HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

It was Dan's birthday on Tuesday the 28th. He turned 25 yrs old. We had a little family party to celebrate his day. He prefers no frosting on his cake so I decided to make him a cake and we'd eat it hot with ice cream so thats what I did. It was all done baking so I got it out and started to put the candles in it, Dan started to lite the candles but they started to tip over, well the cake was a lil too HOT and it was melting the candles! Didn't really think that one through! :) So we put a candle on a reeses pb cup and sang to him! It was tons of fun and Dan had a good time thats all that matters, since it was his day! Happy Birthday Babe! I LOVE YOU!

Sleep Over!

Dan and I went to Kendra's house for family dinner on Sunday and when it was time for us to leave Kendra decided she wanted to come with us. So she asked Mom and Dad and they said yes. We packed her Tiger, Baby, PJ'S, Blanky, and a change of clothes. She was a talker the whole way home, she noticed everything and made comments on everything! She loved the Logan temple at night! She's use to taking naps at my house but not over night so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. She did really good, once we got a pic of mom and dad, read her Jungle Book TWICE and Dan tickling her back. She fell right to sleep. She only woke up once and it was only for like 5 mins then she went right back to sleep. She didn't wake up until 9:40! It was tons of fun having her sleep over and we now know that she can handle sleeping over
night, for when her mommy has her baby sister or brother, she can come stay with us and have no problems with it! We are so thankful to be a part of Kendra's life and love spending time with her!

Pumpkin Carving!

On Friday we had Landon, Darci, Jada, and Brecka over for dinner and pumpkin carving! We ate Tin Foil dinners, cooked on brickets, which were delicious! It was so much fun playing in the "pumpkin guts" and collecting pumpkin seeds. We went pretty high tech this year, using kinda difficult designs. Dan was going to give up at one point but he keep cutting away! His is the spider & web! Mine is the girl scull! I didnt get a chance to get pics of the Day's pumpkins, their girls were pretty tired so they had to leave early! Landon carved his little girls names and Darci carved a witch! It was tons of fun! Thanx Day's for a fun evening!

Congrats!

(This is the only picture I have of them.)

On December 6th my mom is marry Sam Gorrell in Las Vegas! Congrats Mom and Sam! We're happy for you and wish you the best in all. They are living in Gooding Idaho, my mom works for Agri-Service in Twin Falls and Sam is a hay farmer. They've been dating for a little over a year and feel head over heels for each other from the first time they met. May you continue to find the love and happiness in your lives! It's been hard for me but I want you to know that I am happy for the both of you and I'm glad my mom has found someone that can and will make her happy! Congrats again!

We're so excited that it's doing so good and growing
so fast!

Hunting!

This Saturday was the opening for the elk hunt. Dan and I went to Henefer to go hunting with my dad! WELL I should say Dan went with my dad I chickened out, it was raining and I didn't want to get all soggy! :) So I hung out with my cousin and her 3 kids instead! It was fun to catch up! We don't get very much one-on-one time to just chit-chat so it was good! Dan has been asking me for weeks to go for a horse back ride, he got his ride on Saturday. He took my aunt/dad's horse hunting. He didnt mind getting wet and cold! That was a mistake, letting him ride the horse, cause the next day he was telling me he wanted a horse instead of a kid. Joking I hope! They only saw a couple cow elk, no bulls. But they had a good time, thats what counts! Hopefully the next time we go its not raining so that I get to go and enjoy the fun!
It's been a family tradition to go hunting for many many years. I have to say its not nearly as much fun now as it was when I was a kid. A lot of family things have changed making the experience a little different. It's a good time to get to spend time with my dad so I'm sure we'll continue going until he stops. Thinking of family traditions, makes me excited for when we grow our family and start making our own little traditions.
