Thanksgiving
Rob's family came over for Thanksgiving. It was such a nice day. All 48 of us were together for the first time in a long time. We did a big family picture. It was really fun. We had so much fun hanging out all day. It was wonderful.....crowded but wonderful.
It was a regular Cousinpaloza. The thirty of them played so well together. I can't imagine better friends than cousins.
The boy table - well one of them
The girl table - one of them.
My little baby is four!
My kidos birthdays are not my favorite days. I do not like seeing them grow up so fast. Rylee heard me saying this and said, " But Mommy I will always be your baby" . How cute is that.
Her day began with breakfast in bed. Then Anna adorned her with gifts that she had bought for her. It was a good morning for the Ry.
In the midmorning we went to Jungle Jims with Ellie. The girls had a lot of fun .
Then it was time for the long awaited Tinker Bell party. All the girls came dressed as fairies. It was so cute.
My beautiful girl!
I made a Tinker Bell cake.
It took me forever.
I put a Tinker Bell on top with wings that move.
When we lit the candels it burned some of her wing. Ooops.
P.S. This was the day I was running on one hour of sleep- because of the Twilight movie!
A group of girls went to the VIP party on opening night. It was so much fun. It started off kinda lame ( the party) but then we made it fun by being silly. The theme was the prom. Instead of wearing an uncomfortable "prom" dress we did our hair in up dos wore fancy jewelry- and then sported our jammies. It was really fun.

I am pretty sure we made fools of ourselves that night. We were so tired we became slappy silly
Bethany, Liza and Nichole ( The YW clan)
Mimi and me
For the record I got one hour of sleep that night!
Ava was the guest of honor at the firefighters luncheon. Her scary night was named the incident of the year. Kara spoke at the luncheon and did such a good job. She had the entire place in tears. It was really neat. Ava of course stole the show with her cuteness.
Mychal went through the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. He is leaving for his mission to Seattle on December 10th. We are soooo proud of him!
Rob, Nichole, Mychal, Ty and Aimee
Bailey, Adam, Mychal and Blake ( Madi was at a birthday party :))
Utes VS Oregon State
This game was amazing! Ty got us box seats-we felt like such high rollers. Our box was next to two apostles (which should be an indication for you BYU fans). The game was so awesome Rob and I were on a high for.... well we are still on that high. It was an amazing win...much like the TCU game. It was a blast!
We still have one more game to take care of ....well and then of course our BCS bowl :)
The Holy War!!!
We are so excited!
Ty and Aimee kept trying to take pictures with Elder Scott and Elder Nelson in the background. You can see Elder Scott in the background here. We even rode in the elevator with him- he smiled at Peyton!!! Maybe some day she will be a Ute because of it :)
The crowd rushed the field. It was awesome! Rob had his rally cap on. We both did in the TCU game- we are pretty sure that's why we won both times! :)
Aimee took our pictures again. She is awesome.
If any of you need some cute pictures taken, visit her blog to check it out!
Kara , Ava and Jared- what a cute family .....especially the Ava part :)
Parkinson Family
Rob and I have not had our picture taken since our engagement. We thought since we just had our ten year, we might as well have one done.
Young Women Halloween Party.
This year was so much fun. Brigitta brought her awesome food, we played fun games and even danced to Thriller. It was so fun!
We have wondered for some time if Anna was a true spy. This year I think she was toying with us a little choosing to be an Incredible. We ask her if she's a spy kid all the time, but she always denies it. We don't think she would tell us if she were. Hmmm.
Look how cute these little ones are! Jayden's beard cracks me up.
We played a fun game at Anna'a class party. The kids were laughing so hard. We had a bag full of wigs. When the music stopped the person holding the bag had to choose a wig-without looking! They had so much fun. We even had Mrs. Dransfield put one on- it was so funny.
Movie day with Ry and her friends, Bronte, Jayden and Ellie
Gardner Village with Grandma
Mom and the kidos at the Scarecrow Festival.
We love going every year- it reminds us of Aunt Jeana.
Rylee Jane and her Daddy. Awwww sweet!
The pumpkin patch and corn maze
Rylee's first day of preschool.
This day could not come any sooner. She was so excited to be a big kid. What a cutie!
So I think we are all carnivaled out!
The pictures were just too cute to not put on. For the record
Peach Days was better :)
Anna is in third grade! It has been a busy couple of months for this kid!

The pumpkin patch and corn maze
Rylee's first day of preschool. 
We took the kidos to the kids parade, and then the carnival afterward. It was a great night. We even got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa. 
After seeing all of the Peach Day parades, the kids were obsessed! They wanted to do their own parade and invite the entire neighborhood. Rylee was of course the self proclaimed beauty queen for the parade. They decorated the Barbie Jeep and cruised the neighborhood. They still have plans of doing a "real parade" with all the kids in the neighborhood. They have been working on the invitations. So cute!
We had a "girls weekend" when Rob was out of town. We took our bikes down to the Jordan River Parkway and went on a bike ride/picnic. We ended up at Gardner Village for some "girl shopping". We had a good weekend- Sorry Dad.
The skate park has been the latest craze. It stresses me out too much, just waiting for someone to crack their skull open. (Rob especially) 
Anna thinks these silly pictures of her are hilarious- so I thought I would put it on for her!
Rob is so funny- he is out to prove he is young. The most annoying thing is-that he usually does. He is such a kid- but I secretly like it....shhhh
The Daddy Daughter Party had a 70's theme. I still can't believe that Rob actually wore this outfit. It paid off though because they won "best dressed". The girls were really into dressing up too. It was a fun night for them, even though both Anna and Rob ended up with food poisoning from the lasagna served. :)
Even Anna's own cousins didn't recognize her!
Rylee looked so cute! I can't believe she actually kept that itchy wig on!
