Family Fun!

FORTS were the BEST when we were kids! My kids love them too!

Finished project....simple, but fun!

White Trash Par-tay!

Me and my boyfriend Earl!!

Somebody showed up to the party in this! Talk about hard core!

Cody and I tied with this fabulous couple for best "white trash" costume.

Our spam pig was majorly disgusting. (One of the many fabulous games.)

The whole gang at the party!!

Thanks Heath for the party! Can't wait for next year!

CREATIVE pumpkin WINNERS!

We WON! Creative pumpkin award!! Since Cody's in the bug business, we thought this scorpion pumpkin was fitting.

Cody's mom has a party every year. This time we really got onto it!

Crew had his very own creation, and was very proud of it!

Our ward Trunker Treat was on Cody's B-day, so instead of decorating our trunk scary, we surprised Cody with a B-Day trunk. ( I made him pass out the candy so everyone could wish him a happy birthday!)

I was dying over this costume, especially the orange tights!! Denim was having fun too!

The tail was my favorite!

Probably the only time this dancer mom will get tights on her little boy. I was loving it!!

What cute BUNS!!

FOUR

Four is the BEST age for a party!! She was sooo excited! Happy Birthday Jersi!

Chucky Cheese it is!

Denim wasn't so sure about this hat business!

Super Surprise!

What a surprise!! Cody took me to Coronado Island for my birthday. I had no idea. I was shocked when he said, "Pack your bags, we are going for 4 days to California kidless." What?? I was slightly frantic. "Wait, what about my carpools, I have to teach dance, who is watching the kids?? Denim is teething!" He had it all ready, called all the carpools, canceled dance a week ago, and asked his mom to watch the kids. He had already packed them and they were in the car. Wow!! Was I impressed. I was seriously shocked for a long time, not really grasping the reality of what was about to happen!

We had a great time!!

Thanks honey for a wonderful surprise!! Your the best husband in the whole world!!

She loves it!

Jersi was soooo excited to start preschool, especially since big brother was already in school!

When I gave her her backpack, she asked me where her lunch box was. I had to inform her that she would be coming home for lunch. Sorry babe!

She is such a poser. I don't even tell her to pose, and she throws out these funny little poses.

We are so excited you're in preschool with Grandma Hatch. What a lucky girl!!

Christie's 60....

SURPRISE!!! Christie's 60! My mother-in-law turned 60 this year, so we just had to throw her a BIG BIRTHDAY BASH! We had it in an airplane hanger, so they just drove right into the party!

She had no idea!

These were all the lovely guests waiting for her!

Angie was practicing her big SURPRISE moment!

She couldn't believe we pulled it off!

She even catered her own party, without knowing it! We were pretty sneaky!

Not a party without the chocolate fountain!

Fun decor.....

....even funner glasses! (Not really a word, but fun!)

We sat our Queen Christie on her throne, boa and all, to pay her a tribute! We shared stories from family and friends...

...did a little song and dance all about her.....

...and showed a picture slideshow of her growing up!! She couldn't believe it!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful mother-in-law. We love you and appreciate all you do for all of our families!
