This Thanksgiving began as they all do….at the Broomfield Turkey Day 5k. It was a medium weather day. Not super cold, but definitely not warm. This year I got to be with Blake, which was so fun. Rusty and Josh ran together and Halle took off on her own. Blake’s side was hurting, so we…
BEST. HALLOWEEN. EVER. Sarah and the kids were doing a toy story theme, and we knew we had to join in the fun. Sarah and I made most of the costumes, and I have to say, I’m pretty darn proud of how they turned out! We spent hours planning, and about a million trips to…
Halloween is a holiday that keeps on giving 🙂 We had lots and lots of fun, Halloween things in the past few weeks. Here are a few of them: Pumpkin Carving. And the first snow of the season! It was a Stake Conference Sunday (WHERE I SPOKE! I think it went really well, and it…

The kids woke us up at 7am and we made them wait while we, and grandma and grandpa got up and moving a bit. There was some sort of fight among the kids that ended with Blake in his bed crying and refusing to come out and see what Santa brought. It was really sad! …

Swimming with cousins at the Lehi Pool Throwing Kristin a surprise bridal shower at Harvest House at TG Point Going to Candlelight Christmas at This is the Place Heritage Park. This…
Halle could not think of a single thing she wanted for Christmas this year. So….I schemed a trip to NYC so we could do all the fun Christmas things together. Halle was totally on board. She paid her plane ticket (we scored $180 round trip out of JFK), and I paid for the rest for…
