Cadence's New Glasses!

Cadence got his new glasses. He actually really needed them! I feel bad that I didn't know how bad his eyes are. I guess I don't think about needing glasses since I have never needed them. He has 20/80 vision! He looks so grown up in his glasses. He was so excited to get them. We had to wait about a week to get them. It is fun to see him and here him tell me what he can see now!








HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

On Friday, the day before Halloween, the kids had Halloween parties and a Halloween parade at their school. Easton even got to go on a field trip to one of the pumpkin patches here. He had a ton of fun. Each kindergarten class made their own Halloween t-shirts. Easton's class did a tie-dye with hand prints for a spider. They were super cute!
This is Easton participating in a class activity before the parade.


Easton's class lined up waiting for their turn to join the parade.


Here is Cadence in the halls during the parade.

Cadence's class had a fun party too!


Here is Cadence with some of his friends at school. I didn't have to ask for them to get in the picture...The were super eager to get their photo taken with Cadence!

On Halloween we went over to Lee and Mandy's to trick-or-treat with them and join their old neighborhood's Halloween block party.
Cadence was the ghost from the movie "Scream" He has never seen the movie but he liked the bleeding face. Easton was the new version of GI Joe. He had never seen the movie either but he liked the mask and muscles!

Here is my brother Lee. He is a mechanic :)
Here is my niece Kylee and her husband who dressed up like Kylee!
Here is my niece Madison (right) and her friend. They are the umpa lumpas! Great costumes!
This is my sister-in-law Mandy who is a flight attendant.
My nephew Adam who is Michael Jackson.
It was a fun Halloween! It was nice that it wasn't freezing like it always is in Utah!

Trip to Utah

I had a few days off of work so I decided to go to Utah to visit my family and friends. It was way too much driving and not enough visiting. I am not sure why but I didn't take very many pictures in Utah. We got to see my parents new house which was fun. It is still weird that they don't live in their old house on Timpview Drive anymore! It was fun to see how happy the new house makes my parents! It is a very pretty house with a great view and a huge park in the back yard! It is great!
On the way up to Utah we stopped in Las Vegas to make the trip a little easier on all of us. We stayed in the Riviera hotel on the way up. It was cheap and had a bed so it was perfect!

We stopped by the M&M store in Las Vegas where the kids and I watched their cute 3D movie that is FREE!





On Sunday, Jenni invited us over for dinner. She cooked roast with potatoes and vegetables. It was delicious! Thanks Jenni!


I was able to go and visit my Grandma. It was so good to see her!

On the way home we stoped in Las Vegas again and stayed at the Excalibur Hotel.


We walked around a bit but it was really really windy and kind of cold.


We saw a komodo dragon.

We saw the shark exhibit at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. We got to pet stingrays and some weird type of crab!


We stopped for a few minutes at the Hover Dam.

It was a fund trip but I hope next time we can fly!
