Corn Maze Field Trip

Kate's preschool went on a field trip to this fun corn maze. She got to ride on the bus for the first time and dig for candy, play games, and go down this enormous slide. Then afterward they took us to a fancy restaurant and fed us quesadillas and chips and salsa.

Waterfall Canyon

We took a hike up waterfall canyon. Tyler only made it halfway so he and I played in the water while Aaron and the girls hiked to the top. Aaron had taken pictures of the waterfall, but then about 2 weeks ago someone broke into his car and stole his blackberry. They also took his temple clothes which makes me laugh because they thought the bag had electronics in it. I guess the jokes on them! "get thee to the temple and repent thief"! They didn't just break one window, they broke two so it cost twice as much to fix, so thanks for that!

Happy 12th Anniversary

For our 12th Anniversary we stayed at a condo in Bear Lake for the weekend. We had dinner at the Olive Garden, then drove to the grocery store and picked us up some delicious steaks for the next evening. Aaron grilled us dinner the second night and it was better than eatin out! The lake was cold, but at least it wasn't crowded. We wanted to rent a tandem bike, but couldn't find one, so we spent the day at the dock. This was the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 and since we were married on 9-11 we always watch the news re-broadcast it. No kids this time, just us.







We couldn't leave until we got those famous raspberry shakes from La Beau's.

First Day of Preschool

Kate's first day of preschool. She has had so much fun there. Teacher Mitzy is a lot of fun and Kate feels like a big girl finally.

Random

I came home from work one night and found Kate asleep under her bed. This made me laugh.

Chillin with grandpa at the Payne Family Reunion



Tyler's 3rd birthday with Thomas The Train cake.

TRAINS, TRAINS, AND MORE TRAINS

We went with cousins to see the trains at the Union Station since that is Tyler's passion in life.














I call this next picture "OVERWHELMED"!

This summer we took the kiddies to see the mini trains in Farmington. Always a good time.

5K

This is Shaylee and Jesse crossing the finish line during our family 5K run for diabetes. My family is awesome and they all set this up and participated in the Miller 5k Run for Diabetes. This was actually back in June, I'm a little behind in blogging our entire summer. Jenny made us all purple t-shirts that said "team Shaylee". A big thanks to my sister Becky, this was all her idea! I know this is 5 months too late, but Shaylee and I want to give my family a big thank you for supporting us. Everyone did great!







Arianne and Sarah crossing the finish line.

I admire Shaylee for having such a great attitude about her disease. She never complains about it. One day I hope that there will be a cure for type 1 diabetes, but for now they have really come a long way in keeping kids healthy.

Baptism

Shaylee and Arianne got baptized together. It was a wonderful day and I hope they both have happy memories of it for the rest of their lives.









They were so cute together and they were both grinning from ear to ear. Grandma Sheryn and Grandma Lorna both gave great talks and helped make the day even more special.



Kate wanted me to post a picture of her cute hairdo.

Thomas!

This is Tyler at the Heber Valley Railroad where he got to ride Thomas the Train. He loved it, but it was freeeeezing!

Spring

We FINALLY got to go to the park!!!!!!!!!!!!
