Wrestling with Grandpa!

Ding Ding Ding...Let the fight begin! Blake loves boxing. Nick and I are reluctant to get him boxing gloves for Christmas (which he is adamant he needs) simply because we already get beat up! Blake beats the crap out of me. I know what you're thinking..he's only 4, but I swear he's a tough and totally relentless little guy! Thank goodness for Grandpa. He's a good sport and took Blake on this time! Even Grandma got dragged into it in the end!

A Little Late...

With it almost being Thanksgiving, I thought it was probably time to put my Halloween pictures on. The kids had a great time and were super adorable! I love that they are old enough to really enjoy the holidays now since they understand them. I was sooooo sick on Halloween. I seriously thought that there was a really good chance I was dying (man, I am super drama). But for the record, Nick admitted to me after I started feeling better that he was pretty freaked out too, so maybe I'm not as drama as I thought.

By the way, we made Halloween cookies and all I have to say is Annie and Brian can't bake and are huge nerds!

Blake's Preschool Party

Blake loves his preschool class and after spending the morning helping with the Halloween Party, I can totally see why! His teacher is so enthusiastic and fun. She had several games set up, the kids decorated their own pumpkins, fished for stickers to decorate their trick or treating sacks, actually went trick or treating, and much much more! I took a picture of Blake writing his name...what a big boy!

Warning: Long Post - SUMMER RECAP

This was a busy summer and because it was so busy I didn't get to post after everything. So, I'm sorry this post is so long, but it had to be done!

Lake Powell
It was a blast! The kids had a great time and it was so sad when it was time to leave. Thanks to Nick's mom and dad for such a fun trip!





















Girl's Camp
I have a new appreciation for all my past camp director's. I never realized how much work goes into planning camp! It took month's of preparation but it was a lot of fun! I had a great time getting to know the girl's and other leader's in a "camp" setting. (It brings out the best in all of us!)



















Spur of the moment swim day!
We took the kids the new Washington City Pool and we had a great time. The kids had fun! (Side note: kind of gross but needs to be said...Brooke got an eye infection from the pool. Needless to say, we haven't been back)












4th of July in Las Vegas!
It was fun to go "home" for the 4th! We stayed at the Orleans and their pool was great. The kids loved it! We spent some time at the arcade at the "Castle" and it was super fun. Nick tried several times to win one of the enormous basketball's for Blake, but it just didn't happen (maybe next time babe!) Overall, we had so much fun!













Blake's Camel Ride!
This was not the only ride he went on. Nope, this was one of THREE! Man, we are suckers! And at $8 a ride...what were we thinking?







Warm & Cozy
I just had to throw these cute pictures of Blake in.






Cute Kids
These are just some pictures I took of the kids one day. Dang, these kids are cute!
