Justin's 12 Birthday

Justin's favorite part about turning 12?!?  No more Primary!!!  He was so excited to be a Deacon and receive the Priesthood - and so were we!
Jeff surprised Justin at school on his Birthday and took him out to lunch.  After school we opened presents and headed to Justin's resturant of choice - Brick Oven!  To our surprise Cosmo the cougar was visiting.  Fun for the kids to get their pictures taken with Cosmo.  After dinner Justin had chosen Cheese Cake for his Birthday cake that we all enjoyed!
Justin is so funny and  such a calming force in our family.  He is adored/idolized by Ethan :)  and Justin is so patient and kind to Ethan - they are such good friends!  We love having Justin in our family!

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Picking

Our 13th year to Lindsay's Pumpkin Patch...getting so much harder to get a good picture of the family/kids!  We love this tradition of picking out pumpkins and fun we still get to go to the same place every year.  Plus getting to know the owners has saved us huge on buying Pumpkins!

We had a great time at Lagoon, and to top it off we went during Frightmares! All the kids loved it, plus Lagoon had several Haunted Houses that opened when it got dark that were included in the pass to Lagoon.  Such a fun Birthday for Ethan and a great way to finish Fall Break!

Ethan's 6th Birthday!

Ethan's birthday fell on Fall Break this year.  It was our last day to do something fun.  Everyone had been wanting to go to Lagoon because we didn't make it there over the summer.  Of course that was exactly what Ethan wanted to do!  Made for an easy birthday!

St. George

We headed to St. George to support  Uncle Scott and Aunt Michele run the St. George Marathon!  Unfortunately Scott hurt his knee and wasn't able to run.  Grandpa and Grandma,  Uncle Eric's family, Aunt Laura's family, Aunt Crystal and Ashyln all went!  We stayed at the same Hotel - fun!  And had most meals together.  It was a great weekend with family!

Girls Night Out

This year while the boys were at the Father and Son's I thought it would be fun to take the girls on an over night trip!  Of course it would involve a hotel not a tent :)  As soon as the boys pulled out of the drive way we were off to Park City.  First thing we did was shop!  Then off to dinner, swimming in the pool and some movie time before bed.  It was so much fun just being with the girls!

Father and Son's

Jeff promised he would take pictures at the Father and Son's, but no such luck!  This was the first year Ethan and able to go with Justin and Jeff.  They had a great time!  Ethan did request next year maybe they could sleep in a trailer instead of a tent :)
