Fire Station

After Festival of Trees, we went to see Uncle Jared at the fire station. He was so nice to take us for a ride in the fire truck. That was so awesome! Then the kids went and played racquetball. How many fire stations do you know that have a racquetball court. I'm guessing not many! Then Jared helped the kids go down the fire pole. Alyssa was the only one daring enough to do it on her own! Thanks Jared for letting us come and visit you! We had a great time!

Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees!

Aimee and I decided to take our kids down to the Festival of Trees. Yes, it was a Friday night, but the kids seemed to do pretty good. Of course Megan was complaining the first five minutes into it, but that is Megan! We had to stop for a treat half way through, but what is better than scones of cinnamon rolls! Some of my favorite trees were: the one dressed up like a snowman, the Hot Dog on a Stick (this one made me laugh), the sock monkey tree, the one that had a whole bunch of little shoes (this one's for my mom), and last but not least the Coke Cola Tree (that's for me!). We had a great time! Thanks Schreiner's for going with us!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We were blessed to have everyone come to our house for Thanksgiving this year. We had a great time eating, playing games, and just simply visiting with the family! Thanks to everyone who helped out! I am so thankful for Tim, Alyssa, and Megan. I am also thankful for my extended family. I am grateful for the relationships that we have that can bring us so close together!

Alyssa's New Toy

I am very proud of Alyssa for learning a valuable lesson - Mommy and Daddy won't buy you everything that you want! Her last I-Pod has been broken for about a year. She has been saving all of her babysitting money so she could buy a new I-Pod. Yesterday was the magical day when she had enough money to buy the I-Touch.

$214.00 later she now has it in her hands!

Way to go Alyssa!

Haunted Halloween

Halloween is here again. Carving pumpkins, dressing up, visiting Grandparents and trick-or-treating! Wait, my children hardly did the last one. It was raining like crazy, so they went with Brittney's kids around their neighbor. They only made it to 4 or 5 house and then they were done. Needless to say, my girls were done trick-or-treating by 6:15pm. It was the best Halloween for Tim. We weren't home, so he didn't have to answer the door and the girls didn't last long due to the weather. We headed home, Alyssa went to a party, and I got caught up on all of my recorded shows!

October Snow!

Who cares about homework; it's snowing so lets go out and play!

We have had a few nights of good measurable snow. After dinner, the girls suited up and went out for a night of fun!

The end of September, Grandma Holmes and Venette came down to Utah. We were all able to get together at Troy and Suzy's for a BBQ. Camille came up and this was the first time that we were able to see her cute little baby boy Roan. We all had a great time!
