Catching Up... Halloween....

Halloween...
Carson and I spent the morning going through grandma's Halloween Box, Trying on many costumes that his uncle once wore, but he went as Mike from Monster's University and Xavier went as Nemo and Zayne went as a Tiger.

October crafts

So this month I have been very crafty...
First, my mom and Erin and I spent 3 hours making this wreath

 I'm pretty proud of myself, although I do have to confess that Erin and my mom spent most of the time helping me tie the 100 yards of tulle while I cut theirs.  Tulle is such fun stuff to cut, not!

Then I made this banner with my card friends, which took me just about as long...
But it turned out okay, I might just try next month  banner too.

Fall Break with My Boys

My hubby bless his heart felt that because my family was going away for Fall Break, that he'd take some time off and be home with Carson and I.  So we took advantage of the time and took Carson to his most favorite place- Hogle Zoo on Wednesday and then met up with all of his cousins-- one set on Thursday and the other set on Friday, but all of them at the same place-- Gardner Village!

Day 2 at Gardner Village: Tanis and Carson



All The grandkids- don't they all look like they are having fun?

All smiles

Rival cousins? No, it just so happens we like Rival teams, 16-13 baby!

Sweet smiles from a sweet boy!

35th Birthday and the Utes Win!

I couldn't ask for more, even though our birthday is technically on Monday Erin and I celebrated our 35th birthday on Saturday-  The Utes beat the Cougars 20-13... and as my lil man says... "GO UTES" every time they score! Here is my little Family before dinner

Here's Muga teaching Carson how to make the U

My little Cheerer

The best part of my night was when they scored a touched down and he started to dance, so I recorded it...

what a birthday celebration!  And to think it won't happen again for 3 years!

unusually smily boy for professipnal pictures

Hey Ya'll-

My lil' man smiled for not one, not two but numerous PROFESSIONAL pictures the other day so I thought I'd take the opportunity to post them and be the proud mama...and also give a shout out to the staff at PicCouture in the District- it was a very enjoyable experience.

I love the 3 where he is looking in

they played peek-a- boo

to get those expressions , pretty cool huh?

I love Zayne's smile!

Trip to Oregon

So after the disastrous trip that wasn't to Lava, but ended up being a fun staycation in the end with daily trips to places around here...
Monday(8th) we went to Smith and Edwards- that place is way fun, you can find all kinds of things there for cheap.  I found pink baby booties for 99 cents! 
Tuesday(9th) we went to Seven Peaks in Provo where I saw an ex boyfriend(whom I almost married) and his wife and five kids!  His wife is pregnant with their sixth and all I could think of was how hard it was for Corby and I to get Carson and how glad I'm not her!
Then Wednesday(10th) we went bowling, then Thursday(11th) we went to Park City to the outlet stores before flying out at 10 p.m. to Oregon
 
We went to Oregon because some members of the branch in a small city that Corby served his mission in were celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary!
We have kept in touch with them over the years and decided to go, We flew into a nearby city Thursday(11th) night and drove down to Oakridge the following Friday(12th)morning and visited with some ladies and the old branch President that afternoon.

Then we're foolish enough to drive back to our hotel and then drive back down for the anniversary celebration the following day on the 13th,  We had a great time though and Carson did very well on his first plane ride.

The Happy Couple of 70 years Dick and Sally Stephens with the 3 of us

It was a quick trip- we flew up Thursday night and came home Sunday the 14th but we promised everyone including Carson we'd come again and stay longer.

Definetely looking out for us

On the 7th my family set out to go on a family trip to Lava Hot Springs... we were caravanning down redwood road- my dad was pulling his trailer and then my BIL Phill was behind him and Corby and I  were behind him.  All the sudden the trailer veered from the middle lane into the right lane and hit a silver car and  truck and trailer went up and over a trax  sign and over some trees before it came to a stop. 
My brother who was in the front seat had the foresight to turn the wheel to get it off the road and turn off the car when my dad passed out behind the wheel.  
We never made it to Lava because the truck and the trailer were totaled, but we weren't 10 miles from home when the accident happened. Luckily no one was hurt in any of the vehicles involved. It could've been a lot worse than it was.  
So we all went back to my parents house and made it a "Staycation". The Lord was definitely looking out for all of us that day.
Maybe someday we'll get to Lava again, apparently it just wasn't meant to be that day.
