Pretty Little Princess!

Today was Brynlee's preschool Halloween Party! So they all got to dress up in their costumes for school. Brynlee was so excited!! But due to the terrible weather, I made her wear a pink shirt underneath her costume, and she was NOT happy about that!! I don't really blame her because it doesnt look as cute! :) They were also planning on doing a trunk or treat for the little preschoolers, but again since it was snowing, we just done it indoors, but the kids still had fun!
The pictures are all backwards, and Ididnt want to fix them! :) so....
here is a picture of Brynlee and one of her best friends, Ally.
Two princesses......Belle and Ariel

It really was a great play and all the students that were in the play did a super job! way to go Brax! we are so proud of you and love you very much!!

Porter got BAPTIZED!!! yeah, this was awhile ago, but anyways, I feel HORRIBLE I didnt take any pictures but this ONE! can you say "MOTHER OF THE YEAR" award?!?! I know, I know, awful. I do feel awful! I had my camera with me, and had EVERY intention on taking pics, but I simply forgot! But besides that, We are sooo proud of Porter and couldn't be happier for him in choosing to be baptized and become a memeber of the church! We love you bud!

Desert Big Horn Sheep Hunt.....

a couple of weeks ago, Josh went hunting Desert Bighorn Sheep, with Reggie, John, & Josey. they went for 4 days and packed in. Josh's pack weighed 55 lbs. They hiked lots and lots of miles! It was about 95 degrees during the day, with no shade, so it was a pretty hot hunt. But they had lots of fun, and had a great time!
This is how they slept the first night.....


this is how they slept the other nights..... (I would have stuck with the tent! )


John, Josh, & Josey

This is what happens when you hike for a long time! :)

PoRteR's bApTisM piCs...

I took Porter to get his pictures taken for his Baptism pictures last week. He chose the places that he wanted to get them at. so we drove around and took the pics.He had a fun time deciding where he wanted to go, and I had fun taking them! I can't believe he is already 8 and is getting baptized! where does the time go?! he is getting baptized this Saturday and he couldn't be more excited! Good Luck Porter and we are so proud of you for making this decision! We love you!!
