The Aquarium and weekend fun


I had a Saturday off and we made the most of it!  It was one to remember.  We went to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium and loved it!  Jade thought it was so cool and couldn't wait to run off to see what was next!







They both especially loved the penguins!










And the play area was super cute!

 We loved it and were very impressed!  (Although it's a bit pricey)
 Then later that night Tom and I went on a date to dinner and a movie!  It was my idea of a perfect day....a fun family activity and then a date with my man!


For Family Home Evening we painted pumpkins!
And the family resemblances are uncanny haha! 

 I cut some bangs on Lainey and it is pretty darn cute on her!
 Playing at the park..
 This past Friday we went and did family pictures with Elise and despite the stress of family pictures we had a great time hanging out with Elise and hopefully got some great shots!!
 Saturday after work we were able to meet up with Michelle & Larry and Kimi & Jon for dinner in Springville.  Thanks for the invite Michelle!  It was so fun!
 Playing at the Jones...
 This hug was truly unsolicited!  And thankfully I had my phone handy!! Aren't they the cutest!

 Lainey has become quite the climber lately!  She worked soooo hard to get up on that chair (and did NOT want any help) and was so proud when she did


And you know every once in a blue moon when you catch the "golden" picture.... well that day was Sunday.... I'm obsessed!

Conference Weekend, My birthday, and Jaker's Jack-o-lanterns

We went down to Delta to spend General Conference weekend with my parents!  Before we left, I took this picture of Lainey petting (smacking) Marley.  Our dogs are so good with the girls:)
Lainey did a little light reading on the way down haha
Our girls had such an amazing time with Gammy and Gampy!  We all love going home to Delta.  Thank you sooooooo much Mom and Dad for letting us crash your house!  And sorry you probably didn't get nearly as much out of Conference as you would have if the girls weren't keeping you busy haha.  We love you both so much!


The weather was perfect so it was hard to pry Jade inside much!



It was such a perfect weekend with my favorite people
On the way home we were cracking up that Lainey had no clue where her sucker stick had ended up....
Jade was a fabulous patient at the dentist office and she held so still for X-rays and a full cleaning.  And no cavities!  Yay!
I LOVE this pic at the park...


My women's league Softball team won the championship!  It's been so fun playing with these ladies.  I've loved my Thursday nights and I'll miss playing...... until next Spring!

I turned the big 2-9 this year!! 29?!  What?  That was a hard number for me to wrap my head around... for my birthday I just wanted a great date so we went to dinner and then night zip-lining up Provo Canyon!  It was AWESOME!  It was called Haunted Heights so it was at night, people were dressed up scary and there was a few other activities to do along with zip-lining.

On the sketchy wagon ride on the way in...

All geared up!
It was so fun!  We rode a "haunted" military vehicle to the top platform which was actually the scariest part of all haha.  They drove us fast on a very windy road and we thought that if we were going to die, it would be because of that...not the zip lines!  There were 5 lines ranging from 800 ft to about 3500 feet if I remember correctly.  And you go speeds of 50+ mph we were told.  It was way cool.  Although we both agreed that zip lining in the daytime was better though because you can actually see everything you're flying past

Thanks for the AMAZING date Tom!  Love you!

It's officially feeling like FALL!  It's my favorite time of the year.  
We went with friends to Jaker's Jack-O-Lanterns pumpkin patch in Springville and had a great time!
They even had a baby kangaroo!


Apparently, I'm an action shot wizard!....

...and you don't even want to know how much corn we found in her underwear...


And Lainey and Nash are just the cutest together!..






Love my girls!


Tom and Steph's photo bombing haha!



That sunset was ridiculous!  The pictures don't do it justice!  Wouldn't it have been so cute if our little silhouettes were kissing in this pic?  darn!

We had so much fun that Jenni, Brittany and I took the kids yesterday morning to let the kids play.  And we went on the tractor ride this time!
