Lego Land with Easton and Demill

We went to Lego Land and the beach with Karl and Roxanne, Easton and Demill. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. We went down to Applevalley for Thanksgiving and spent one day at Lego Land and one day at the beach.

Trick or Treat Grandma!

We dressed the kids up and took them to Grandmas bank to trick or treat.

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun. The kids loved getting dressed up. Everyone said that Isaac looked just like the scarecrow on Wizard of OZ. Jessica didn't want to be anything scary this year, Just a beautiful princes, and Brayden was a pirate again. Mom and dad were borning this year and just dressed up ads them selves. It was alot of fun. I was glad when I dressed them up for the last time. I dressed the kids up 4 times this year because of School, Benson's birthday party and Halloween night. I think the are the cutest, non scary spookables ever!

ANOTHER....day at the Zoo

We always seen to make our way to the Hogle Zoo when the weather starts to cool off in the fall or warm up in the spring. This fall was no exception. We went with all the Atkin cousins for Packers 1 year old birthday.

Jessica's First day of preschool

Jessica loves preschool. She is very neat in everything she does. She loves to write and make sure that all of her work is done just right. It is fun to watch her grow.

The Vest's came to visit in August. We had alot of fun. We went to Temple square, the Grotto and just hung around the house. I was waiting to get the rest of the pictures but I finally decided to update this with what we have. The kids loved visiting with each other and we enjoyed visiting with Heather and Jason. They are now living in New Mexico and just bought their first home, congrats guys, we love you.

Payson's Onion Days

We went to the Onion Days carnival with Uncle Karl and Aunt Roxy and cousins, Demille and Easton.

1st Day of Kidnergarten

This is the first day that Brayden rode the bus to school. I was very nervous for him but he says that it is now one of his favorite things about school. He also loves his new teacher and all of the new friends he is making. Mom is also enjoying the little break that I get each day.

Game Time

It doesn't happen often but all three kids where playing Candy Land together......PEACEFULLY!!

The strain of potty training

We started Potty Training in August and the first week that we started Isaac would fall asleep in his high chair. So I guess it is tiring for more than just myself.

Family Night at the Grotto

This is a very cute hike up Payson Canyon. We went there with my Mom and Dad and Brothers and Sisters and all the cousins. The kids loved crossing back and forth over the stream on logs. They love splashing through the COLD water and the beautiful waterfall at the end. This was some great family fun time.

Brayden's 1st swimming lessons

We were so excited when Brayden picked up so well on swimming. I was worried because he refused to get his face wet at home. When I would wash his hair he would freak out because water would get in his face. But after swimming lessons he can swim across the short end of the pool with his face in the water the whole time. He loves the water!!!

Payson's New POOL

Cooling off at Thanksgiving Point

We spent a very fun day with Aunt Michelle, and cousins, Christian and Sacora at Thanksgiving Point. They have a cute kids garden so that you don't have to drag the kids through the entire 400 acre garden. When you first go in they have a Big Noahs Ark made of stone and water sprays out randomly to form a pond. The kids loved taking off their shoes and splashing in the water. Brayden's favorite part was the giant maze of hedges. They climbed through bear caves and followed animal tracks until mom was finally wiped out.

After the Gardens we went to the dinosaur mesuem. Always a favorit with our kids. They love to dig in the dirt and look for dinosaur's.

slide show news

Just so you all know, I went in and put some older pictures on the slide show so that it shows all the way back to when Brayden was born. I hope that you all enjoy the pictures. We love you all.

Summer Fun

Aubree and Clint collected some duck eggs and hatched them. The ducks follow the kids all over the yard. They love it.
Jessica and her cousin Aubrianne aka Boo Boo, climbing in the next door neighbors, Apple Tree.
Brayden climbs the apple tree when ever he gets the chance but it was the girls first time up so I grabbed the camera.
