Pinewood Derby...

It was Tyler's first Pinewood Derby!

We didn't have much notice to build a car, but he and Steve finished up his car in time.

They were literally trying to glue wheels in place 5 minutes before the race!

 The competition was pretty serious!

 They all had fun and were great sports!

Tyler placed "6th" over all and got an award for the car with "The Most Detail".

It was a fun night!

We Love Fall...

There is one bad thing about having a bunch of trees in your yard...every single leaf falls off and needs to be raked!

Luckily, I have these two helpers...

They are also ready for "No Shave November"...

Nice handlebar mustache Tyler!

It looks like Sophie is sporting a goatee!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Sophie...

I LOVE this age!  

She is so funny!

She has the best imagination...

 She Loves to dress up!

She loves to pretend play!

She's usually some kind of princess!

She loves me to do her hair...

 It's getting so long!

 I can't believe how big she is getting!

 Her smile melts my heart!

 She loves to play with her friends...

 Mickey is one of her favorites!

So is her cousin Allison...

These girls can play and play!

 She loves to shop...

 

She is my mini-me...she loves to shop, decorate and look for houses!

Whenever we drive by a house that has a sign, she'll yell..."Mom, that house is for sale should we move? It's cute!"  

She's a good example...

 Every once in a while she still looks like a baby...

I'm cherishing every minute with her, next year she starts school!

I'll miss my little buddy!

She keeps my day busy and interesting!

Halloween 2015...

Halloween and the October birthdays...

Then later that week was the ward party and the Halloween Parade at the school...

 Tyler is the only one at the Elementary School now.

Halloween Night...

 We had Libby as (Emma Swan), Zack (Link), Tyler (Kid Link) and Sophie (Lava Girl)...

Zack spent months making swords and shields for their costumes.

Then we waited until Halloween to carve pumpkins, we had to go to three places to buy pumpkins!

Don't wait until the last day!

They turned out really cool...

 Zack's is the storm trooper at the top, Sophie's is the castle and Tyler's is the ghost.

 Steve's is the mustache Gnome!

The kids went trick or treating and about 15 of Libby's friends came over for treats and a movie....

That ended with someone throwing up all over our new carpet.  

It was kind of a nightmare, but luckily his dad use to run a carpet cleaning business and he came over and cleaned it for us.

It's always an adventure!

It's always a fun tradition to count and sort all of your candy...

Happy Halloween!!

Another Birthday...

I celebrated another birthday on October 28th.

It was a great day!

I got to have lunch with these two cuties...

 Then we went shopping!

I'm sad we didn't get a picture with my Mom and Shelly too!

Then I got to go out to Spaghetti Factory for dinner with these cuties...

Nothing like a birthday full of great food and the people I love!

Lagoon {Frightmares}...

Zack and Steve went on a scout camp to Goblin Valley, so while they were gone Tyler and I took Libby and her friends to Lagoon.

I had fun with my date Tyler...

 He is one cute kid!

He has wanted to ride on the "Cannibal" all summer! 

 I've been trying to avoid it, but luck was on his side and we made it on!

I was so scared, but we survived!

We will definitely go on it again!

This kid is a dare devil!  

Every once in a while we saw Libby and her friends...

 There was a little drama with the teenagers that day...

 So I'm glad I got to spend it with this kid...

 I love Lagoon in the Fall...

 It's decorated cute and so much cooler!

I sure love these cute kids of mine. 

Thanks Shelly for taking care of Sophie!

 (You know that girl adores you when she picks spending the day with you over Lagoon!)

Goblin Valley...

Steve and Zack went with the scouts to Goblin Valley...

They had a lot of fun...

They did a lot of hiking...

 

 

I'm so glad that Steve could go with him. 

 I sure love these boys of mine!
