Valley View Color Run

My sister, Heather, is the PTA President for Valley View.
She planned and hosted a "Color Run" for their PTA fundraiser.

It was a fun event for the whole family!  We had such a great time!

I hope they do it again!!

My mom was one of the volunteers and was the first "sprayer" on the race. 

She NAILED Matt and he LOVED it!

And she barely got Lindsay, but Lindsay HATED it!

Nut, by the end she LOVED getting sprayed!!

Dance in the Rain

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to DANCE in the rain!"

Eliza's 5th Birthday

Cute Eliza turned 5!  Kristy went ABOVE and BEYOND and planned an AMAZING birthday party!

Really, every detail was incredible!  It was so magical! 

They had a bibbidi bobbidi boutique, magic fairy godmother dust, games, treats, and so much more!

And our darling niece, Becca, played Cinderella for the party!

I sure do love these two cousins together!

Happy Birthday cute Eliza!

Trip to the Cabin

This weekend we took a quick trip up to the cabin with my sister and her family.

I usually take a ton of pictures, but this time I didn't.

We did a lot of the usuals...campfire, movies, shooting the BB guns, the fairy forest, and hiking.

Oh, and lots of yummy food.

I didn't get my camera out until our final hike, and for the ride home.
The colors are starting to change and it is beautiful up there!

Thanks for joining us, McMurray family!!

Francis Frontier Days

We had spent Labor Day with Rick and Olivia's family for Francis Frontier Days.

We all had a GREAT time (with the exception of Matt ridding the sheep).

I love this picture of Noah riding! 

...and falling

Matt makes a good cowboy!

Last year, Lindsay won the race.

This year, she didn't stand a chance because she and Liv held hands nearly the whole time.
(And Linds and Liv are the youngest in their age group this year).

I also LOVE this picture of Noah nearly catching the pig!

He eventually caught it, but he didn't get to take it home.

The kids won a pop, a quarter, a coloring book, and crayons!

Noah also caught (and got to take home) this chicken!
Eli got one too!!

Matt was happy with his pop and candy!

Alphabet Dates--U Date

This weekend we had an UNBELIEVABLE “U date.”

We started by going to watch Noah’s “UTE Conference” football game, where the kids saw UNCLE Rick.

Then, the kids watched the movie “UP” as we drove to our secret destination. 

Well, we got lost, made lots of U-TURNS, and made an UNEXPECTED stop at Chick-fil-A.

Next, we went to visit the UP house! (Lindsay was so cute and freaked out!  She loved it).

Following the UP house, we watched the UNBELIEVABLE Brigham Young UNIVERSITY game. (Seriously, did you watch that!?  Best night ever!) 

We made and ate Pineapple UPSIDE-DOWN cake, and had milk from cow's UDDERS.

I LOVE this picture of Matt and Eli wrestling!   Those cute cousins!!

We sure love that Noah!  He is a great cousin!!

This picture makes me laugh!  Lindsay said, "Take this picture, but don't put my bottom in it!"

My first time making Pineapple Upside-down cake!

Go COUGARS!!!

And seriously, if you didn't see the end of that game...watch it HERE.
