Womens Conference

 It was Eliza's first Women's Conference this year.  She was excited to come on the girls night out. We went out to dinner at the Cafe at Thanksgiving point and then headed over to Saratoga Springs to watch the conference.

 It was Sydney's first conference too.  These girls cousins sure do love each other!

I love these ladies and had fun talking and listening to conference with them.

Cupcake Wars Birthday Party

 For Eliza's 8th Birthday we had a Cupcake Wars birthday party.  Eliza loves the show and we thought it would make a fun party.  Each of the girls got to decorate their own apron and then we divided them up into teams.  We had three different challenges and girls really got into them.

 The judges were Mike, Jason, Anne, and Lucy.

 Mike seemed to enjoy some the cupcakes better than others.  haha!  He is such a fun Dad and the girls were laughing their heads off.

 The first Challenge was just on taste.

 The 2nd challenge was 50% taste and 50% looks.

 The last challenge was the theme challenge.  They had to decorate 18 cupcakes in the theme of their favorite season.  It was really fun and messy!

 We then opened presents.  Each of the girls got to take home 4 cupcakes and their apron as their gift from us.

Eliza is so lucky to have so many cousins and friends her age.  Eliza really is an amazing friend and is so kind to each one of these girls.  A lot of these girls have different personalities, but they all love Eliza and her accepting loving personality.  Whitney, Eliza, Sydney, Katie, Dani, Brooklyn, Claire, Leah, Kallee, and Tori.

Cousin Time

 We always enjoy Family Sunday and being with our cousins.  Anne loves all the babies and enjoyed taking care of Lottie

 These cute girls are getting so big!

Cute Nephews Hayden and David!

Young Family 2015

 My Mom just wanted a snap shot of our family this year.  I set up my camera and we tried hard to get all these little faces looking at the camera.  I have to saw the littles did pretty good.  I sure love all these people!

The kids wanted to do a silly face photo so we did one of those too! hahah!  So fun!

Happy 20th Anniversary Tom and Cathy

 Sorry these pictures are so blurry, but I was laughing so hard at Tom and these pictures.  Cathy and everyone else were making their way home on Tom and Cathy's 20th anniversary.  So, as sister-in-laws we planned a party for Tom.  He brought her bridal picture and their wedding album.  We had fun sending pictures to Cathy.

 Maybe dancing with her will make him feel better?

 We got Cathy's 20th anniversary gift! hahah!

 Tom enjoying his wedding album without Cathy

Tom telling all of us about his big day.  It was fun to be with family for the night and have some good laughs.  We just hung out as girls and Tom and the boys headed downstairs to watch the Utah game.  We sure were glad to have all our spouses come home the next day!

September Small Moments

 Max turned 6 years old! We love to celebrate his birthday and he seems to love when the kids sing to him.  It's the one time of year he gets a little piece of cake!

 I get to work with the Beehives in our ward and these girls are so cute.  They all might not be best of friends, but when they get together they are so kind to each other.  They have taught me so much about Christ like love!

 We need a little service project at the temple for mutual.  We put a note with some candy on some of the cars that were parked at the temple.  The note thanked them for doing Temple service that day.

Lucy was grocery shopping with me when a nice old man walked up to her and gave her a 2 dollar bill!  It made her day!  We say that her red hair brings her luck!

Lucy and Lucy

 While Mike was in Rome we tried to plan a few fun things to do while he was gone.  One of them was hanging out with Lori and Lucy.  We met at This is the Place Park and enjoyed the day together.  These two girls had a good time together and Lori and I had a great time talking about life!

 They got to look for all kinds a different colorful rocks.

 Panning for gold!

Lucy got to hold a baby chick too!  So thankful for good friends to keep us company while Mike was away!
