DOUBLE the room!!

Completing our basement has been long awaited. We thought it would be nice to have completed for Christmas (LAST YEAR), but at least it is now finished. There is a large family room/ theater room, bedroom, office, workout room, storage room, playroom, and bathroom. We are excited to have future family parties and holidays here for a change!!!

Breakfast Time

Taylor let me sleep in after a long night of call and this is what I found. Daddy's way of dressing his little girl.

Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo!!

I was asked by a friend to dress as Cinderella for her little girl’s 3rd birthday party. (The real Cinderella had prior obligations so she asked me to fill in). It was a lot of fun and the girl’s were adorable. I have also filled in for Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) for another friend at work. After leaving the house I found myself skipping down a busy street with a basket full of berries while the girls continued to wave goodbye. With no where else to go, I found a large dumpster to hide behind until they returned to the party. A little embarrassing, but definitely worth it.

Play-Time

Raegan, Noelle’s niece came to play for a while after her little sister was born. We enjoyed relaxing in the sun and blowing bubbles. We will definitely miss our warm summer days.

Hardware Ranch

We were able to enjoy one last get-away before the cold weather arrived. We went with the Pikus Family to Hardware Ranch (about 20 miles south of Logan). We rented a trailer and met up with the rest of the gang who also had trailers – Thank goodness. We were able to take the ATV’s out the first day and enjoy the sun. On Sunday, we hung out and had plenty of water games and mud fights. Taylor and the boys even attempted rafting down the river, but were unsuccessful due to the small tube sizes. So Jayden decided to go down a portion by himself, only to find himself stuck in a clump of trees. He wasn’t all that thrilled, but he survived. Then the RAIN came. We all huddled in the trailers and played games. We were able to cook our Dutch-oven dinner in one of the ATV hauling trailers and it turned out amazing. We were a little nervous about getting the trailers up the muddy hill the next morning, but luckily we were all successful and made it home safely.
