Family Pictures 2009

We have been trying to cooridnate family pics with my whole family for sometime now, but it never has seemed to work out. We recently found out that Brandon's cousin, Crystal, started her own photography business. I was so excited to have her take our pictures. We don't get to see his cousins very often, so it was a ton of fun. We had her take our pics at Wheeler Farm. The day started out questionable as to whether we would be able to have them done or not. When it came time to meet at Wheeler Farm the rain stopped and stayed clear just long enough for us to get our pics. I think they turned out great. We are going to have such a hard time picking our favorites. Thanks so much Crystal we love you.

Logan's Birthday Party

We decided to let Logan have a friend birthday party again this year. He wanted to do it before his real birthday and have it a Halloween theme but without costumes. He ended up having 11 friends show up, two of them girls. My really good friend got off work early to help me get everything ready. We made a ghost cake, carmel apples, marshmellow witches, rice krispie treats, witches hats bread snacks, and treat bags. We order pizza for everyone and the kids had a great time. The girls had a late night and the boys stayed the night. The party was full of fun, they watched Thriller the full music video, and had a dance off. It was so funny to watch all the kids bust out their moves. They even requested certain songs and knew a ton of Michael Jackson songs. When it came time to settle down and go to sleep (finally after midnight) they did great. The next morning they all got up played around while I made breakfast then ate. By 10:45 all but one of the boys had gone home. I can't believe we survived!!!

Bear Lake

I realized I had forgot to do this post earlier, so I am doing it now. On September 12th we went up and spent the night in Bear Lake. They weather had been great and then we of course we pick the weekend to go when it ends up being cold. We still had a great time just being away from home and getting out. We spent part of the next day on the beach even though it was super cold. The kids had a great time and the company was great. Brandon's brother and his daughter went with us and it was a ton of fun.
