Boxers or Briefs!!!

This is the best game ever! If any of you are looking for a great gift to give family or friends, this is it!

The bad thing is...I found it on Amazon for $140.00!!! Is that right? Really??? I can't believe this, it's probably the funniest game ever but really is it worth $140.00? I don't think so, I'd rather have a new couch!

The REAL game!

Jon and I got to go to the Real Soccer game for the play-offs a couple days ago! It was a blast but quite the adventure.
It was crazy parking so we parked behind the stadium in an old LOWES parking lot where we saw a bunch of people walking. There was a sign that said "Unauthorized cars will be towed."
But of course, we didn't think it meant our car...so we started walking thinking it was legitimate because of all the other cars parking nearby.

We walked onto a large dirt hill, and started onto a canal road. We saw a bunch of people crossing the canal on a HUGE PIPE! Once we got across the muddy canal, we looked up to see everyone climbing a barbedwire fence in order to get into the stadium. It was insane and with all the clothes we wearing to keep us warm...climbing the fence was not the easiest task for me to do!

Oh well, the memory will be funny someday! The game was fun and here are a few pics of us and my mom and dad who went with us. My sisters friend got us all the tickets for a great deal! We were right behing the goal, it was awesome!

Dress-ups!

I bought a bunch of costumes right after Halloween on the clearance sales so Hunter could have something to wear while Hanna dresses up in all her princess stuff she has. They dressed up the other day and had some good Daddy time. I had to snap some pictures of the dancing, way cute!

A weekend of just adults???

We got to go to St. George this last weekend with a bunch of friends from our ward and NO KIDS! It was so much fun and painful! I mean that in the best sense...I had a horrible case of Strep Throat. Yuck, it was the worst one ever and I have had my fare share of throat sicknesses. But we had a ton of fun anyway. Jon ran the half marathon and I ran the 5K! That group of friends is so much fun, us girls got pedicures on Friday while the men went golfing, then we all went out to dinner at the Pizza Factory which was, as always, YUMMY!

Ahhh! A much needed pedicure!

Our Tops!
Our Bottoms!


We came back to our condo and played games! Jon and Abe played the Wii, which was way too much fun, we might have to get us one of those! It was so funny, they were doing boxing and, well, they just looked really funny from the behind! They blamed the boxing workout they had for not finishing as quickly as they would have in the race. Funny!

The next morning we all had an intense morning workout! It was so much fun, we already want to do it again next year, thanks guys, that was a blast!

Abe Dilworth, Meredith Harker, Jon & Mike Keyser. Getting ready for the race!

Sherry & I as we FINALLY came to our finish line!

Jon & Mike right as they finished! Still feeling good, I hate them!

This was all of us! Julie & Craig came to see us finish! They drove all the way from Mesquite, how sweet of them! Thanks guys, we sure miss ya!

Well it was a blast!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks! Well I know it's a little late but here's a few pics of Halloween and the kids in their cute costumes! We do our famous Halloween pancakes on Halloween morning (and way too many mornings leading up to it.)
OOH! Frankenstein! Hunter's new invention!

The kids & I went to Gardner Village with Amy & Keith before Halloween! That was a fun tradition I think we should start right Amy?! Thanks for coming down, we love it when you do!

I know, I know I need to rake my yard! You have to get a few good pictures first right?
THis is Hanna's game of "Daddy where are you?" What a good sport!

And this is after the Trick-or-Treating! Fun stuff, and yes...I am eating all their candy now. Gotta love Halloween!

Jon's Graduation!

Finally! It has been long coming and so deserved. Jon's last day of class was last Saturday and he's finished!

I have to say something about his dedication. There are not many people who just work through trials or hard times better than Jon. He is super focused on the things that are important to him and I admire that so much. Most of his days for the past 3 years involved a 4:30am alarm clock ringing so he could get up & run training for the 4 marathons he did this year, then coming home to study for a couple hours before work started. There were many of those nights where he was up until 2 or 3:00am doing those long papers, but most of the time he was so intent on not letting school take up family time.

So, I surprised him this past week with a quick getaway to Anniversary Inn in Logan! If you haven't been there, you're totally missing out, it was awesome. Here are some pics of our room which was called the Bikers Roadhouse! I was kind of hesitant to go there because it costs so much per night but I called to see if they have any discounts and they said they have a student discount during weeknights. Since we are Weber State Alumni, we get any room, all week long, for $129.oo! Great deal huh? You should totally go because it is gorgeous there right now, it was like a dream!

The kids and I made a sign for him for when he got home on his last day.

BIKERS ROADHOUSE

This was one of their newest rooms and so everything was the best! BEST bath tub ever! The jets were amazing.

A fountain machine in the room! Jon's favorite part was the hot dog roaster! It looks like a toaster there on the counter but NO... it's really a hot dog/ bun cooker! Men are easily amused!

This is the pool table where I beat Jon at pool! I better give him some credit, he taught me and won the first 2 games! After that though, he was history!

This is right as you walk in, Isn't that awesome?

Outside, they have a little river running next the Inn and all the leaves were falling. It was really wonderful!

Also.....when he graduated he gave me a graduation present, Desert Star season tickets for 2009! We love going there, I'm psyched! He says it's OUR graduation, and I think I agree! He definitely deserves everything in the world but we did feel like we didn't have a daddy some of that time. YAY! Here's to having our daddy back!!!

It's a long one! But a good one!

Alright let's start with the beginning of October! A fun month and a little late...sorry about that!
We have some cousins that have a pumpkin and corn patch, it's the best place to take pictures, here's a few of the kids

It's been a crazy month!

a couple bow parties this month

scrapbooking for my brother-in-law, Lane for his homecoming
from the mission,

The scarecrow festival, soccer games for Shelby and of course... the baking that happens in October! Doesn't it seem like the funnest time to bake? I love it. It's perfect for bringing in the winter and makes it so cozy!

Family Party!

We had a family party tonight at my Grandma Forman's house! When I was little my Grandma used to pile up all the leaves in her tree covered backyard and let us all jump in the leaves over & over again! She let our kids do it this year and it brought back so many wonderful memories! They loved it! We all did!

Hanna loved it most of all!

Me & my babies!

Shelby & Jon are crazy people!

Oh so cute!
