October fun!














































































We've had so much fun this October and I just wanted
to update our pictures with some of the fun things we did.
A trip to the pumpkin patch was a blast and the best highlight
so far, for most of us was Elena and Tyler's Halloween Birthday
Party! Between the 2 of them, we had 24 of their friends over.
It was a blast! One of the best parts of the night was when most
of the kids left, we found Brooklyn and her friend Piper in the
playroom doing karaoke! They were sooooo cute! Anyways, enjoy
the pictures!

Mason turned 6....well, about 5 1/2 months ago!










I know this is VERY late, but hey, better late than never, right??? Mason turned 6 last February! There are so many thing to say about my "middle child!" Mason is always making us laugh and he's always suprising us with the things he knows. He is such a fun, smart and handsome little guy! He may seem all tough on the outside, but he is really a sweet and sensitive little boy on the inside. One of my favorite things to do is to cuddle with him at night, I wish I could do this every day. Mason loves anything that boys love...Pokemon, Bakugan, the Wii and most of all, Legos! I'm always amazed at his creative mind and the things he designs and comes up with. Just the other day, he took the hose in the backyard and attached it to some pipes, made this neat design, and then he put a cup at the end of it to catch the water, it was pretty impressive. His brain is ALWAYS thinking of things he can do, you can see it in his eyes, I love that about him! I also LOVE that Mason has no fear. Nothing scares this kid and he always tries new things and excels at them, I'm so impressed by this. Anyways, I could go on for days, but for this year, this is it! I love you Mason, I hope you have a AWESOME 6th year!!!
P.S. The to picture is Mason's first tooth that he just lost this last month...he was sooooooooooooooooo excited!

Daddy's little girl!











Ever since birth, both of my daughters have LOVED their
dad. I think it's so sweet and I love to see how close they are.
I took these pictures one day when Scott fell asleep with Brooklyn
cuddling up to him telling him stories! She has the best imagination,
and you will either find her singing or making up the craziest stories.
I just think it's so sweet that she'd lay there for hours if it meant she
could spend time with one of her favorite people!

Tulip Festival 2010




























































































































































































We recently took a trip to the Tulip Festival. Of course we
took a TON of pictures....so here are a bunch of our favorites!
One of the funniest things was watching Ryan and his obsession
with his kettle korn. Anyone who came near him was a threat and
treated as such. He would run and scream. He was so funny!

Spring Break!









































































































































For spring break we went down to southern Oregon
to visit with some friends from BYU and we also went
to the Wildlife Safari Park in Roseburg, OR! We had such a
great time, eventhough Mason got a fever. The best part of the
animal park were the grizzley bears. They were so playful and
cute. The scariest animal was the emus that would come right
up to your car and make this horrible sound, which I believe came
from the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, Scott even decided to roll his
window up when it got just a little too close.
The friends we went to visit, have the same amount of kids we do, just
in the exact opposite order. The kids had the best time playing together,
it was as if they had known each other forever! While in Roseburg, we went
hiking to a beautiful waterfall and went canooing in a river right by their house.
Overall, it was a great vacation and we making plans to travel down there again
this summer!
