A much needed getaway.

Lets play catch....up! haha! So last weekend I finally got the opportunity to visit my family, its hard to make time to go anywhere when your husband works EVERY Saturday, but this weekend Deryck had a business trip to go on and had to drive through Cedar so I thought it would be a good opportunity to visit the family. Deryck drove down with a coworker who was also going on the trip the night before so that they wouldn't have to drive down early Thursday morning which is good news for me so I wouldn't have to drive him EARLY that morning. The kids and I drove down Thursday night and surprised my family, it was so much fun! It was so nice to get to hang out with everyone and play games together again, have a dance battle while playing the XBOX kinnect (which by the way is Flippin awesome!) and just sit and laugh with my sister and mom. Grant even got to have dinner with the ward missionaries (my mom was feeding them that night) and he was so excited about it. Aunti Andi and Uncle Tyler treated me and the kids to a showing of Tangled, which was absolutley fantastic and it was Evyn's first real experience watching a movie like a big girl with her kiddi combo pack and her own seat! It's not often that we get to go to the movies, so The next day we went to Harry Potter, with my brothers Anton and Aaron, and my all time favorite Alexis (aka aaron's/Grant's girlfriend ;) ) and Deryck, Love love loved it! Saturday I got to spend some time with my dad while giving him a ride to Orderville to pick up a work truck, good chatting and good times, that is until his work truck's fuel pump stopped working on the way back just 15 miles up the canyon ;) Deryck's trip was more than successful which made the weekend even better ( we all know that is a good thing;) We topped off the weekend with Impromptu family pics since we were all together and it was a good time.

Gotta love my family, what a good looking posse!

I didn't get around to editing these but everyone looks cold except for dad, good choice on your background pops!

haha! my inner "special" came out in this one!

Could not get Evyn to look at the camera, granted it was cold and she just wanted to get out of there, but don't you just love Grant's cheesy face in all the pics? ;)

Boring blogging/ SEW....What's up!

Ok so I really want to blog but I always feel like I have to have pictures on all of my posts, well looks like Im going to have a really Boring blog for a while because my camera is busted;( so sad because I have all this stuff to take pictures of and NO camera. First off, I found as my friend Megan would say "a jem" of a sewing machine at the DI and amazingly it is fully functional and all parts are metal! YAY! I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, most of you are thinking "why didn't you just buy a new one?" well for those of you who know about sewing machines, know how expensive a good machine can cost and most of you who know me, know that I am borderline CHEAP, and broke (but that's a whole different story) haha. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I found out this machine was in great working condition and only $20. I would love to say I have sewn a million things with it already but the truth is I find that the only time I have to sit down and sew is when the kids are naping, NICE! I love the kids clothes at GAP, but find their clothing to be rediculously OVER priced, So I frequent the store (with phone camera ready) and snap pics of my favorite pieces, examine the fabric and identify the pattern and before you know it Im home sewing a replica for usually under $8, this is where I wish i had my camera so you could see for yourself, Maybe I'll just take all my pieces over to my cousins or have one of my friends snap some photos of them. Can't wait to share my creations with you!

Spooks, Tricks, and Treats!

This year for Halloween we enjoyed a Day at Cornbelly's (pictures coming soon) as a gift from my parents. Then we spent the night trick or treating with cousins!

Grant was M.I.A. for this picture, but in case you couldn't tell, that is Evyn on the far left, she was Tinkerbell! since she has no hair, I made her a wig! haha! All of the kids were sooo darn cute!

And of course when one child starts to cry during picture taking, its like a chain reaction!

Grant, Reagan, and Mya loading up.

One of my favorite things of the night was Grant and his method for getting a lot of candy, "We got to hurry to the next one, then run to the next one!" and at every door he would say "Trick or Treat! Halloween! "

Cute cousins in their skeleton jamies!

The parting gifts

We dined on Navajo tacos, they were pumpkins!

Chelsea's homemade doughnuts and cookie dough spider truffles.

All thanks to this cute family, Thank you Chelsea and Josh!
