Haunted Forest

The pumpkin patch we go to had a haunted forest for kids this year. The girls had fun going through it, especially Cloe. They loved the spiders, skulls, witch's cauldrons, skeletons and tomb stones.

Pumpkin Patch


We love to go to the pumpkin patch. We go every year and have so much fun. Here are the girls picking out our pumpkins. There seem to be too many to choose from.

Boogers and the Porta Potty

The girls and I took a trip to Logan this past weekend. We went to see my best friend, Sarah, who is in town from Virginia. While we were there, I had a good family friend, Terry Barnes, take pictures of my girls up Logan canyon. {Thanks Terry for all the fun and for taking pictures.} We had lots of fun hiking on trails and finding beautiful spots to stop and take pictures. It was a little cold and windy but we had a good time. On one of our stops, Brooklyn had to go to the bathroom. There was a set of restrooms right by where we parked so I took her in. When I opened the door and she saw the little porta potty she proceeded to freak out saying, "I don't have to go anymore! You can't make me!" I finally convinced her she would be okay and that I would hold onto her and not let her fall in. We then got back into the car and started driving. All of the sudden Brooklyn says to us all, "I'd rather eat my BOOGERS than use a PORTY POTTY again!!!" We all died laughing. That is such a "Brooklyn" thing to say! I love you crazy Brookie!

Aggie Ice Cream! Our FAVORITE!!!

We were in Logan spending time with family and friends. We spent this afternoon with our good friend, Terry Barnes who is really more like family. She treated us to Fredrico's pizza (YUM YUM YUM) and then to our favorite, Aggie Ice Cream! Thanks Terry :) We love you.


#1 flavor of all time. Cloe's favorite and mine, Aggie Blue Mint.


Brooklyn and Cloe totally oblivious to anything but the ice cream.

Shelley Spud Days

Shelley Spud Days rolls around again. The kids love Spud Days. The parade, the performances, the festivities at the park, and especially the food. Every year we get cinnamon almonds, fudge, frozen lemonade, ice cream, and usually a funnel cake. We eat enough to make us sick for a week. But we sure do enjoy it while it lasts.


Cloe in the jumping castle. Her absolute FAVORITE!!!


Brooklyn and Cloe took a ride on the lawn mower train!


Taysa and Brooklyn running against each other in the obstacle course!


I'm not sure which one finished first because they both came rolling out of the course laughing hysterically.

Cloe's 1st day of Preschool!


So I'm a little behind the times, but Cloe started preschool the beginning of September. She loves preschool. She gets so excited when it is a school day and on the days she doesn't have school she actually cries. She is learning so much and comes home singing the cutest songs and brings home the funnest papers that they work on. I'm so glad she loves school.
