Dah-veed
This kid is one of a kind. Our family has more than enjoyed the time we get to spend with him. There is something he brings into our home that can't be described. Of course he sees my kids acting crazy or Bryan and I getting on each other's nerves. But there is a Spirit in our home that is more present when he is around. He has made us want to be better people. He has the kindest heart of anyone I've ever met. The other day he came up to me in the morning and said "I'd like to do some service today. Is there anyone you know who could use a visit today?" I made some cookies and we went out and visited the sick and old. It was a special experience. I learn so much from him. And feel so grateful that we get to experience his Christlike attributes.

The most fun day trip! We love going every year and almost every year we hope for a cool fall day and end up sweating in the heat. The kids could not have had more fun! We made apple cider, dipped candles, mined for gold, played with animals at the petting zoo, took a hay ride and most importantly... ate LOTS of yummy food! Until next year favorite little apple town!

Pasadena
We just got back from a fun little getaway to Pasadena. It was perfect fall weather! We ate at Pinkberry, Le Grande Orange, Marston's and Jake's Burgers. We shopped Colorado Blvd. and did the Rose Bowl Flea Market again (really it's like a dream)! I got the girl's Christmas dresses and even did a little bit of Christmas shopping. Very fun time and a needed mini break!

Conference Weekend in PS
A quick trip out to the desert for conference weekend consisted of Jcrew outlet, Sonic Run, dinner at El Galleto, Priesthood session for the guys while the moms and kids took a boat ride and saw the flamingos at the Marriott, treats, TJ maxx run, late night jacuzzi, SNL, pancake breakfast, pool, conference and a traditional stop at Old Spaghetti Factory on the way home. It was a fun, fun time!
*sadly I keep forgetting my camera places and I am realizing that I need to get the new iphone for that purpose.

The Devil in Disguise
This picture speaks a thousand words. Luckily one of them isn't actually the F word. This was by complete accident but I may be tempted to put it in her wedding video. This girl has given us a run for our money lately. How do you parent a kid who doesn't care about anything? If you know... please advise. QUICK!
D-land with Maeve
Tall Ship Festival
Our saturday mornings go a little something like this: Bryan is the BEST and lets me sleep in a little while he takes the girls to donuts or bagels. They dress themselves in whatever they want and do their own hair. On occasion I don't like to miss out on the fun and join in. It usually is a last minute decision where Bryan yells up to me "last call... the car is leaving" to which I quickly roll out of bed, throw a sweatshirt on over my pajama bottoms and run downstairs. This particular saturday we went to our favorite spot "The bagel shack" and then decided to check out the Tall Ships festival. Boy were we entertained. We had never seen SO many real pirates?
Rider's Club
Let's go fly a kite!
U-S-C!!!
Perfect FREE parking spot (which is a miracle in downtown LA), Cotton Candy, Kettle Korn, Free Cardinal and Gold pom poms, amazing weather, August Thacker-less, a close victory over Utah, The marching band's BRILLIANT half time show to 6 of today's top 20 songs including J.Lo, Usher, LMFAO = the most fun football game!!!
School Days!
The girls were SO excited to start school. But I may have been more excited! I LOVE the first day of school. I LOVED it as a kid! So much fun seeing who your teacher is and what friends are in your class! The day before we went to Sprinkles and picked out cupcakes to bring as a first day Teacher gift. I learned from my mom that a little brown nosing never hurt anyone. :) These girls could not be happier about the teachers they got and who is in their class. I have loved getting back into a daily schedule. It just works for us.
