Promise me you will always remember that you are stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you ever imagined.

Dinosaur Park with the Sanders

We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden with Stephanie and her family. We got lucky, we ended up being there when they were having a Halloween night as well, so we were able to go through during the daytime hours and then the kids hurried into their costumes and we headed back so they could do the park spook alley style and also to do some trick-or-treating!What nice brothers, feeding Stetson to the dinosaur. Check out these BIG, tough kids. Jake and Stetson look so small infront of this big, tall, long neck dinosaur.Jake and Ellie posing infront of a harry rhino.LONG NECK!OK, they are just too cute! They were trying to look devistated, they just look cute. :)Chylie trying to look big, and tough like this mammoth. She's a bit too cute to be a mammoth! It was pretty hard getting a good picture of the Sander's family, so of the 10 pictures I took, this one was the best. 6 out of 7 people smiling is not bad at all









Jake thought he was pretty cool catching a ride with a pink dinosaur. Jaxon got stuck in the eye of the skull, Braidon just stood by making fun of him instead of helping him get loose. What a good big brother! LOLThis just might be the cutest little witch I have ever seen.











Dylan and Jaxon held on for dear life as the big dinosaur attempted to eat them for a snack.

Airplane/Train Museums with the Sanders

While Stephanie and Chai were here with there kids, we took them to the Airplane Museum, and to the Train Museum on 25th Street.

I caught these boys actually being kind and loving to each other, and I thought I would hurry and get the picture so that years down the road when they try to deny that they were ever loving to each other I can pull out this picture and prove them wrong. lol

These two boys thought they were real cool climbing on the train that carried the
Salt Lake City Olympics Flame.
Ellie, trying to decide which way she should go!
Outside the Airplane Museum
I promise Stetson was more excited to be here than he is leading on. :)

Wrangler Butt

Jake got ready for school this morning and then came downstairs and asked me if I would take a picture of his cute wrangler bum. He is such a cute kid, and he keeps me on my toes constantly.

4th Grade Wax Museum

Ellie's 4th Grade class did a Wax Museum, and each student was given the opportunity to choose who they wanted to do their report on. Ellie chose to do her report on Brigham Young, and dressed up like his daughter Ellie Young and told a little bit about her father and the type of man he was and the Legacy and name he left for himself after he passed away. She did a really good job, and I am proud of her hard work.Some of the other Names you could choose from were John Wesley Powell~Jedediah Smith~And Father's Escalante and Dominguez~

The teacher set up the classroom like a Wax Museum, and then opened it up to parents and Grandparents to walk around the room and listen to the stories of these Old Time Pioneers.

Ray's Birthday and Tony Grove

It's Ray's birthday, and he wanted to go on a picnic up to Tony Grove. I packed up the car with a blanket, picnic, drinks, and ourselves and off we headed up towards Logan. The day was beautiful, and the Autamn leaves are just beginning to make their full appearances. Tony Grove was really busy, and so we hiked around just a bit, and then headed back down the canyon and into Logan to the city park by the stream and had lunch, cake and drinks. Ray seemed to be quite content with how his special day turned out. Happy Birthday honey, I hope you have had a great day!!!

Two Silly girls and Jake

Ellie had her friend Hollie over to play. They played littlest pet shop for quite a while in Ellie's room, then they decided to go outside and be silly with Jake. Not too long after they headed outside Ellie came back inside and asked if I would come out and take pictures of them being silly.

Jake loved that they let him play with them. It isn't everyday he gets invited to play with the girls, and he took advantage of every single minute of the playtime. :)
