Birthday Dinner

After we got back from St George we had my brothers birthday dinner since he was in town. We had dinner at my moms and Kennady somehow got Chelseys heels on and was just walking around in them thinking she was pretty cute! She is all girl! Boston was into the balls he was playing with, he is all boy!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we always go to St George with Ty's family. His moms family lives in California, and his grandparents and Ty's parents both have a house down there across the street from each other so everyone meets for Thanksgiving! We have been going since we got married, I think this was our 4th year going. It is always really fun. Dinner is always good and we love the food, thanks Grandma! Ty's grandpa has a karaoke machine, and this was a really fun thing this year. Ty and Parker loved it a little too much, look out American Idol! But we all sang and had a good time. Cheryl paid for her and her daughter in laws to all get facials at a salon down there, it was amazing! Thanks Cheryl! Also On friday we went early out to Roberts to get some cricket stuff for Cheryl and Grandma, it was really fun. On friday the boys go golfing, and the girls go to a place called Brushfire where you paint pottery. It is so much fun I look forward to it every year. This year I made a cereal bowl for Ty. I will post a picture when we get it. Here are some pics of the weekend!

Basketball Season

Basketball is now in full swing and we have played 4 games already ah. For those of you that don't know I coach the Bingham girls sophomore basketball team. It is so fun, but so busy 6 days a week! Jenny Wright (Clough) is coaching with me and she is so fun and good, I am glad to have her. But before tryouts Ty and I wanted to do something fun together before the craziest next four months came. So we decided to go on a hike. We knew there would be snow, but we didn't dress very well for it. We wore tennis shoes and not even very warm pants. So we did some research and went on this hike up the canyon and it was supposed to take us to a lake that was only 2 1/2 miles long. So we started at about 2 in the afternoon thinking this would not take us very long. So we got hiking and took a few pictures, and after about an hour and a half we kept thinking gee where is this lake! We kept thinking it was just around the next corner! And we were getting so tired, we felt so old and out of shape. But it was pretty steep and in snow (that is our excuse!)We finally ran into some hikers coming down and we asked how far away we were, little did we know we went on the wrong hike! And the lake on this trail was like another 5 miles up! We didn't bring a flashlight so we would have never made it! So we just decided to sit and eat our lunch in this meadow and went back. So not a very successful hike, but it was still fun to hang out together and just have fun!

The trail (that was all uphill and snowy)

Ty holding the backpack and my coat! What a good husband

"Where is the lake?"

This was the lake! I am just really far away zoomed in so the lake looks small! haha

Kennady's first attempt with a spoon

I finally tried to give Kennady a chance to eat with a spoon by herself. She did pretty good for the first few minutes, but then it just got worse and got all over! She was having such a good time! She is much better now, and sometimes she just gives up and uses her hands instead of a spoon.

Low family pictures

Finally I am going to post again, I promise I will be better at this, but here is Ty's family pictures that we took a while ago, but here they are! We also took some Christmas pictures, so I need all your addresses if you want a card! So leave a comment with your address! Thanks!

Halloween

Yeah Halloween is over! It is such a crazy holiday, and it is not my favorite one. But the Monday before we went and picked out a pumpkin to carve with Kennady and she just wanted to pick them up the whole time! It was funny. And we never carved them, Ty was a party pooper and we never carved it, so it is just sitting on our front porch all sad! But we went to Keith and Cheryl's Halloween ward party with Skyler and Ellyit. It was so much fun. We got to have dinner and the girls had fun playing all the games. Then on Halloween we went trick or treating at Andreas work where Kennady got a lot of candy! And that night we went to Keith and Cheryls to see them before they went to a movie. Than we went to my parents with my sister and her cute little boy Boston who was a sailor he looked so cute, I will have to get pictures from my Dad I forgot my camera. But overall it was fun. We also on Saturday had a fun birthday party for my dad, my brother Chad was here from Idaho so it was fun to see his cute little family! Than on Sunday we did a family home evening dinner at my house with my family. It was really fun to eat, and than to have a spiritual lesson together. As part of our lesson we talked about President Monsons talk in general conference about Joy in the Journey, and he told a story about a prisoner of war and he got to write home to his family in only 25 words. So we decided that all of us would think of what we would say to our family in 25 words. I think everyone should do this, it was fun and a good experience for all of us to do. Overall it was a fun weekend.

