finally completly finished!

Some have asked to see pics of the casa...well they are finally here! I have been waiting to take pics until I got my shelf painted and hung on my last empty wall, and I have done it~ yahoo. I will try to give a little walk through with the pics for those of you who didn't come here the last time we lived here! Ü

View from the front door. Which I guess is technically the back door seeing how it on the back of the house, but it is OUR front door. The two bedroom are directly to the right off this room.

K in his new big boy bed! HE LOVES IT!

Left side of K room

Ride side, looking in from the door

Our "bedroom" literally our 3 pieces of furniture are DEFINITELY all that fit in there, with a little walking space.
This is the view from my bedroom, you go straight into the dinning room, the kitchen is to the right and then those little stairs take you to family room. Dont think that is a big black piece of junk on the floor out there it is Koda. hehe
The Kitchen...pretty self explanatory
Dining room view from the K's door way
Bathroom/laundry room. This is right next to the kitchen and has a stackable washer dryer in it! This is where K takes baths and when he isnt in the bath it is conviently used for my clothes drying rack, so multi functional~
The view back from the little stairs
The Family Room, and play room and scrapbook room and everything else room! WE LOVE THIS ROOM!

From the TV side. There is a huge closet on the end there and the other bathroom is back there~

Bathroom #2

So this is our little abode. I thought maybe I would be claustrophobic and think it was so small after living in a house for the past two years but it doesn't at all. It is working out great having that huge extra room(we didn't have the family room and bathroom up the stairs when we lived here before) We will probably be here for a few years!

Fun Festive Weekend

Well I don't know if you can technically count Wednesday as the weekend, but that is when the fun started! Mindy and I took the kids over to feed the ducks. It was the perfect afternoon and I think the kids both enjoyed being outside. With the fence they have put up it was hard for K to throw the bread into the water so a ton of his was falling on the bank between the fence and the water. Soon enough some of the ducks figured out that he was dropping huge pieces there and started coming up. He loved this cause they were so close to him!

This was me in the search for a smile! I love seeing her go from bored to clapping and sticking out her tongue! SO CUTE!

My sis came up that night with her girls. On Thursday we headed down to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was such a blast! My friend Lisa was in town for it because her aunt and uncle like put the whole thing together, so she was able to get us some discount tickets! It was WELL worth my $5.

At first K wouldn't go down by himself. So I had to climb up there like 100 times! Pretty embarrassing, especially cause half the time I would make him go by himself down (so he would get use to it) but that left me looking like a huge nerd going down by myself too!

Finally he got the hang of it and Nae and I sat back while they kids went down over and over for an hour. It was kinda sad at first though because the bigger kids would be like all up on him trying to go around him, I was definitely that "mean mom" to those kids some times! Ü "Wait your turn" was a frequent from my mouth! haha

Nae taking her turn with the kiddos, before K was brave!

Us with the really tall man! He had to be so tired, he was on those things ALL DAY!

Cuties in the pumpkin patch!

Little pony ride, this was a hit!

K saw the train when we first walked in and insisted on going on it! Funny that he doesn't looked trilled about the ride!

Tractor hay ride

Miss Priss looking cute as always!

Seriously waited in line for 2 and a half hours to ride this. Whiters wanted to ride so bad she stayed in line almost the WHOLE time. I think they all thought it was worth it!

We got their faces painted right before we left. K wanted Elmo and this girl did it and it was SO hiteous. I wish we would have taken a picture. But I totally went and asked if I could have some else do it...am I ghetto? I needed my $3 worth! haha

It was such a fun day! The kids were SO good. I cant believe we stayed as long as we did. We went at 11 and stayed until 7. They had so much fun. It was so good to see Lisa and the kids. I am so annoyed we are lame and didn't even think to get a pic. I miss you already friend!

On Friday we went to Gardener Village to the Wee Witched Weekend. After Scarecrow festival it was pretty disappointing. There wasnt much for the kids to do, and the few things there were had HUGE lines and we had already done the day before. So we stayed for the costume parade, lunch and a pic with a witch.

I love that Libs is like...."um who is that lady?"

We told the kids since we didn't really get to do anything fun we would take them to the mall and let them ride some rides there. How many kids can you fit in the ice cream truck?

To finish off the weekend with a bam, we all got the stomach flu! Me, Nae, Phil, K, my dad, and Libs. I am also getting ANOTHER cold sore...what the? I guess you can only have so much fun huh?

Family Trip

My parents and brothers own a cabin up Big Cottonwood, so for the weekend of conference we headed up there...the whole fam. We roasted hotdogs on Friday which was a good thing since it rained the rest of the weekend. We had a good time spending time together, watching conference(the way you do with 12 kids), eating treats(LOTS OF TREATS), and seeing the kids play together.

Crazy little Boys! (K and Frank my brother Jeff's youngest)

Clarence and K were the first to the Pizza!

Rub a dub dub 3 girls in the tub. This is pretty much the only girl cousins in our family (minus Libs) There are 7 boys and 4 girls.

Celebrating our fall birthdays!

Who doesn't love a good ol sit on grandpa's lap!

Whitters and Naebor

Jeff's kids with Grandpa

This is not a pleasant pic, but it is the only one of us. Phil was only able to come up Friday Night and Sunday morning, so he wasnt there much.

Crazy Claire Bear!

SYTYCD tour!

This is by far one of my most favorite things to go to. After going last year with my cousin, Kinder and Aunt Lieu in Baltimore I don't think I can EVER miss it! This year my mom, Missy, me, Kinder, Nick and Ali(all my cousins) went to see it at the E center. Never a disappointment, it was awesome! I swear after this show and the tour all I want to do is dance, and wish I still could!

Before the show we went to Tios for dinner, my good ol first employer. It was tasty as usual.Kinder, Shannon, Me, Missy, Ali aka Kerrington and Nick

I thought this was pretty fun to have our pic with the SYTYCD background! Red(nick) was taking the pics so it is just the girls. We teased Ali the whole night about looking like Kerrington, we thought she should have tried to sell it, by getting people to pay for pics with her!
Miss and me waiting for the show. So glad Miss could come to take my sis' spot. We missed you naebor, but I am sure Miss was glad you couldn't make it! Ü

Kin, mom and me

Now for some pics of my favorite dances! I thought they turned out pretty good for being on the 18th row in the actual stadium. My pics from last year you could see up close and personal people faces, as we were FRONT ROW!

Kerrington and Twitch

Joshua and Katee, loved this Bollywood dance.

All of them dancing together!

Katee and Will dancing to David Achuleta's version of Imagine! LOVE

Of course Bleeding Love, whose favorite isn't this one? When it finished I literally said "repeat!" I want to be able to do it.

And the other favorite, No Air! I could watch these two over and over.

The whole crew doing the last dance, Please dont end!
