October in Colorado!

I had wanted to see "my" mountains while in Colorado this trip, but it rained and was cloudy the entire time we were there. My Dad said when the clouds cleared they were covered with snow! So next trip, I'll get to see them. Still it was beautiful with all the rain clouds, and the changing leaves. Something we don't get to see in AZ!

Logan & Ashlyn Mikkelson

Katie brought her kids over for a visit, so it was nice getting pictures of them also. We couldn't believe how cute Logan was/ he's got some fine twiddle legs now! Miss Ashlyn loved Mallorie and Kolby! We wish all the cousins could live closer!

Kolby, Mallorie & Storie

While in Colorado, we got the girls matching Dora nightgowns--which they loved--Storie says "Dor--da" Kolby got Star Wars pj's which light up when he moves! It was a great visit with the kids~ They all got along wonderfully, and enjoyed each other.

Mount Everest

October in Colorado

Ok--so I'm not going to Mount Everest, but isn't this a beautiful picture? Tomorrow I'm heading to Colorado, as is Misha and the twins! PaPa is really excited for us to come and visit him (or clean & cook! ha!) I'm ready for some cooler weather, and my mountains. It'll be great to see Misha and the kids! I'm not sure who will be going with me, either Kilee or Christtina--Not sure their husbands will let them go with me--I never promise I'll bring them back to AZ. Ha!! Kilee & Dustin will be having their 2 year anniversary on Monday, and for some reason he wants her home on Monday--! Can't figure out why! I'm really not sure I will want to come home that soon.

Trevor

Anabeth

Storie

New Pictures!

I took care of Miss Storie the other night while Kilee and Dusty went to the temple so these are some new ones of her. My favorite is of her holding her arms out for me--My favorite thing to see from any of my kids!
Trevor has to be chased to get his picture, I tried and tried to get more than one, but wasn't fast enough. He is all boy, crawls around on his hands and knees pushing cars, and making "boy sounds"~ Storie looks at him like he's crazy, there's no way she's getting down on her knees!!
Miss Anabeth's new brown blouse looks so cute on her. I love dark colors on babies. Also it looks like she's walking, but isn't really! I plan to knock her down if she tries~Ha! They just grow up too quickly.

ANABETH LAUREN

Taryn's kids

Taryn finally sent me some pictures of her kids!! They have grown so much! These were taken on a recent trip to Savannah. Emmie and our favorite Paula Deen--They ate at her place while there, and said it was wonderful! Curly Joe is with Richard and Leslie's son, Lane--He too has grown! Everyone thought this picture of Bailee was Taryn--and Karter reminds me of Phillip! I miss them!

Utah, Colorado, Idaho Trip

Kodi, Dane and Trenton fly home today! I will be having super depression for a few days! I hate when my kids leave! We had a wonderful trip~ the kids all got along wonderfully, and the girls had fun catching up and talking about the old days! The weather was perfect! Trenton had his birthday at Misha's. Their friend, Eric, made sushi and all kinds of good food, and brought it all in! He also had a chocolate fountain, which was a hit with everyone! One of Trenton's favorite foods is sushi!
We also did some shopping in Salt Lake City, and Idaho Falls which is always a hit! Everyone enjoyed Dane, who was the perfect traveler! It helped having Big Brother in the back giving him his binky when he fussed!
Kodi got to see PaPa and Steve and Judi while in Colorado! Judi made Dane a beautiful birthday blanket! We really didn't want to leave to come back to Hot AZ---I'm ready to go back to Colorado and spend a month watching the leaves turn, and fall off the trees!
Thank you Misha and Jeremy! Your home is the perfect place for everyone to get together! That huge basement is wonderful!!
