Family Reunion and Dino Park

We had a great weekend with the family up in Ogden. Sleepovers, games, food, dinosaur park and outside fun.

It was great to see my sisters (missed you Ami). We made the cutest craft ever for Halloween and can't wait to get together to make Thanksgiving ones and Christmas ones. The kids where everywhere and loved playing with all the cousins. Etta and Kaydee played non stop and left out one of the other cousins. We will work on letting boy cousins in to play!
The two best games ever. Cash & Guns and a fun game called Characters. We laughed, eat some great food and watched a few chick flicks. What a great little weekend, love you all!
(Andy doesn't like the slides to much but I have tons of pics)

Fall time, Park time

One beautiful afternoon, a couple weeks ago, Andy told us we needed to get out of the house. I wanted to go on a hike but couldn't decide where. Andy got a little frustrated and ended up take us back home. Well, the kids and I headed back out and made our way to the "Princess Park". The kids loved it and it was good to get out since we had a pretty low key, stay in the house weekend. I just loved taking tons of pictures of my kids and Etta took some of me. She is getting really good especially being only 3! The colors were beautiful, the water running by the park smelled wonderful with the fall air and the cool breeze was perfect. Love those wonderful fall days!

Off to the toys!

Great way to come down from the Castle

Gateway Pumpkin Festival

Last weekend we headed over to the Gateway for their fun Pumpkin Festival with Radio Disney. Gibson and Etta had a blast decorating their pumpkins, playing the little table games and dancing with Radio Disney.

Etta making her pumpkin have heart shaped eyes, it was of course a princess pumpkin

Gibby just put everything on his pumpkin he could get his hands on

The beautiful pumpkins and the talented pumpkin designers

Etta playing Plinko- my all time favorite game!

Gibby and his chocolate money and whistle he won

Their favorite part of the pumpkin festival was playing in the fountains. It was cold but they had fun trying to get as close to the water as they could and then running away from the water as fast as they could. Guess we should have made it over there more during the summer time.

Etta got squirted right up her pants leg

Waiting for the fountains to start up again...

getting a little more daring ...

run away, run away!

Zing, Zang, Zoom!

Is the Circus the Greatest Show on Earth? We sure enjoy going and keep going back each time they come. There may be a few other shows that are truly greater, however the elephants are the greatest part of the show.
We headed to the "Zing, Zang, Zoom" Circus this last weekend. Gibson was way into it the whole time. A few of his favorites where the zebras, dogs, elephants and Tigers. Etta enjoyed most of the circus. She loved the little doggies doing tricks and then once the elephants where gone she was out.

The high wire act was right by us and that was a pretty cool act
