Remember me?

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot...anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you!And yes I will be checking this about every 5 minutes to see if there are any comments.

The ghost of Halloween past

I tried to find a picture of us our first Halloween without kids. We were Batman and Batgirl. Matt would have killed me, I thought he looked great in the tights!! However, I did find one of Dr. Phil. Matt is such a great Dad, he makes every holiday fun.


I love old Halloween pictures! This is Jennifer, Matt, and Cory. Here they are with with Linda too. So cute!! Happy Halloween!
Here are some pics from last year. Matt won the best costume at our ward party. Coby hated the fake hair he put on. It was a fun year.

Halloween party time!!



Ever since my kids were little, Grandma Stone has put on an awesome Halloween party. Some years are cold, some are snowy and some like today are beautiful!! We started off with a hay ride down to the "pumpkin patch" aka Grandpa's farm. Then we put faces on the pumpkins. Most of the kids wanted to draw their own faces on them, rather than use the stickers. We have so many talented kids!! Then they played a variety of fun games (for prizes of course) and we ended like all great party's do, by frosting our own cupcakes. It was a great day, and all the kids had fun.


Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Stone!!!

Hawaiian Ice

These last few weeks have been filled with a million different emotions.
Our family that lives on Maui came over to see my Grandma Jackson. Sean and Stacy stayed with us, along with her four beautiful children Serena, Shane, Shaylin, and Seanson. My Uncle Allen, my cousin Amy, and her son Triston stayed with my Uncle Vern.

Some of Stacy's kids had never seen snow, so that was our mission to find some snow for them. We drove up Payson canyon to the very top, that's where we found maybe an inch of slushy COLD snow. They loved it! It was such a beautiful day, all the leaves had changed. They all remembered the smell of the fall season.

Stacy and Seanson


This is the picture I like to call "Hawaiian Ice" It was COLD, but all the kids loved seeing the snow.

We did so many fun things together!




The Zoo


Pioneer Village (This is the Place Monument)

It's always so hard to tell them goodbye! I will miss Serena playing the piano, Shane playing with the boys, Shaylins beautiful smile, and whisper, and Seanson letting me know that he ate all his dinner in hopes for a chocolate ice cream bar.

I look forward to seeing them on Maui soon!!
