Grandma's Halloween Party

Grandma always goes over board on her Halloween party for the grand kids. My sister-in-law Meagan is awesome with  helping my Mom come up with creative ideas for the party every year. To start the party we had a Halloween themed lunch with the kids. They did a spook alley for the kids, where they had to crawl through it. Kellen and Karson wouldn't go in by themselves so I crawled through it with them, carrying Karson underneath me with one arm and pushing Kellen's butt with my other hand. I was really impressed with the spook alley I could tell it took hours to put together and the boys couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day. We than played games and did Halloween crafts with the kids. It was such a fun day.

Random Moments

 The mountain above Fountain Green this time of year is breath taking, so one day while Kellen was at preschool I took Karson and Korbin to a road above town and took their picture in front of the mountains. 

Kellen loves to climb trees, he is a little monkey.

General conference weekend we went up on the mountain to go get our motor home for the winter. We took a little walk down to the creek and the whole way down to the creek Karson had to stop every five seconds to look through his binoculars to see if he could see a deer. He is such a boy.  

I love my baby and I love that he snuggles me when he is ready for bed.

Trevor drew out for deer and for FHE we went up on the mountain and attempted to find a little deer for Trevor to shoot. We went on a little hike looking for a deer and the boys had fun playing in the gravel. Korbin ate a chocolate cookie in the car on our way up to the cabin, as you can tell he enjoyed it. 

Family Pictures

I love my family.

Trevor's 29th Birthday

I love this man, my husband, the father to our boys. I don't know how I got so lucky to call him mine. You know you got yourself a good one when he will fold laundry and put it away, wash dishes, bath kids, and brings me home chocolate when he knows I have had a rough day. That is what I call true love and I need to be better at not taking him for granite. He truly is amazing. I can't believe I am married to a 29 year old.....makes me feel old....at least he is a good looking 29 year old. 

Red Rock Relay

Running has been something I enjoy, me, the road, and the scenery is bliss. It's a time I can release stress and have some me time. With three little busy boys I don't get to run all the much anymore, I workout in the morning before the boys wake up, but it doesn't compare to going on a run. The idea of racing has never been appealing to me, but when my sister-in-law Trina asked me to do a relay with her, I decided what the heck I will give it a go. We didn't have to pay to do the race or for our hotel and we got two free tee shirts, a metal, and a blanket for doing the race. The ladies on our team were so kind and were good to cheer us on when we ran our legs of the race. I got nervous before I ran my legs of the race, for me it was challenging to push myself to run faster than my comfortable pace. My first leg was 6.77 miles with gradual uphill and my second leg was 7.17 miles with insane uphill to the point I wanted to throw up and sit on a rock and wait for someone to come find me. Trina has ran a lot of races and has done few marathons, from doing the relay with her I can tell racing is her passion and that is awesome, because she is good at it. A lot of the people I met there were the same way, but there were also a lot of people there who didn't look like much of a runner and were still out there giving it their all and having fun. I am glad I did this relay it was a good experience for me. I am grateful for Trevor who was willing to watch the boys so I could.

Horse Ride

We took Kellen and Karson on a horse ride with their cousin's up Nebo Mountain, it was a beautiful ride and the weather was great. It was Kellen and Karson's first trail ride, we have taken them on horse rides around the cabin or around town, but nothing like this. It was a pretty challenging ride with kids and it took us about four hours to get back to the trucks, but all the kids did so good I was really impressed with all of them. I was proud of Kellen for riding a horse by himself, at one point his horse jumped over a log and he literally did a flip in the air and lucky Trevor caught him by his pants before he could hit the ground. Kellen got back on his horse and kept going. I was also proud of Karson he rode with me and did great.
