Provo Temple

I live 1.1 miles from the temple! I have never lived that close to one before. When we walk to school, you can see Angel Moroni through the trees. I love it. I try to go as often as I can and we try to take the kids whenever we can so they can understand how important they are in our lives. The flowers were all pulled out from summer, but the leaves sure were pretty.

RoCk CaNyOn PaRk!

We love this park. It's actually pretty close to our house but all up hill so we just drive to it. We had a picnic one afternoon and brought everyone along for a fun afternoon.

Daisy and Lindsay with their great grandparents.

The whole gang.

This park has some seriously big hills. We can't wait until we can come sledding. Cooper loves to throw his truck down the hill and then chase after it. Except the hill is so steep he usually just tumbles down.

We had so much fun with my mom and sisters visiting. I didn't take nearly as many pics as I should have but we had lots of fun.

The Apple Tree

My grandpa and grandma have a huge apple tree in their backyard. It has yummy apples that we love to eat. Everytime we go over there, Grandpa gets his apple picker he made and starts throwing them to the ground. The kids love to gather them up and bring them home. Cooper was collecting the apples in his dump truck.

Sunday dinner

I miss Sunday dinners at my mom's. It was fun to have everyone go to church with us then come home for dinner and games. The girls are playing sardines. Daisy is hiding.

Cooper having a pre dinner snack, waffles. Yum.

LAGOON!

Every summer growing up, we would all go to Lagoon with our cousins. It was so much fun. Now my kids love going too. I've never been during fall. It was fun because they decorate it for fall and Halloween. At night some "scary" people come out. It's alot of fun to watch. Toree got chased down by a guy with a chainsaw!

It was a cold day. I had a fleece lined hoodie and coat and gloves on all day. But I stayed warm and we stayed all day until they kicked us out at closing. It was just a girls day. I must admit it was nice not having to chase Cooper around all day.

They're Here!

My mom, Jamee, & Toree made it Wednesday from Arizona! We haven't seen them since May and we have been counting down the days for them to get here!My mom brought the Lego's for the kids to play with. They will be all over the house, I'm sure.

Jamee, our new roomie, making herself at home! Yep, she's moving in with us!

Toree already texting her friends in Az. Whatever. I'm sure she did that the whole drive.

The kids helping grandma with some of her Christmas crafts.

Jamee & Toree brought their longboards so Daisy had to get Jeff's skateboard out too. They are here for a week and a half. We have lots of fun stuff planned!

She makes me proud

I was making dinner one night and the girls were in their room playing house. The next morning I went in there to put away laundry and I found this on the floor. Daisy was the mom and was looking through the ads and cutting coupons. Haha! Like mother, like daughter.

Just Because

I got a whole bunch of pics my sister had taken and I wanted to put them on my blog so I could put them in my blog book. If you haven't made a blog book, you should. They are super fun and it is SO much cheaper and faster than scrapbooking.

It seems way to cold to be doing this, but it was warm at one time.

Nerd

Trying to take this kids picture isn't that fun. I told him to smile and he turns around and makes a face.Getting closer.

Ok. That's better. That's almost a normal smile.
