Halloween Day

This Halloween day will go down as cold and wet, but the kids made the best of it. As far as picture taking goes, well, we sucked. It rained and rained and rained and it was cold. This year we went with the Star Wars theme - as per request of the boys. Matt was Darth Mal, I was Princess Leiha, Mase and Max were Storm Troopers, and Mackay was Darth Vader





Pappa Kurt and Grandma Lynn were lookin' smokin' in their Haloween Costumes.




We played all sorts of games, including Halloween Bingo.

Wheelin'

Our friends the Fox's got a new ride and we look for any excuse to go on the Ranger. So we headed out for a quick ride above Bountiful.



Fox's new Ute Mobile! (stole this pic from ang ;)


The Ranger got a flat, luckily we had a spare with us. The smart boys had us on our way in no time.



Thanks for riding with us Fox's - We had a blast!!! Snow and all...

Halloween School Festivities

Maxwell's preschool had a little program they put together. They all got to wear their costumes and sing songs.




Mason's school did the traditional parade. It was fun to see all the kids and neighbors with their fun and creative costumes.


I was in charge of Mason's class party. We played games, danced, made crafts and daddy even showed up with the cotton candy machine! Always a HIT.

Flip's Carnival

Sigh..... Flip's Halloween Carnival 2010 is over. While it was a TON of fun it is also a TON of work. My dancers performed and they did great.



There were just a few people that came to watch my girls!


The boys look forward this this party every year.


The biggest hit this year was the dunk tank. Some brave fathers took the plunge in the icy water - the kids had a blast dunking their dads. This is Jamon, seconds before being dunked.


Jamon always knows how to have a good time.


Mason getting ready to test his aim.


This is Brownie being dunked by daughter Kaelyn.


Kaelyn's work here is done!


Jamon told Matt that it was cold for the first few dunks but after a while it warmed right up. Matt's response after his dunking 'Bull Crap!' It was still ice cold after dunk 15!

Mason's Soccer

Mason was GREAT this year at soccer. He and his bud Ethan were SO much more aggressive this year. Their team only lost one game the whole season. It was so much more enjoyable to watch them now that they are so aggressive.

TEAMWORK




DETERMINATION




FAMILY SUPPORT

Maxwell Soccer

Another session of the boys soccer has ended. Maxwell tore it up this year with the green gators. It was fun to have boys from the neighborhood on his team.



Max on his way to one of his many goals.

New Family Pics!

We had our new family pics done recently and it came together just as I imagined it. Thanks to my dad for letting us use his BAD Harley. The bike is in mint condition! Thanks also to our great friend / photographer Lynette. It worked out great - Lynette took some pics of us and Matt was able to take some family pics for them. 2 birds 1 stone. We were amazed at Lynette's skills! Thanks!







Our Boys! The dude rags played a great effect in the cuteness factor :)


We were able to round up these Harley Davidson leather jackets for the boys.


We decided to do Mackay's 1 year old pics at the same time. Can't wait to get these printed on some canvas.

Mackay is 1

Happy birthday lil' Mackay! Can't believe our baby is 1! Life is passing by WAY too fast. We adore you Mackay. Your sweet little spirit and personality completes our family in a way that is indescribable. Thank you for being such a wonderful little boy.











Mackay picked the perfect day to start taking his first steps by himself. Today he took 5 or 6 steps by himself. What a good boy!
