School fall Carnival

In late September we went to the girls' school carnival

There were lots of things to do

Everyone had fun!

The kids ran ahead

Bruce started walking with Reagan

I was on my way catching up

when I saw this

Reagan LOVES her daddy

Bailey took off with her friend

the younger three dug in the sand

Morgan and Owen had fun in the blow-up slides

Morgan, Owen and Reagan all enjoyed the mini golf

Morgan and Owen tried to make the monkey fly

and knock the blocks

I was able to catch Bailey just in time

climbing the rock wall

she made it to the very top!

Our cute little neighbor, Adi

was brave enough to try it out too

Reagan got very sticky from all the cotton candy

Morgan and Owen had just enough tickets to get their face painted

We love the school carnival

it gets better every year

were excited to see what they will have next year!

Bailey for Secretary

In the beginning of the school year

there were elections for Student Body Officers

Bailey came home and announced that she wanted to run for Secretary

We made lots of posters

with the help of my cousin Cami

We used two slogans

"Bay is the Way for Secretary"

and

"Bailey isn't Lazy, Vote for her or you'll be Crazy"

She didn't end up winning

but she sure had fun while it lasted!

Hide 'n Seek

The kids love to play hide 'n seek

too bad we don't have a lot of places to hide

Reagan and Owen liked their spot under the counter I couldn't believe how tan they were

You forget what tan looks like

when its cold and everyone is pasty!

Payson City 'Onion Days' Carnival

We missed the Springville 'Art City Days' this year

so we had to be sure to catch the 'Onion Days'

The kids, mostly, had fun

Reagan was a little over whelmed

Bailey had nobody to ride with

all the kids had a chance to ride a few rides

*WARNING...PICTURE OVERLOAD*

Reagan and Owen liked the ducks and boats

The merry-go-round

Bailey did the Super Slide

Bailey, Morgan and Owen all did the maze

Morgan, Owen and Reagan all rode the choo-choo train

Morgan wasn't very excited about it...

Bailey rode the Gee Whiz with Aspen, Mckenzie, their mom and Grandma

Morgan, Owen and Reagan all finished up with the dragon roller coaster

Overall we had fun.

Bailey wished she had someone to ride more rides with

Reagan was a little overwhelmed with everything

We can't wait until next year!

Jolly's Ranch

Bruce's mom wanted to have a BBQ

at Jolly's Ranch for her birthday in September

It was lots of fun

we missed Toni and her family

Heath and Vanessa were in the hospital with Mason

so we took Chase and Sadie

and met everyone else up at Jolly's Ranch

We roasted hotdogs

had chips and melon

and topped off the evening with s'mores

Owen loved putting sticks into the fire

We made sure to let him know

that we only mess with fire if a grown up is around

While the Dad and Owen got the fire going

the girls got filled up on Cream soda!

I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did
my battery ran out
plus I was worried about stuffing my face
We need to do these BBQ's more often
it was a lot of fun!


Happy Birthday Colleen!

First day of school

I don't know if I will ever be caught up with my blog,

but I am trying!

The girls started school in August

Bailey started 5th grade

Morgan started 2nd

Owen was supposed to start Kindergarten

but we decided to hold him back

give him one more year to mature a little bit...

Both girls were very excited to start school

a little nervous

but still excitedBailey's teacher is Mrs. Buys

she is a fun, bubbly teacher

but she also expects a lot from her kids

Morgan's teacher is Mrs. Butler

She is more structured and firm

but very loving

Morgan was worried

she had heard from kids that Mrs. Butler was mean

But Morgan gave her a chance

and she loves her teacher!

Bailey was a little embarrassed with me taking so many pictures

Morgan wanted me to stay and take more!

What a difference a few years make!
