Reflections, Polar Express and other information...

Last year Chase watched The Polar express and Really got into it, so me and Levi decided this year we would take him on it. I ended up getting tickets for just me and him and we went on our special date, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed just watching his face light up and he was riding it. However he was pretty disappointed when we got to "the north pole" and he realized there was no way it was real... Santa did aboard the train though and had special time with each kid, once that happened he decided to believe again and was so excited. We got cookies, and hot chocolate and sang Christmas carols it was really a fun time. I do wish i took Stacia because she would have enjoyed it but it was nice having special time with just chase.

Reflections: Christian and Clay both won Reflections this year, the theme was Together we can and they both won.. they will compete on the next level in January sometime. I am so proud of both of them.

Gardner Village

Me and the kids spent the day delivering flyers and since they were such good helpers we went to Gardner Village. Well once we were there i remembered i had a $20 credit at Cottage Day Retreat so I decided to pamper Stacia, she got her nails done. Me, and my mom decided to get ours done as well, luckily it was a credit because all our polish was off the next day. We had fun looking at the witches and the kids were really good.

Stacia was in a goofy mood and kept making the funniest faces in all my pictures.

This is a tradion we do every year its a lot of fun.

Silver Lake.. Field trip and Egg Drop

So today was General Conference, since it was a nice relaxing day I decided to take the kids up the canyons. Fall time is my favorite time of year to go driving up there since the colors are so beautiful. Apparently we werent the only ones with the idea there were a ton of people there. It was still a lot of fun though and my kids were so good!! They hated that i kept making them pose but look how stinking cute they are.

Playing on the chair lift at Brighton.. they did it according to if they were riding it.

So here they are about to take off. super excited for the ride.

Rounding the corner..

Just a little higher now..

Me looking up at them.. yes i am a full brownette now and yes i am chunkier than i have ever been in my entire life. I have been having some woman problems that have caused the doctor to have to put me into menopause which has caused a very depressing weight gain. I will be working my butt off extra hard though because i refuse to have this extra weight :(

In front of the waterfall at Brighton.

Silver Lake.. it is so beautiful there.. and it was nice and relaxing.

Field Trip!!!

We went to dimple dell park to do some science projects. I was in charge of breaking open rocks and learning about them it was a lot of fun. I love being able to go with my boys when they have activities.

The bus ride there.. clay me and christian

Christian and his best friend Hunter. . they are crazy

Me and Clay on the bus. I actually went with Clay but of course Christian was there.








So the 4th grade did an egg drop, the boys had to create something to put their egg in to be dropped off the roof and itcant break. Well i am proud to say that both of my ideas worked!! They boys did them but my brain came up with them. Okay well with a few suggestions from people i told i was doing this project.

Christians egg survived !! YAY!!!

So did Clays!!! I was a proud mother!

Autism Carnival

Every year they have a carnival to honor the kids with autism, it is really a lot of fun and it helps these kids to feel so special. This year we had the opportunity of having Adam and Amys boys come with us, they were really good boys and i think they enjoyed it. They feed you lunch, give you snacks and the kids win tons and tons of prizes. The star wars characters, these guys are everywhere i swear but the kids love them..

Levi and Chase

They have a ton of awesome sensory games for the kids, these are big huge bumper balls they are awesome and i would LOVE to get some for Chase.

Party Time!!

For the boys birthday we went to the Kearns Rec Center and went swimming. It was really a lot of fun, we had 10 boys total and i must admit they were all really good and respectful. Christian about to go off the platform, he is more daring than i am because i will not go off of these.

Clay mid-air from the platform...

These are the platforms...