Kennady trying to pick up every pumpkin! Who wants to buy Kennady for $5!! she is so cute

Kennady had a cookie, and once she got that she wanted to do nothing else!

All 3 girls had wings, kind of funny.

So Lindsay and Michelle decided to come down to Utah County to come see my house, and to see Brooke's house and so we could all talk more with Michelle's fiance Brad! Heidi my sister in law came with us too, it was so fun. They came to my house first, than we went to Brooke's, her house is so so cute, she has done such a good job decorating, it looks like a model home! We went and ate at the Brick Oven of course our typical place to go eat. Lindsay had quite a night, she forgot some formula for Reagan so she had to run to the grocery store while we were at the restaurant. Than Reagan spit up all over me, and she was just so stressed out, it was so funny! But we had fun talking to cute Brad and hearing about him and Michelle and hearing about their wedding! Thanks girls for coming down, I had so much fun! Than that Saturday we did a girls lunch at Chili's in Salt Lake with Ang, Lindy, Lindsay, Jodie and me. It was really fun too, we had no kids so that made it less stressful! Sorry no pics of that though, weird we always take pictures, but for some reason we didn't! I am so lucky to have such good friends, I know I am not perfect, but thanks guys for being so patient and nice to me! I love you guys, I don't know what I would do without you!

Conference weekend

My brother and his cute family came over conference weekend to stay with us, we had so much fun. My sister Christi on Friday night went to Homecoming, and she looked so pretty! Than on Saturday during the Priesthood session we just hung out all girls and my mom gave Kennady a ring pop and she got it all over! Than we just let her run around with her shirt off, and Andalynn wanted to get in on all the fun too, so she took hers off, and her and Kennady kept sweeping and playing around it was so cute and so funny! I hope this isn't weird, but I think the pictures are so cute! We had a lot of fun listening to conference and thought this was such a good conference and I love being uplifted as we listened to conference.

Check out cute Andalynns plumber crack!

Kennady kept putting on Ty's cowboy boots, and trying to walk it was so funny, she could not do it! And she loves carrying around purses, so I let her have one of my old ones from High school and she carries it everywhere with her with her fake phone and a ball in it, she is all girl!

So yesterday I had to wake Kennady up early to go to Ty's great grandmas house to help with her estate sale, and this is how I found her sleeping so funny! Her hair is the best in the morning, she has the best bed head!

Wow so I have been majorly slacking on this lately! I got on here and everyone has these really cute Halloween backgrounds, sorry mine is the same and now Halloween is almost over so I won't change mine until it gets closer to Christmas! Well we have been crazy busy these past few weeks. Ty has been so busy with school, he has been having his midterms and he is studying all the time, he is gone so much me and Kennady miss him! But we are proud of him and all that he is doing to help us out in our lives! Since the last time I got on I had a birthday! I am now officially 25! My birthday was actually really stressful and not very much fun. A lot of things happened that day with work, friends and stuff. But it ended up really good. My cute sisters took me to dinner that night at my new favorite restaurant Simply Thai (Michelle's moms restaurant) cause Ty had school till late and my parents were out of town. We had a lot of fun at dinner, thanks guys! Than when I got back from South Jordan I came home to a lot of candles, rose peddles, and Ty waiting to take Kennady and he had a bubble bath going for me with candles, music so I could relax. He took Kennady and put her to bed so I could relax. Than he had a Moulton from Chilis, you know that chocolate cake thing that is to die for, for us to eat together! Than he gave me some "fake" diamond earrings that I have been wanting, and he wrote me the sweetest, cutest letter. We than watched a movie and he gave me a massage! It ended up being one of the funnest birthdays ever! It was so thoughtful and he put a lot of time and thought into it! I love Ty so much and appreciate all he does for me and for Kennady, he is the best husband and dad me or Kennady could have asked for! Here are some cute pictures of my birthday, enjoy!

My cute earings and letter!
