A Visit We've Been Waiting For

After much convincing, I was able to talk Grandmama into a visit to Utah! I know that she needed a break and we always love the company...especially when it's my own amazing Mom! It worked out to be the perfect time, because of Fall Break for her. My kids didn't have time off school until the end of the week, so I got her all to myself a whole bunch...shopping, laughing, eating out, talking, and watching a movie! It was so wonderful to have her here...we all enjoyed her!

I surprised my Mom with a G.N.O. to Witchapalooza - Dinner Theater! We bought hats to dress the part and were ready for a night of fun! We enjoyed the yummiest dinner and the most entertaining program...amazing singing and acting! My Mom even participated when the microphone was placed in front of her and she sung a line on the spot...it was hilarious! We had the best time and were singing the catchy songs the rest of the week!

Gardner Village was decorated so festive...there were lots of witch displays that my Mom loved!

The weather was just too nice to not enjoy a Sunday walk to the park!

Kenzie having fun on the rope swing!

Love you Mom!

Bowling was fun for Family Night!

We had to head to our favorite place in AF Canyon! The girls had fun exploring and kept posing for pictures...it was so funny!:)

The Slider Crew

This rock was perfect for a picture with Grandmama! We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows...when the sun went down it got pretty cold, but we had a blast!

On Grandmama's last day we headed back to the AF Canyon to hang out for the afternoon before taking her to the airport! The weather was gorgeous!

Having fun by the river!

The kids had a blast climbing trees...little monkeys!:) Matthew was brave and climbed super high one time...it was funny to watch him try to get down!:)

Kenzie blends right in...cutie!

The fun never ended in the canyon!

We love Grandmama and will miss her so much! Thank you Mom for taking a break from your busy schedule to spend time with us...it means so much! We hope you had as much fun as we did! XOXO!

You Put A Smile On My Face With The Funny Things You Say

Kenzie got dressed for Kindergarten and she put on a turtle neck. When I asked how she wanted me to do her hair, she insisted I did it like a turtle's!:)

When Kynlee was just 5 years old, she had a friend named Sam. He was over playing one day, and when I asked her what kind of sandwich she wanted she said, "I want Sam...I mean ham!"

Matthew really has his heart set on playing in the NBA. He knows that they play games on Sundays, so his solution to making it to church and taking the sacrament is, "I will just ask my Ward if they can always meet at the early block, and I'll repent on the airplane if it is an away game!"

Mom: "Deep down I don't think it is a good idea."

Karley: "In your feet?"

Kenzie is a polite little girl. I overheard her talking in her sleep one night saying, "No thanks." She even uses her manners while dreaming.

Karley found one of her toys that had been broken and said, "Whoever did this is going to pay the bill!"

Driving over the Glen Canyon Dam on our way down to AZ, Kynlee said, "The beavers must have worked hard on this one!"

When Matthew was 2 yrs. old, we went to the airport to pick Matt up from a work trip. Matthew was looking out the window, watching the airplanes take-off and said, "Look Mom! That airplane is doing a pop-a-wheelie!"

Kenzie likes to pinch our cheeks and say, "You chubby cheeks." One day I had her in the shower with me and she pinched my behind and said, "You chubby butt!"
