New

We have all started some new activities, and here they are:
Julia and Cecilia have started going to a cheerleading class. Julia has really loved it!

Cecilia is practicing her cheer!

They have really enjoyed being able to go together.

I took these pictures at their Halloween day.

The girls ended up with quite the haul!

I have recently been called to be in Young Women's. This is a picture documenting one of our recent activities it involved a lot of pudding and whipped cream!

Benson loved trying out a new sport this Fall....flag football!

Get ready Benson!

Benson's coach is giving the team instructions.

The girls had so much fun going to Benson's football games. The park was right next to the field, and so they were able to play with their friends during the games.

My sweet girls!

For My Number 1 Blog Fan!

I was talking to my sister Kelly the other day, and she mentioned to me that she checks my blog everyday! I thought that it was so neat that I decided to dedicate a whole post to her. I looked through my pictures and found some that had her in them from the past year and compiled them in this post:

They just finished an intense ride together at Lagoon.

They have a thumbs up because they survived the ride!

I think this is the ride that they had just survived!

Waiting in line as a family for a ride.

At our camping trip my girls and Kelly made a funny face for a picture!

A cute bunch of smiles.

Cecilia and Kelly at the campfire.

Cecilia is so dirty!!!

Kelly and her puppy Attila at our family camp out earlier this year. Kelly and sweet Attila at Lake Powell when we drove down there in February to visit her family.

This is another picture that we had taken when we visited her. Her husband had to work, and so he is not in these pictures.

This was so precious!

I noticed a trend throughout most of my pictures of Kelly. She was almost always being Cecilia's buddy! I am so thankful for all of my family and friends. It was very fun to pick on one in particular! I love you Kelly! Thank you for being my number 1 blog fan!!!

Everyday Occurences?

I titled my post Everyday Occurrences, but really some days are not so everyday!

The other day Ben was looking out the window and noticed the horse drawn carriage. I happened to have my camera nearby and took a picture. It was an awesome carriage!

We had a visitor to our house on Monday......well not so much a visitor as an intruder! It was hiding under our front porch.

My friend noticed it running under the porch and the kids had so much fun watching it. I don't think that I have ever looked under my front porch until that day! How yucky!

This pumpkins was sitting on by the front porch and I guess it decided it wanted a snack!

Early Saturday morning our Ward had their annual church clean up activity. Our family was in charge of cleaning half of the buildings plastic chairs. They kids had a lot of fun helping out!
Later in the day we did house and yard work. While Benson and Ben were at work on the bushes the girls were enjoying some time together on the swing. I walked over and they said, "Hey Mom! Take our picture! We are going to pretend that we are asleep!"
At least once a year we trim our bushes. It is usually in the Fall. It ends up being a huge truck load of branches.

Benson helped Ben load up all of the branches and take them to the dump. Thanks Benson! What a good help he is!

Benson, Julia and our neighbor walked in from outside carrying Cecilia wrapped up in a blanket. I said, "Wow! Is she a burrito or something?" They replied, "No, Mom! She is a little baby! You should take her picture!"
