STIKA UPDATES!

I almost forgot this greatest picture. At our recent yard sale I brought home some retro games from moms that used to be mine, maybe you all remember some of them. We all decided to play Heartthrob and it was actually pretty hilarious and the guys had that awesome 80's hair and clothes. We were thinking of putting together a game night because I also have Mall Madness the old version and I think Girl Talk might be somewhere also. I know hearthrob provided lots of laughs and entertained us for a good 30 min.

Just a little sample of the hotties we were looking at.


While were were in Heber Saturday we rode to Strawberry fish place to see the fish that are spawning it's really cool because there are just thousands of red fish everywhere and its weird to watch them swimming upstream to get to where they need to be to lay their eggs.

This my niece Angie's baby, Jazelle Amanda is the newest member of our family she's so cute and has red hair.

We traveled to Omaha in August to my Niece Jennifer's wedding

We got to stop at every tourist attraction in South Dakota on our way home from my sisters in Omaha it was so good to see them all again but after 10 days of being gone I was ready to be home again and I think the kids were tired of the car since it was a 15 hour drive.


Malorie's first day of preschool

at the circus with the Allen's and of course the girls holding there
ridiculously overpriced wands. The clown was a little strange and the first half was not really holding the girls attention, but It was ok and something different to do!

I think the elephants were the girls favorites, and according to them the little one is Dumbo!

Friday we had to pick up Jake from Grandma's and drove through Sundance and over to Cascade Springs, the leaves were beautiful and very bright.

Cascade Springs



Well I know I havn't blogged forever and I need to be better about that since I know everyone is probably really tired of looking at that tattoo picture. So let me think about what has been happening with us, I guess first of all Malorie started preschool. She goes to this awesome preschool just down the street for 3 hours on Mon. & Wed. She loves it, and I must say I am enjoying the break myself because Jake naps for 2 of the 3 hours she is gone so I can actually get things done around the house or I am attempting to sew some curtains for my family room so thats usually what I do. Chelsey has been playing rec soccer and that has been fun to watch Wednesday is her last game. She started dance again and goes about 10 hours a week which I think is a lot but it keeps her occupied which is something she needs since the teenage years are turning out to be a trying time for all of us. Jake is starting to be a lot of fun and we're starting to see a lot of his personality coming out, and best of all he doesn't cry nearly as much as he used to so things are looking up there. As for me and Jason we have taken up golfing lessons at the state park in Midway. It's been lots of fun and its something we both enjoy doing together, If you ever decide to golf I highly recommend lessons because we are amazed at how much of a difference it makes to actually be able to hit the ball straight everytime instead of just getting up there and hoping it does. That's about all thats new with us and I've posted some pics of our latest activities.
