family pictures Fall/2013

My friend Leslee from 'Crimsonlily Photography' did an amazing job on our pictures this year. 

 I love them all!  We just got our cute puppy Koda and my kids were dying to bring him

 to our family pictures. ha!

they turned out perfect...

Boston~14 yrs

Hayes~8 yrs

Olivia~8 yrs

Ivy~ 5 yrs

birthday lunch!

lately we like to do birthday hikes instead of birthday lunches! Ha! 

Jenn was here from Hawaii and we were planning to go to the P!NK concert for my bday and 

then Pink cancelled her concert! ugh!  instead we had a fun time at "Thriller." 

The weather was beautiful and Jenn was dying to see the fall leaves and color in the mountains

so we went on a fun hike up south fork then met the girls at "tortilla bar" for lunch.  

It was delicious! 

love these girls and so grateful to have such good friends! 

and of course we had to bring our dogs... ha!

Cornbelly's...

is one of our fall favorites!  The weather was beautiful when we went, was fall break so we 

were worried it would be super crowded, but it wasn't too bad.  I had to beg boston to 

come and play with us. ha! stinker teenagers!

This year they added so much more to cornbelly's, they had 2 jumping areas and an awesome area

for the boys to play airsoft wars with huge balls that shot far.  Boston was so cute and took ivy through the Hauned monster, she wanted to do it with just Boston. haha! the other two were freaking out.

we played all day...

Ghost Falls...

We have had a beautiful fall and were dying to get out and see the colors in the mountains.

Conference weekend we decided to take the kids to our favorite mountain bike ride and 

hike up to Ghost Falls.  

The water wasn't really flowing very well, but still so fun to hike and take the 

dogs on a nice hike.  lots of people had the same idea! ha! 

My kids did great, no complaining... maybe now they are ready for mtn bike rides up to 

corner canyon! {wink}

it's football time...

This is possibly my favorite time of year... i love fall, everything about it, the pumpkin 

patches, the leaves changing, the beautiful fall mountains, and football season. 

This year Boston tried playing some QB!  He did awesome! He has a great arm 

and his passes are great.  He would rather play running back and middle linebacker.  That boy

loves to hit! ha!  

8th grade football is challenging, you have so many kids who have already grown a ton and some

that are just hitting puberty. It's a huge size difference and a bit challenging.  Our team kind 

of struggled this year, but they still had a fun time.

of course the best part is that the games are on  the High School football fields, which 

is amazing!! one game the announcer was announcing all the plays with the name and you hear

Boston Taylor all the time.  It was so awesome!!!

 plus we have the cutest cheerleaders... 

love how good the Cheerleaders are to my girls, and of course the American

 Girl dolls had to come to

Flag football.

My hayesie bugs had a great season of Flag football this year.  This is his second year 

playing and he had a blast.  He actually had a fabulous coach and they won most 

of their games.  I love that he learned all sorts of plays and actually became more

aggressive!

football championship game...

Boston had a fabulous football season!  Possibly his best and favorite yet.

They played in the championship game and got 2nd place.  It was a good game and they played in freezing cold temperatures!! Boston scored the first touchdown of the game.

We had a fabulous photographer on the team who took some great photos of the boys.

these are just a few of the many awesome shots of Boston.

lucky #7

 

Boston has such fun and darling friends who came to support them on their semi final and championship game.  The stands were full of people!  so much fun!

and of course our cute little cheerleaders!!
