Halloween

Halloween was fun but I missed having Kay around to do all the fun activities! Kay went with the SUU Football team on a road trip which is pretty awesome as a first year student... so I am really proud of him but did miss him!

We of course celebrated Halloween on Saturday this year and I was with my family and we did some really fun things! We first made Halloween cut out sugar cookies to decorate. Then we started making dinner which is chili and breadsticks a Halloween tradition in my family and then we carved some pumpkins... well us kids did and then the best part was making homemade donuts!!! They were AMAZING!!! Then I was so excited to answer the door because I just love seeing all the kids in their cute costumes... and I have to say there were some very creative ones!

~Our Gift~

Hadlee sent us a gift from Heaven,

something very small,
his name could be Mowgli, Kobari or Kevin,
a little rascal for us all,

She sent a little brother,
as speedily as she could,
to watch over father and mother,
as we knew she would!

IT'S A BOY!!!

Yes we are pregnant and due in March... again, we must like that month, and yes 2 kids in less than a year!!! We never saw that one coming but life throws you curveballs!!!
Ya I know the poem is cheesy and those really aren't names we are thinking of it's just one big inside joke!

Catching Up!

Well I have some catching up to do! Lance's birthday was the 12th of September and Emilee decided she was going to get him tickets to a Dodger/Giant game in Cali and invited us to come along and we couldn't pass up the opportunity! So Labor Day weekend Lance, Emilee, Kelli, McKay and I headed to Cali for some fun!

Us headed to the game! Everyone was cheering for the Giants except Em and she is a Dodger fan so it made it fun!We sat in the all you can eat section at Dodger stadium and believe me Kay made sure to fill up! Also we got there early for batting practice and we were headed to our seats and found 2 balls under our seats so we didnt even have to fight Dodger Fans for them!

Kelli chillin' before the game!

Kay making sure the Giants will be hitting well during the game!All of us after the game smiling big because our Giants won!!!Sunday we hit a sacrament meeting then headed to the temple that night! BEAUTIFUL!Monday before we headed home we stopped by the Staples Center in hopes that the Fan store would be open but we had no luck!

McKay in front of Magic Johnson!So there was our fun Labor Day Weekend Getaway!

Now for some catching up on life! We are half way through the college semester! McKay is loving the Athletic Training program and is doing great with all his responsibilities!

Here is Kay at a home SUU football game looking sharp!Here he is headed into the locker room after the game to take care of the football players!This last weekend he was able to go volunteer at the Hunstman World Senior Games as a Medical Staff guy and actually got some action! It was so fun to see him run out on the field and do what he has been training for! I really think he will like this career choice and I am so happy for him! He is also thinking about doing an internship this summer in Florida and we hope he gets that opportunity! It would be great and fun to hang out in Florida for a while!!! As for me work is going well and school is going pretty easy on me! We are loving life and excited for all the new things to come!

Hadlee's Headstone

It finally got here!!! I am so excited and it looks wonderful!

It got here on Sept. 2nd and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!

~FRONT~

~BACK~...and yes those are her real foot and hand prints!

YEAH!!!

Busy! Busy!! BUSY!!!

Wow life has been crazy! So here is a brief overview of the month of August since it is almost coming to an end!

McKay started his Athletic Training program the very first of this month! It started with football and they were having two-a-days! So he would leave Enterprise at around 7:00 a.m. and get home around 8:00 p.m... so very long days for him but he seems to be loving it!

I finally got a job!!! Yeah! I am working at Cedar High School with the severe special need students and I already love it and the kids I work with!

We both started school this week and well it's school!

Hadlee's headstone was supposed to be here last week and somehow it now will arrive Sept. 1st they say... I hope because I have been really anxious! I hate this waiting game... plus her grave needs something it's so plain!

My sister came out to Enterprise this last Saturday and her my mom and I made it a day of making homemade salsa and finishing my BYU quilt... and yes it's finally done!

