More Fall Fun

Rock Canyon Family Skate Night. They had a giant bubble machine and the kids went wild. Amazing what some dish soap and a blower can create!!!

Liberty Land Monday. We got the 7 peaks/Trafalga passes along with all of Utah County for $39.00 this year. We have been meeting up with Lindsay every Monday with just the little kids and we are loving it. There are no lines during the day. The kids can go on whatever they want, and LJ and I can catch up on life.
On the way down from a walk in Rock Canyon. Utah is growing on me. :)

Fall 2010

I decided to skip summer and try to catch up with Fall 2010. This is Gavin with cousin Sarah. Gavin has loved pink and princesses for a long time now. He was so excited to dress up and dance around. It was a little funny and frightening all at the same time.
This was our last sleep out on the tramp before school started. The boys thought it was the coolest thing EVER!!! This is my idea of camping so I think we have a winner. Other than the neighbors sprinklers hitting me from 2:00-3:00a.m. it was a success!!!!
First day of pre-school. My rockstar so excited about his "guitar" shirt. He ran in and hugged his teachers. It was great. Gavin went from crying and separation anxiety of last year to fun, happy, and excited this year. It made for one happy mom.
Logan has Mrs. Cottam for second grade. She is a veteran teacher. He was excited to wear his, "Warning too fast for you" shirt.
BYU football game with the boys. Logan was in heaven and Gavin enjoyed the candy. After 2-3 minutes, Gavin said, "Ok mom can we go now?" $15.00 later in candy and drinks we made it through the first half. :) I'm thinking this is going to be really fun in a year or two.

It's been too long

It has been way too long since I have blogged. So many pictures and memories to record. It has been a year next week since we moved to Utah and our life changed forever. The first six months I think I was in a sort of coma trying to deal with all of the changes and heart ache. The last 6 months I feel like I have been on a treadmill running and trying to keep up with a new career, single motherhood, and developing new relationships. Conference yesterday reminded me to slow down and invite simplicity into my life. I guess once I slow down, I realize my heart still hurts and deep down I still have a lot of grief and sadness for the loss. This year has been a year of growth, faith, trust, love, and a lot of tears. :) I am so grateful for my friends and family who have been there every step of the way whether in person or through prayer. I love you guys!

Here are a few pics from our Suze Orman Show. I wrote a thank you note to her and they ended up featuring us on the show. Logan was so excited to "be popular and famous" I didn't have the heart to tell him that his 7 year old friends probably didn't watch the "Suze Orman Show" on CNBC. So he now loves bieng famous.
