Time with the family

Extra long weekend with dad!

Bryan had monday off so Austin and I made a plan to steal him away from his slug bug and go to the mantua campground. It was a little cold but we had fun. Bryan keeps trying to convince me we should go camping more often. he keeps saying isn't this fun. don't get me wrong i love the camping thing just not the sleeping in a tent part.

Our little family had a fun weekend carving pumpkins, playing in the leaves, working on the slug bug (Ausitn and Bryan) and hanging out together a stress-free weekend that was much needed in this crazy stressfull world that we live in.

keep going their is more

Tons and tons of rain, conference and some

oooey gooey goodness!!

RAIN - I just have to say i love the rain! i just love it when i turn on the news to see what the weather is going to be like and their is rain in the forecast especially on the weekends when Bryan is home. My reason for loving the rain is a rather selfish but i love it so much because when it rains Bryan can't go outside and work on his cars i know I'm so selfish but its so nice to just get to sit with my husband and watch a movie, go shopping and spend mounds of money that we don't have (darn tjmax we spend so much money there) play with the kids, sit around talking and dreaming up inventions or planning for our smoothie shoppe that we will someday open or just sitting around acting like idiots for our own entertainment. Their are other reasons that i love the rain like getting to wear comfy sweaters and lounging and for some reason house work doesn't seem so important when it rains but who am i kidding i mostly just love the fact that it ruins Bryan's outside plans to work on his projects and we get him all to our self's i can't help it i just love the guy!!

CONFERENCE - For the first time in my life i actually sat down with an open heart and watched conference it seemed like every talk was for me and my little family i just enjoyed it so much. I didn't think i would be able to watch very much of it because i thought for sure i would have my little cuties to deal with but thankfully Lizzy's naps were right on with conference she would go down for a nap a little bit before each session she slept all of the way through all of them. And Austin who at first kept asking when it would be over so he could play with us and be loud was soon quietly drawing pictures during both sessions on both days. I'm just so thankful that we were blessed with good little ones especially on those two days. our lives were so blessed. and i believe in that one day, things changed in our little house for good the spirit was defiantly in our home this weekend!

OOOEY GOOY GOODNESS - When i was younger whenever my parents would leave us kids home alone i don't know what it was but we insitsted on sneeking into everything we weren't suposto. we would make different food creations and hopefully have the house excatly how it was before they got home. but one of the best creations that ever came out of our sneeking is a little oatmeal brown sugar something i still make to this day and to my surprise on this rainy weekend bryan requested in his own words " heather how about you make your ooey gooey creation and we watch a movie" it just made me so happy that my little family loves this childhood favorite of mine! But i can't take all of the credit my sister crystal was the first to introduce us kids to this yummy delite. and over the years i have made it my own by adding peanutbutter choco chips honey white choco chips and much much more sometimes when bryan leaves and the kids are occupied i sneek my self a little oooey gooey goodness all to my self with a tall glass of milk and it just makes the world a better place :)

our family pictures

After two days of trying to get the perfect family photo, with everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the same time and trying to catch the special family moment. we decided that sometimes people get way to serious when taking their family pictures so we decided to go a different route. this is our family picture :) just being us
we would just like to thank curtis for all of the perfect props :)

Oh the joys of family pictures

These are just a few of the crazy pics we ended up with
We ended up going up the mountains twice the first time the kids were great but the set of pics didn't turn out like i thought they would and the second time Austin was in such a weird mood and well i was not very patient with him and my most awesome husband who just smiles and puts up with my short fuse. so we finally gave in and called Julie (Bryan's mom) to come and help us out. Thanks to her help we ended up with some really cute pics.
Thanks so much Julie!
now I know why people pay to have there pics taken.
What a day!:)

we haven't decided on the finale family pic yet but when we do we will post it
