We went to Makayla's Christmas recital. This is her third recital, and loves to dance every second she can. She is always asking me, Is it dance today? She can't wait for it! It was fun this last dance session because she had 2 of her friends in there, Lanee and Elle, which made it even more fun for her.
They all looked so cute in there little costumes!
Both of her grandma's and grandpa's came to watch and her Aunt Marsha.
Corben did the Little League Wrestling this year, and absolutely loved it. He did awesome! He won all of his matches. I couldn't believe the difference from this year to last year. He has improved so much. I guess it helps when your dad's the coach and can show you moves and are always watching him. It was so fun to watch him wrestle he loved getting all his medals. He thought it was the coolest thing!
My family all got together, even Ryan and Jess came down. We went to lunch, us girls, for my birthday,at 25 Main. Then later, we went and got the rest of the family and kids and just let all of them play together at the park and had Pizza for dinner. It was so fun just to sit around and relax with everyone It was such a fun birthday, spending it with my family!
Here are the kids getting ready to go trick-r-treating! Makayla wanted to be a butterfly, and Brielle was my little ladybug. Brielle hated to keep antennas on so I made her some ladybug bows!
Kesley wanted to be a witch, and Corben had to be a super hero, so he was Flash. They all had fun dressing up in there costumes!
Carving pumpkins, I got the smaller ones for the kids to paint their own faces on it!
I gave Brielle her first Haircut. We cut the back into a little bob. It was so long, and needed a trim to thicken it up.I was surprised at how still she sat. Probably from watching me cut hair all the time, she new you had to sit up in the big chair. I can't believe how fast she is growing up!!
I can't believe my boy is turning 6. I remember like it was yesterday when he was just born. We are so lucky to have Corben in our life and our Family. He brings so much joy and excitement to our family. He is such a great brother to his sisters, and the best helper ever!!!
Corben got a new transformer bike for his birthday! He loves it now because he can go faster! He can catch up to Kesley now on her bike.
Getting ready to open all of his presents!! So much fun!!
Eating some food, I made croissant chicken sandwiches! I love this picture of Marsha's cute belly!! She is finally actually showing now, I love it!!
Corben getting ready to blowout his candles. He requested for me to make him the Strawberry danish cake, and he wanted to put transformers on the top of it. It is funny when they get old enough to tell you exactly what they want. At least I didn't have to go all out frosting and decorating a cake like I usually do!! This was much easier!!
Thanks to everyone who helped make Corben's Birthday a special!! Happy 6th Birthday Corben, We love you Buddy!!
We went up to Mountain Green, which is by Morgan, and stayed with my brother Ryan and his wife Jessica. It was so beautiful there. You just walked right outside their backyard and its is the prettiest view, with the hills and the mountains. I loved it!
I did my neice Eden's hair for church. She was so good to sit still for me!
Brielle, Corben, and me getting a picture before we left!
All the cute cousins, getting ready to go for a walk!
We all went to the county fair. After we were done riding all the rides, Dean and Debra brought lunch and we sat in the shade and at it. My kids loved watching the little bears in their cage!
Kesley, Corben, and Bridger wanted to go on the bigger, faster rollercoaster. Makayla and Kaitlyn were to scared and just stuck with the smaller roller coaster, which was just their size!
Diggin for Dinosaur's!
Waiting in line for the Farris Wheel!
So Hot, but too much fun!
Brielle had fun watching all the rides and the people. She got to go on the Merry go round, which she absolutely LOVED!
Here are the kids on the first day of school! Kesley started 3rd grade and Corben started Kindergarten. Makayla starts her preschool in Sept. It will be weird to just have Brielle at home! What will I do with all my time?!
For Bretts birthday we all went to the Pizza Factory for dinner, then after we went to Dean and Debra's house to have cake and ice cream and opened his presents. Brett requested for me to make his favorite cake , chocolate sheet cake!
Brielle had so much fun playing with all the ballons. She had to play with each color.
Brett and the girls, sitting on daddy's lap!
Happy Birthday Brett, hope you had a great birthday! Thanks for all you do for us! We love you!
Yeah! My baby is walking. She is 14 months and is now walking. She is the latest of all my kids, she had been taking steps, but had no desire to walk. I think she was use to all of us picking her up all the time, she was loving it too much. But I am glad cause she is my baby and I don't want her to get big!
We went up to the cabin for Grandma Allred's 75th Birthday! We had a yummy dutch oven dinner, and hung out there at the cabin. Like always, Makayla loves to help open the presents. She is a good little helper!
Enjoying the nice cool weather!
The kids had fun decorating there own cupcakes!
My favorite part was picking peas! They were so yummy! I could eat all of them!I love there garden, its so beautiful and grows so much better up there!
Grandma and Grandpa Gifford's Grandkids, enjoying the hammock!
We took the kids up to Pine Valley and went fishing at the resovoir.
Kesley had fun watching and waiting for the fish!
Makayla liked climbing on the rocks and just playing in the dirt!
It was nice to cool off a few degrees, and it had even sprinkled on us!
Corben loved just waiting for the fish! 
We all went swimming at Steve's house for the fourth. The kids loved swimming with their cousins. Especially when it is so Hot!!
We made Navajo Tacos; we were all making and rolling the dough for the scones! Steve is the pro at cooking them.
