McKenzie's 8th Birthday

I think McKenzie is the luckiest girl ever. She got to have her birthday in a trailor, camping in the beautiful fall colors! She had her favorite birthday breakfast- french toast, eggs, bacon, donuts, peaches and apple juice. She then was able to play in a tent with all her siblings, make a fire, ride bikes, canoe, and fish. All of her siblings thought she was lucky because she didn't have to clean up after camping. That night, McKenzie had pizza and went to Boondocks with her Dad.

Camping over UEA

We camped at Payson Lake Campground on October 22nd. The weather was fabulous and we had a great time. We rode bikes, canoed, played with the Mecham kids, played games and did art projects.

This is a fun campground because you can ride bikes around the lake and still be able to see those in the canoe.

A story never to be forgotten

Every camping trip needs a story that will never be forgotten, right? How about tipping a canoe in the middle of October!

Fall Festivities

I love the fall! Pumpkins, fall leaves, perfect weather, fun activites, and yes, even football!

Arrow of Light



Great Job Braden. He received his Arrow of Light and all of the Webelos pins except one. Braden is very driven and I am so grateful for that. Keep up the good work.

Katelyn's 6th Birthday

Katelyn turned 6. She got a bike from her Dad and Mom. She also got spoiled from her other famly and friends. For her birthday she went to Boondocks with Grandma Orme and had birthday breakfast.

Katelyn also had her first friend birthday party. She wanted a "gum party". We made gum necklaces, had a gum cake, played games, ate dinner and cake and ice cream, watched a movie and did a treasure hunt.

Katelyn wanted a "late night"and she got it. One of the girls said, when I was taking her home, "I bet my mom and dad are already sleeping. This is the latest I have ever stayed up."

MARY POPPINS

MARY POPPINS here we come! Lucky Aubrielle and McKenzie got to have facials, manicures, pedicures and a fancy luncheon with their grandma, aunts and cousins. Then off to the Broadway we went. I was so completely amazed at the magic on the stage. How did she pull all of that out of her purse?  It was so amazing, we are going to do it again when Beauty and the Beast come. Thank you mom for doing this for us.
