Brighton Cabin

Once again, we were able to take a quick trip to the cabin up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Unfortunately for Taylor, he had knee surgery the day we went up. He had his ACL repaired and will be down for a while. He was quite the trooper though and seemed to sleep most of the time. We were able to hike a little and take a drive through guardsman’s pass to Park City. The fall leaves were amazing. The kids were definitely spoiled by their Great Aunt Jan and Grandma Woobie. Thank you for the great trip! It was much needed!

Makeup Woes

So I thought it would be a while before Aysia asked if she could start wearing makeup, but oh no, she decided not to ask and just start without my permission. I was actually quite impressed that she knew the mascara was to be applied within the vicinity of the eye. I can’t wait to see what she plans on trying at age 3!

First Day Of School

I am always quite sad when the first day of school rolls around. I love the lazy summer days that we can fill with our own fun. However, the new schedule and early bed times are always a plus. I always miss the long summer nights when the cold weather begins, but I will always look forward to fall and the changing leaves.

CALIFORNIA 2009

We had the opportunity to take a nice looong trip to California just before school started. We thought it would be a very relaxing trip with very little planned, however that quickly changed. My Mom and Dad, Noelle, Janson and Lacee came along and we even met up with Rob and Gege’s cute family in California for a couple of days. We had a couple of great days at the beach. We roasted Marshmallows over a fire pit, ate lots of great food and enjoyed the body surfing. We were able to visit with my Uncle Mike and Aunt Pat for an afternoon which is always something to look forward to. We hit the shopping district for one day and bought a few school clothes for the boys. What a great place!!! I could spend a whole week there. Then we took a boat ride to Catalina Island where we snorkeled, rode bikes and relaxed on the beach. We decided to try our luck on the PRICE IS RIGHT. Well, as it turns out, I will once again be on National Television due to my famous sister Noelle. Yes, she was called to Contestants row on the very last bidding. Unfortunately, she did not make it up on stage, but had a few great laughs with Drew! I believe the air date is November 16th. We will keep you posted. Then we finally made it to good old DISNEY. What a great place. The boys favorite ride was Buzz Light Year. We also enjoyed the Tower of Terror. Then it was time to pack up and go home – Always disappointing.
