Fall Break 2011

The boys loved playing in the dirt. They had a hill that they would drive their trucks on. Jared likes to look for paint ball balls with my dad. They like to see who can find the most.
Jared and Conner love riding the Rhino. I do too!!! We all went on a long ride looking at old mines.

These are the dust prints of Conner running into Cory's truck.
We really can't wait for next year camping season. Conner won't be running off as much. While we were at Cherry Creek some people came into our camp saying that there was a lost boy. So we all got on the four wheeler to search. We drove into the camp next to us and we were told the boy was found safe. That is the scariest thing to happen to parents.

Jared, my dad, Conner and I all went on a ride. I was riding my four wheeler and my dad was riding his. Jared was riding his bike. We ended up going on a trail that was too hard for Jared. He crashed pretty good but hopped back on. I was following him almost in tears. I could hear Jared crying so I told him to get off his bike. We ended up putting it on my dad's four wheeler. Jared was so brave to keep riding after he crashed. He rode it again when we got back onto the main road.

Cory and Sarah came up Friday night. They went on a ride and ate dinner with us. They stayed long enough to sit around the fire.

Cory came back up Saturday. They all went on some rides. I ended up going home with him. I stayed at my parents with Conner. Natalie and Kyle came up with their two boys around my boys ages after I left. I felt bad for leaving. I love camping but I also would like to have time at my house over breaks from school. I don't get much done when we go camping the whole break.

Pumpkin Patch

Conner has never been to a pumpkin patch he really liked it.

Jared was searching for the perfect pumpkin for him and Conner. He is such a great big brother because he wouldn't forget Conner.

Conner really didn't care for the corn again.

They had a hay tower the boys liked to climb. Of course I was nerve they would fall the whole time. I made either Aubree or me hold Conner's hand the whole time.

This is the hay maze. Aubree had me watch Jay, Jared and Conner. I was running after Conner while trying to watch Jared and Jay. It was really over whelming to have all three of them in the maze. The boys had fun with Jay.

Grandmothers Funeral

This is us being nerds!!!

We tried to go to a museum but it was close. They also wanted 20 bucks to get in which wasn't worth it.
It was fun to have all us kids together. Even if we did miss our own kids. Justin and Amber did webcam on their phones so Justin could see Brylee. I talked to my boys everyday. Trevor called his kids too.
We told the waiter that it was Charlie's birthday so they brought him a dessert and they ended up throwing it in his face!!!



We stayed the first night in Charlotte while we were checking into the hotel this race drivers driver parked his truck in the hotel parking lot.

My dad, Aubree, Justin and I flew out together to North Carolina to attend my Grandmothers funeral. On our flight out Aubree and I had the isle but we were nice enough to let my dad and Justin sit in them. The people I sat by were all that friendly they didn't want to talk to me. Which is fine but it was boring flight.

When we finished checking into the hotel we found a BBQ restaurant, it was the best restaurant ever. I ended up buying some of the BBQ sauce to bring home for Bryce.

After spending the night we drove to the next hotel where we were meeting everyone. It was a good thing Justin had his phone because we would have been lost without it. Once we checked in to the new hotel we all took a nap. We had to stay in the same room because two of our rooms weren't done. While my dad was sleeping he kept chewing Justin out in his sleep.

We went to the viewing which was very nice. Not many people showed up. The funeral was small with only our family. Trevor did was great job talking about Grandmother. Charlie talked about the plan of salvation. He did a great job too. My dad and Hannah played the guitar while my dad sang. They sounded wonderful.

After the funeral we all went to lunch then people went their separate ways. We ended up staying one more night. We went around town looking at all the sights.

Armstrong Mansion

For our 10 year anniversary we went to Armstrong Mansion in SLC. I really wanted to go on a cruise but since we are going to try to sell our house in February we decided not to go.

Cathy watched the boys, they were so excited to spend the night. While checking in the lady asked who booked the room I said I did but Bryce called and added a surprise to the room. So the lady ruined the surprise. While we were watching tv deciding where to eat my brother called me. He informed me that my Grandmother had passed away. He didn't know we were at a bed & breakfast. I hung up with him to call my mom. She said she wasn't going to tell me until after our anniversary.

We ended up going to a Mexican place in a bad part of town. It was great food. Very spicy. While we were driving around the people at the bed and breakfast put roses all around the room with chocolates and apple cider.

The breakfast was good but wasn't as good as the one in Manti. After breakfast we went home to get the kids. We missed them!!!

Boys playing in a box

Jared loves playing in boxes. He closes the top of the box and then jumps out to scare me. Conner taught Jared was very funny. Conner tries to be like Jared.

Hee Haw's

Jared is kind of scared to pet the animals!!!

It was nice of Aubree to go with my parents. My boys love playing with her.

Jared!!

Conner!!

Conner hated playing in the corn.

Jared loved playing in the corn. He wanted to stay in there forever.

This was Conner's first time riding a horse.

Jared has never wanted to ride a horse before. He did really good. I was sad that I missed him ride it.

I love his face. It looks like he is scared. He said he had a lot of fun.

My parents and Aubree took the boys to Hee Haws. We were suppose to go another day but it didn't happen. Bryce and I didn't go because we had someone price out our house to sale. We are waiting to put it up til February. The boys had so much fun. Jared is still talking about it.
