Homecoming

So last weekend was the homecoming dance and then this last week was homecoming week. Nikkelle said they set it up that way because some of the students had games they had to be to. So they changed the dance around. We spent a lot of time trying to find the right dress for Nikkelle. She wanted a short dress and no polka dots because that is what everyone else got. Then she hoping to find a blue dress, because it makes her eyes stand out. We found this one at Dreams of Enchantment, this lady runs her business out of her basement. She had tried on ever dress that her and her friends had tried on and kind of liked. She wasn't way thrilled about any of the other ones. Then I happened to come across this one. It was to big on her but one of the helpers saw her and she said that dress is for you. So they looked at it and adjusted it and put straps on it for her in about 15 min. She looked really pretty. Chandra was down and she was trying to get pictures of her spinning but they didn't turn out to good. This is the only one that looked good and could see her face.

Haunted Houses

On our way up to the Haunted Houses. Boy don't we look scared. When I was up at my Moms for the weekend we took the older kids to some Haunted Houses. I was trying to act all scared so I would freak Nikkelle out, but that didn't work so then we just took them in and boy were they scared. Porter was the leader and Nikkelle, Braylee, and Madison would not go through until I was in front with Porter. I don't like being in the lead nor do I like being in the very back. So I was more then happy to be second.




On the second house at the end their was guys that would chase you with chain saws. When we were running from them Braylee tripped and fell so I stop to help her back up. I couldn't get her to get up. Then once she did she took off. I could not get her to stop and slow down. She was a little freaked out by the time we got out. So I thought it would be best to go over and get pictures with the chainsaw guys. To let her know they were nice and just trying to scare us. She said those guys are actually really nice. But when we got back to my mom's she told me that when I was trying to help her up and trying to stop her she thought it was the chainsaw guy trying to pull her back in. Funny Braylee. I sure hoped she had a lot of funny and would go back with us again.

Cheyenne's 6th Birthday

I can't believe my baby is six and in first grade. Cheyenne has added so much joy to our family. She is our little comedian. She likes to act all grown up for the most part just like Nikki. She is such a sweet heart. We love her so much Happy Birthday Cheyenne.


Cheyenne is so kind to share things with her 3 year old cousin. He likes to be and do whatever Cheyenne is doing. It was so nice of her to let him have a turn on her bike right after she had got it. She had been asking for one for a while so she was pretty excited to get it. I had Shane hide it in our garage, because she doesn't really go in there. The day after he put it in there she went in and found it. So she came and asked me if it was her and so I had to tell her that it was for her cousin Hailey's Birthday. She went for that but was upset that it wasn't hers. So she was really excited when we pulled it out for her.

The Week of the Fair

This year the kids all had their lambs to show and sell. They had moved the weight up this year and Nikki and Porters lambs where both 3lbs short. So they didn't get to sell their lambs bummer deal. Kinyon decide this year to try our for the little wrangler contest. Poppy worked really hard every day riding Ceanna. All his hard work paid off and he won the 2nd Wrangler. He was so excited. He had to prepare a short speech and he did really well on that too.

Kaitlyn and Kinyon's 10th Birthday

I can't believe the twins are 10. It feels like just the other day I was not doing much except for nursing, caring for one fussy baby after the other. It was a lot of funny having two babies, because as they got older they had someone to play with. They are growing up so fast and are such a big help to our family. We love them so much. So here is a late Happy Birthday Kaitlyn and Kinyon.







Kaitlyn loved all her coloring books Markers and Crayons. And the flip flops that Shawnee gave her. Then Nanny and Poppy gave them each a subway card with $30 on them. They have enjoyed getting those sandwiches. Kinoyon liked his so much that he took the $20 that Travis gave him and went a put it on his subway card. So funny but he loves BLT.


Kinyon was so excited to get a croquet. He played this at scouts and loved it. So that is what he keep asking for.

A Lot Has Happened Since I Last Posted.

Kaitlyn and Cheyenne had been begging to do a lemonade sell. So one day while I was in SLC with my family, Nikkelle was such a nice sister and got it set up for them. It was also my birthday so she made me a cake for my Birthday.
