Fall 2014

Here is a quick summary of our Fall happenings.

First Day of School 2014

 

Natalie turned 4 years old.

Alexis and Rebecca turned 8 and decided to be baptized. It was a beautiful day with lots of friends and family there to support them. So proud of my sweet girls!



 

 

Fall Carnival Fun!

 

Annual visit to the pumpkin patch. 

Trunk or Treat

 Halloween

 Dressed up as me for Halloween, looking pretty handsome in scrubs. Maybe nursing school for him next...not!!

I got to work at one of the medical stations during the Rock N Roll Marathon and got to see this awesome lady finish the half marathon!

Natalie has been growing up so much, lots of personality in this little lady. 



Grandpa came to visit from Hawaii. All the grandkids loved spending time with him.

 

That time we took in a praying mantis as a pet for a few days...

Thanksgiving was small and fun. My sister Anna had baby Abel two days before and got out of the hospital just in time to come eat some turkey.

Abel's first Thanksgiving.

 About a week after he was born the girls got to hold Abel for the first time. Smiles all around, they sure love their new cousin.

 Zachary decided to give wrestling a try this winter and it is fun learning about a new sport and seeing Zachary out on the mat. He has some learning to do but he is not bad for never wrestling before.

The girls and Daddy hanging out waiting for Zachary's turn.

 Lexi is on the cheer squad again for Doral Academy. They decided to take every girl who tried out so between all the age groups there are quite a few cheerleaders. Seeing all of them perform was pretty fun!

 My pretty girl!

 I am posting this picture from one of the spirit Friday's because I just look at and wonder where the time has gone. My big girls are just that...big girls. They are growing up into beautiful young ladies on the inside and out, I am so lucky to be their Mom.

So that about sums up Fall 2014. Other happenings Zach turned 36, I turned 32, we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary and I finished level two of nursing school. Time is flying by and the new year is going to be crazy but we will make it through. We always do.

Salt Lake City

My goal for our drive home from Park City was to take my girls to see the Salt Lake Temple. We managed to make the stop.  It was so beautiful in person.  It was a Saturday so we got to see about 4 brides within a matter of minutes and that made it especially fun. The girls were doing their best to be reverent and were mad that I didn't pack them dresses to wear, so for next time we will be more prepared.

After we visited temple square we met up with our family friend Eric and his new baby Monroe. We haven't met the little guy yet since they live in Salt Lake so this was the perfect opportunity to finally meet Monroe.

After the park we ate, met up with Grandma and drove back to Vegas.  It was very bittersweet.  We drove from the beauty that is Utah and the fall weather into the hot desert that is Las Vegas.  However, Las Vegas is where home is and seeing Daddy after six days of being gone made for some really happy girls.
