Family Pictures

August 31st 2013

Okay so this post is really out of order since we actually had the pictures done in August!  Oh well, at least I'm getting them up.  And I don't know how I forgot to blog them!  But we had Weston's cousin Dayna take some new family photos for us so we could put them on a Christmas card and all I can say are they are amazing!  She did such a great job and I just love them!  So here's a few of them!  :) 

Makenna's our little model and Brynn was impossible to get a good shot of! But they turned out so cute anyways!

Makenna's Team Pictures

October 4th 2013

One fun thing that Makenna gets to do with Jazz n Place is get professional pictures taken with her team.  It's fun getting them all dressed up with their hair and make up done.  The girls are so cute and have so much fun posing for the camera.  For Makenna's team, Mini Elite, their theme was "Vintage Tea Party."  I think the girls all looked so cute dressed up fancy with lace and pearls.  Here are some pics of Makenna getting ready.

 

Getting her make-up done

 



 

This is her hair.  I had the girl who cuts my hair come to our house and curl her hair before pictures.  It turned out so gorgeous!

 

 

And here she is all ready for the photo shoot!  Awe, she's so beautiful!  I just cant stand it!

 

Okay this picture isn't clear or great or anything.  I hired and snapped it before they all stood up but I thought they all looked so cute and I can't wait to see the finished product!  This is half her team

 

And then these are proofs from her photo shoot.  I don't know if technically I can put them up but they say copyright across them just saying you can't print them and I'm not printing them!  :) They are so cute I just wish she didn't force her smile so much.  Oh well, she is still beyond beautiful!

 

Mascot Bowl

September 30, 2013

Every year the Lehi 8th grade football teams get together and play a scrimmage game against a bunch of different mascots.  They have Cosmo from BYU, the Lion from REAL Salt Lake, the wolverine from UVSC, the Jazz Bear and a bunch of other mascots from all around the state and even different states.  We went last year and the kids had a ton of fun so we wanted to go again this year but Weston was out of town and I didn't think I could take the three kids all by myself.  But then I found out that Gavin's football team was playing in the fourth quarter.  So we met up with Cammy and all of them to watch the game.  My mom even came half way through and it was a lot of fun.  The kids loved it and I think they had more fun this year because they got to hang out with their cousins.  The pictures aren't great but of course I just have to document that we were there!

That's Cosmo out there in the white pants.  He is the kids favorite.

 Fun night can't wait tell next year!

Chevron Quilt

My mom has made each of the kids an adorable quilt when they were born and I have just cherished each one she has made.  They are all so amazing and gorgeous and I just love them!  So I was thinking that since we didn't have a quilt on our bed that she should make us one!  So I started looking all over pinterest and of course I just had to have a chevron quilt.  So I went to the store and bought a bunch of material and she made me the cutest quilt ever!  Here it is!

Isn't it adorable!  I need to get a better picture because there is actually a border around the outside and I really love the back of it.  It is a cream and gray chevron print!  But I just love it and I can't wait to get some pillow cases to match so I can just throw our pillows on top of it. 

But isn't my mom just the best ever!

Electric Run Birthday Party!

For my birthday this year I told Weston I didn't want a present.  I just wanted to do an activity.  And by an activity I just wanted to do anything.  Some examples I gave Weston were a concert, a trip to Disneyland, an event like a motorcycle race, or the BYU vs Utah football game.  And what we finally ended up doing was the Electric Run.  It was a 5k at Thanksgiving Point.  What was fun about this was it was at night time and everything and everyone was lit up!  It was seriously so much fun!  Rus and Kristy even got me the coolest shoe laces to put in my shoes that were glow in the dark. 

So after we had cake and presents with the kids Weston and I got all ready and went to the Electric Run.  I wore Makenna's light up Tinkerbell wings and had on glow stick necklaces and bracelets.  Weston had on the glow sticks too.  And once it got all dark they had the course all lit up and tons of music playing.  And then after the race they had a big stage with music and dancing.  It was a big old party that was lots of fun.  We stuck around for a little bit and then we decided to go get some dinner.  And where do you think we ended up?  Oh ya, we went to good old Denny's!  It was so delicious!  Denny's is always a treat because we are so egg deprived at our house! 

Here are some pics of us before the run started

 

This was at the starting line with everyone waiting for it to begin.

This was one of the parts during it

And this is us afterwards!

It was seriously so much fun.  I just loved getting out and doing something totally new and different.  Thanks Wes for an awesome birthday!  Your the best!

Katrina's Birthday

September 15th-20th, 2013

I decided it was okay to have a birthday this year.  But don't worry I'm still 29!  I just thought I needed some cake this year!  :)  And this year I got spoiled and got a week full of cake and cupcakes!  It was the best ever!  It started Sunday when we celebrated mine and my moms birthdays.  We had a yummy dinner followed by presents and then a yummy chocolate cake .  It was a great night because Weston even stayed for dinner before he went back to Elko.  He left right before presents but it was still fun to have him there for dinner.

Then on Monday I got a little special delivery!  Two delicious cupcakes!  And I ate both of them!

Then Tuesday I received a 12 pack of diet Pepsi.  Followed by brownies on Wednesday!  Then on Thursday I got something I had been asking for, for about 3 months.  A whole 12 pack of Diet Vanilla Pepsi!  These are very rare and hard to find.  Weston picked me up a pack in Elko and brought it home for me!

Now its Friday!!!  My official birthday!!!!  And guess what I got for breakfast!  A chocolate Dunford Donut!  Yeah!!!, I know its so sad that my excitement in life is all about treats.  But I really try to limit myself so this week I totally splurged!  Plus I got a special delivery of delicious cupcakes and the coconut syrup so I could make my own Jacked up Diet Cokes!  It was a very good morning. 

Once Makenna got home from school we did our celebration with cake and presents.  And I made the coolest cake ever in the microwave.  The kids thought it was magic! 

Kason got me a new hoodie because I am always so cold!

 

 

 

Makenna got me a gift card to the movie theatre

 

And Brynn got me an iTunes gift card. 

 

 

My yummy magic cake!

 

Brynn loved the cake.  She didn't even need a fork to eat it, sure just dug right in!

I totally got spoiled and those kids sure know what I like!  This was one of the best birthdays I've ever had!  Thanks to everyone who made it such a great day and week!  (ps I really have the best husband ever!)

State Fair

September 13th 2013

After Weston and I got married he took me up to the State Fair.  It was the first time that I had ever been and we wanted to make it a tradition and go every year.  Well, we haven't really made it every year since but this year we did.  The kids loved it and had so much fun!  We grabbed McDonalds on the way up (which was the kids pick not ours) and then Makenna and Kason really wanted to ride the horses. Then all of us did the big yellow slide and of course we walked through and saw all the animals too!  It was lots of fun and I'm really glad we made it up there this year!

As you can see by those big goofy faces I think the night was a success.  I'm so glad they had a fun time!
