Haunted Cruise and field trip



Cohen had a field trip to the pumpkin patch and I was lucky enough to go with his class. I love helping with his preschool. It gives me a chance to get to know his school mates better and it's always fun to see how the kids act. In fact I got put back in nursery at church. Cohen's age group is split up so I'm not his teacher but am the other teacher. Which is probably good because he is very independent. In fact the day of his preschool when I walked in there he looked at me and said mom go home. When we drove back form preschool he said mom you have to take me to preschool and then you go home ok. We had alot of fun at the pumpkin patch. They got to see animals, play in a corn, and he loved the corn maze.

Ben, Cole and Cohen and Addie

Cohen loved the corn maze he spent most of the time running around in there.
I had a friend call us and invite us to go on the haunted cruise down by utah lake on the provo river. I had never heard of it and thought it sounded like a fun activity to do. Anything to get the kids out of the house sounds amazing to me. It was fun though. We got on a boat with a pirate who pulled us along the river by ropes above. It was at the ropes course. We saw alot of pumpkins, ghost and another pirate tried to get in our boat. He told us jokes and stories about pirates and then passed out some candy.

Kenzley loved looking around and watching everything

Cohen loves his daddy so much and is always by his side.

Sand Dunes UEA weekend

So it's official the sand dunes is our home away from home. Dallas has been there the past 4 weekends in a row. Me and the kids have been down a few of those times and we love it! Cohen loves everything about it from the sand to the camping to all the kids and the rides. It is the perfect weekend for my boys. Even Kenzley really enjoys it. Everytime you pick Kenzley up out of the sand she starts crying. As always this weekend was just as fun as every other weekend. We went down Thursday night and had a movie night in the trailer with pop corn. It was alot of fun. The next day some of our friends were slowly showing up so we just hung out around our camp. Dallas took Cohen on a dirt bike ride and Cohen did excellent. In fact when they got back Dallas took off Cohen's training wheels. I love being at the sand dunes there is always good food and snacks and of course the company is alot of fun! This weekend is also the first time that we tipped over in the razor. That was a little scary but not as scary as I thought it could have been. After that I rode with Ben for a little bit because he is not as crazy as Dallas can be. Also Dallas' mom came down so it was fun for her to experience what we do. I took her and Cohen for a ride. It was fun but I still get really scared driving. Then later on Dallas took his mom for a ride and I'm sure scared her half to death! Dallas also got to do alot of drag racing. I love watching him race however it's scary when he is doing a wheelie half way up the face of the mountain! As you can see we always have alot of fun at the sand dunes!

Cohen loves riding his pedal bike at the sand dunes!

Kenzley absolutely loves playing in the sand and of course trying to eat it so you have to watch her really carefully. And if you take her out of the sand she throws a little fit, it's kinda funny.





Kenzley is our little adrenaline junkie. She loves to go for rides on anything, whether it be the dirtbike, the fourwheeler or the razor. In fact alot of the time we take her for a ride on the razor to get her to fall asleep.

Cohen playing with his dirt bike training wheels. Being so strong.
Cohen learning how to ride his dirt bike without any training wheels on.
Cohen sitting on Tank which really surprised me so I had to run and get the camera. Cohen usually doesn't like dogs and it always takes him time to warm up to Tank. Tank however is a really good dog. I wish I could get a picture of Kenzley cuddling with him because she is not scared at all of Tank.

Nitro Circus fun

Dallas has been wanting a shifter cart for years, me not so much. Dallas had one of his dirt bikes in the garage torn apart forever. Finally he listed it on KSL and low and behold someone emailed him saying they would trade him a shifter cart for his dirt bike. Of course he jumped on the chance. Again me, not so thrilled. I was excited to get one thing out of the garage but now we got another thing that is even bigger! My car keeps getting the boot from the garage. When they did the trade he took it out for a spin and Kenzley loved it. Dallas was doing doughnuts and Kenzley was giggling so hard, it was hilarious. Kenz was dying to go for a ride! Dallas took her and she loves it. Kenzley is definitely our adrenaline junkie. She loves going fast, spinning around, and falling, anything like that and she is not scared of anything. Cohen is our daredevil but he even gets scared of some of the noises. It took Cohen a little longer to warm up to the shifter cart. Needless to say Dallas has had alot of fun driving it around and especially in the church parking lot.
This is a picture of Kenzley at the sand dunes. Dallas took her for a ride in the razor and she fell asleep. The funny part is she would not let go of this cookie. Even when she was sleeping we would try and take it out of her hand and she would tighten it. When she woke up it was finally laying in her crib. She is such a funny little girl. Kenzley also is loving climbing up on everything. Granted she gets too scared to come down because half of the time she falls but she still loves to climb on anything.
Our friend in the ward who works for APX invited us to their company party. They had Nitro Circus come and he knew that we are huge fans. We went and had a blast. I was amazed at how fun this company party was. By far the best company party I have ever been to. First of all they got Nitro Circus to come, they brought in 144 loads of dirt, it was catered with Jay dogs, all you could eat hot dogs, candy and drinks. I was quite impressed. We got there to get our seats and Foster called us to go meet Travis Pastrana. I was so excited. We went in and we were the last ones to get our pictures taken with him. (Sadly we didn't use our camera but hopefully we will get the picture) Cohen of course clammed up and wouldn't give Travis five but it was still cool. Then we went back to our seats to watch the show. Most of the crew sky dived in for their entrance. Then Travis Pastrana did a back flip over the sales managers. Later on a bunch of the managers including our friend Foster raced pit bikes. It was fun to cheer them on. Most of them had never been on a bike which made it quite entertaining. Then we just watched what Nitro Circus does best. It was amazing, the best race I have been to. I liked it even better than super cross. It was so much fun. Thank you Foster for inviting us!!!

Whip contest
Travis Pastrana super man
Foster Watabe racing! Good job Foster!!!
Sunday you always have to have some kind of a treat so we made brownies. The kids LOVED licking the spatula. Kenzley was in heaven and wanted more and more and if you didn't give her more she would get quite upset. And she lets you know when she is upset!




Kenzley crying for more and I loved how she threw herself to the floor!
Kenzley loves to point at everything and say whats that. It's adorable!

I wish I would have gotten a video of this because Kenzley was dancing on the colors of the rug it was so cute, but the picture is still just as cute!
Last but not least my three most favorite people in the whole world! I love these guys more than words could express. I definitely am the most luck wife and mom!
