A fun project

Ever since we've moved into our house (2 years ago) I've really wanted to paint this bathroom and the cabinets. But I've been REALLY nervous to do it. I was finally able to get some advice from a friend and did exactly what she told me to do on the cabinets. Here are the before and after pictures.

I was REALLY happy with how it turned out although Mollie keeps asking why I painted my bathroom blue (its supposed to be grey!) And I LOVE the cabinets.

Next step....a new tub and tile! Someday it will be complete!

Utah State plays BSU

Our very generous good friends wanted to take their son to the Utah state game when they played BSU. And since we are BSU fans and these boys have been best buddies since the day they were born, they invited Carter to tag along and spend the night with them.

 Jenna sent me a few pictures and movies and they were both in heaven. It was sad that BSU lost...majorly....but it didn't get Carters spirits down. He was really undecided about who he was going to cheer for anyway since he likes Jace's team too.... :)

 They had a blast and I'm always so glad that they can pick up right where they left off and be silly best buddies again. We miss you Sorensons and thank you so much for taking Carter for this fun experience!

Halloween 2015

As usual, there are several festivities to attend during the Halloween holiday. Now that Carter and Mollie both go to public school we thought we should support the school carnival. They started with a Halloween parade around the neighborhood and the weather couldn't have been more perfect!

 The next party that we always look forward to is the joy school Halloween party. They are nice enough to still include us although Mollie has graduated! Look at all those cute faces!

 There is always a feast after all the fun

 Little Miss Ry got in on the festivities too!

 This years pumpkins....not the greatest pics but we have batman and a funny face.

 

It was finally time to trick or treat! We hit our old ward boundaries and it was fun to run into old friends we haven't seen in a while.

 Brielle was such a trooper and walked most of the way. She was exhausted but amazed at this pile of candy!

Fun weekend at Grandmas

My brother and his family were in town and so we headed up to celebrate a birthday and spend some time with family. We thought it would be fun to go up to Lake Cleveland for a picnic but it was  FREEZING so we didnt stay long but it was sure beautiful!

                                                                  Cousins!!!

I remember going to my grandmas and playing in her leaves for hours so it made my heart happy when I looked out to see my kids having tons of fun in the leaves.

 It was even funner when Grandpa hopped in and let the kids bury him and tackle him in the leaves. I love the cows just standing there watching us!

It was fun to be with 3 of 4 of my brothers. You can tell we are all cut from the same cloth! We were missing justin so we took a USie and sent it to him. We did get to skype with him later that night.

 We got to celebrate my nephew, Ashton's, 3rd birthday. He loves ninja turtles so we threw together a few decorations and mom made a cake and we had a party!

 This was a extremely candid moment when my brothers opened their Superman pjs from mom and had the sizes switched...Jordan in a Medium and Adam in a Large! We all got a good laugh out of this.

 Ever since Rylee was blessed we have wanted to take a picture with grandma and the beautiful blanket she make for her special day. I LOVE this picture of them both.

 Mom gave us one of HER dresses when she was a little girl that my grandma made. Bri loved twirling and playing in it.

 It's so nice to go home to my moms and spend time with everyone and just be comfy and taken care of! My mom knocks herself out making our family get togethers a fun time and I'm so grateful for all she does. My dad too. I love staying up late talking with my brothers about life, religion, family and quoting movies only we can laugh at. I'm grateful for my childhood and the good relationships I have with my family.

Annual Cornbellies Trip

We got invited to our old preschool groups annual Cornbellies trip and we have loved it every year. This year it was especially fun to watch Brielle enjoy it all. She could have spent all day on this little slide and been totaly happy, but there was so much more to enjoy

 The corn pit is always a favorite by everyone. I love the look on her face!

 Here are a few of the older preschool group kiddos.

 Mollies BFF got to join us although she has moved to SLC and they were inseparable! And you can't leave without taking a picture in the giant chair!

 We took a chilly hay ride and the kids all enjoyed it too.

 These next pictures capture my kids and their different personalities just perfectly! Carter is a show off and thinks hes a pretty cool guy. Which I tend to agree with!

Brielle rules the roost and is determined to get her way.
Mollie is into makeup and posing and looking "cute," which I also agree with! Its so fun to see joy and excitement through my kiddos eyes and see them happy. I like to go to fun things like this just to be able to see that happiness. Until next year!
