The Big Day!

Berkley and Britton won a contest to meet Mitchell Musso ( from Hanna Montana ). They were so excited to actually meet a star from a show they watch often. On the way to the meet and greet, Berkley said to me " Mom... is it normal for my heart to be beating in my throat" It was a fun day, even for me!

Carving pumpkins and Halloween

This year it was so fun to carve pumkins with the family. The kids had such a great time.

I love to do pumkins... especially when we can carve outside.

Berk was so into carving and pulling out the insides... that's my girl.

Jeff and Britton getting ready to carve.... Britton wouldn't touch the insides... so jeff had to do it.

Justin digging in!

here is Berk....again!

Gabe was so funny with the pumkins....i love his little face in this picture.

It was fun for the kids to have both grandmas' here to carve pumkins

Grandma hard at work.

The brothers hard at work....It should come as no surprise....justin's pumpkin was the best.

The kids painted mini pumkins while the adults did the carving.

The finished pumkins.

This is Berkley's transformation from a sweet little girl to a wicked witch!

My friend Angie passed on the witch costume to Berkley and did her amazing make up....the fake nose and chin were the best.

Turning green!

What happened to my beautiful girl?

It was fun to have grandma Larsen here for halloween.

Grandma Molly was an ugly witch too!

Fun to have the cousins together for trick or treating! It was a warm night so it made it much so fun!

Better Late Than Never!

Ok! I am not so good at blogging! Here is a look at what we have been up too. This is a journey backwards.... starting with the first weeks of Oct. ending with the first weeks of Aug.

We took the kids to Las Vegas over a long weekend in Oct. It was really fun! The kids thought the hotels were really cool. Of all the weekends to go, this wekkend was FREEZING! It was in the high 50's and our Arizona blood just couldn't take it!

Having lunch at the Harley Davidson cafe. The kids loved all the motorcycles.

This was everybody's favorite. The water show at the Belagio is always great to see.

It looks like we are just posing for these pictures, but we are really just trying to stay warm as we wait for the pirate show to start. ( which they cancelled due to the wind!)

We went to the aquarium at the Mandalay Bay and it was really cool. We stayed at the circus circus and after walking through mandalay bay, I didn't want to leave.

Berkley touching a sting ray.

Berk and Britton playing in the game room at circus circus. We spent a lot of time here....and a lot of money!

Berkley went on a field trip to Chase Field and they gave everyone tickets to the Diamondbacks game that night. This was their first professional baseball game and they were so excited! All Berkley's classmates were sitting in the same section ( the nose bleed section) which made it really fun for everyone ,because we all knew each other.

Our camping trip with Justin and Amber.... the kids had so much

The next generation of Utah fans!

The kids had so much fun getting dirty.... Berkley was covered from head to toe!

SUCH A CLEAN GIRL!
