Its A Major Award!

Kyle and I went to pick up Henry last week. When we got home there was a box on our front porch. Henry automatically thought I had bought something. Opened it up and we had won a contest! We NEVER win anything.

A few months ago Kyle was reading his Disney and Me magazine and saw the contest page. He told me he wanted that and pointed to it. So we sent in a postcard. They were only giving away 20 of these prizes. So I was shocked to have won. It was a Mickey Clubhouse bubble machine with bubbles, and a Mickey bubble wand with bubbles.

Pumpkins

While Henry was out of town last week, Brian and I had to go to the garden and pick our pumpkins before the snow came. Kyle helped dig up the plants, he carried the pumpkins, he was a great help. We picked roughly 10 pumpkins.

Estes Park 10-1 to 10-4

Every October Conference week we go up to Estes Park with my family. I love Estes Park and every fall I can't wait to go up there. This year mom decided to get H1N1 so mom and Dad didn't come up. Were all bummed about it but we didn't want to get it.

Henry, Kyle, and I went up Thurs. afternoon. We went to dinner at a neat restaurant called the Dunraven. Really good Itlian food. After we went back to the cabin were Henry worked and Kyle and I watched TV.

This year Kim went with us (Brian's girlfriend). They arrived Fri. afternoon and went on a tour of the Stanley Hotel (Stephen King's inspitation for the Shinning). After, Michael and Mary came up Fri. night and had rented the tv mini series The Shinning. This one was more true to the book and was filmed at the Stanley. So after the kids went to bed we watched the first 2 episodes and watched the last one Sat. night.

We like to play games and just hang out and relax. Saturday we went down the big slide in town. A hit with the kids!

The kids dressed for bed and playing with the magnent dress up dolls Mama and Papa sent up.

Kyle's Girlfriend

Kyle always has hung out with girls. All of my friend have girls his age. Only recently has he started hanging out with boys, We have a playgroup with 5 boys from church and he plays with other boys in preschool, but this was to funny.

Mymom is in the primary presidency and one of the teachers came out and of nursery and told her she feels bad for Kyle because McLayne won't leave Kyle alone and always wants to hold his hand. They are in preschool together too and she came to out summer outings group. On our last trip we went to Dino Ridge and walked up the road. Kyle and McLayne held hands the whole time up. It was really cute. Kyle really likes to play with her too. And for all you Ute fans, her Uncle is Tony Bergstrom.

A Day Out With Thomas

First let me say, Henry did not get an animal this year. He is not real happy about it so please do not ask him about it.

On to Thomas. We went and saw Thomas on September 26th. We buy the earliest tickets so we are in before the crowds and leave as they are all coming in. It was a little cool to start out but as the day went on it warmed up nice.

We rode a train pulled by Thomas. All the kids are so excited. A friend of ours compared it to a rock concert for toddlers. All the kids are screaming "It's Thomas!" It is a crack-up!

After the train ride they have activities (story time, meet Sir Topham Hat, lego center, and petting zoo). Kyle always has a blast each year.

Labor Day

We went over to Mom and Dad's for a Labor Day BBQ. Kyle had a blast playing with his cousins. They were in the backyard playing when he picked up a few twigs a held them up to his head and started bugling like and elk. It was hilarious! That kid is too much.

A Hunting We Will Go!

Archery deer and elk season opened up on Saturday, so we have been busy getting Henry ready for hunting season. A good friend of ours came up from Texas to hunt with Henry opening week. For the record, they lived here for a few years and that is how we know them. They are having fun, nothing has been harmed during the hunt so far, but I will keep you posted.


On Monday Kyle and I went to a way cool park with a group from church. They boys played for over 3 hours. He loves the park, but the water feature was great that day becasue of the temperature.

Kyle joined an all boy play group that meets on Wednesdays. He plays with girls so much we thought it would be a good idea to play with boys too. It is 5 boys from church, a two are a year older and 1 is a year younger, and one other is Kyle's age. He is friends with all of them so he will have a great time. But boy is my schedule crazy with playdates, pre-school, and Relief Society stuff, then throw in piano and helping Henry with his business.

We are getting together at Mom's and Dad's tonight to watch the Utah Utha State game. GO UTES!
