Red Rock....

(there is a waterfall in the background but some kinda poltergeist made it invisible in this shot! Weird.)

Went to Red Rock Monday and had a blast. We love going out there and exploring. I need to remind myself occasionally that "there is beauty all around", even in Vegas.

Great imaginations in these two.

They had a blast!

Love hangin' out with Uncle Mark and Carli.

Trevor wanted his picture taken at every corner....always acting like monkey!

Watch out for that tree!!
Carli needs to be done with this pregnancy.

She's just a "little dingy"

Taylor was very concerned about getting there on time. She kept on telling us "Come ON! We're gonna be LATE"! (imagine the influx in her voice as she said it)

Oops! Wrong way! But we made it down.

The day wasn't short on adventure. Trenton decided to hide in awkward crevices. Yeah.......not a good idea! He got really stuck for about 6-7 minutes. He had his leg in some weird position and he wasn't budging.

Say Cheese!

"Mom, take a picture!!!!"

Always posing. Lots of fun.

Al - le - lu - ia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has happened. Taylor is finally potty trained!! The same day she professed what kind of "person" she was, she came to me that night and said, "I want to potty train". I said "What? You want to potty train and wear underwear?" She said "Yeah" So the next day we tried it. No accidents, no #2's though either, and I still had to tell her when to go. Today we were out of the house from 7:45 til 1:00 and everywhere we went she told me when she had to go, and she went. And when we got home she came to me 3 times saying she needed to go (#2), but to no avail. The 4th time she tried she announced from the bathroom, to everyone, including my Mia Maids, "I did it! I did it!" Finally, she can do it all, and without my probing. It is a heavenly day!

For the Birds............

Potty training is for the birds. Girls are supposed to be the easiest, but NO, not Taylor! She goes into the other room, lies down, and poops in her diaper! Apparently she knows she has to go, and that I get upset with her still doing it in her diaper, so she left the room. What? She couldn't just go to the toilet instead?!!!! I asked her why she won't us the bathroom? She replied "I'm just a poopin' person and a peein' person. I'm am."

GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian Head Weekend...........

Spent time with great friends and family this weekend!!

Shannon and Zoey

Trevor throwing snowballs at Wiley..........not much of the snowball went forward!

Trevor was a mad man in the snow.

Feeding the horses was the hit of the morning!

Wiley and Trevor

It was beautiful up there.

The boys were a little lazy!!! But Amanda and Ella sure had fun!!..........

....until they crashed, hence, the worried look.

Cason thought he'd be fancy and jump into a 10ft. pile of snow...................He got stuck!!

Trenton kept climbing random pile of snow and riding down. Him and Chris called it Man Vs. Wild, Trenton won!

Of course, it had to happen! We got stuck. Chris dug the snow out and Eddie pulled us up and out! Thanks!!!

The kids didn't mind being stuck. They dug tunnels, and Taylor just walked around looking cute!!!!!!

What a blast!

I'll get a couple of Cason and Eddie boarding down the hill later.

Too many Me's....

So I had to try it! The first time did Taylor's she actually was 8% more like me. So they got my looks and my personality. Chris is so awesome, a few of his traits would really be nice. (too many me's around)

Big hair at the park....

Well, I have 2 pictures that are really cute and truly shows how crazy her hair was that day, but blogger can't upload them, so this is all I got.

She was the socialite of the park that day!!!

Halloween...

Taylor didn't card for trunk or treating on Halloween. She loved it at our ward party, then we went to another one on Halloween and she quit after 15 min. She just wanted candy.

Trevor went to a friends house for a party, he was so excited!!! Isn't he just so cute!

Our ward party had some excitement. Fogg machines set off the smoke alarm so we had these vistors.

October Fun.....

FHE at the pumpkin patch. We even saw Cason, Amanda, and Ella, what a treat! (rides from the 60's.........scary!)

Taylor actually rode a ride without hyperventalating. I make her ride, Chris begs me to leave her alone, don't force it. I made her anyways and she had a blast!

There was no one in line, so they ran this ride for 10 minutes! Crazy Trenton!!!!!!

Photo Shoot With My Mia Maids.....

One of my girls just moved up to Laurels and she has been requesting I take their pictures for a while. I get nervous. I want it to be fun, I want it to look good, and let's face it, I'm just not Jen. That's all could think about. So this is what they got, but it was a lot of fun and I learned a few things.

Ok, I'm not very detail oriented. Some with, some without shoes. I tried! (but look! The girl on the far right didn't pose herself very well in this shot, but she did in another one. So I merged her head and hand from the better shot of her to this one. Draw one line and magic! I love Photoshop)

I should fix their hair, ears should not stick out.

.....my favorite!!!
