Pumkin painting, cookie decorating and paper pumking painting.

So, for Halloween I wanted the kids to have a lot of fun. So,, We made sugar cookies and decorated them. The had a blast!


Then, the next day we decided to paint pumkins. also, a lot of fun

Then, we decided to paint pumpkins that Grandma and Grandpa S got for them. The kids had so SO much fun with this. They just couldn't believe that I was letting them use paint.




First weekend in October.. VACATION

So, the first weekend in October Todd and I planned to go to Lake Havasupai with our awesome neighbors-Tom, Brea, Brent and Tessa... however, we couldn't make it because Todd had an interview with some Japanese Engineers for an internship for Summer 2011 in Japan. Well, we think it would be way cool to go, so we stayed for the interview.... we will fine out if we go at the end of Novemeber. Anyway, so instead of going to lake havasupai we decided to go on a short weekend adventure to Moab. Todd's parents were so awesome and came all the way down to Salt Lake to watch the kids. So, it was just Todd and I . We took our bikes and went mountain biking and had a blast! We camped.,This is us going on the trails. It was so funny because everyone there was serious mountain bikers with all the expensive gear. ... well, I was on a cruser bike with a baby seat on the back. People would pass me and look at me funny. Two guys stopped and said.... gosh I thought we were like really tough and cool because we were riding this trail but then we saw you with your baby seat and your picnic in your seat we didn't feel so cool anymore.... I thought it was hilarious.

This is TOdd going around the loop. He is such a bad A.. . thats why I married him.

Todd going up the hill... I guess you could have figured that out on your own but... anyway once again TOdd is a bad A.


This is where we camped. It is called Castleton Tower. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect!!

Thanks again Craig and Carla for babysitting so we could go.. we love ya.

We went Swimming! It was fun!

So Ryker found this pedestool that he loved to dance on. He would get on it and dance like he was the stuff. What was funny about it was that in front of him were a bunch of girls laying on the lawn chairs.. The girls asked me where he learned to dance.. .. it was so cute.
So Sadie and Dad thought that it was a cool idea so they danced too.. nice moves huh


This is Todd going off the high dive. That thing was freaking scary, I wouldn't go off the top one, usually I do, but this one was way too high.. good job Todd.



One word for this picture.............................. ENEMA hahahaha


We had an awesome time, can't wait to do it again.

Our first family on our own no mom and dad camping experience! July30-31 with neighbors!

We had our very first camping trip as a family on our own! It was so SO fun! We went with our awesome neighbors-Tom and Brea, Brent and Tessa. We went to Millhollow Lake. It was beautiful! It had some amazing views and some awesome fishing.

When we first got there, the moment we pulled up to the spot it started pouring rain like hard core! There was some serious lightning and thunder! Scary! So for the first hour and a half we set in the car! It was awesome! Here is a picture of us in the car with the rain.



After the rain... the girls played with Brent and Tessa's golf ball throwy game while the boys worked on drying the firewood! ha ha girls have all the fun!

Here is a picture of the valley we stayed in. It was beautiful! There were tons of sheep at the base of the canyon. It was fun to listen to them.







Here is a picture of all the clan who went camping. You can't see it but Tessa had a sweet Las Vegas shirt on. I asked her where she got it from . :) We had some very fun conversations around the campfire. If you want to know what we talked about... just ask Tom and Brea..;)

Sadie loved to eat the dirt. Everytime I turned around, she was eating dirt and I had to get her out of it!
So Tom and Brea was so awesome they let us use there fishing poles and they taught Ryker how to fish. We had such an awesome time and.... Ryker caught his very first fish!!!



This is a picture of Brea and Ryker catching his first fish!! It was so exciting and fun to watch. It was hilarious though because Ryker was SO scared of the fish. If you look at this pictures, his face tells it all...
Ryker didn't want to get close to it at all. But Sadie on the other hand ran right up to the fish and started pushing it and swinging it back and forth. She was not scared at all. She petted it and had a blast. Ryker never touched it though.
This is Ryker's fish. It was a pretty good size Rainbow trout. Thanks Brea for helping him catch the fish! It was so funny because Ryker thought we were going to take it home as a pet but when Todd started cooking it up he started to get really sad .

Aunt Heidi came to visit! July 25-30th

Aunt Heidi came to visit us! It was so much fun to have her stay. We have missed her since she has been in Kentucky. She helped babysit my kids and she cooked some amazing meals! We took her too temple square and had fun looking at the beautiful flowers. Aunt Heidi is awesome we had a blast, we love you Aunt Heidi! Can't wait till next time!


Here is pretty Sadie lady having a fun time . She just wanted to swim so bad in the reflecting pond, but we wouldn't let her.



Aunt Heidi with Ryker and Sadie having fun. The kids loved the fountains! i couldn't keep them out of them!

Double Reunion again... Harris Reunion July 24-25 and Sherman Family Reunion July 25-26

So this weekend we had a double reunion again! The Sherman and Harris reunion! It was a blast!.This is all the grandkids. They all decided they wanted to swim so they all stripped down to their undies and hopped in! It was hilarious and fun to watch.



This is the two beautiful girlies cousin Lauren and Sadie. They were born the exact same day. CRAZY

Thanks to Aunt Tassie all the grankids got to ride on the 4wheeler... at once! They had a blast!


Everyone watched our kids so that we could go jump in the freezing cold Teton river. As you can see none of us were really swimming in it. It took us a while to get used to the cold or should I say it took us a while until we were numb until we could enjoy it! Cullin Tracy Todd and I, Ariel and Zac came with us. We had tons of fun body floating and floating on our half filled tubes that had holes in them! Everyone was jealous of my pink fish toddler tube.
All of the boys stripped down into their undies and decided they were going to jump on the tramp it was cute. It seems like everytime we go to Grandma and Grampa Shermans my kids always strip down to their undies and have a party. haha lol
