Jack o lantern

Rylie has lost so many teeth in such a short time.

Each one was traumatic. 

She was so funny about who could touch and even look at her teeth.

I think she looks like a cute Jack o latern....just in time for Halloween.

Fenton Halloween Party

 Finally, we are all together for Halloween!

 
 

Kris made her spooky witches brew.

Megan brought a fun box of creepy things to touch. 

 We had a contest to see who could balance the most candy corns on a tongue depressor.  

Berkleigh won.

 We played a fun dice and drawing game. 

Of course we had to eat doughnuts on a string. 

We even had time for frosting cookies.

It was so much fun to be together!

Happy Birthday!

Two lovely ladies had a birthday on Saturday!

We celebrated Grandma Martin by taking her out to breakfast.

She is one of the most amazing women I know.

We LOVE her and feel so lucky she is in our lives.

Later that night we celebrated Kim's 40th birthday with a surprise party!

She was definitely surprised and could not have been cuter.

Steve and Kris hosted the party and everyone came to celebrate Kim.

We love her so much! 

Snowbird

We headed up to Snowbird on Saturday to take a tram ride.

Olivia invited 2 of her cute friends to come along.

It was BEAUTIFUL weather!

We waited 2 whole hours which was pretty painful. 

The kids were great sports and played games all along the way. 

I think we were entertainment for others in line. :)

Finally on the tram!

Going up!

Rylie got a little nervous.

It was gorgeous.

Cousin Witch Hunt

My parents took some of the cousins to Gardner Village 

to look for those crazy witches.

My dad bought us carmel apples.  Yum!

We also got some yummy cookies at the bakery.

 

Olivia turns 10

I love that Olivia is 10!

She has grown up to be a beautiful girl inside and out.

She celebrated with her dad by going to breakfast early in the morning. 

She celebrated with her friends by having an ice cream party!

Olivia's darling friends.

We started out the party with having them write down as many words as they could from the words

"ice cream party."

They loved it and came up with great lists.

We then ate ice cream.  

I had several toppings including a cherry for the top.

 

  She received a lot of crafting things.  Perfect for Olivia!

(My cute mom came to help out.)

We then went ice skating.

The rink was practically empty.

The girls loved it and were sad to leave.

Olivia's friend Anna had never been iceskating before...EVER.

She did so well.  Liv never left her side.

Olivia gave each of her friends this little party favor at the end and thanked them for coming.
