Wicked Halloween!

This year for Halloween Makenna gave out all of our assignments and we dressed up as characters from Wicked/The Wizard of Oz. She was Glinda, Kason was a flying monkey, Brynn was Dorthy, I was the mean witch (Elphaba) and Weston was the Scarecrow (Fiyero). But Weston wouldn't dress up so oh well. And Kason didn't like his wings. But it was to all dress up together. We had a very busy day that started with Makenna's parade at the school, then lunch with Shellie, running past my moms work and Weston's work. Then we headed to Main Street to do the trick or treating there. Finally when Weston got home for work we went all around the neighborhood then we stopped by his parents and my parents houses. It was really a busy day but fun. Here are some pics.

And his wings that didn't stay on except for the picture!

All of us minus my boyfriend Fiyero!  Maybe next year I'll get him to dress up!

Decorating Pumpkins

In the past we have always carved pumpkins but with the kids so little its just Weston and I doing all the hard work while they watch so this year I thought I would let them paint their pumpkins.  That way they got to have all the fun and I got to watch!  And I think they did have fun.  Here are some pictures of their cute pumpkins!

Cute family night activity!

The fun part was when we got out the finger paint!

 

Makenna made cute polka dots on her pumpkin and yes she is painting with her "birdie" finger! ha, ha

 

Such adorable pumpkins!

Park City

Last month my dad had his 60th birthday so to celebrate my mom rented a house up in Park City for all of us to stay in. It was lots of fun with good food, shopping, the Alpine Slide, golfing and conference. Here were a couple picks of us on the Alpine Slide. It was so much fun and the kids loved it! Makenna just kept saying she wanted to go again. I'm glad they had so much fun.

Happy Birthday to my dad and thanks to my mom for the fun weekend!

Mascot Bowl

Makenna loves Cosmo so I wanted to take the kids to see the Mascot Bowl that went on at the High School last month.  And I am sure glad we did!  The kids had so much fun and it was all they could talk about for the next week!  They loved watching Cosmo and the Jazz Bear and the cheerleaders.  They didn't watch much of the football game but it sure was a fun night for everybody.  It was a little chilly but I'm so glad we went this year.  Now the kids can't wait to go again next year!

Fall Cabin Trip

So the last week of September we went up to the Peel family cabin for the weekend.  This was Brynn's first time so that was fun and the leaves were amazing!  We also saw lots of animals so that was fun for the kids.  And of course we came home and got sick the next week.  Lots of fun!  Any ways here are some pics of everyone having fun!

Thanksgiving Point Gardens

Last week we went to the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point when Weston got home from work.  The kids had lots of fun exploring the children's gardens and rolling down the big hill by the big waterfall.  I enjoyed a night out with Weston.  Here's some pics!

Playing in the water!

Poor little girl!  Does she ever get out of that stroller?

Decorating the Christmas Tree

I love bringing out all my Christmas decorations.  It's probably the only holiday that I really decorate the house for.  I just love putting everything up and the kids this year had a lot of fun helping.  Makenna was so helpful with everything and Kason was old enough to help decorate the tree this year.  They both had so much fun.  I actually just sat down on the couch and watched them decorate the tree once Weston got it up.  It was such a nice night.  And of course it wouldn't be a blog post with out pictures, so here they are!

Kangaroo Zoo

Since it was a long weekend we wanted to try and fit some fun family time in while we had Weston at home.  So we took the kids to Kangaroo Zoo.  Makenna loved it the second she got there and was off and running.  Kason took a minute to warm up but as soon as he did he was all over the place.  He would slide down the slides on his tummy or upside down and he even was trying to do somersaults like Makenna.  He just copied everything she did.  They were so cute and had so much fun.  I'm glad we took them and let them get out all their crazy energy!
