Monday night we went to Thriller at Tuacan (however you spell it). Sadi hooked us up with sweet tickets. We had never seen it, and it was a blast! It made me more sad than ever that I didn't take dance! All the numbers were great, I would still like to know how the skeletons did their moves!

Halloween Store

Ok, so we went to this Halloween store in SLC. We decided that we had better get Skye used to all of the scary things that come with Halloween. We were surprised, usually she is a real wuss, but she actually did really well. She was scared of these babies, as would be the case for any 'normal' human being. When we told her they were just babies, and fake, she was fine! I think that it subconciously traumatized her though, because at least once a day she says "I hold 2 babies mom! Just fate! (fake)

I can't believe she is really kissing this alien head! Check out what Sadi found in the meat department! They had all kinds of body parts on styrofoam plates wrapped like they were straight from the butcher! Wow, it was so creepy! We had a blast though, and I think Skye is a little more prepared for Halloween.

FRIGHTMARES!!!

Last weekend we went up to Lagoon because I've never been there during frightmares. We thought Skye would be really scared, but she loved it. Of course it helps that Robbie won her several big stuffed animals. We were debating whether to go or not because it was stormy, but I lost. I am really glad we went, because although it was cold, there was no one there! Almost every ride we went on, we could have gone again and again. I never knew how big and cute the kids area was till we took Skye. They have so many darling rides for kids. Skye couldn't figure out how to make all of the rides go up and down, so she just rode in circles. Next year. Her favorite rides were the dragon rollercoaster, and the boats. We went to the haunted houses too. They were pretty good. I am glad we didn't take Skye, because Robbie wouldn't even stay with me! We had a blast and it didn't start raining/snowing till we were ready to leave at about 6pm. What a blast!

As I Was Saying...

Ok, so I was doing my last post and Skye was being really good. She was right behind me, so I knew she wasn't doing anything real terrible. I thought wow, she's being really good, I wonder what she's doing. I looked back, and she had a pen. She didn't have any paper or anything, so I just took the pen away. Then she said "Sorry Mom" and I saw it!

Skye's 2nd favorite pastime! (second only to coloring with markers)

Skye loves to color period. She loves to use lots of colors and make a real mess. She is so cute, as much as she loves it, she doesn't love to do it alone. She loves playing with her cousin Ryan.

What if...

After seeing this photo, I am really glad that I have a husband that likes to workout! Currently Robbie is training to play for St. George's Football team. He has recently gotten into cycling. Last Saturday, when my family was here, the boys rode from our house in Hurricane to the condo in Green Valley! 35 miles! Hopefully this picture will keep him motivated! :) Right now he's probably wondering where my motivation is!

Skye "painted" her own nails

I made the mistake of leaving Skye to "write" to Uncle Colby. When I came back I found that she had "painted" her own fingernails. She really used the pen to color her nails. I guess I should be proactive and paint them for her!

Skye's New "Hat"

I saw this wig and thought it would be fun. When I got home, I thought it would be fun to try it on Skye. I've always wondered what she would look like with hair :) Turns out, she loved it! She keeps it on for 30 minutes at a time, just wandering around the house. It is hillarious, she calls it her "hat"

My "Tuff" Husband

We went to the Peach Days Rodeo this year, and our friends that are in charge of it, talked Robbie into riding a bull! No, he has never before ridden one, but I think that after this, he might make it a yearly tradition. He really thought it was fun. Once it was over, he was wishing he had another shot at it. I guess this is what happens when you live in Hurricane!


So far so good out of the gate!

He actually looks like a real bull rider!
Oh gosh, this is where it gets ugly!

Nature Lover

Skye just loved the whole time at the ranch because she loves being outside. No matter what she's doing, from playing in the rocks, playing in the sand, or just running around. She is so much fun!

THE TREE SWING!!!

Our family has a secret tree swing at the ranch! Shhhhh don't tell anyone! The boys spent all day Saturday putting it on this branch of a tree that is 50 ft. high. Who knows how they got it up there, but it is awesome! You stand on this ledge, and have to jump off the ledge to get up onto the swing. It is freaky! So you jump out off the ledge, and go over this small stream. You are seriously, no exaggeration, 15-20 ft. off the ground when the swing isn't moving! It was such a blast!!!

Four-Wheeling to the Indian Writings

On our property we have some sweet Indian writings carved on a rock and they are totally authentic! We took ride out there to check them out. Skye was out after 5 minutes of this ride. She did wake up when we got there though!

Robbie, Carly, and Shae

She woke up when we got there and enjoyed the rest of the ride back!

Terry Family Reunion at the Ranch!

Every year we go to the Terry Ranch the weekend after the 24th to have our family reunion. We had so much fun hangin out with all the fam. Skye was loving this swing at Uncle Ron's trailer, it is just her size...until she fell off of it.



We had so much fun just sitting around visiting with everyone!

We went out and shot glass bottles. Robbie looked the best while doing it, but I hit the most targets!

24th Fun!

We thought it would be fun to take our kids to the park to check out all the booths, and participate it the foot races. Aparently my bribe wasn't good enough, because Skye never even crossed the starting line! We had a lot of fun taking them fishing, getting snow cones, and playing on the playground.

Bubbles and Giggles

Skye's favorite thing to do is take a bath in our bath tub with lots of bubbles! Most of the time she makes a huge mess, but all the laughing makes the clean-up worth while.

So many bubbles so little time!

Island Park Day 1

Yellowstone National Park


Stopping to have a drink at this natural drinking fountain


We paid extra for this show!

Bear World

I'm not sure who's having the most fun on this ride!

Fish Farm Snake

Robbie gave Skye the snake and told her to give it to her mom! You notice there are no pictures of me holding it! The snake is seriously wrapped around her wrist!
Skye is throwing the snake back into the water

Sand Castles or Just Sand?

First Things First Mom!!!

All This Work is Really Making Me Hungry!

We live about 5 minutes away from Sand Hollow Reservoir. Skye and I went there intending to swim, but Skye thought it was too cold. She ended up just playing in the sand. Geez, the camera really does add 10 pounds...no, Skye is just that chubby!

All things Girly

Skye is definately a girl. She has to get her shoes and bow on first thing in the morning. She has also started saying "purse" too. She loves jewlery whether it's hers or yours!
