Are you sure you want to do this?

Oh the places we've been and the pictures that I have.  Are you sure you want to continue with this, and bring your so called unnamed e-mailing friends along with you?  They also should remember that I  have a camera also!    I shall start with this picture.  The look on your face says that you are a little worried what future posts could hold in store for you.  Like the great Tuff Hedeman says "When you mess with the Bull, you get the horn!"  I Love you!!  Happy Blogging!!!

Travis...

Well he is sitting on the couch, watching TV and eating ice cream so I thought I would add this super cute picture one of my loving friends just emailed me!  She will go un-named so Travis can wonder forever who is lucky enough to have this beauty for themselves!  Yes, he is still refusing to write a blog.  Although I'm getting a little nervous what he might write if he ever does do it! 

Travis

Well, I have to admit, this whole blogging idea was Travis's.  Not that I don't really enjoy it.  But it sometimes feels like one more thing I really need to do!  Anyway, I have been trying to convince him that it is way past his turn to write a post.  He won't.  So tonight I am taking a different approach.  I am just going to post funny pictures of him until he gives in and writes one of these!  Love ya honey :)

p.s. you know there are much worse ones, so just give in and take a turn already!

Baylee's Violin recital

It was so fun to go watch Bay at her recital actually not sound totally squeeky.  I love her to death, but listening to her play the violin the last few years hasn't always been pleasant.  She is beautiful, talented, kind and the most wonderful 10 year old in the world! 

My boring post

After reading Denae Handy's blog and laughing until I cried, and reading Darci Buhl's and seeing her blog change Hollywood's mind about the lesbians in Grey's Anatomy, my blog stinks! (k- I know Darci didn't change hollywood, but she should get some credit for saying something about it!)  Anyway, I think I will take Denae's cleaning tips and go wash the kids with paint thinner... I will let you know how it goes :)

Not a whole lot going on here.  We went to Dumont for Veterans' Day and had an awesome time.  The weather was beautiful, and the kids were a ton of fun.  The only down side of the weekend was that Tori stayed home because of gym.  She had a really good time with Grandma Connie though and got spoiled rotten!  No pics of this trip though, because both Trav and I forgot to bring a camera.  But you can just picture in your mind Cole and I flying over the sand dunes in our Rhino, right?  

Sad Day

My favorite "thing" is my halloween village.  I put it up the week after the kids go back to school. (yes the last week of August).  And it is a very sad day when November gets here and I am forced to take it down.  But it gives me something to look forward to next year :)

Halloween

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!  My kids were so darn cute in their costumes this year.  Bay was a vampire, and of course a gorgeous vampire.  Because as we all know from the Edward saga, vampires are all beautiful, so the costume fit my beautiful Baylee perfectly :)  Tori was a witch, but she wouldn't let me paint her face green, so she was a pretty witch. Kade once again was Obi Wan Kenobi.  We are seriously hoping to NOT be some form of a Jedi next halloween!  I would even be happy if we could be Yoda or Darth Vader or something, just not Obi Wan AGAIN.  And Cole was Chief Mickelson of the fire department.  And the cutest dang fireman I have ever seen (and there are some cute ones out there :)!!  Anyway, we had alot of fun trick-or-treating at the ward trunk or treat and dressing up for fall festival.  

Barry's Wedding

This last Saturday we went to St. George for my nephew, Barry's wedding.  He is such a sweetheart!  We are only 2 years apart in age so we grew up like brother and sister.  I was much closer to him in age than my actual brothers and sister.  He is such a great guy.  He is always smiling and a ton of fun to be around.  Cole was the ring-bearer in the wedding and actually did pretty good!  He wanted me to hold his hand walking up the isle but besides that he stood in the front and did really well.  My other nephew,  Brock and his girlfriend catered the entire wedding and did a great job.
