Neighborhood Carnival

Our old neighborhood puts on a parade and carnival every year.  

We went, even though we don't live there anymore....

call it rights of the Primary President or something...

(It's so hard to be part of a ward you don't live in anymore)

Sweet little Ariel was so excited to go. 

 And our very tough 49er was chopping at the mouth guard to get there. 

 And our little cowgirl was rowdy as ever!

 Ariel's face says it all.  "Why are pictures so painful?"

The carnival had to be moved to the church because of the insane wind that day, but it was still so fun!

They each got a loot bag and punch card for the 22 games. 

Ivy was terrified of all the scary people.  But she finally started to smile once she got some candy in that bag!

 The games were so cute.  And blindfolded Ariel made me laugh so hard!

 I tried so hard the whole night to get a cute picture of all three at the carnival, but Ivy WOULD NOT take her eyes off the scary people.  She would NEVER look at me!

One last attempt.  Apparently the loot bag was way more exciting.

While we were at the carnival, Daddy was driving home from Utah, puking his guts out.  

What a night!

Conference Drive

We went on a little drive Conference Sunday, since at the house we couldn't hear a word of it between the girls fighting and Jack freaking out about his BINGO card getting moved. 

We found the prettiest area and pulled over for some family pics. 

I sat the camera on the tripod and we let her rip!

This one would have been so cute if Ivy had been looking,

This one would have been great if it wasn't blurry!

This one is cute too, but again, blurry!

Kind of wishing I had done Brooke's hair, but they are still cuties. 

 

This one turned out the best.  Everyone looking, smiling, and not blurry.

I love this one too, but come on Jack, is it really THAT bad!

 These two couldn't have been cuter

 And these two are pretty cute too if I do say so myself!

I'm just glad we got at least one cute family photo. 

And it was FREE!

Remember that time we were all sick!

It all started with Ivy

She only puked twice.

Then Brooke fell victim

Her aches were the worst.

The Mom died.

And the house fell apart whilst I died on the couch. 

I did enjoy Jack reading to us.

 Jack was next.  His seemed to be the easiest. After 7 hours of puking was over for him, he felt fine. 

And just laid around enjoying the sick lavish lifestyle. 

Then 1 week later, it hid Daddy.

I don't have any pictures of him though, I locked him in a bedroom as I had a birthday party going on!!

Hopefully it is all over now!

Clown Day

This little cutie is so stinking cute.

I have a hard time not taking a picture of her every single day before school. 

But at at least I had an excuse on Clown Day!

Cutest little clown in town!

Squealers

A few Saturdays ago, we took the kids to "Squealers", formally the Riot Zone here in Rigby. 

Jack has been begging all Summer, and we finally fit it into our schedule. 

We couldn't believe Brooke was able to drive that go cart all by herself and didn't crash once!

It was old new to Jack

It was soooooo windy!

I'll give ya one guess who won this duel!

 Then we waited in line forever for the big momma go carts

Both my boys on the climbing wall

Love this picture of the kids playing golf

When the day was done, we walked a little bit through the corn maze, even though it wasn't open yet. 

It was gorgeous.

I was dying to get a family picture up there....but SOMEBODY wouldn't let me go find a person to take the picture.....VINCE!

Fun day for sure!
