It's What Fun Is...

Saturday afternoon we went to Lagoon. We arrived and boy was it packed. I could not believe it. I thought Frightmares was suppose to be less crowded. It was a nice day so that is probably why it was busy. Kev, Andy, and Liz took Cole on the Tidal Wave first. He was a little afraid but he liked it. Than we took him to all the kid rides. You could not wipe the smile off his face. He just loved it.

Dailey was great too. She hung out in the stroller and when she had enough of that we would hold her. Kev and I really only rode one big ride ourselves the rest of the time was watching and riding with Cole. But that was the fun to see him ride all the rides and just love it.

Amber and Maddie came too! Cole and Madison had a great time. There was a couple of rides where they had a "little moment" where they were fighting over who controlled the ride. But all in all they did great.

I seem to get pretty uptight in crowded places when Cole is on the loose! Something I need to work on, I guess. But it was a fun day!

The Pumpkin Patch

Monday night we went to the Pumpkin Patch. We got there about 7 which they close at dusk. (Sorry Creig and Mind) Who knew. So we had to make our selection pretty quick. We did pack a flashlight to help us pick just the right ones. Well let's be honest Cole just wanted to ride in the wheelbarrow and run around. He really did not care which pumpkin he got.

We were checking out and weighing our pumpkins having a good time, but boy were those workers in a rush to get us gone or maybe they were just being helpful? The worker girl was at our car trying to throw the pumpkins in the back when we let her know we have to put our stroller in first. Than she grabbed the wheel barrow to take it back, Oh wait still a pumpkin inside.

Than she says "I'm not trying to rush you"

I say "oh your not" sarcastically.

Ok so why am I not very understanding? The poor pumpkin patch worker girl just wanted to get home. Sorry Pumpkin Patch Girl and Sorry Kev for not being nicer. (He's always nice)

Great Anniversary and Conference Weekend!

We Celebrated 7 Great years!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

We dropped Cole off at my Mom's house in the early afternoon. Than Dailey, Kevin and I headed down to provo to have an early dinner and go to the BYU game.

We ate at the Brick Oven and also had a chance to walk around the BYU Bookstore.

I love night games but boy was I tired on our drive home.

After Saturday Session of Conference, Kevin went with his Dad and Brother and Brother in laws to dinner and than to Priesthood. While the kids and I joined the rest of the Girls for some fun at my parents house. Usually we do a craft while the kids play. This time we all made FHE packets one for each family. It was great. The boys got home and we did the recap of Priesthood Session and made our Candy Carmel Apples. Yum.

Coleman and his cousin Maddie playing Conference Bingo.

We had Conference on the entire time but I will have to say I will need to go back and listen since I am pretty sure I missed half of the talks!

I am really not sure why it is underlining everything.

Silly Computer or Silly Me!

B-Y-U Cougars!! Roarrrrr

Last Saturday Coleman and I went to the BYU game. We drove down with my dad, mom, and Brian. As we walked into the stadium Cole started yelling "Go BYU!" over and over again. It was so funny and I liked seeing him excited about the game. We were there plenty early so we walked around for awhile and ran into the bin of footballs for sale. Of course we had to buy one and Cole wanted the football with a cougar on it. Then we headed for our seats.

Once we got to our seats I thought the cheering for BYU would continue but shortly after the game started and BYU scored, Cole asked, "Is it over?" I had to explain that it had just gotten started. Then he said, "I want a drink, please." So we headed out and got some rootbeer and got back to our seats. He did awesome for most of the first half but began getting restless. He wanted to go out. I held him off as long as I could but when he said, "I need to go poopy, Dad." we had to head down. Since the first half was almost over, we hit the restroom and then went outside the stadium to play on the grass.

Cole's favorite thing to do on the grass right now is to play football, except Cole calls it "tackle." So we are outside on the grass and we play a great game of "tackle." It was so much fun and he used a lot of energy running around. When I heard the game was starting back up we headed back in and enjoyed the second half with Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Brian. The games can get so long for kids but Cole was awesome and so much fun.

We also ran into Uncle Creig, Aunt Mindy, Jake, Natalie, and Hannah before and after the game. Then we ran into Uncle Ben, Aunt Rachel, Tyler, Ryan, Morgan, and Abby at halftime. Cole loves all of his cousins so it was fun to run into them at the game.

So, it was a great day at Lavell Edwards Stadium. Great weather, the Cougs won, Cole was so much fun, and we were with family. The only thing that would have made it more fun was if Mom and Dailey could have been there too!

Go Cougars! Roarrrrr!

Fall Leaves, Tinfoil Dinners, and Starbursts!

Last night we went up Millcreek Canyon to look at the changing leaves and to have good old tinfoil dinners over a camp fire. The canyon was so pretty all the leaves were just starting to change color. I saw many places to take great photos of changing leaves, but our picnic area was not one of them. So I hiked up a little to take a few photos. Oh I so badly want to be able to take awesome photos. But I will have to wait until one day, I enroll in some classes.

Cole loves the outdoors! He also loves fire. We were getting the wood on the fire and Kevin looks over and Cole had the matches and had lit a match before we even knew it. Aaah. It's a boy thing right? He enjoyed throwing wood chips into the fire and being right by Dad helping him.

Love being married to such a handsome boyscout! He cooked our tinfoil dinners perfect. I never liked roasted marshmallows. Probably because I burn them (I missed the patience line in heaven, not Kevin though) he makes a golden brown marshmallow. Crunchy on the outside and smooth and gooey on the inside. We also roasted starburst candies. The fire doesn't just melt them but makes them also gooey and crunchy. Hard to explain, I guess you'll have to try for yourself. Last thing we roasted dough for breadsticks. I got the recipe off a website that called it Bannock. Which just tasted like biscuits to me. It was okay, would have been better with some butter of course!

2-3 C Flour

1-2 T Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

2-3 T Oil or butter

2/3 C Warm Water

We had such a good time up the canyon just with our little family. I love family outings! I am so blessed to have such a great family and to be able to go and enjoy the wonderful things all around us.

Cole took this picture of us. Wow he is even a better photographer than I am. He does have some mad skills though.

Great Day Continued...Doctor's Appt, Target, Dunford Bakery!

We went from the doctor's office to the bread store. Dunford sells a loaf of bread on Monday's for only 99 cents. It is good bread too. Since you can't go to Dunford without smelling the delicious doughnuts we had to pick a couple of those up too. Yum. Yum.

Today we had Dailey's two month visit. Wow it has gone by so fast. Even though she is still my little newborn she is not the little newborn. Somehow that stage goes so quick too quick.

We went to the doctor visit where she had shots. Since Kevin was not there to hold her in front of their fun walls I had to sit her down. Okay who does this. Look at her head. Seriously.

Poor baby girl. She got four shots. She only cried for a second though.

What a Great Day....

I woke up yesterday morning and felt that fall had officially hit! My toes were cold walking around the hardwood floors. I made a mental note that I was in need of some good slippers. My favorite slippers had seen their day and I had to throw them away. I went out to do a little shoe shopping for Cole and where did we go? Good old Target! I forget how much I like Target.

I love the dollar bins they have at the front of the store. Dangerous but fun. I found Sunday shoes for Cole and socks and a fall outfit for Dailey. A few other things I could not pass up too.

But my favorite purchase was these babies. Oh I have seen my cute little sis, who had these also but I did not know how dang comfortable these were. I absolutely love them.

They are so warm, and are now my favorite little purchase I made at Target.
