Dacodas Birthday!

We just celebrated Dacodas 11th Birthday on November 25th. Our plans were to go ice skating but it quickly changed when we were caught in a big snow storm. We didnt want to travel with all his friends to Salt Lake so we went to the bowling alley here in Tooele instead. The boys had alot of fun and I think Dacoda enjoyed it too. Happy Birthday Bud!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of our family, although me and Russ spent it at home for the first time with his dad.. we still got to spend time with both of our families over that whole weeks time, We went to see my crippled up mom (J/K) the day before and took them a yummy breakfast burrito from virg's and hung out with them, we had a great time and I wish my mom well, and hope she gets better soon after her feet surgery, she's about to lose her mind!!! we just love the holidays if you havent noticed and spending time with all our family and friends. So we wish you all a happy and safe holiday season!!!

OUCH!!

It Sucked for Oakley because a month or so ago he got into his first skateboarding accident and broke his front teeth..... after a couple dentist visits we thought we had it under control until it got abcessed, OUCH!!! He was in alot of pain and there was alot of swelling and of course it happened over the weekend when there wasnt a dentist available. What a crazy Thanksgiving week!!!

Visit with Dad

So my dad and Donna came for a visit over the Thanksgiving week and enjoyed the time with them, We sent them on a date to wendover in my new Mustang (that's right my new car) that Russ bought me for my Birthday, I'll post some pics of it. But We all had a good time and always make the most of our time together!!

Camera fun!

Okay, so we found this cool place to take lots of different kind of pics so went out for a couple hours today and had fun with the camera. It's an old power plant here in Tooele and there was old rustic houses and lots of old buildings with lots of graffitti (which is good for my kids since they look like gansta's most the time.) My kids thought it wad a park we couldn't get them to cooperate with us, but the pics turned out so cute!!! Check them out!!

Happy Halloween!!

So Halloween is here and we had a good time, Kimber of course didnt go trick or treating this year but she spent the whole month of October volunteering at the Haunted Hospital (The old Tooele Hospital, which is really haunted is what they say) CREEPY!!. She loved it!! My boys and a friend are all in costume and in fact went out trick or treating, they didnt get far before they ran out of gas so that was good for us, it was actually quite a relaxing night!! I just love the Fall and the upcoming holidays, I love being with my family and friends and planning parties and activities. I love it!!! So watch out, you might get invited to some holiday party or we may drop in unexpected to say hi or bring by a treat. So be ready!! Well, I hope you all had a Happy and safe Halloween, cant wait to see all the other blogs and what everyone dressed up to be. Yippee!!

Happy Halloween!!!

If you havent tried the Pankratz Pumpkin Patch, this is something you'd really enjoy as a family for a Halloween activity!! As soon as we arrived the kids scattered to look for that perfect pumpkin, they loved every minute of it!!! When they were done hunting, the tractor came and picked us up with all our pumpkins to haul us back to the gate and it was a great time!! If anyone would like to go, give me a call it was so much fun I'd do it again!!!

Here's our family looking for the best pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. This is a family tradition we would like to do every year, Thanks Jodi and Nikki for bringing your kids and making it all so fun! ( Sorry you couldnt come Trina, we missed ya!) The kids always enjoy hanging out with their cousins. Thanks Pankratz for a fun family activity!! You Rock!!
