Halloween 2012

Halle carved this awesome pumpkin out with her dad.  She drew it up and Jason carved it out with his jigsaw.  He needs to use his power tools sometime.  

Hunter's pumpkin was about the size of her.  She had to use her dance muscles to get the junk out of it.

 Halle loved scaring Hunter with all the gross guts from the inside.

 Hunter dressed up as a "Cow Girl" with her friend Lilly.  

 Halle was a cute "Flapper"  this year!

 We had our 4th annual "White Trash Garage Party"!  It was so much fun.  We sit and eat and the trick or treaters walk up and pick up their candy.  It is so much fun, I highly recommend it.

 Hunter showed up with some of her new "Jr. High Friends".  

This is the small stash of pumpkins, gourds, corn stalk etc.  that we hauled out of Grandpa and Grandma Hawkins garden.  We can't wait until next year!

Anniversary Hike! 2012

 We went on our Annual Anniversary Hike to the top of Timp.

 Lanny and Melinda celebrate their anniversary in August too, so we begged them to hike to the top with us.  Let's just say Melinda is an animal.  We thought it would be funny to show her a short cut to take that all newbies think is good.  It's a killer for most people, NOT Melinda.  She continued to kick our tails!

 So sweet.  

 The back of Timp.  The flowers were amazing.  To bad we were in such a hurry that we couldn't stop and enjoy it.  We like to see how fast we can make it to the top.  "Joy in the journey" not for us!

 We made it to the top, not in record speed though.  I guess we were having an off day!

 We stopped and had a little brunch on this cliff.

We did stop for a picture on the way down.  

 I love hiking Timp, it is one of the highlights of my summer.

The latest

 Halle got her braces off a few weeks ago. 

 Her friend Brytan also got her braces off at the same time.  

 Fisher was baptized.  It was fun teasing him with the girls.  He has 4 boys in his family and no girls!

 Jason likes to get comfortable after church stuff.  He had his suit off before the closing prayer.

 We also went to the blessing of Harlow.  She is the baby of Joe and Rindy.  She is adorable.

 We had a back to school BBQ with my moms neighborhood.  It was a huge hit.  

 Jason made the center fold of a hunting magazine.  Jason helped his friend Mike shoot this monster buck!

 I drug my friends up to Timp Cave a few times.  I became obsessed with the pretty leafs and couldn't stop begging them to hike to the cave.  I even bought a pass up the canyon so I wouldn't have to stop at the ranger station.

 In my spare time I sell suckers with some of my friends at Hunter's jr. high.  It is for the PTA.  We don't get a red cent, but we do get to spy on our kids and check out some of the freak show going on at the school.

 Hunter and her friends after a football game.  I guess we have to start staying up past 9:00 pm on weekends now.  DANG!

Halle and Gage.  This is at a family BBQ.  I thought this was such a cute picture of both of them.

92 class reunion

 We had our 20 year reunion this year.  It was a lot of fun!

Jill- Marcy- Brandi (3 losers) 

There was 5 of us that hung out together in Jr. High and Brad Tate called us the 5 losers!    We are missing Deena and Angela.  So, I guess were just the 3 losers now.

 Rachelle- Marche- Me!  My cheer friends! 

 GO FIGHT WIN!

 Jason and I went to school together and had some of the same friends.  Jason hung out with some of these guys and some others guys (that are missing or in jail).

 This crowed went to Scera Park Elementary.  Don't ask me why I am trying to be short.  WEIRD POSE!

 More fun friends.  

Nate Dallin, Matt and Rachelle Flemming, Bobby Seegmiller and his wife, Me and Jason.

I loved seeing my friends!  

They all looked amazing and were just as crazy as they were in high school.  

Back to School

 First day of School.

 Halle is now a big 4th grader.  She has Ms. Alston which is known for being a little strict and hard, but Halle will do awesome!

 Big 7th graders.  Ally and Hunter ready for their first official day of Jr. High.

 They made it,  Morgan, Lilly, Ally, Hunter, Mckynlie, Isaac and Easton.   

Kennedy, Halle and Lucas on their first day of 4th grade.

Halle's Summer of FUN!

 Halle had a great year hanging out with Lucas.  They are great buddies.   (Nyah her friend is in the back ground wondering what Halle is doing sitting by a boy!)  JK.  Halle and Nyah are good buddies too. 

 Halle turned 9 this past June.  She wanted a wallet.

 She also wanted some sunglass.  

 Halle is such a great kid.  She gets herself ready for the day when the rest of the world is still in bed sleeping.  

 This is the best way to watch the 4th of July parade, inside a airconditioned office building.  We ate donuts and juice and relaxed.  PERFECT!

 This is Halle cooling off with Scotty in the stream after the hike to Stewart Falls.

 Halle got the chance to be a big sister for a few days.  Halle was awesome.  She helped take care of Cora this Summer while Becky was on TREK.  Halle loved it.  She will be a great mom someday.  

 Cooling off with one of Becky's snow cones waiting for the fireworks to go off at the Stadium of Fire.

 Halle kept busy this Summer by taking horseback lessons and doing swim team.  She tried a new event the Butterfly and she did awesome.

 Halle also went to Sun Valley Idaho.

 This is Halle posing by the Big Wood River.  Ask Halle about the lady that she walked up on.  It was a little AWKWARD!

Halle and her buddy Nyah playing in the stream by our house.  They are good friends that dance and play together.  Halle is awesome and she is going to do amazing things in 4th grade this year.  Good Luck Halle!

Hunter's Summer Roundup!

Hunter went to the temple for the first time this Summer.  She has some good friends that like to go to the temple together.  This is in front of the Timp Temple.

 This is Hunter doing. . . . who knows what.

 We went golfing one night with the Westcotts for FHE.  Cole was giving Hunter some pointers.  Hunter wasn't listening she was just posing.

 Our annual 4th of July Hot Air Balloon launch.  We got there early ate our donuts and left.  PERFECT!

 Another tradition we do on the 4th of July is hike to Stewart Falls.  It was beautify.  The girls got to play in the water and cool off.

 Hunter's 1st girls camp.  I was lucky enough to go with her.  It was awesome to be there with her.  This is the rope swing that everyone did.  A few girls fell in, not Hunter.

 Hanging out with Ally at Girls Camp.

 Next our annual trip to Sun Valley Idaho.  It was a ton of fun.  This is Hunter in front of the you store. She looks good on her wheels.  

 The Robison's got together this year for a day of fun.  We were going to try for a reunion but this turned out even better.  We hung out at Lanny's and played on this GIGANTIC slip and slide.  It was super fun.

 Hunter and Mckynlie back to school shopping.  They are going into 7th grade.  HELP ME!

 Hunter, Ally and Lilly went to the Oquirrh Temple and the Jordan River Temple a week ago.  They made a goal to go to some different temples.  

Hunter is now babysitting and going to Jr.  High.  She is getting so old.  She is awesome.  Good luck in Jr. High.  Mommy loves you!

( I need a cinnamon roll, fast!)
