5th day to 10th day of Fall Break

We played all of break...with the exception of a few sick kids (Conner/Cole). The weather was gorgeous we rode bikes, went to parks, jumped on the trampoline, played with friends, took Marley on walks, had cousins over and had a lot of late nights. Lindsey, Conner and Erik hit a Queen Creek High football game. Not sure I would count this as fun, but we all went to the dentist. We caught up on some good movies and enjoyed being together! I love my family! Kids back in school and mom trying to catch up on some projects and putting the house back together. Oh and Cole is sick again throwing up, ugh!

Fall Break...5th Day

Cole's preschool LIFE had a field trip to Schneif Farms. Adults $5 and children $6 what a smoken deal Carly, Cole and I had a great time.

Carousel rides...fun!

Carly loves to be on the go and join any outing!

They had a maze where the kids rode these bikes around.

They climbed through this really creative wooden train.

We each got to pick a pumpkin...Cole wasn't sure which one to choose!

Carly, how does this one look?

We rode on the roller coaster...I just knew we were going to fall. It was really scary to me...Cole hated it!

The swings...Cole could have ridden these a million times!

Wow...airplanes, who needs Disneyland???

We had a great time the weather was gorgeous!

On the 4th day of fall break we went to the zoooooo!

The Phoenix Zoo rocks. We love to visit there. Cole was so much easier this time and enjoyed playing and interacting with everyone.

The Edwards met us there, fun! On the left, Dallin, Sadie, Carly, Jase, Conner and somewhere is Lindsey and Cole!

Erik caught a TURTLE...I was so worried we were going to get kicked out! The boys thought it was so cool.

Dallin wanted a turn to hold it! I love to watch the turtles swim and climb up on the rocks!

Sadie and Carly...they are both so GIRLY!

Now everyone was trying to catch a turtle!

Jase got to come with us that was fun! He was into the Zoo Map big time!

Sadie loves Lindsey! It was so fun to have our whole family together. Glad Erik had the week off and we were able to do some fun things!

Carly...only 7 for a few more months she is growing up way to fast!

Can I leave these a-n-i-m-a-l-s at the ZOO?

BROTHERS...they love to be together. Conner loves to play with Cole and Cole thinks the world of him!

Second Day of Fall Break....

Tuesday, October 6

Second Day of Fall Break

10:00-11:00 piano lessons

While kiddos were in piano Erik, Cole and I ran to Wal-mart to buy a few groceries.

11:00-12:00 we all took Lindsey to Tilly's to buy a purse.

Lunch- Taco Bell (no drinks, mom being super cheap)

1:00-6:00 Lopez girls came to play

(Boy did we play, outside the whole afternoon. Bike riding, house making -under the trampoline, umbrellas out, chalk, scooters, lots of walking Marley, I gave bike rides around and around the cul-de-sac, and ended the night with a pizza picnic dinner. What a fun day! The weather was great and the company GREAT!

Kylee started out really nervous about Marley, but ended up loving him and wanted lots to do with him. She was great at giving him toys and taking him for several walks.

Lindsey, what can I say you are such a "beast," she loves to call herself that. She hung with us all day. It was fun to have her around.

The excitement of the day was Erik's car had to be towed. It broke down and he tried to fix it, but no luck. Luckily it wasn't to bad of a bill, it is now running and good to go!

The kids were totally amazed at how the man got the car on his truck!

Thank heavens Gramers and Papa have a few extra cars, so we were able to borrow one until Erik's car ran again. Thanks so much!

6:45-9:00 Off to the church

Lindsey went to mutual and I worked on September's Visiting Teaching report in the clerks office.

9:00 All kids in bed and mom right behind them.

We miss the Romney's when are you coming back?

(Sienna, Ramie, Brynn, Whitney, Kylee, Carly, Conner, Tanner, Crew, Cole)

LaSchelle and her kids came for a quick trip in August before school started. Yes to see us and to meet new little Colt Larsen (Lance & Heather's #3). We hung out lots and all made a trip to the $1 movies (split up seeing 3 different movies, Hannah Montana, Night of the Museum 2 and Monsters vs. Aliens). We ladies ran away one night and saw The Proposal. Come again soon we all miss you.
