Christmas City

Every year Mayo Clinic rents out a place for their annual Christmas Party. It used to be the zoo, but this year and last year it was at Christmas City at Firebird Raceway. Basically it is a big carnival/ fair. Santa was there. We watched a tiger show and ate dinner. Later on we bought some cotton candy and ate some fry bread. It was so great to be with my family; Bobby, Sarah and Chloe came too. Brittany brought along Taylor as well! It was so good to see everyone, I've missed them so much. :)



The petting zoo was a big hit, Chloe has no fear!










The bull riding was as fun for us to watch as it was for Bobby and Rocky to ride!


















Taylor and Brittany have been friends forever. Taylor is like just another sister. I'm pretty sure she's spent more time in my room the past 3 years than I have!


I love to be home to participate in all the things my mom and my sister do together. I hate talking to them when they're together doing something fun. I get jealous!























Jennifer even got to come. I haven't seen her in a while, it was fun.
Whenever she was all over the place! She loved seeing all the animals! Santa was also a big hit!! She danced to music and made it so much more fun for all of us! Christmas is SO much better with little kids!!!















My dad and Chloe are SO cute in this picture! I love it. She pretty much has all of us wrapped around her little finger!

Halloween

A few weeks before Halloween Sonya and I went to CornBelly's corn maze at Thanksgiving Pointe, it was so fun. Daniel, Brodie & Adam came and Adam brought his cousin Nicole and her friend Candice. We went through the maze, rode the tractor train, jumped on the huge trampoline, ate some kettle corn and rode the haunted hay ride. It was fun, I had been wondering what the heck Thanksgiving Pointe was. I got a small glimpse that night.










On Halloween night we were hippies, my idea thank you very much. It was last minute, we had to dress up, otherwise we'd look SO lame. Sonya was a pirate!

Early October









About 2 weeks ago Amanda Monk and I went to Visit Nicole and Brady and their cute baby Logen in West Jordan! Logen has the longest TONGUE! We were happy to see them doing well and happy!


It snowed! I was so happy to go to church wearing my new peacoat and tights!! The problem is that it has only snowed once, and that was like the 2nd or 3rd week in October and it melted like the next day. Only the very tip of the peaks have snow right now!! I'm ready for winter, bring it on Utah! I finally feel like I have enough warm coats, pants and shoes to get me started. I have done so much shopping here, my favorite purchase is my red wool peacoat from gap, I wear it too much, but I LOVE it!
