For Halloween this year Dylan was Willy Wonka, it was pretty sweet!
 Karsten was a zombie and Jax was a cute lil' indian. My kids all went trick or treating with friends, it was a weird feeling to not have kids to take around the neighborhood, so I went with Jade & Whitnee.



 In my opinion the best way to carve pumpkins is with a drill
 Over UEA break, the older boys and dads were out deer hunting so me and my friend Ginger took the younger boys down to Zions for the day. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect.

 Dylans first deer and first hunt was a success. Its small but he was sooo proud
The pumpkin carving crew

 These pictures crack me up. He didn't know I was taking these, he's licking frosting off a spoon. It just proves no matter how old you get you never really grow up. Me and him are so much alike when it comes to personality it's kinda hard sometimes. But he sure makes me happy and proud of him.





And this isnt the best quality off my phone but this is Dylan making a tackle, the pictures taken by JR Robinson he is the team photographer, he's does awesome.

Taken last week up Cedar mountain 2013. In August we celebrated 12 years of marriage. I guess time seems to fly when you're having fun. Weve been together for 16 years. The funny thing is weve both grown and changed so much it doesnt seem like we are even the same people in thses pictures. The good thing is our love has grown and changed with us. We are both better people. Hes way to good to me and does so much more than hes ever asked to do. He puts up with my crap and still loves me when im not lovable. We are very different from one another, which makes it easy to get along. Its also good for raising our boys where im lacking he makes up for and vice versa. Im so glad we can be toegether for eternity. I honestly cannot ever see myself with anyone else. The funny thing is people never thought it would last because we had a rough start, did some things backwards and got married too young. But through a lot of hard work, some happy ane very sad times, here we are. Happy and just as in love as ever:)

 As this school year started we had a lot of new firsts and changes around our house. Dylan went into high school, I was nervous, and he was excited. He loves it. Especially the open campus for lunch and high school sports and away games.
 Karsten started middle school this year, once again I was nervous. He has settled in great and loves the new freedom hes been given.
 Jaxon started 2nd grade this year and sad for his teacher he has ALL his little friends in his class. Its a little more strict, but I think its good for him.
 And along with school starting comes football season. Jaxon started playing tackle this year. This picture is from  midnight madness and it was pouring rain, his games got called early.
 Here we are taking cover from the storm.
 Later that night it had stopped raining for Karstens games thank goodness. They played awesome and had a ton of fun these three! Karsten has since been moved to quarterback and with apprehension has done a good job. It stresses me out because its so much pressure but I think he handles it good and has no form of self preservation. After he gets hit he hops right back up and goes at it again.

Jaxon after his first game. Hes on the 2nd 3rd grade team. They've done pretty well, they've only lost 2 games. They are so little, but quite good.
Dylan has loved high school football. This is after his first home game win. They are undefeated at home. He changes positions a lot, they are trying to find out where they want him on the field, but he gets more and more playing time each game and is improving all the time. This Thursday will be his last football game. I'm quite sad about that. It been a cold but fun thing to travel and watch him play!

 Karsten and his friend Mason received their Arrow of Light and Webelos awards...finally! I'm very happy we finally made it to that point, it was a lot of work and I'm not gonna lie I like regular boy scouts so much better. I am proud of him for earning this though.
 Before school started we took a quick trip up to Kadens cabin. This is Jade trying to catch some frogs, she did good until they jumped out of the net!
 They decided frog catching wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

 Me and my siblings, I'm very glad that we are as close as we are. They make me laugh, and frustrate me to end haha.
Beautiful view up a fourwheeler trail, all of us with my dad taking the picture.

 At the end of July all the adults in my family escaped to Vegas for the weekend, we had a great time!
 Nick & Beth
 I Love these girls
 the whole crew after the Michael Jackson Cirque show...it was awesome I loved it

While we were down in Vegas I got to meet this cutie, Vida. My friend Tashas baby.

 Last December we bought a piece of property on the mountain and in July we were able to go camping there for a few days. I am really hoping my kids will make some great memories there. Were excited to one day be able to build a cabin there.

 Ashley and Dylan=trouble!! Ever since the day Dylan was born these two have been great friends...and cousins. I'm so glad with her being two years older than him that she is a good example to him. She is so kind and happy and fun to be around.
 They re eating smores cooked off the camp chef, we weren't allowed to have a fire there:(
 For the 4th we went up to a RSL game. It was a good time and the fireworks were amazing!



This picture is out of order but this is literally all did while camping, EAT!! Love the powdered sugar face, silly boy!
