"W"'s 3rd Birthday!

"W" had her first friend party this year! We invited 3 of her friends from church. Only two of them were able to come, so it was a nice, small party. When they got here we had them all dress up as Princesses. We then took their picture in front of a make shift green screen and put a cute castle behind them and printed the picture for them to take home in a decorated picture frame. They had a little tea party/lunch and played, and had some fun. I made her a castle birthday cake that turned out to be pretty cute! All in all it was a great day for "W"!

Ellory had a good time with the older girls, and of course, loved the cake!

Happy Halloween!

We didn't do any extreme costumes this year, like we did last year, but we still had a good time. "W" was a fairy, like tinkerbell, and "E" was a ladybug. We went to UVU family night, and they got their faces painted and went trick-or-treating, and we also had a little Ward party later in the week.

These are the pumkins we carved this year. Will did Wolverine and Edward (from Twilight), and I did the Cougar. My cougar got second place at our Ward's pumpkin contest!

Backpacking to Coyote Gulch

At the beginning of October, Will and I left the girls at my parents house for 3 days, and went on a backpacking trip! It was a lot of fun, and a great way to get to know each other even better, and to have a 'break' from the girls. (more emotional than physical!) We had a great time. Will is going to be making a video that I will add to the blog later, but here are some pictures!

It was so beautiful down there! I hope we can do more backpacking trips in the future. It's a great getaway, and our campsites definitely beat out The Anniversary Inn! (ok, maybe not comfort-wise, but definitely beauty-wise)

September!!!!

Ok, so I haven't done any blogging since Will's birthday, I know, I'm horrible at this. But there has been a lot that has happened since then! I don't really know where to start, but we will travel back in time to Labor Day weekend. We went up to our family cabin in the Uintas, and Will, the girl's and I went on a few little hiking adventures. We got some cute family pics from there.

At the end of September, we drove around Alpine Loop, by Sundance, and got some great pictures of the changing fall colors, and some cute family pics as well.
