hApPy hALlOweEN 2010

Halloween included a few days of parties and parades and a whole lot of candy! Moms are so glad this holiday only comes around once a year. So fun, yet so tiring for everyone involved. Halloween was not the warmest this year, but rain or shine they were determined to fill there buckets to the top!

Sadie was a Fairy Princess this year. She finally Likes to pose for me. She was able to wear her outfit 3 times this year, dance, pre-school and Halloween. What a cute little fairy princess she made!

Mitchell decided he wanted to dress like up like a girl this year. Boy did he make a PRETTY girl. He even got accused of being in the wrong bathroom by a little kindergartner.

Sadie just being CUTE!

Kade always goes out on a limb with his dressing up. This year he chose to be a baseball player. He looked handsome and very professional.


Kade trying to look like he belongs in the MLB.



There buckets were overflowing with goodies. We will have to be throwing some away while they are sleeping.

Halloween was busy and tiring but super fun and we can't wait until it comes around again next year!

Last Chance Camping!

We decided to get ONE last camping trip in before Scott winterized the trailer for the winter. We went up to American Fork canyon, it was such a pleasant and beautiful camping trip. The weather was wonderful and fall was in the air everywhere.

Sadie loved playing in the Fall leaves

The kids found a small rock to climb, they are always up for an adventure, what ONE does, the other TWO must follow.

Sadie is finally starting to like her picture taken!

Just me and my BOYS, after a great game of wiffle ball.

The kids playing wiffle ball up at Granite Flats! So beautiful and fun.

Me and my Sadie Bug!

Fall colors, I love fall, this shot was taken as Scott was going 60 MPH down the canyon! Love IT!

We love camping as a family. We always have so much fun and we always seem to forget how much work it is for MOM and dad, because we always do it again and always create so many fun memories together. Until next year FALL!

Our DOUBLE DIGIT DUDE!

The birthday Boy turned 10! He had to say good bye to the single digits and hello to the double digits. He was pretty proud to say he is 10.

Mitchell asked for homemade Strawberry Pie for his Birthday this year. He loved it and we licked down every crumb!

A bike is all Mitchell wanted to have for his birthday this year. He will not be getting lost with this neon orange bike he picked out. It fits Mitchells, vibrant personality.



We enjoyed a yummy meal at Tepanyaki's , Mitchell choice for dinner. They loved the cooking in front of the family and the food was yummy too.

We are ALL so lucky to have Mitchell in our Family. He loves his sister and brother and is very respectful and obedient to Scott and Me. He is a great young man and growing up so fast and oh so wise.
Happy Birthday, Bud, We LOVE YOU!

laBor dAy cAmPinG!

Kade completely in his element riding the dirt bike!

Sadie and Bo, BEST CAMPING BUDDIES EVER!



Mitchell being stubborn and not wanting to participate with the family! Is this what happens when they turn 10?

Scott and I looking HOT, but enjoying the beauty all around us.

I am not sure what is cuter Sadie gathering these flowers for me or Sadie posing with the flowers! She sure is cute!

We have never really been camping over Labor Day weekend, way to crowded for my husband. But since it was our only free Saturday, due to both boys playing Super League baseball we decided to go for it! It was super fun and super chilly but still more fun than cold. It is always nice to get up in the mountains and to breath in the fresh air and enjoy the endless beauty God created for all of us.

Pre-School and Dance! It Can't Be So!

Sadie has been counting down the days until she started Dance & Pre-School. As a mother you look forward to the day that you have NO children for a few hours, now that it is here I am not sure if I am ready for it. Sadie is all smiles, and she told me, "Mom your going to miss me while I am at pre-school". Me: "Yes, I am going to be so sad." Sadie: "Mom, don't be sad I will come back."





The anticipated day is finally here. Sadie couldn't be happier, I on the other hand have tears in my eyes, but I am looking forward to many adventures ahead with her growing up and experiencing life.

We love you Sadie and our grateful we have a " PRINCESS" in our family.

HI HO, HI HO off to ScHOoL they Go!

Sadie and I taking our picture on the 1st day of school! No tears for this moma, maybe next year when I send my baby and my buddy off! Today it was all smiles and quite peaceful at our home.

Mitchell and McKade all smiles for the 1st day! They woke up bright and early. If only this enthusiasm lasted the whole year through.

Our BARLOW BUDDIES!!!

Mckade with his "CUTE" buddies. We sure miss you already!

We were able to go and visit Camarillo and what a wonderful trip we had. We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to live there and have our paths cross with so many wonderful families. Our family has truly been blessed from each person we knew in Camarillo. Visiting was a bitter sweet experience for our whole family. We all were a little homesick when we got there and didn't really want to leave. We were able to see and do so much while we were there and had such a great time with everyone we were able to see. DON'T WORRY WE WILL BE BACK!
