hearts content untill about 11pm then we were done..!

New Year's CeLeBrAtIoN...!

We went out to eat at Chili's for dinner and then went to the stake center where a friend of ours has her annual New Years Party and dance until about 11:30. The kids always enjoy going to that because its all the teens dancin away and they CAN Dance..! After that we came home to watch the New York ball drop and had our sparklin champaigne...(apple cider) some friends of ours heard us doing some firecrackers and they brought over what they had....we were probably soo loud but thank goodness the cops weren't called on us..!! We had a great time...for FHE the following Monday we talked about our family new year resolutions...and one of them was to definetly do San Diego beach again...go figure..!

Cute Bells with her lil' cup....

Snow in Arizona..?!

Yep that's right, a friend called to let me know that Golfland would be bringing in snow and it was only $1.00 admission online to get in on the fun....we decided to do it and check it out! It ended up being alot of fun for the kids and Bells had a blast...I was really surprised she took to it like she did. She didn't care one bit about being cold...so much that she took her gloves off..lol! We plan on taking the kids up north after the holidays for a snow day!

Trip to the Pumpkin patch...!

So we went on Mon. for FHE....and had a good time, the kids still love to do this every year and I am glad!! Some of us weren't decked out in Halloween attire because they weren't home, but that's ok.....Sabrina was bummed. Bells had a blast, I love to see her so excited about stuff!!!
