Happy Birthday Greg!

So, Sunday night my family got together for my brothers birthday and had a little Halloween Party! It was so fun being together. I didn't realize everyone was dressing up (I thought it was just the kids), so Mom borrowed me a crazy hat and tie. Cody and my dad were party poopers and wouldn't wear anything to dress up! Losers! Even my Grandma Downs came dressed up as Old Mother Hubbard. It was so fun!

Simon is a monkey and I'd say it fits his personality right now.
Greg and Miranda....always such good sports!

Jen had a pretty impressive Edward Sissorhands (uh...how do you spell that?)

Greg and my mom.....aw, I love my mom! She is always up for a good time!

After dinner we stripped our costumes and did us a little pumpkin decorating. Simon was so excited to pick out his pumpkin, and I think he picked out the perfect one. From the look on his face, he thought so too!

Of course there is always time for fun and games afterward! Thanks mom for throwing such a great party! Happy Birthday Geek!

My boys!

Somehow I missed this picture as I was thumbing through what I wanted to post! I instantly sighed and thought "I love my boys!" I love how tender Simon is. When he feels like hugging you, he'll hug you! So many times he'll just look up and say "I love you!" just cause he wants to! And by the way....I have to add....doesn't Cody look so rugged and handsome???? My, my, my! :)

A Weekend with the Wolfleys

I know you may think it's a miracle.....2 posts in the same month! Well, hold on to your hats folks....I've got more to come! I'm slowly catching up on my blog with all of the events that have happened this month! There's just too much for one post! Be patient mom, I'll do the Halloween Party tomorrow! :) So, a couple weeks ago we got to spend the weekend in Mt. Home with Heather and Jody and their family! It's always so fun to get out of the valley (although Mt. Home really is nothing much to behold!) and it was great to see the family!

Simon was so excited all week to ride Jody's new horse "Suger Legs", but shocker, once we got there he wouldn't go near the horses!

Mike had an eventful ride wich consisted of Suger Legs taking off on a little jont! Does Mike look a little nervous???

Here's my proof that I rode the horse! Trayson is on the horse in front and Kutter is sitting behind me. I loved the ride. The weather was warm and the rocking motion of the horses walking almost put me to sleep!

We also got to launch a rocket (boys and their toys...and I mean Mike, Cody, and Jody!). All of the kids got a chance to launch one. It was fun to watch the "big boys" have fun with it!


Pretty much Simon and Kutter were inseperable. I loved watching how rough and sweet Simon could be all at the same time!

They Rocked it Hard!!!

Brielle loves the horses! She pretty much has no fear and I caught this picture of her trying to give it a kiss! She is so sweet!!!

Simon thought it was pretty cool to not be the "baby" and he was pretty sweet with little Brielle! He sure does love her and as rough as he can be with the boys, he is sweet as can be with her!

This was what you would see most of the trip. Simon thought it was great that Kutter would let him ride him around like a horse! They laughed and played this little game most of the trip! Sorry Kutter....but thanks for being such a great sport!

Best Buds!!!

And of course, no trip is complete without a little story time with Uncle Cody!!! Cody sure does love his nieces and nephews!

Thanks Wolfley Clan for letting us bombard your home and showing us such a fun time!!!

So much going on....too little time!

So much has been happening since my last post....sorry for all the pics! It's been a busy couple months! Caesy had a sleepover with us one night and Simon had a blast! He sure does love all his cousins! Me and Caesy stayed up way too late doing our nails and watching a chick flick! Then she came to church with us. Simon was in heaven having Caesy to entertain him through the meetings!

Earlier in the month we went with the Johnsons to Hogle Zoo. It was so fun! Simon loves to see all the animals. The temperature was just right and we really enjoyed ourselves!

I loved seeing thier faces in "awe". These two are so fun to watch. They fight like brother and sister, but they always seem to get over it and have started playing really good together. I'm so glad Simon has a cousin his age that can be his best friend!

Me and Ady were "twins" that day. We both had blue on, so I wanted a pic of us together!

What can I say....so cute right?

Hayley, Travis, Sienna and Ady

Once again, one of the few moments when these two are being cute together! Simon is being the gentleman and helping Enna balance! It just melts my heart!

That's all I'm going to bore you with right now! We also went to Mt. Home to visit the Wolfleys and I have a TON of pictures from that. Also, we just had our pumpkin carving night with my family and celebrated Greg's birthday....but I'll have to post all that hopefully tomorrow! Pumpkin Walk- Here We Come!!!

High School Memories!

1. Did you date someone from your High School? Yes, I dated people from my high school. Surprisingly I didn't date Cody while we were in high school. I actually didn't even like him!
2. What kind of car did you drive? I got to drive the hand-me down Sunbird that my sister drove. That car went through 3 kids and still was one of the best cars ever! I miss that car!
3. Did you pass your Driver's License test on the first try? Surprisingly yes I did. I think I was just lucky that I was one of those late birthdays...by the time it was my birthday the drivers Ed teacher was just ready for summer. He asked me to turn left and I had to hold my hands up and do the whole "L" thing.
4. Were you a Party Animal? Not at all! I did hang out with some people that were partiers, but I guess I just never saw the thrill in it all!
5. Were you a flirt? No, I was actually quite shy. I just kind of hung back and did my own thing.
6. Were you in Band, Orchestra or Choir? I wasn't in any of the above during high school. I tried the band thing in 7th grade and that's all I could take of it.
7. Were you a nerd? I think I was. I never missed a day of school, never sluffed, usually got to school early and sat by my locker and did homework. Yet I'm still dumb as a brick! Go figure!
8. Were you on any Varsity Teams? I'm not that talented!
9 Did you get Suspended or Expelled? Not much of a trouble maker here! Well, unless I was sitting by Aaron in Earth Science. He had a tendency to get me into trouble!
10. Can you still sing the Fight Song? Did we have a fight song?
11. Who were your favorite teachers? There are a few teachers that stick out in my mind...Mr. Cottle, Mrs. Burningham, Coach Snow, I'm sure there were other great ones, but that's all I can think of.
12. Where did you sit during Lunch? In the lunchroom with Austin and Dan.
13. What was the name of your school? Sky View High School
14. What was the mascot and school colors? Bobcat. Blue and Yellow
15. Did you go to Homecoming? Yes, that was one of the few events I attended. Awww the memories!
16. If you could go back and do it all over again, would you? Not in a million years! Maybe I would lighten up a little bit and not take it so seriously! Have a little more fun!
17. What do you remember most about Graduation? There was a really big Jazz game on that night so everyone had their headphones on listening to the game. I sat by my buddy Austin. I remember the after party and being so sad that my good buddy Fish wasn't there.
18. Where did you go on your Senior Skip day? I didn't know such a day exhisted!
19. Were you in any Clubs? Don't judge...but I was in the ballroom dance club!
20. Have you gained some weight since then? Let's not even talk about it!!!!
21. Who was your Prom Date? Junior Prom was Deven. Senior Prom I didn't get asked to. I blame Austin...I think people thought he was taking me since we were such great friends and were always together.
22. Are you planning to go to your 10 year reunion? That was last year. I drove by on my way home from work and there were only a couple cars in the parking lot. Sad! I still see most people anyway!
23. Did you have a job while in High School? Ya, I worked in a little sandwich shop called "let 'em eat subs!" Lame, I know!
