Girls night!!!

Us wild and crazy gals usually try and get together every now and then for a girls night out! We have lots of laughs and lots of fun!! It was my aunt Michelle's birthday so we decided that was a great reason for dinner and a movie! We went and seen You Again, it's a good one! We also seen previews for Life As We Know It, coming out on Oct. 8th...it looks so good and yet another fabulous reason for a girls night out! Wahoo!
We ate at Red Robin then stopped at Wally World on our way home. We got home way past my curfew but I wasn't in too much trouble! Us gals know how to have a good time!!

Big pile!

McKall and Wyatt love to make these big piles and jump off McKall's bed onto it! They find anything and everything that is soft and put it in a big pile and they jump together and say 1...2...3 GO!! Thanks Preston for showing them this fun game...the only bad thing is cleaning the pile up, it's a pain in the rear especially when they take McKall and Wyatt's bedding off! They love it and I wont say anything else to jinks ourselves (broken bones....shhhhh!)

McKall was super excited she got a free lunch pack with the dvd and has not put it down since she opened it! If you have not seen these movies they are super cute for the entire family and ones that you could watch over and over and never get sick of. So for now we play the waiting game till the next one comes out...CANT WAIT!

One of these days when we get ourselves some 4-wheelers we are going to plan a geocaching trip! For now we will hike to the ones that are not too far off the road. The first time we went we didn't do so well but we have slowly become better and better! We have decided to make it our "family night thing," well atleast until the weather gets bad. This last time we went I got some fun pictures...although Wyatt fell asleep, dang it :( YAY for geocaching and a big thanks to Ferrin for telling us about it...your the BEST Fern!

The Apple Academy 2010-2011

Today was the big day for our little miss Mckall! She started school and was very excited! She has been waiting for this day for quite some time now! Especially since we went to "meet the teacher!" This is her second year and she goes 3 days a week....soooo she is going to have HOMEWORK. She has asked and asked when she can do her homework, or she would say "mom I need to do my homework right now!" She just thinks it's going to be the neatest thing ever! Chandler made her a "homework sheet" and she couldn't have been happier! I hope when she is older and reading this, she will still feel the same about homework! HA HA!! Mrs. Blackett is an amazing teacher and McKall just thinks the world of her! She is going to have a FUN year! I just cant wrap my head around the fact that she will be going to kindergarten next year...where has the time gone?!? Yeah for my sweet girl...you are growing up so fast. Dad and I love you and are so very proud of you!

Football season has arrived!

I use to not like football (wow that sounds really hickish, "usetonot") but when there is someone you know playing on the team...IT'S AWESOME!!! We LOVE watching my cousin Riley play. He's the kicker for BYU and he's pretty SWEET!! He holds the high school record here in Utah for the most PAT's and just this week, he was named player of the week and recieved Special Teams recognition by Mountain West Conference!!! Can he get a woot woot!
We usually have little shindigs at our house on game days! I made yummy taco soup and we all watched a good game! Riley had some pretty awesome punts, one of them going out at the 1 yard line and another going out at the 2 yard line. He is such a good guy and the kids just love him! We just think he's the coolest! GO COUGARS and GO RILEY #99!!!

Sunny St. George..

My sweet hubby took me to St. George for my birthday...it was a much needed, fabulous trip! When we got there Friday we did some school/winter clothes shopping for the kids. We ate with our friends Sami, Justin and their 2 adorable kids, at Iggy's! Then we went back to our hotel to do a little swimming and hotubing!

Saturday, of course more shopping...Chandler was so thrilled! HA HA! Then we ventured over to see the Temple. The St. George temple is one of my favorites. I told Chandler, next time we are going inside. It's so white and just beautiful to look at! I love it! We went and ate at my fav...Olive Garden and then off to the Tuacahn. We seriously had a BLAST! My family went when I was lots younger to "Utah" and it was really good, so I was pretty excited. This was Chandler's first time and we seen "Crazy for You"...I was nervous he was not going to like it but he loved it and said, "I wouldn't mind seeing that again!" The other show they have playing now is "Tarzan." Everyone says that one is awesome too! We are going to purchase tickets for "Grease," coming next year! Ohhhh baby I so cant wait! If you have not been to the Tuacahn..it's a MUST!! I dont think they have one bad show there! Talk about a good ol' time!

We were so excited to see the kids! Thanks so much Rachel Meggan for watching them for us! A BIG SHOUT OUT to my mom and dad for helping with them to and also watching them everyday! I cant tell them THANKS enough for all they do for us...the kids adore them! I love you guys so much!! YOUR SIMPLY THE BEST!! :)
