Ryan and I are pretty strict about not letting the girls sleep in our bed with us.  

Call us crazy but we don't like being jabbed in the back, kicked in the head and

 sleeping on the edge of our bed.

When I came home from running I found Dru and Rylie on my side of the bed....

snuggling...like an old married couple.

Ha Ha!  I had to take a picture to show them what they looked like.

Spookapalooza

My cute friend invited us to the Spookapalooza over UEA weekend.  The kids were out of school so we ALL went.  We had so much fun running around collecting treats and jumping in the bounce houses.  We spent a few hours there and then went out to lunch.  When we got home I asked the girls what their favorite part was.  They all said that playing with Emme was the best part.   Ha ha!

Who needs candy and bouncy slides when you have Emme?

{my camera was crazy that day so these are the best I could do}

Thanks Annalisa and Emme for letting us tag along!

The Witches

Once again we made our annual trip to Gardner Village to see the witches.  

It is always a fun day.  Thanks Gma Kathy for a yummy lunch.

 Fun Aunt Kim

 Darling cousins...Winston and Henry

 Cute Aunt Megan

St. G

We left for St. George on Olivia's birthday.  She woke up super early to a pear cake.  This girl is obsessed with fruit!  She made a wish, blew out the candle and off we went with the rest of the Martin's down South.  (Even Aunt Adrienne flew in from New York to be with us!!!)

 So, the rest of these pictures are totally out of order. (darn computer) :(

We went to Snow Canyon and enjoyed a beautiful hike and fun sand dunes.

 Ade was a good sport and took the girls swimming.  The rest of us were on lounge chairs taking pics and just relaxing.  Thanks Ade!  The girls LOVE you!

  

 Thanks Gma & Gpa for a fun weekend.  We ate well and it was so fun to be together.

Thanks Uncle Alex & Aunt Elisabeth for being so cute and putting up with all our crazy kids and for those delicious pumpkin choc. chip cookies.

Thanks Aunt Ade for flying out and being the sweet, fun, exciting person you are!!!

p.s.  Show me the car facts!  ;)

A Jolly Holiday

My mom took us to go see Mary Poppins on broadway.

I pulled the girls out of school to go on opening day at the capital.  Wow!  It was amazing!

It was not like the Disney version, but we all ended up loving it.  

We met at my mom's house and all rode down together. 

Thank you, Mom!    What a fun day and something we will never forget!

 Liv was in a grumpy mood in the beginning.  (see pics above, she is hiding in the first)

After the first few minutes of the play she was a happy girl again. (see pics below) 

Dru would make a pretty cute Mary!

The have the coolest art exhibit right next to the Capital Theatre.  

My girls could have spent hours here.
