Can't Get Enough...

of the cabin!!!
And can you blame us with colors like these!
This girl both drives me crazy and makes me laugh! Someday she will wonder why we have no pictures of her sitting nicely and smiling.

It had been a rainy week and we were going a little stir crazy! So we decided to take advantage of the break in the weather and pick some pumpkins!

It's become a tradition to go to Pack's Pumpkin Patch.
They have such nice round, orange pumpkins and the girls love riding in the wagon.

The girls loved the funny face cutouts and straw maze!


Boy do we love those girls!

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!

Grandma at the Cabin

We were so excited that our "Grandma Far, Far Away" came down from Oregon to visit. We decided to take her up to the cabin. She brought along uncle Kirby who is going to school at Utah State.


Grandma brought the girls some prizes including these awesome glasses!

Friday night the girls went to the park while the boys went four wheeling.










The party just kept going from there (unfortunately we were having so much fun that we couldn't stop and take pictures). Saturday Uncle Kip and Aunt Chelsea joined us. We went swimming at the North Shore, got some shakes, and made waffle cone s'mores.
It was a great weekend!

Old Ephrain's Grave


We wanted to take a long 4 wheeler trip with the girls so we took the 4 wheelers to Meadowville and then drove the trail to Old Ephraim's Grave.

Old Ephraim was an infamous grizzly bear a hearty appetite for sheep, cattle, and big game. The 10 feet 1,100-pound beast was the last grizzly bear known to roam Utah.

The day was overcast and it rained a little but all in all we enjoyed the 16 mile ride to the grave marker. We ate some lunch and headed the 16 miles back. The girls are such troopers, especially Kylie who held a sleeping Mallory the whole way back!


"Old Ephraim, Old Ephraim, Your deeds were so wrong yet we build you this marker and sing you this song. To the king of the forest so mighty and tall, we salute you, old Ephraim the king of them all

Tessa just started dance classes this month. Her and some of her little girlfriends are taking a Ballet/Tap combo class.

Truth be told I would've signed her up a long time ago if I knew she was going to look this cute in her little clothes and shoes.
Here she is showing us she already has a few moves thanks to a few episodes of Angelina Ballerina.

The Greatest Party EVER!

My little sister Amy got married on September 1st to the handsome Jake.

Aren't they so cute?!






The ceremony was so special and they are such a cute couple!

The little nieces ALL wanted to hold Amy's train...only problem...there wasn't much of a train. Poor Amy had to take baby steps to let the little entourage keep up! (aren't her yellow sneakers cute!)



Jake didn't have a train and was feeling a little attention deprived so I told him I would take a picture of him "all by himself."

The girls were so excited to be a part of the wedding party!

Aunt Becca got some lovin' too. We were so happy to have her back from Pennsylvania!

The wedding luncheon was so great and then it was on to the "Greatest Party EVER (aka the Reception!"

Delicious food, gorgeous decorations, and lots of dancing!
The girls couldn't get enough of the DANCING!!! Then of course the coolest friend flashmob and more train carrying!

It was the best wedding I had been to...since my own ;)
