Happy Halloween!!!!

I love pictures. I love how they capture the joy and love I feel for my kids. I do think that pictures can be deciving from my day to day tasks. I don't get my camera out when my kids have been crying and fighting all day! I don't take pictures in stressful moments! I Love that they just capture their cuteness and not the attitude and the tadle telling:) and yelling. I just want you all to know..... I'm a normal, crazy, mom too!:) And I love looking back at the memories we are creating. Even I see the pictures and forget maybe the crazyness of that day or right before the picture was taken. And have you ever noticed that pictures have no sound... sometimes in a good way! I think thats why they can be so peacful! I try to live in the moment... someday my cute little ones will all be grown up.... that will be sad. I think I'll miss most, there tiny voices, oh how I love the little voices and the funny things they say!!!!

My kids can move it!

Family pictures again!!

I Love the candid photos!!! Thanks Missy YOU are the BEST! Love them!

We went on a pioneer trek and days before we decided to check out, This is the place monument

We went on the 24th of July.

Trek was an amazing experiance. We crossed the river 4 different times throughout

It is for the youth but our whole ward was invited. So we brought Brooklyn along. It was so cool to have her. Some people brought there little children. They could ride in the handcart whenever they needed. it felt more real to have family walking across the plains.

It was like a desert and was always windy...

I found out something I didn't know about my husband.... He has never worn a cowboy hat in his life!!! thats too bad, he is a GoodLooking cowboy!!!

Don't be frightned.. that is me holding brooklyn hand. Let's be honest, I am NOT a cute pioneer. My husband on the other hand...

Just June!!!!

We had a very very busy JUNE! It was so much fun!! We love the Rodeo!
At the end of swim lessons I made a swimming pool cake. We had our friends over for a BBQ and enjoyed the cake. mmmmmm
