Happy Halloween!

 In honor of Halloween tomorrow, I tortured my children with a little mini photo shoot.  I LOVE their costumes this year! 

 

 First, there is my sweet little tree frog.  I love him! 

 

 Avery is Doc McStuffins.  It is kind of a new Disney cartoon and Avery's FAVORITE show.  Here is a picture if you haven't seen her. 
 Avery was a little upset that her hair wasn't black, but I thought we did a pretty good job putting her costume together since there wasn't one you could buy. 

 Then, there is my beautiful and sassy Merida.  From the Disney movie Brave.  I LOVE her wig!  It is her 3rd year in a row sporting a wig.  She loves to dress up.  I must say that Rylee has a personality kind of similar to Merida so I think it was a good costume choice for her. 

 

 She HAD to show off those shoes.  They are kind of hard to see...

 And my Lloyd ZX.  He's from Ninjago.  And his dad is pretty much amazing and made this WHOLE costume!  I showed him a link online of a similar one and asked him if he thought he could do something similar since all the Green Ninja costumes were SOLD OUT.  Unless you wanted to pay $100 on ebay.  He went above and beyond and made a costume even better than the one I found.  And I think he actually liked doing it, though I don't know if he would admit it.  And Logan was THRILLED with it!  He just can't walk too well.  We went to the Pumpkin Walk the other night and when he stepped up onto the curb, he toppled right over.  Poor kid!  It did look pretty funny though.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!  

Seven Peaks

June 22 - Darren's brother, Curt, lives in Texas and we really miss him and his family.  Rylee and Raegan are especially close little buddies and love spending time together and we hate that they live so far away.  They came into town this summer for a whole month for the wedding, so we bought the pass of all passes so that we could go to 7 peaks (aka the old Raging Waters in Salt Lake...)  while they were in town.  We had such a fun day there!  The kids LOVED the water park and played in the play land area all day.  Daddy and Uncle Curt even got to go down a few slides.  And mommy and Aunt Carla had a great time chatting in the shade. 

Here they are all ready to swim! 

A couple other cousins came, too.  Kim also had the pass and was going to join us, but Katey got sick.  But Grandma came and brought Hayden and Mason.  Mason and Logan are best buddies so it was great news for Logan! 

My sweet little Bronson.  He spent the day hanging out in the shade with me and Aunt Carla.

Rylee and Raegan taking a little break.  They are such cute little friends! 

Cute cousins  - Hayden, Mason, Logan, Rylee and Avery.  I think was before Raegan got there.

Bronson just hanging out in the shade - He was loving a chance to just lay and get out some wiggles

Rylee loved sitting in the tube like this while she was taking a break from her swimming

The shark on Bronson's bum....  Love baby bums! 

Rylee and Raegan in the double tube.  Poor Rae had a rough ride down one of the slides.

More Baby Bronson...

The kiddie pool at 7 Peaks was so much fun for the kids!  The girls spent all day there running around and going down the little slides.  I love this picture of Avery! 

Raegan and Rylee went down this little slide over and over.  Rylee would SCREAM so loud!  She has one of those screams that is hard to mistake.  I knew it was her from clear across the water park! 

Logan ventured into the bigger pool and even attempted the rope swing!  It was hilarious to watch him up there thinking about it for so long, but he finally went.  He also really liked this "volcano" slide.  He also got me to take him to the Lazy River, but he kept floating away from me and it would take me forever to find him again since the river just keeps flowing...

He's got some style! 

Daddy and Bronson doing some bonding

The girls liked that they had matching coverups. 

Angel baby sleeping again. 

This trip was shortly after all the controversy over a mom getting kicked out of this water park for breast feeding her baby, so I was a little worried about what I would do with Bronson.  Lucky for me, no one seemed to mind. 

Cute little Cameron! 

We had such a fun day!  We love spending time with our cousins.  Boy, do we miss these guys!!!  We weren't sure if we would like Seven Peaks (Raging Waters...) with the kids, but they had so much fun that we planned to go back again another day in the summer.  Sadly, our summer ran out before we could make it back there, but we will definitely try and make it back next year.
