Bridger is 5...

I can hardly believe it has already been 5 years since my cute Bridger was born! He had a great 5th birthday in November! Our little guy is such a funny little smarty pants...he says some of the funniest things, you never know what's coming out of his mouth next! He is also so sweet and loves people. He is doing great in preschool, flying through the sight words and sight word books...can't believe he'll be in kindergarten soon!!

On Bridger's actual birthday we started out the day with going to my sister's cross country race (she did great!). After that, we came home, opened presents (he got way too many...he is so spoiled by everyone, lucky boy!). After a quick stop at the mall, we were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese with Whitney, Dani, Sheena and her husband Josh...but it was waaay too crowded, so we decided to try a pizza place in Sandy (Bridger wanted pizza)...it was delish! Bridger said he had a great birthday and we had fun seeing his excitement over everything!





He loves Scooby-Doo, so we had a Scooby party for him. He dressed up as Shaggy and his friends dressed as characters too. We had a mystery to solve complete with games, lunch, cupcakes, and a Scooby-Doo movie. It was a lot of fun and several parents said their kids had a great time! It was a lot of fun to plan the party and Bridger loved it!

Uh-oh...

Oh Kenna, please learn quickly to pick out your own outfits...we don't want daddy helping you anymore!!! ha ha ha ha

Blog updates...

As you can see, I've done a ton of updates on my blog! I have more to update, but for now I will be done...I've been working on it for a few hours...I had to put all the pics on my computer, organize them and then begin posting. All I have left for now is November: Bridger's birthday and my birthday, and December: Kenna's birthday and the Christmas festivities. I want to devote more time to those posts, so I will do so in the next few days.

Our family had a very Merry Christmas...it was great! Can't believe it's already January 2011! Josh is busy with work, and snowmobiling, ice fishing and all that stuff. I had all of December off from work...love year round and started up again last week. It's going good, but I am just busy...between work, tutoring, church calling, a home, and trying to raise my kids, I feel like there is so much to do, but I really can't complain! Bridger is learning to read and loves preschool...he is such a funny kid...I just finished filling out a kindergarten registration packet...can't believe that!!! Kenna is so cute and fun...she is loving playing with her brother, loves her doll and kitchen, is talking a ton, and her hair is finally growing (hope it grows fast!)

Hope everyone is well! I will be updating soon....for sure!!!

Trick or Treating...

Holidays are all so fun with kids! Bridger and Kenna completely loved Halloween. It was cold and raining hard for a lot of the trick or treating time, but the kids still got a lot of candy! Kenna had to come home before they were all done, because she was soooo freezing cold...she wasn't complaining about being cold though...go figure, Kenna and her candy! Anyway, our family theme was cowboy this year...Bridger wanted to be a cowboy, so I thought it would be cute for Kenna to be a cowgirl too...I made her shirt and skirt! What a fun Halloween!

Pumpkins...

Gotta love pumpkin carving...the big pumpkin is Bridger's, the little one is Kenna's. Our wonderful neighbors grow a ton of pumpkins and let the kiddos pick one out every year...they love it! The last pic of Kenna is random, but so cute!

Halloween parties...

Haleigh, Bridger, Karie..these two girls are in our ward too!

Bridger had his preschool Halloween program, and it was hilarious. Yep, Bridger is the class clown. During one of the songs, he closed his eyes for the whole song, afterward he leaned over to his neighbor and said, "I closed my eyes for the whole song!"...yep, what talent!

We went to Josh's annual work party...they put together a great party for the kids...they love it and it gives them another reason to wear their costumes!



We had a Halloween party with the Johnsons, complete with games, chili, and a Scooby-Doo movie (for Bridger!).

Work fun...

Sarah, Sommer, Clara Jo

I had to work on Halloween, but my fab job share partner came in for our school's Halloween parade. She's fab and my job is great! Just wanted to share!...

200000...

199999.9 miles

200000 miles

When I graduated from college, I bought my first car. I bought a '99 Toyota Camry...it has been a fabulous car! In October the mileage clicked over to 200,000...crazy that we have put that many miles on it! So far it's going strong, and we expect it to do so for a while more! It's been a great car!

Love Island Park...

We went up to Island Park at the end of September to visit my grandma and her husband. We have soooo much fun up there! Love it all! Being up there with my grandma and being in that area is just perfect to me! We had such a great time! We went to Mesa Falls, hiked to the lower falls, went to Mammoth in Yellowstone and saw elk at a crazy close distance, had yummy food, and went for walks around the island. It was just a perfect weekend, we loved every minute of it. We were also amazed at how close moose were to the cabin. You can see in the pics, they weren't afraid to come up onto the porch or to be close to our truck...it was really neat for all of us to see it! Oh and I didn't take enough pics...sad, but I did take quite a bit of video, which I am not going to take the time to post!!

Party in style...

Bridger went to a friend's birthday party at the beginning of October. The little boy's parents own a limo company, so they went to the swimming pool in a stretch hummer...how's that for riding in style...for 5 year olds?! He had a blast at the party!

September Randomness...

Here are a few random pictures from the end of September!!
