FRIGHTMARES @ Lagoon

We had to hit Lagoon a few more times and it is best to go during frightmares, they have some fun shows going on and it is not so hot. I was kind of worried about Bry getting scared, but she didn't and did very good. She did hold onto us tight a few times when the scary people were walking by, but we made sure she knew it was all made up. I thought it was pretty cute we were watching the one show and they were dancing around and she whispered in my ear "Mom, they are not dressed very modestly." I definitely had to agree with her and talked to her a little about dressing modestly, so it was a good learning moment.

F is for Fire Station

I am doing catch up, last month we went to the Riverdale Fire Station and the kids loved it. I had our neighborhood play group tag along this time too. I think they really enjoyed it and they all got some silly bands and a fire hat. We walked over to the park and let them play for a bit after as well and I think they liked that just as well.

BIKES

One of the most favorite things the kids love to do is ride their bikes. They love it and it is a fun thing to do as a family too. Brylee learned to ride without her training wheels back in August, so she is a lot faster now too and tells everyone that she can ride without her training wheels. She had a small bike and her legs would go 100 miles an hour, so Jason found this bigger bike for her at the DI for $10, she was sooo excited for a bigger bike.

Lunch with some Old Friends

You know you have a good friend, if you can pick up where you left off, even if you haven't seen each other in a long time. This is how it was with my friends Melissa and Sarah when we went to lunch a few weeks ago. I missed Sarah's baby shower because it was the same day Tanner got baptized, so we did lunch before the baby would be born and really it was only a few days before it was born since he was born that next week. We ate at Olive Garden and chatted for I think it was almost three hours getting caught up since last time we got together was when Max went on his mission and he is now been home since May. It is so fun to have such great friends!! Until next time, but lets not make it so long next time.

Swimming Lessons

Tanner is in the black swim suit!


Bodie on the end and Brylee in the middle.

We thought October was a slower month and a good time to do swimming lessons for the kids. Tanner is in Level 2 and doing Great!! Brylee is in Preschool A/B class and doing Awesome! They love it, other then Tue/Thurs nights are pretty busy, we eat early, go to swim lessons, come home and get ready for bed!! Bodie and Brylee are in the same class and many of the days Brylee says "do we do swim lessons today," if I say yes, she gets all excited and jumps up and down and says "Yeah!! I get to see Bodie today!!" Then the entire time we are watching Tanner swim she askes like 10 times "when is it my turn, is it my turn yet?"

Conference at Bear Lake

It was another BEAUTIFUL year at Bear Lake during conference weekend this year. It is our last camping trip for the year and my most favorite time to go. The guys go shooting guns and hit golf balls into the lake and then go in the kayaks or snorkling to find them. The kids played football, hide & seek when it gets dark, and Brylee learned to do the kayak all by herself. I love the chilling and eating yummy food. I made carmel corn this year as I had been craving it, so thought it would be a good time to make it so I wouldn't eat it all everyone could help me eat it. Leslie and I took our beads and made a few bracelets until the wind kicked up, so we had to put it away. It was a smaller group this year; Darla & Curt, Leslie and her family, Eric and his family, Chuck, Leda & Tim, and us. We took Dylan with us this year and we all had a great time.