Last but not least Labor Day weekend Emilee invited McKay and I and Kelli to go with her and Lance to a Giant game at Dodger stadium for Lance's birthday and how could we turn down that fun? Well we couldn't so we have a trip here in about a week and I will update again then!

~Flaming Gorge~

It is a long post Ill warn you now... but this is my journal/scrapbook so I want everything on here!

After my family went to cousins camp this year we headed straight to Flaming Gorge! My family went there a lot when we were little but it has been a long time since we went, so as our summer vacation before life started we headed up there and had the time of our lives! We really enjoyed it!

Just driving up to the lake and about to go under kissing bridge!... (it's not really called kissing bridge it is just my family has always called it!) That is also my parents in front of us! We took our own car!Found our camping spot at the famous Mustang Ridge and getting ready to set up the tent trailer!Our camp! Sam and Scott decided to sleep in the tent with the food and clothes we shoved in there and the rest of us were in the tent trailer of course!The night we got there us kids decided to go fishing! So this is McKay filling up the bobber!Kay and Isaac fishing!The next day we took the Dam Tour!... always interesting! Kay (goofball I know), Isaac and Scott overlooking the dam!The Dam...At the end of the tour when you are all the way to the bottom by the river you get to feed the fish! There are tons... because they know thats where the food is and they are big and they wrestle over the food when you throw it in! Pretty funny!McKay eating lunch!That night we went fishing again this time right below the dam on the side of the Green River!

The boys waiting before the trek down! Kay thinks he is pretty funny!...So I told my family when we started this trip that no one ever catches fish when I go fishing with them! Sure enough no luck these first couple times!

Kay and I about to catch us some fish... beautiful river!

Kay about to go find the snake Isaac ran away screaming from!...Found the snake and was poking at it with his big stick!...Dad casting his line!...Kay and I decided to head up the river a bit! So here is my dad, mom, Isaac and Scott chillin' on the fishing dock!Kay casting his line!... yes he is standing in the water... it's freezing!!!... He usually is a super big wimp when it comes to water that is not 90 degrees! He usually won't get in... and he almost fell casting off his line... haha to bad!!!The next day we rented a raft and rafted the river! I was so excited for this day!!! Us unloading the raft!...The whole family went the first time down... it takes about 2 1/2 - 3 hours! Had so much fun! Jumped in a few different times... threw some people in a few different times... rocked the boat... almost got high centered on a rock... but of course McKay chickened out and wouldn't get in and my family was to afraid to throw him in!!! Lame!

The next trip just the kids went! We again jumped in a few times... went down a few rapids backwards just for fun... Isaac fished off the back... and we did a lot of circles... but of course McKay chickened out again and my family was lame again... so Kay still never got in the water!

Us kids starting our trek!!!At the end of the rafting trip you only have two chances to get to the boat ramp to get out... well us kids were being silly and missed the first one hit a huge rapid just after that almost threw McKay out of the boat and then we tried hard to catch the second one and barely did! Oh good laughs!!!

The next day we set up camp on the beach in a little cove off the lake and just swam the rowed around in the raft and tube we brought!

Kay being a wimp and my dad had just jumped in!!!Scott and Sam paddling around the cove!!!YEAH!!! Kay finally got in... Isaac, me and my dad just chilling!...Isaac stuck in the middle on the tube...McKay and I went and picked up Isaac...Then us ditching Isaac cause he was being silly!!!Skipping rocks...McKay, dad and mom sleeping under the canopy while I am trying to catch some sun!!!After we got back from swimming on the shore McKay and I showered packed up and left to get back to Enterprise for the 24th of July! My family stayed an extra day! On our way out McKay and I stopped at a lookout and got a picture of part of the lake and the bridge! BEAUTIFUL!!!

I just love Flaming Gorge and family vacations! Yeah for fun times!!! Yes they fished the night we left and caught two! Told you I was bad luck!!!
