Pumpkin Failure

Trav carves pumpkins with the kids every year and they usually turn out super cute- this year we invited my niece and nephew to join us. Allias and Gavin decided to make a Miami Heat pumpkin and the girls were going to do a haunted house on one and a ghost on the other. Needless to say things didn't quite go as planned- all of the carving tools broke and everyone gave up except for Allias who tried to do his with a regular knife. He was just about finished when the whole thing collapsed. He said "wow it is just like Miami in the playoffs- it took so much time and hard work and  looked so great right up to the last minute and then it just fell apart"
All three half finished pumpkins are sitting on my counter- I wonder if Trav will buy another carving kit and finish them! I am just thankful that he likes to do this kind of stuff and I can just sit behind the camera and watch!







Kay wasn't sure she wanted to touch the "guts" this year

A Young Woman Now!

Kailyn turned 12 last month!!!!!!! Trav told her she can date when these candles are turned around the other direction. We had family over for a big birthday brunch since Gav and Jen both have September birthdays as well. Super fun and we got super full!!!!! With Stake Conference, General Conference and a small Sunday emergency Kay didn't get to go to Young Woman's until last Sunday- she is thrilled to be out of Primary and part of a Beehive class with 23 girls! I took her to the doctor last week and she is 5 foot 5 and a half which is above the 95 percentile for her age. Another inch and she will be as tall as me!!! She is still the sweetest girl on the planet and I love love hanging out with her. She is getting straight As in all of her classes both at home and at HomeLink and working harder then I have ever seen her work. She is running and playing her guitar and playing volleyball and seems to be enjoying every minute of it. We are so happy to have this baby girl in my life!

Last Hurrah

No trip to Washington is complete without a trip to Teriyaki Madness. Just typing the name makes me crave it. I am pretty sure I am going to have to go there tomorrow for lunch. We met at Jen's pasture and rode the horses for a bit and then took our lunch to the park and wandered around. I didn't bring my camera so I stole these pictures from Brittney!







Kailyn, Tyler and Brittney all took turns riding but Britt didn't post any pictures I could steal!

there was a giant man eating pig in this trailer- pretty sure it almost ate Lil's arm!



LOVE!

Sweetest boy ever!


This is what happens when you try and get a picture of my kids together

or this
Eventually if you are lucky you will get this!
and this!

wow can you say bad hair day? and I am not talking about Camerons



Everybody was pretty pooped on the ride home!
 It was so much fun having Brittney (and Brad) here- I am just sad it had to end. Maybe someday we will live in the same town!
