Game Day with ESPN & Thriller

ESPN was here in Utah for the University of Utah game and we happened to be going up there to see Thriller at Kingsbury Hall that same weekend so we were so lucky to be able to see the entire set up.

It was so awesome and so fun to see all the students camped out and ready for "Game Day."

The clock was counting down the hours and minutes until it started...

You can't really see us but that is my mom and I by the countdown clock showing our "U"

We even got to see the announcers trucks with their faces - it was pretty fun to see it all since every weekend, we would see it on TV and fun to have them here to watch a "U" game - GO UTES!

Look at all those tents!

So fun - I would have loved that during my college days - such a fun, one-time kind of experience.

But...just across the way was Thriller at Kingsbury Hall.

Anna and Ella were in it with  the "Chucky" dance so we had to come watch!

These "scary" zombies were all around out front trying to scare everyone before going in - it was pretty fun.

Love these scary "Chucky" dolls - they are so cute and amazing dancers!

It was such a fun night with my parents too.

Another GV trip & adorable baby turtles

We have our little friend Case with us on most Mondays & Friday and sometimes Tuesdays and he is such a darling boy that it is never a problem to have him.  He is so cute and kind and fun to be around.

We decided to take another trip to GV to see the witches and of course had so much fun together.

 We were able to go with Melissa and Charmoin and some of their kiddos too.

*Jagger, Jett, Rio, Phoenix, Case, Logan, Jax, Austin & Blake*

 They all wanted their faces painted as well so although you can't see super well their faces, they were excited to get them painted :)

 I adore all these kiddos so much - they are darling, kind cuties!

With it being fall, football season was upon us and one Saturday that we went to see Gabe play, this family was there with brand new baby turtles.

THEY WERE SO CUTE!

 My kiddos couldn't get enough of them.  They had so much fun just holding them and watching them.

Complete heaven for these kiddos - they just love animals.

How could you not love these babies though?  They were so darling!

Random pics once again

I do laundry at least 3-4 days a week - usually once or twice for Spence and I and always twice for the kids and sometimes I throw in some towels, rugs or blankets/bedding.

One day, as I was folding the kids laundry, I thought, "I better take a pic of this to remember all these little clothes every few days" so I did.

Those are my legs and feet buried in laundry :)

 Fun times every few days.

 Logan's buddy Nicholas came over to play and they were having a blast with squirt guns and water.

 Then, it was time for a snack - they are such cute little buddies.  Love them!

Melissa's bday is in October and we went out to celebrate and of course, she got to ride the saddle at Texas Roadhouse - I love, love that place!

Happy birthday wonderful friend - over 30 years and still friends - love this girl!

Oh this little one loves his daddy.  He was totally going through a daddy phase and only wanted Spence to get him from bed and only wanted him to put him in bed...things have changed a bit now but for the longest time, it was only daddy.  So adorable!

Oh, this face.  My little buddy Blake.  

You are such a sweet boy and growing up too fast!

 Oh my goodness!

This girl...she has always, always been one to mix clothing styles and colors and weather doesn't seem to be a factor.

So this day, she has boots and a scarf and her dance costume on and another shirt.....

she is so fun!  Never change Rio, never change!

These cuties had picture day at school and these were their outfits!  Adorable kiddos!

(Rio is going through an "interesting" smile face at the moment but she's adorable nonetheless!

Wheeler Farm w/ the Morris Cousins

Oh man, these kiddos are so cute and really do have so much fun together.  It makes me so sad that Erin and Kristin and their families are no longer here in Utah with us - breaks my heart really because I think cousins are so important and unique relationships so it makes me sad...

However, this day was super fun with Erin in town with her fam so off we went to WF!

Love all these boys and my adorable Rio.  I'm so grateful for her and her love of all these boys too!

 Play, play and more play at their park area.

Austin absolutely loves little kids and his cousins even more so he had a blast with Cooper.  Such a cute boy to be so kind and loving to him.

Farm Country with the Galloways

Farm Country visit with the Galloways at TP.

One of our favorite stops when the weather is nice is TP and all their many fun places to go.

Today, we went to Farm Country and it was so much fun of course.

 Starting our time off with horse rides of course!  It's their favorite part of the time there.

I am always reminded that it really is the simple things in life that creates the most joy, especially for these little kids.

They love being outside, with each other and having fun with no time constraints.

Love it!

 Austin and Rio ready for the horse ride to start.

 Blake, Logan and Jax

 My Blake and I - you can see him mouthing "cheeeeese" - he's such a cutie!

 Go Lamb, Go!

Love how Austin is not humored by my humor of getting them all on the lamb...Haha

Rio with Melissa's Jett enjoying these darling little goats

Pumpkin Patch

Well, now that the front porch is decorated, it was time to set up the pumpkins.

Since our garden only grew one pumpkin this year, we had to make a trip to the patch for the rest  which I was not complaining about since I think it is so fun to see these cute, little ones running around the patch trying to find the perfect pumpkin.

Jax had to have this one because he loved the giant stem!  I kept trying to change his mind but nope!  Not going to happen once Jax decides what he likes and wants.

Austin loved his too and was super excited.

 Logan was so, so cute with his little wheelbarrow - love him and that adorable smile!

 Cute Rio - she's getting so big!  Too big for this mommy...

 Blake was in heaven wondering around looking at all these fun, orange things.

 Oh my goodness...look at that smile! Love it!

 Mater time!

Logan and Blake were so excited to see Mater at the patch.  That's why they aren't really looking at the camera...

 Time to go through the corn maze!  So, so fun!

 My amazing, little ones - they are all awesome!

 Super fun family night together - Love this family of ours!  We are so lucky!

By the time we got home, it was dark and they had to show off their pumpkins before they went out on the porch.  Next up...carving these guys.
