Boating in October!!

For Fall Break we again headed to Lake Mead! We had awesome weather all of the days we were there. The water was smooth the first day but the other days it wasn't as great. We all had a great time. The kids enjoyed wake boarding, knee boarding and riding in the tube. Troy did his usual of wake boarding and also got to try some surfing behind Darin's boat. I wake boarded and skied. We all got in our last runs Saturday and then headed to Tylyn's to help with Trager's homecoming lunch. On Sunday we went to Trager's homecoming and then to Tylyn's for lunch. Trager gave a great talk and has really grown so much spiritually. Thanks Trager for the example you have been to our family!

Grandma holding Tennley and Tessa.Tegan and Taigely had a lot of fun skipping rocks and exploring on the beach.Talon's favorite thing to do when we go boating is to find big rocks and throw them into the water to see the big splash. Troy and Talon taking a break on the boat.Tennley and Tacoma playing in the sand. They made a river in the sand that emptied into the lake.Talon and Tennley in the "pink" tube.Taige and Tegan hanging out on the beach.This is what we do best on the beach. Eat our lunches and snack all day long. It really was a great boating trip. I am sad to see the warm weather end and know that it is time to put the boat away for the season. The kids however are looking forward to the snow so they can get up in the mountains to ski and snowboard.

Halloween Party

We got together with my family for our annual Halloween Party. We decided to try out a corn maze this year. We headed off to Hee Haw Farms. It was a great place to go for the kids. The lines weren't long and the corn maze was a lot of fun. Tacoma and Taige went off by themselves with some of there other cousins and had a blast. Talon especially loved the big slide and wanted to go again and again and again. After all the fun at Hee Haws we went back to my parents house for the Halloween Party. The kids got to put their costumes on and do some trick-or-treating. It was a lot of fun. The kids really look forward to this party every year. Thanks mom and dad for letting us come to your house and for all of the yummy treats and soups! Oh and congrats to all of my sisters!!!

This is the big slide that they all loved to slide down.
Talon wanted me to go with him the first time then he could do it all by himself the next time.
This is a trick-or-treat hay wagon ride. We rode around in a wagon and some characters like Cinderella, Darth Vator and Spider man threw candy to us.
