Gingerbread Haunted Houses

We carried on our tradition of inviting a few people over to decorate gingerbread haunted houses. This year we made 10 houses. We had a great time and hope those that came enjoyed it as well. Thanks for helping us carry on our tradition!
This years house includes and owl, a happy bat, and a scarecrow! Ella had such a fun time with her friends, eating candy and decorating houses.

11 Months already!

Daxton is 11 months old today! I cannot believe how fast the time is going. It doesn't seem like we have been in our house for almost a year and I can't even believe that my little baby boy is almost one!!!
I love you little man!!

Burnham Family East Canyon Trip

Every year we spend a few days at the condos at East Canyon with the Burnham's. This year we had a great time! We rode on Afi's boat and Ella loved watching daddy "skate" (ski)! Ella also loved riding the tube with mommy and Daxton loved his life jacket and sleeping every time we got on the boat! We also enjoyed naps, swimming, and walks around the condo property! It was a fun time with our great family!! Thanks Afi for taking us on your boat!!

Daxton is 10 months!

Our Weekend Fun!

Darrin and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary this past weekend. We have a tradition of staying at different Bed and Breakfasts. Each year we rotate who gets to plan it and we keep it a surprise for the other person!
This year it was my turn! Darrin has been complaining about wanting a back rub because of all his hard work in our yard. So, I decided that we would enjoy a couples massage!! :) We did that Friday afternoon and then checked into the Armstrong Mansion in Salt Lake. The house is full of intricate work work! It was a fun house to stay in. When I booked the room, they gave us a gift card the "The Roof" restaurant. Friday night we went down to Temple Square and walked around and enjoyed the beautiful flowers and then we enjoyed dinner at "The Roof" with a wonderful view of the Salt Lake Temple (the same temple we were married in!) Thanks to my wonderful parents for watching our kids for us! It was a nice little getaway!

We also were able to plant some trees in our yard! I love our tree in the front yard! Darrin calls it our "Dr. Seuss" tree! The kids also playing in the water and watching the Hill Air Force Air Show! 

Daxton is 9 months!

Our little guy turned 9 months old while we were in California. Here is a little information about him right now! We sure love him. We love watching him grow and figure out new things!
