My sister in Law Shailey we always share our birthday parties because her birthday is the day before mine.
Presents!!!!!!
We both like pie better than cake and pumpkin is our favorite! So every year we get pie on our birthday!


I have been looking for this movie forever and casey finally found it for me. It is one of my favorite 80's movies. It s a must see!


Well I am actually 27 now. CRAZY! I had such a good birthday weekend! On Saturday casey and I went to an afternoon movie at the walker cinnemas in Brigham city. It was a very good movie by the way. Then we headed up Logan canyon to our hotel. We stayed at Sherwood Hills resort. It is right in the middle of Logan canyon. It is a beautiful drive up there this time of year with all the leaves changing color. So we checked in and went straight to the pool and hot tub and went swimming. The hot tub has a water fall in it. It was awesome and oh so very relaxing! Then we went to Logan and went to the mall and drove around deciding where to eat. We ended up at Ruby Tuesdays. It was a very delicious meal. We both had steak and shrimp and mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was so good! Then we went to Kmart because they still have that old school photo machine that you sit in and it takes 4 pictures for you. We have kind of made that our tradition when we go up there. So we just played around in Kmart for awhile and Casey's foot has been hurting him so I got one of those electric cars that you ride around on in the store and I came riding arond the corner in it and he saw me and we both just died laughing! It was so funny! We had a good time playing on that! So before we went back to the hotel we stopped at our favorite ice crem place called Caspers, it is actually in Providence. But it is so good and such a cute little store! Then we went back to the hotel and went swimming again. It was so much fun! Sunday morning we ate breakfast at our hotel and then went to go pick up Layne. Even though is was a nice break I did miss Layne. I am not used to being without him for so long! He was so excited to see us! And a big thank you goes out to Casey's parents for watching him for us! So sunday night we had Casey's family over and had a big birthday party for me and casey's sister Shailey because her birthday is the day before mine. I got so many fun presents and gift cards! So I had such a fun weekend! And I look forward to doing it all over agian next year!

I am in a bunco group with some girls in my ward and last night was my turn to host it. We had so much fun! I spent all day cooking! I made Taco soup, Creamy chicken noodle soup, gooey carmel corn, toffee apple dip, home made bread, and a really yummy pumpkin dessert. We had such a good time as usual! And we all got some really fun prizes! At least I think so because I picked them out! I am so thankful for such good friends and good food! And of course a night without all our kids!

What?! SNOW in October?!!!!

Casey and Layne in front of our house
Going for a ride on the 4 wheeler!

Look at our cute snowman!




Layne finally got to wear his Thomas snow boots outside in the snow! He was so excited!


So today is October 12th and we have over a foot of snow on the ground, as you can see! I can't believe it! So Casey went out to shovel off the driveway and I got Layne and I all bundled up and we went outside and built a snowman....which I haven't done in years! And Casey got the 4 wheeler out and pulled us around on a sled. It was so much fun! I think we can all look forward to a white Christmas this year!
