Halloween 2010!

This was probably our best Halloween so far...

Oven-toasted pumpkin seeds.  Yum.  Just...yum.

Natalie's Halloween Parade!

 

I'm sure she'll hate me later for posting this picture, but it's just a little too hilarious not to share...

(Sorry, Maddie!!)

Dr. Kelton, Princess Peach, and Mr. Skeleton

Natalie took this one of us!



Happy Halloween!

Quote Catch-Up

I wanted to get a few of the hilarious things my kids say on record...

• "Drake is ecknoring me!" (ignoring).
• "Sa-yal away!" Drake was a big fan of this around his pirate themed birthday this year.
• "Dad, let's go, dad" or "Mom, can I have a snack, mom?" Drake begins and ends each sentence by naming the person he's speaking to.
• "You are MEAN!" Drake started this infamous phrase, and now every kid on the block is saying it. I've considered going for the copyright.
• While driving past a field of cattle, we asked what the cow says. Natalie promptly replied "MOOO! GIVE ME FOOD!".
• Drake gets angry and yells "I don't want you!".

Park City!

This weekend, Kelton and I went up to Park City for an Army Conference/Ball.  We stayed at The Chateaux (thanks, Uncle Sam!), rode the Alpine Slide, had some awesome meals, and had such a great time being with each other!

Main Street

I could not get over how rad the houses were! And I love all the colors!

this tree is covered with pairs of tennis shoes...

on the way down, we stopped at Bridal Veil falls.  Side note: I'd never seen a waterfall until I moved to Utah!

Happy birthday to the greatest husband and father!  I love you, Kelt!  XOXO! 

Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day, Kelt and I went up to Pine Valley and stayed with our friends Clint and Sara at their cabin...

Bowl-a-Rama!

Today we went bowling with the kids...

I could not get enough of them in their little bowling shoes!

Natalie got two spares, and Drake got one!

aww, those shoes!

this ball took so long to make it to the pins that Mr. Jack took a seat to wait it out...

final score!
