Rango Hawaiian Shirt Day with Andrew, Lawson, and Kiana

Twin Day with Andrea

Pirate/Mermaid Day

Friday was Spirit Day. At the assembly Lex got her crown and sash for being on the Homecoming Court.

Paige, Courtney, Lex, Heidi, and Katie

Heidi and Lex got ready together. It was good to have Heidi in our home again. I've missed her.


At Half-Time the floats and court were driven around the track.


Heidi won!



Lex was having a hard time getting around in her heels, but she impressively ran backwards to try to get a picture with Taz. Lex spent the whole game walking around and taking pics with her friends,



The next day, Aunt Melissa came over to help with hair and makeup. We took a few more pics in her game outfit.

Addison loved the crown and sash. She loves all things princess and her family calls her Princess more than her own name.



Ryan came to pick her up at the house and took Lex to the District for pictures.

The Group

The Girls

The group all drove themselves over to the reception hall where they had dinner catered. It was Italian food.




The party bus picked them up there and took them to the Monte Carlo where they saw the Blue Man Group.


They had a dessert bar at the Haycocks house and then they all split up and did their own thing. Lex and Ryan went home to change and then went to a party for a little while.  Lex had a great Senior Year Homecoming.

Labor Day

September 4-7, 2015

It had been so long since we had made it to the cabin, we excited to be able to head up for the weekend.  Lee brought his kids and Bo's family came up too.  We brought Lex's friend, Andrea, with us as well, so we had a full house.


 We stopped in St. George for dinner.


We were the last to make it to the cabin.  Seth had gone up with Lee and the kids had been working on a talent show.  The talents were pretty sketchy (like making toys fight each other). Seth did a pretty good magic trick though.


On Saturday, Grandpa and Grandma came up and we made Lex's favorite- chocolate chip pancakes, for her Adoption Day. The kids spent most of the day on the ATV's. They had so much fun driving around.




I mostly hung out inside chatting and I got to hang out with Wally. He is such a good baby.


The kids made this cool fort. We hiked up the hill behind the cabin to see the fort and take some pictures.



While I was up the hill, I saw Cam walking back to the cabin, crying. I saw that she had crashed the ATV. I went with Bo to check out the damage.  It was totally flipped over, but Bo was able to get it up and working.  Cam was okay, just sore for a few days. Dave took the little ones fishing for a little while, we had dinner and then made S'Mores. We tried to tell scary stories, but we really aren't very scary.



Grandma and Grandpa went back to their house, and we played Oh Hell while the kids watch a movie.


We went to the earlier sacrament, the next day. We stopped by the store, so Andrea could call her parents and we saw Alan Ewell - so random!


After lunch, Austen polished off the Chocolate Cherry Cake I had made the night before. Lee's family headed back to Vegas that afternoon and Bo's family went to spend the night in Paragoonah.


Lex and Andrea had a little photo shoot.






We walked over to the Marshall's after dinner. Lex and Andrea hung out in the clubhouse, while Seth and I attempted to play horseshoes.  We were terrible.




The next morning, we cleaned the cabin and headed down to Paragoonah to ride Grandpa's new horses, Cleo and Boone. 



Even Wally got on and we took a picture, like the one we had taken of Bo at that age.


We all headed over to the fair to ride a few rides.






We made a stop at Brad/s Food Hut for lunch and headed home. I hope we can make it back up to the cabin more. It is so good to get away.
