October was a busy month. It was also bittersweet. I lost my Uncle Billy, and was able to go to Colorado to see my extended family. It was so sad to loose him at a young age. He has two young daughters and a beautiful wife that he leaves behind. My sister, my brother, and I flew into Denver and had a good, but sad trip. Makes me want to visit all the time, under better circumstances of course!!
We did a lot of Cornbelly trips since we bought a season pass this year. It was soooooo worth it and I plan to do it again this year!!
The boys, (Garrett and his brother), went hunting for elk. They didn't get one but Garrett was able to shot at one. They had a great time and are counting down the days they can do it again!! This year will be in Colorado.
Gosh....how could I forget Soccer!!! Feels like we played it all year long!! Well we kinda did. We did spring soccer and fall soccer this year. It was the first for spring soccer in the city and it wasn't as organized as fall. Plus we got our favorite coach for Fall Soccer so it was by far our favorite!!
Power outage while Garrett was gone. Austin slept through it but Madison freaked out!! Sure made for a fun game of Yahtzee though!! (which she won BTW)
The kids did the parade again this year for their dance group. Madison was able to walk this time and made it all the way through. I too helped out and walked with the kids.
Halloween!! and trick or treating!! Very fun and very exhausting!!

August 2014
August was packed with so many fun things!!
-Austin learned to ride his bike with no training wheels!! It only took a few tries in the backyard then he was off riding with the rest of the kids!
-Rain, Rain, Rain!! We enjoyed some puddle jumping!!
-Crawdad fishing at Strawberry Res. It was loads of fun. We tired chicken wings on a rope, threw it into the water, waited a bit, then the boys pulled the string in while I stood in the water scooping the crawdads with a big net. I would also scoop the "runaways" with my hands while the kids grabbed them and put them into the cooler. It was a good time til they would brush up against my legs and creep me out!! And I was soooo sore the next day from all the scooping!! Next time, a net with smaller holes!
-Camping trips to Current Creek Res. where the boys will hunt. We went up there a few times, exploring the area and taking some great pictures! Some of my favorite pictures I took this year were up there!
-First day of School!! Madison 3rd grade, Austin Kindergarten!
-New truck!
-11 year anniversary!!
-Ice bucket challenges for all of us!!
Great end to the Summer!!

April 2014
Had a good time with April Fools Day this year. Made meatloaf cupcakes, mashed potato ice cream and broccoli suckers with jello drinks! The kids thought it was fun. They even got "brown E's" (I just cut out E's in brown paper!!) It was fun and I'm glad the kids were a good sport!!
We made our own Corn Hole set and have been having a blast playing it on the weekends. Even the kids get into it!
Did a lot of park hoping already. Found a new one with basketball hoops, swings, and bathrooms!! And its close to home....yay!!
Easter. Had a great Easter Sunday. Kids got to join in an egg hunt for the neighborhood, which was a lot more laid back then the big city ones. Will defiantly have to keep up that tradition!! The kids and I went to church. It was a very moving service and I really enjoy it. The kids also had a lot of fun and really would like to go back.
And of course our Madison turned 8!!! What!?! She is a doll. We had a family dinner and then she had a friend come over for cupcakes and a "late over", where the girls hang out and play til 10 then the friend goes home. Not sure I like it. Would rather have the girl stay the night so they weren't so tired.
