Birthday and Trunk or Treat!

We had a pretty buys weekend. Dillon turned 4 and we had a couple parties for him and trunk or treat was also this weekend.

Saturday we started by working on Dillon's proton pack so that it would be finished by that night for the trunk or treat as well as getting the chili started to cook. Dillon decided to open his gifts from us about that time and he was so excited to see that he got a remote control truck and a Dinosaur train movie.


Then we ran some errands and also took Dillon out for lunch for his Birthday. We went to Chic-fil-a and also let him play in the play place that they had.

Next it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's house.We enjoyed so me fun times and cake and ice cream. Dillon did so well blowing out his candles. He got some water balls, a couple outfits and a new coat. We of course were in such a hurry that we forgot the camera. Grandpa did take some pics for us though.

Then we were off to the trunk or treat. We got his proton pack completed and the chili finished.


We ended up making it to the church a half hour later then we were to be there. We were still able to get the gym all ready for the party and it was a great night. (we took almost 300 pics I just chose my favs)


He was a Walmart store!


Vending Machine!


She and her family went as Bee's she was the Queen.

Sunday we had Church and had a great time there. Dillon was a bit of a pill, I guess it just was not his day.

Later we went up to Maggie and Papa's house to celebrate more of Dillon's Birthday. WE had Pizza for lunch (Dillon's chose), and of course cake and ice cream. Dillon of course loves playing in the dirt and with Uncle David and Aunt Jess's dogs. Then it was presents time he got a lot of fun things.

He had so much fun for his birthday. I just can't believe that he is 4. He is getting so bug. He loves to learn and "build" works. He is one smart kid and We are so glad to have him in our family!



Just for fun the sunset on our way home last night.

Hay maze and leaves!

Last weekend we went to the hay maze that they had here in Parker and Dillon loved it. He enjoyed going through the maze and under the little tunnel areas.




Today we went to the Library and decided to take the camera to take some pictures of the leaves. These are my favorites!

Cider Days!

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to go to Cider Days with Mikel's family. IT was so much fun there were booths with samples, spinning wheels with prizes for the kids, stuff to buy and plenty of things for the kids to do. We had so much fun here are some pics from that day.

The Hunger Games

If you haven't read these book you MUST! They are not girly in anyway, they are about a community that is run by the Capitol and they have these hunger games but choosing a male and female from all 12 districts to compete in a battle to the death.

I just finished the last one Mockingjay. It was a great book the only thing is I didn't like how it ended. I won't spoil it for you but, if you would like to talk about it we can email or facebook or what not. I highly recommend these books!

The Immortals series

I know I have been lazy in blogging lately but I have been keeping busy with Dillon and reading many books. I figured I would use this blog as a way to share what I am reading. I have just finished Dark Flame by Alyson Noel.



It is the 4th book in the Immortals series and I loved it. The idea behind the books is this, Ever can hear other people's thoughts and see energy. When she meets Damen she discovers that she is immortal and that is why she has those powers, as well as other secrets that he has.

These are the first three books.


Next: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Happy Anniversary!!

Today Mikel and I are celebrating two anniversaries. First is the day we got married 5 years ago. It seems like 5 years have gone by so quick. I still cannot believe that we have been married that long. It has been great! We have gone though many things together and have a beautiful little boy who is 3 now.

Here is Mikel and I on our wedding day!


Our second anniversary that we are celebrating today is the day we got sealed as a family for eternity! Last year we were able to go to the temple and be joined as a family at the alter there. It was such an amazing experience. We were able to have family and close friends there to celebrate that wonderful day with us.

Mikel and I being goofy!


My beautiful family!

Thank you Mikel for being so wonderful and for being a great father and husband!
