New Mooning......

Premier's are always fun, no matter what. Especially a midnight movie. A few of us snuck down and waited for New moon to be unveiled, and had a blast doing it.

Ginger and I leaving for the night. We left at 9:00, and were lucky to have a friend already down waiting since 6:00. So we had some pretty rockin' seats.They had some really fun props to stand in front of. Here we are at Jacob Blacks' house. How fun is this?
Me and my sweet friend Jennie. Wahoo!Also Ginger and Kristina. What a blast!I'd better not forget the clock tower in Italy. Yawzah! Just before the lights went down, and the whole place went crazy.!!Too fun! Thanks for the awesome night girls! Can't wait to do it again!

Disneymania!

Our annual trip to Disneyland was a blast this year. With the kids a bit older, the dynamics changed a bit, but fun was had by all. Hunter is already a Disney pro.. and was excited that Hayley was tall enough for all of the big rides this year. Often Brent was off with the older kids doing what big kids do... because I am an old fuddy duddy this year.....I got queasy from several rides. Poor me!
What a cute walk away shot! On the way to Tower of Terror.
But what I may have lacked in excitement, I more than made up for in fun with Emmy. She truly was an easy traveler, and absolutely loved everything. After every ride her comment was...'Lets go again!!!'
I think this look says it all.................Em had a very specific smile for all of her photos. We were full of tricks, trying to get a natural grin. Oh well... cutie she is! We were very successful getting some fun shots with characters. I think we ran into Pooh bear, Woody, Mickey Mouse, Jasmine and Aladdin, and Pluto. It was a blast, and Emmy was very cute with them all. She wasn't scared at all, and hugged everyone of them.Pirates were out singing in New Orleans Square, and noticed Emmy singing along, so he took a little time to sing to her, 'Yo ho Yo ho a pirates life for me.' She loved it.Waiting for Winnie the Pooh. These two girls are the sweetest things! I had so much fun with them. We went on this ride over and over.Halloween is such a blast, not just because of Trick-or-Treating, but because of the amazing decorations. Posing for pictures was an easy feat, you could practically be anywhere, and get an awesome shot.Emmy isn't the only thing that looks sweet....This little piggy...My very fave was the Haunted mansion. Disney changes it out to 'The Nightmare before Christmas'. Jack Skellington everywhere. The fireworks were narrated by him, his picture was everywhere, it was great.Emmy loved the whole process, and kept up pretty dang good!Look at these crazy bugs we found in the grass.At the end of the day.........Plum Tuckered!
More later.......

Fall fun!

We took a little time this conference weekend, to get out of Cedar's Wind. Brent's sister had been to a new 'spin' park in St. George. It was a beautiful place, and all of the toys were gravity related, and the kids had to work to make them move/work. It was so fun to watch them figure things out.


Emmy had a great time climbing up to this slide, and the climb was more like rock climbing. It was a little bit of a stretch for her, but worth it! She is very proud of herself.Here Hunter and cousin Trevor, are spinning in this crazy contraption. They were giggling and having a blast. I was nauseated just watching them. Ick!Here Emmy is trying it out herself, but skinny minnie, Brent had to help her turn it.Hayley was running around like crazy. I love the beautiful smile she has. You can see her radiate happiness!
There was the silliest little 'cup' chair, and everyone had to try it out. Once you started spinning, it was almost impossible to stop.

Here Cousin Malynn is letting me snap one of her, what a cutie. She is a darling girl. Emmy a go-go!Crazy Hayley!There was also a climbing wall, and we all loved to try it. We even made it up. And I'm not just talking of the kiddies.
Trevor is holed-up in a cubby, almost.....to the top!Hayley is so easy and fun to photograph. What a beaut!My spidey-senses were tingling here.... okay, I wasn't that far off the ground....cropping is a great accessory.After Hunter and I climbed, there seemed to be a celestial glow, as we threw out our signs!And a quick swing for all....nice and easy. Thanks Shauna for the fun afternoon!At the end of the day, I caught such a cute picture of Hunter and Hayley. I'm sure they were worn out, so they couldn't fight. But.....I guess I was hoping they just liked each other. Ahh...a moment from the sibling rivalry.Of course I can't forget this little cheeser!!Hope you had a wonderful conference weekend too!

Catching up!

So...I will admit that my summer blogging has been lacking. Sorry about that. Hope to try harder!
So here is a summary from my birthday weekend in August, to now.

I told Brent that all I wanted for my birthday was to go to the cabin, and relax. Seriously, I was hoping to only plan on feeding them, and the rest was up in the air. It was so wonderful! Sadly though, not many pictures of us lazing around.
We wandered the mountain on the wheelers, BBQ'd, played games, and just enjoyed each others company. Here we go.......


This picture of Emmy might just be my favorite. Is she not the cutest little wheeler you ever did see? Love it!
We rode a new area, Casto canyon, by Bryce, and it was so beautiful. Here is the Family on the ride. Gorgeous red canyon, lots of fun.Here the girly wheeler is full throttle. Poor Emmy....she just can't see a thing. It cracks me up. She was sure with all the towering cliffs, that at any minute we would be to Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland. What a cute Disney girl!We saw this amazing tree, and loved the shot. It is so desolate in such a beautiful setting.We have a favorite ride, close to the cabin. It's called Neverland, and no there are no pixies, or flying green boys. But, there are great amounts of Horny Toads. The kids each had to have their own.Good times, good times.


This past weekend, after a failed professional attempt at family pictures, we snuck up the canyon for some quick pix of the family. (Hey, we were all done up real pretty like!)

My two handsome guys. How lucky am I?I practically had to wrangle Hunt to get this shot. Silly boy! I'm just your mom, not your girlfriend. Such a beautiful smile. What more is there to say?Cute girls, cute smiles = Stellar pictures.Emmy looks so sweet, but is a naughty demon. Sugar and spice and all that......Loving that cheesy grin of Emmy's.Sometimes the silly pictures are the best. Emmy wanted Hunter to move, and had been pinching his shoulder to get him to move, and Hayley jumped in and was faux punching Hunt too. His expression is priceless.Love to you all!!!!!
