Eventful Saturday!!

Last Saturday we did so much and had so much fun that the kids are bored now to just be home playing with their toys.

We started the day off by attending the Sheep Parade. Yes there were sheep camps and actual sheep parading down main street in Cedar City. For those of you who don't know, Cedar is the "Festival City" so we have festivals for everything. This festival just happened to be the Livestock and Heritage Festival (or something like that). Needless to say the kids thought it was pretty fun and instead of throwing candy they threw wool (SICK)! But right by where we were on the parade route was some beautiful leaves so we had to get a photo. It was landscaped by Blake's Dad, and yes Brock is a vampire!


Then we were off to the Pumkin Patch to pick a GREAT PUMPKIN!! The boys were so anxious and it was fun! There is a small pumkin patch in Paragonah where you can go pick them and pay by the lb. I think we got some decent ones, but the pickins were slim. Next year we will have to get out there a little bit earlier.





Once we got home we had to dress up and head off to Grandma and Grandpa's for a Halloween Party! We ate and visited while the kids played games! I am still hearing at least 5 times a day about how much fun it was! Blake's Mom had so many FUN games for the kids. They did a cake walk, a fish pond, a pinata, shot cans with a rubberband gun, and even did some crafts! Needless to say they had a blast!! Everyone's costumes were so cute! Isn't Halloween F U N! Thanks Dana and Lorie!

Dax the Monster and MaKelle the Kitty Cat!


Brian and Meg the Zookeepers and a crying Gavin as a baby monkey!


Travis, Nicole and Braxton as the 3 bears!


Blake a War Hero and our pretty Kitty!


Lorie as Little Red Riding Hood, Aunty Anne as the Grandma, and Lamont as the Wolf!


Superman Corbin whacking at the mummy pinata Brianna made!


Spider Man Brock taking his turn. He was old enough to wear the blindfold but didn't think it was as fun. Brianna is the beautiful Prom Queen!
I was a California Raisin but it was not a picture worthy costume! I wish I had gotten more pictures of everyone else cuz all the costumes were so creative!

Lastly we loaded up once more and headed to St. George for my niece Kali's Birthday Party! She had a fairy party (Brock and Corbin didn't seem to mind after all it was a Birthday Party and there were games and cupcakes)! They had a treasure hunt and played outside and ate pizza and opened presents, oh it was a good time! She was a cute fairy and so was my sis Emily! She's the hot fairy in the pics! Love ya Em!




Even blogging about that day makes me tired, but I'm smiling:)

Cute pictures- lots of parties and fun times with family! Doesn't get any better than that. Did your parents move up by SLC? Didn't they used to live in St. George? How's your sis Sara? Happy Halloween!!

It looks like you had a great and full Sat. the party looks like it was so fun. Lorie called and invited us, but Raelee's kids were playing soccer all day.... that's our Sat. full of soccer games. That is such a great thing, wish we could have been there.
We are going to miss the blessings too:( Our meeting time has changed... I know, just since you guy's blessed your babies, but they put in a new Bishopric, and added a Spanish Branch to our building. I guess they decided they would make the changes now, and not at the first of the year. I will be thinking about you guy's on Sunday. (I haven't seen the 3 new ones, and the twins are getting so big:( I think we are still planning on Dec. for the "DeMIlle Gathering" and I think it will be in Cedar, when Steve and Kim are here with the babies.... I don't think Randi will be able to come, unless it is the week of Christmas. I will call Debbie and see when she is planning it... we will let you know SoOn!!! Keep up the good work on keeping the blog updated!! I am impressed, I can't keep mine updated, and then I look at yours and ask myself... WHY???? you are a busy, cute mom!!
Love you guy's!
