Yea.... a new post!

First of all.... Happy Halloween!

And Happy Birthday to my Hunny! (Oct. 21st)
Luke and I had a blast coaching Riley's soccer team. We just finished. We only lost 1 game.

Riley loved soccer. He was not affraid to get right in the action.

Quilting in the Tetons. Girls sewing retreat and Momma Trace's Cabin.
Zanners and Me. RICK!!!!

Momma Trace and me. She is trying to teach me to sew. Poor thing.

Now thats a lot of sewing machines

So sexy Zan.

This is what I made. Halloween haunted houses that I turned into a table center piece thingy.

We went up to WA for my GMA's 75th birthday. It was fun seeing all the fam.

It is so gorgeous up there, especially this time of year. This is my sissy and her hubby.

SO GREEN, I do miss all the trees.

The whole clan going for a nature hike.

Here are the crazy cuzzies getting ready for our hike.

This ranch we went to is called Ensign ranch. (owned by the church) and this is where I went to girls camp every year growing up.

Riley & Emma with their hiking sticks. And cute Spence too.

Then we went to visit our friends in Tri-Cities. We stayed with Dan & Kim. This is Luke's dream bike that Dan bought and Luke was drooling over.
Dan was nice enough to let Luke ride it. NOT ME though no thank you.

We also visited my dear friend Lisa and her daughters. Camryn and Emma are just 3 weeks apart. And MaKenzie is not quite 1 yet.
Still best friends even after a year apart.

Back at Kim's. Riley and his best bud Dillan. Boy has Riley ever missed this kiddo. He only talks about him all the time.

Too cute.

Getting caught up.

Watching Luke play flag football. Eating sour Poprocks!

GO Luke, rebound that basketball ... uh is that the wrong cheer? Ü
We went fishing the other day and I caught 2 fish with my new pink fishing pole that Luke bought me. I caught the only fish that day. Oh and in case you can't tell by my adorable outfit, it was freezing. Stinkin wind. It was moving while I was holding it. Yes, I screamed. eeeeewww!
Riley needed a turn holding my fish.

For Emma's birthday we went to my sister's house in Fruitland and went horseback riding. The kids loved it. Can't you just see Riley mutten busting someday?
Emma & Kiersten

Auntie Heidi & Shannon
The teddy bear cake we made died so we improvised and made cake and ice cream buffets.
Make a wish
Opening presents



The new addition to our family. This little kitten came from a lady at work who was giving away kittens for free and they were already potty trained, a huge plus. So of course for a girl I had to name her Bella. Welcome to our family!

The kids are learning to be SOFT. My new craft project. My friend Kim's mom makes these cute pupkins so I copied her and made these big ones to go by my front door. They are so easy and fun.
2x6 $2.5o, Paint $.76, Rafia $2, Wire $2 = two cute pumpkins

Lost

Well I am not as big of a slacker as it may appear. My main reason for not posting lately has been that everything I own seems to be disappearing. Actually only 2 things are lost. First I lost my cell phone which Luke was not so thrilled about. But now I cannot find the charger for my camera so I can't get any pictures off of it to post. So here are a few older pictures but at least it is something.




This is Luke and I's primary class. CTR 5. We just go release but we loved it. Aren't they so cute?

Girls Weekend

My 2 best friends from highschool and I went to Park City to go shopping and catch up on years gone by. We had so much fun. We laughed till our sides hurt watching our video from our senior party. It is so good to have friends that you can always be yourself around. I love these girls and had so much fun. Love you Cilka and Mandi!!

Luke kept Riley and I took Emma. Luke and Riley and my Grandpa went fishing on Saturday and then on Monday my dad came down and fished with the boys. They had fun too.

1st day of school!

Today Riley went to his first day of kindergarden. And I promised my mom I would post pictures right aways so she could see, so here you go mom! Riley's teacher's name is Mrs. Makings and he goes to morning kindergarden. I didn't even cry. It was close but I made it. He absolutely loved class and he got to ride the bus home and said it was AWESOME so I guess he approves. I just still can't believe that my little man is in kindergarden. I am officially old now right?

Heading to school
Here comes the bus
almost here.....
The bus driver showing him where to cross the street
You can't really see it in this picture but he is grinning ear to ear!
