First Day of School

I am going out if order but I wanted to post these pictures from the first day of school. 

Gavin started kindergarten and is loving it. He had to wear his favorite number 90 tshirt. 

     Nate is a big fourth grader and I can't        believe it. Such a handsome boy.

St. George Marathon 2013

When Dustin put his name in for the St. George Marathon, I thought he was crazy. Although, the boys and I were thrilled at the idea of a mini vacation to St. George in October, so I didn't object.

Swimming was top on the boys list

D is for Dustin!

Nothing makes these boys happier than dirt, so we had to do some exploring

 Me watching the boys climb high

See, sometimes they do like each other.

We drove the route Friday; it felt like forever just driving it. I was so nervous for Dustin at this point.

He did it!

4:17:35

He even stopped to kiss me on his way in,

so technically you should shave a few more seconds off.

I couldn't be more proud of him. He set a goal to check this off his bucket list and did it!

The original goal was to just finish a marathon, now he says he will do it less than 4 hours.

Guess this wasn't just a onetime thing!

An effort to catch up

There is a lot going on in our world and I will surely never officially catch up but here are just some of the happenings....

Real Salt Lake soccer game

 Pumpkin picking...

 Framing the basement

 Carrie Underwood concert

 First Pinewood Derby

 Hot chocolate after trick or treating tradition, despite the fact that it was incredibly warm

California 2012

Clearly I am more than behind on blogging but I am determined to get back on it because I love going back and seeing all the things we've done.

So a few pictures from our California trip in August...

Steak & Shake in Vegas- Delish.

 My handsome Mister Palmer

                                                     Goofy's Kitchen Character Dinner

                                                             Lots of driving at Autopia.

                                       Angel's baseball game. Definitely the highlight for Dustin.

                                                  Nate with Cinderella. Gavin ran from her.

                                                      Newport Beach. An absolute blast.

                                                 Wish someone could have carried me!



Demolition Derby 2012

Saturday we went to the Salt Lake County Fair's Demolition Derby.

 We've tried a few different ones

and this one is our favorite by far.

 Gavin was in heaven. He loves numbers and he loves cars.

So cars that have numbers that crash is awesome in his book!

I don't know if even Disneyland in a few weeks will top this!

Possibly the cutest thing ever.

Back to School

Today was the first day of 3rd grade. Yep, I have a 3rd grader.

How did that happen?

Nate and his pal Chris

 Not too long ago they were going to kindergarten and looked like this...

Happy first day of 3rd grade!

It's going to be a great year!
