Family photos

everyone loves getting the family photos taken right. I mean all of the stress picking out the right clothing...you want to blend but don't want to look cheesey. Getting your 8 year old to smile naturally and not to think about his smile. Keeping your 2 year old occupied and telling him as soon as we are done we are going straight to Mcdonalds.

Yep, these are our family photos and every little thing I stressed about was well worth it. I LOVE THEM!!! My boys look great and Carson likes to show me his soft smile all the time now. Amy Harrison did an awesome job.

Halloween festivities

Way To Go Broncos

It was Superbowl Tuesday in Springville yesterday when the Broncos played the undefeated Titans in the flag football championship game. Yes Peter got to play in the championship game his very first season of flag football. Unfortunately they didn't pull of the big "W" but it was an exciting game and a great year. Peter did a wonderful job and won blocker of the year in our books.

Sorry about the blurry photos. I think Santa needs to bring me a new camera for Christmas!!

Carson's soccer season

We had a lot of fun watching Carson play soccer. This was his second year playing soccer and he improved a ton since last season. He even scored some goals this year. He was on a team full of friends and neighbors and they named their team the Black Moles. Way to go Carson!!

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth...

don't faint, I am actually publishing a post - hey look, I actually did a few of them. I have been crazy busy and blogging was not on the top of my list for a while, but things have changed I may blog everyday (don't hold your breath). I will have to say that I enjoy looking at all of my family and friends blogs so I decided to update mine for your enjoyment (cause I am sure you all haven't been able to cope with out it).

For UEA we went to Salt Lake and spent some time at Wheeler Farm and the Tracy Aviary. I love this time of year, especially when the weather is nice and you can spend it outside. We are so happy that we got to spend the day with Nana and Papa Gentry.

Tracy Aviary

how many of you have forgotten about this place? Peter, Carson and Isaac enjoy seeing all the birds and then playing at Liberty Park afterwards. This time around we got to go with Nana and Papa!

Surprise!! We're going to Disneyland

the boys had no idea that a trip for a few days in St. George was really going to be a trip to Disneyland. Peter guessed that we were going after I told him that the Mickey Mouse waffles that we were eating was a hint for our surprise.

Huntington Beach

we couldn't go all the way to California with out taking a day to go to the beach. We bought a boogie board and Peter did a pretty good job riding the waves. Carson loves to just run in the waves and Isaac just really enjoyed watching from a distance and playing smashball with mom (which he is also a natural at).

For it's root, root, root for the ANGELS...

after three days of fun and exhaustion, we went to an Angels baseball game. Drew was in heaven watching his favorite baseball team. Isaac slept the whole entire game - too much fun at the beach that day!

Happy Birthday Carson!!

We love you Carson!

Jr. Owlz day camp

The boys got to go to a day camp at the Owlz Stadium and got to play with some of the players. They loved it - especially being on the field.

Pioneer Day Breakfast

We had breakfast at Canyon Glen Park with Nana and Papa Gentry and Brad, Sadie and Shazer - and also Chloe!

great helper

Carson was very excited to be camping.

bug boy

Peter has quite the collection going on. I can hardly look at it, but I am proud of him. He has really taken on a new interest this summer. He will save me from any bug that I come in contact with...even those with eight legs!

Who wants "smore"?

This was our first camping trip this summer. We went to Lodge Pole. It was a lot of fun and very beautiful...just like I remembered it.
