Decorating Halloween Cupcakes for FHE

The finished product

When I got back from my short weekend home, I was able to go to lunch with my cousin Jill! Then the next day my cousin Lexi was having her baby shower and Sadie and I were able to go to it.  The following Monday after the FHE lesson the kids got to decorate their own Halloween Cupcakes.  They were in heaven!

All of us with mom and dad

Muffin always puts on my mom's shoes

She's so funny

When Whit got asked to Homecoming late at night, we almost got caught and this is where we ran and hid!

Haha oops, almost got caught...so scary

Sophie jumped up right by grandpa and started playing

They were both so into their games!

So, living in Arizona, I didn't want to have to miss out on Whit's senior year of volleyball.  So, I found a weekend where she had a tournament and knew that I would get to see several games.  It was the fastest weekend, but so fun! Whit did amazing and we were able to spend some quality time too! Especially the night Whit got asked to homecoming after 1:00 in the morning and we were right by the door, and almost got caught! But, it was so fun to be home and stay with my mom and dad and see everybody!

We love our pool

So the end of August was fun for us.  Johnny and Cherie blessed their baby Anastasia and we were able to go and that was special for us.  At the kids school, Conley, they were having a skating party at Skateland, so we took the kids.  It was the first time skating for Connor and Sophie and they had so much fun.  Sophie REALLY caught on! Then of course we mixed all of it with swimming.  Our pool is gorgeous and we love spending time there together!

Dallin's Visit to Arizona

I picked Dallin up from the airport and we went and ate lunch at Olive Garden

That night when Matt got home we took Dallin to one of our favorite Mexican Place, Abulelo's

Sophie was so tired from the long day she fell asleep on Dallin

Of course with Beegees in her mouth

Night swimming with Dal - the weather was perfect

Me and Dal

Even though it was a 100 degrees at night, I still don't get in unless the suns out:)

Wet-N-Wild

Dinner at Eric and Jody's

It was beyond fun to have Dallin come stay with us in Arizona! We went so many fun places to eat, to shop and to be together.  We went swimming, to Wet-N-Wild, Anthem, watched "Castle" at night, and always had something to look forward to knowing we got to be together.  After Dal left the kids were so depressed that they didn't even want to go swimming without Dallin.  He made up so many games with them at the pool that they said it wouldn't be the same.  We miss him a ton! Love you Dal!
