Ayden's Preshool Halloween Party

Ayden had a little Halloween Party at his Magic Moments Preschool. The kids had a great time! I really love Ayden's teacher. She is darling with the kids and I really admire her after helping out at the party! It isn't easy keeping all of these cute monkeys focused and entertained!

St. George

Kipp's buddies wanted to take a golfing trip to St. George and they decided to make it a family affair. We had a great time with our friends the Campbell's while we were there. Amanda and I took the kids swimming, to a bounce house place and to the splash park while the boys got some good golfing in. Our boys love their girls and they get along great! Here are some pictures of the splash park just by the Tabernacle in St. George. It was so fun for the kids.

Ayden, Gracie and Olivia Colby was being a little grouchy at this time, and didn't really want his picture taken. I kind of love this picture! I seriously think this is a great idea for a splash park-no spraying water. Just running water so the kids can decide just how wet they want to get. Brilliant.My cute little Ayden man I had to include this picture of Olivia. What a little poser! She is seriously the sweetest thing-I would love to have a little girl just like her!Nice and cozy after swimming, Colby is finally ready to smile for the cameraA quick ride on the carousel in the parkLove these boys in their cute little hats!

Frightmares

I didn't catch very many pictures of our trip to Lagoon with the family this year, but these ones crack me up! Colby was so sad when Kipp took Ayden on a ride without him, but he technically wasn't tall enough, so we didn't try to take him on it. After he got so upset, we decided to go again and see if they would let Colbs on. Low and behold-they didn't check his height. He was thrilled, but I was a little nervous that he was going to freak out when the ride started. But he was a champ and loved it! Held his arms in the air and everything!

Colby is 2!

This handsome little man turned 2! We have loved having this guy in our family! He is full of energy and his favorite past time right now would have to be wrestling with his brother. He is tough as nails (sometimes a little too tough)! He is going through a phase right now where every word he says ends in the sound "O". My favorite is how he says pumpkins-punkinos. Love him!Opening presents on the morning of the big day!We had family over for pizza and cake and ice cream. I had to wake Colby up from his nap for his little party. He was a little grumpy to start off... ...but deciced to cheer up!Some of the treats

Cornbelly's

We had such a great time at Cornbelly's last year, so when we had an opportunity to get season passes at a great price this year, we couldn't pass it up! They have so many fun things for these little munchkins to do! We did several little dates there with some fun friends!

Ayden, Isaac, Cael, Colby, and EthanOne of the favorites is the piles of hay with slides coming off of it. The boys love it! Okay-and so does mom!How I love these two! They are either the best of buds or worst enemies!His one true love-Cotton Candy. It is amazing how fast he can devour the stuff!The corn pit is always a favorite!
