Cool Uncle Ryan

My brother Ryan did an internship for Maverick during his last semester of college for marketing. He often had to go to events and do promotional stuff. On a couple of occasions, he ended up driving their big monster truck. Before Thanksgiving he brought it home. He was quite the hit with the munchkins in the family. He also got our family free tickets to a Grizzlies game over the holiday weekend.

We had a great time!

Here is Colby sitting with, of course, his favorite aunt "Nike"

The kids had a blast and thought Ryan was a pretty cool uncle.

Magic Moments Preschool Thanksgiving

Love this little turkey! Ayden goes to such a darling school! I love the teacher, and they are always doing such darling things with the kids. Just before Thanksgiving they did a little program for the parents.

Trick or Treat!

Since we don't really have a neighborhood this year, we went Trick-or-Treating with the cousins. Classic Chelsea Ware forgot shoes for Colby so we tried to put Zack's shoes on him and he got a little ride on a bike. The shoes didn't last long, but since it was fabulous weather-he survived! And because of the bike, Kipp and I survived!

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!
