Halloween 2011

This year Jaxon decided he wanted to be an "Army Guy" only after I wouldn't let him be a puppy with a gun, which was his second choice after Morgan refused to let him be a "Kitty" - which I was all for since it would proably be the last time he would choose something cuddly.

Lil army guy - he got to have his guns!
He killed it!

Taylor, Jaxon and Ethan. E and Taylor decided to switch costumes...
The master carver, Mo and E gave him a run
for the title this year.

And Jaxons - using the carving tools all by himself and
playing in the 'guts' were the highlights for him

Ab-A-Doodles' 4th Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Abby had her 4th Birthday Party at a Gymnasium - brilliant idea Stacy! The kids got to run, jump, climb and go wild for almost 2 hours, and it was encouraged!

Miah jumped into the pit again and again and again

Abbys cousin, not quite 2, LOVED jumping into the pit

Jill couldn't resist the foam pit either! 

Jaxon didn't jump from up high but had fun diving
into the pit from the sides

Make a wish

I think she's excited

A Day with Charelle


My cousin Charelle plays volleyball for Montana Western and her team was in SLC for the weekend playing Westminster. It was so fun watching her and seeing what an awesome volleyball player she has become.



That night Morgan went to the Jason Aldean Concert with Charelle and her teammates and had a blast!

Hunting Season

The Second Week of October we headed for St. Charles for a week of hunting and camping. A nice quiet get-a-way. Mitch, Morgan and Ethan had spike elk tags and Jaxon and I had a stack of dvds. It was raining in the valleys on the Thursday before we left and snowing in the mountains, you gotta be die hard to do this!
Logan Canyon - on our way
The colors were so beautiful, especially with the snow that had just come down. Which also high lighted the red juice that Jaxon puked up after getting car sick from all the corners in that canyon!
.
From what I gather these three really have a good time out there together. The stories they come back with are pretty comical. Glad they enjoy it!
Ethan

Pretty sure he's lookin' for snacks... and maybe drying some of his clothes as well

Morgan - always smiling

Mitch
These guys are hunters, up before dawn and in the cold and dark. Unfortunately they didn't kill anything but they did have fun. As for Jaxon and I we stayed cozy in our camping trailer watching movies, roasting hot dogs and giant marshmallows in the afternoon when it was warmest, went fishing a couple times, got some good jogging and bike riding in and of course naps and homework! It was a wonderfully relaxing time 

Roughing it - ok so you can't quite get away from everything
