Update

So once again I am the worst blogger but here are a few new updates. We will start with Halloween. Halloween was really good this year. We had so many people to visit and of course Trick or Treating was very important. Logan dressed up as a Ninja, Hunter Dressed up Like the Scream Character, and Cannon didn't really dress up but had alot of fun. I wore my Stormtrooper and unfortunately we could not find a good Minnie Mouse costume for Ed. We started the day carving our pumpkins and had a blast then we made the rounds with visiting.

Hunter did his Pumpkin all by himself

He made a Clone Trooper

Logan did most of his Pumpkin by himself and

he made a really scary spider/scorpion. (it was just supposed to be a spider

but he put claws on and called it a Scorpion).

My Stormtrooper, Yes I am a Nerd

Ed did a Mandolorian Skull. Another Star Wars themed pumpkin.

So proud of my nerdy family.

We cut down trees and fount the bug logs to be perfect pedestools for our pumpkins.

Trick or Treat!!!

The best pic I have of us dressed up, sorry.

THANKSGIVING

Logans school did a feast for the first graders. They made placemats and fun

hats of Pilgrims or Indians and had a dance a song and tons of food.

I should have zoomed in but Logan didn't know I was coming and when

he saw me he gave me a thumbs up!

Logan was an Indian who loved Banana's and cookies.

Part of the dance with his cool vest and hat.

For Thanksgiving dinner we went to my parents house and it was a blast. Such good

food and family and friends. Our family was joined by Luke and Denise, and Winton

this year and it was a blast.

Jackson gave Logan a turkey hat. and Logan had a great Thanksgiving meal of pizza.

Cute Vala in her Twilight skirt my mom got her at the New Moon expo.

Dinners ready!!!

Vala and Cameron had so much fun together.

Cute stinker boys

Logan and Jackson had to run in for a pic too, but the other boys were

done taking pics.

I am not sure what this is but it was funny, think it might be due to

TEMPLE SQUARE

Ed and I took the boys to Temple Square friday after Thanksgiving, opening night for the lights. Ed's nephew and his girlfriend came with and it was a really nice evening. We took traxs up to Temple Square and we all had a good time.

Me, Hunter, and Logan waiting for the Nativity to start.

It was cold so we enjoyed a nice walk in the visiter's center and viewed the

Christus. Logan loved it in there especially because it felt like you were not on earth

you were somewhere special, he said.

Amazing lights no picture can do them justice.

The beautiful Temple

Every single branch on these trees had lights again it was amazing!

Group photo, I love that you cannot even see Cannon's face. It was very cold so I understand.

Train ride home, me and Hunter

Logan was able to tell us what every stop was and when we were supposed to get off.

Wonderful husband of mine.

Even Cannon had a blast on the train.

Well I know I am missing things like the school Halloween parade and Logans birthday but I will most definately get those on here soon.

Oktoberfest

So today we went to Oktoberfest. We started doing this as a big family tradition and the whole family loves it. There is so much to do up in Snowbird and the scenery this time of year is just magnificent. Today was the perfect day to go, it was not to cold and it was not incredibly busy. The boys had so much fun, they smiled all day long everywhere. They said the saddest part is when we had to go home. I have to agree with them it was such a good day.

We had an awesome day. The boys also got a few things at the little shops. Hunter said this is the best thing he could have done this weekend, and he loves going. Yay for Oktoberfest!

The Sunset City Days

For the 25th we went to the Sunset City days festival with the Alpine Garrison. One of the memebers happens to be a fireman for sunset so we got to ride on their firetruck's in the parade, some in costume some not. Logan and Hunter were thrilled they got to ride on the top of the fire truck.

After the parade we came back to the fire station and set up our booth (so to say), and we raised money for Toys for Tots.

after our booth was done we all hung out for a while and played an interesting dice game called greed. a little bit later James ( the fireman) took us on a tour of the fireworks. He showed us how they light them and how far they go up it was so cool. He also saved a special spot for us inside the yellow tape, we were total VIP's for this event. I have never ever enjoyed a firework show like I did this one. I was looking straight up in the air to see the fireworks we were so close to them. It was a wonderful event.

Cannon on top of the Fire Engine

Hunter and his best parade wave

Not sure what this meant but he had fun up there

Logan was happy because he road on the same firetruck as his girlfriend,

The little girl in the pigtails.

We had to get a good pic of our characters on the fire truck!

They put us too work, no they actually fed us and treated us so well.
