St. George and Las Vegas

I know it's a month after, but better late than never!!

In October, Brett and I had a little overnight getaway to St. George. We had a free night stay (thanks Steve!) at an awesome place called the Green Gate Village. We stayed in the Christmas Cottage. So fun! We went to Tuacahn and saw Aida. It's one of my favorite musicals from my bachelorette days, but Brett didn't prefer it. That's okay! :) We went out to dinner with our Mission President and wife, the Terry's. We went to a movie in the THEATER and bought POPCORN! (Yes, this is a vacation!!) We took a tour through Brigham Young's home in St. George. We did a session in the St. George temple with family names (thanks Lauretta). It was SOOO fun and SOOO refreshing! We need to remember to be consistent with these outings!!

It turned out to be the same weekend that BYU played UNLV in Las Vegas. At Brett's cousin's invitation (thanks David!) we met up with our kids and family (thanks Lauretta and Kevin) and went down to Las Vegas for a brief visit! (Can you see how much help we had???!!!) Katie loved playing with Luke and Mia and the tailgate party was lots of fun. BYU won the game (important!). It was a brief whirlwind trip (what else is new!) but with lots of fun memories.

Mia and Katie were such great pals. Mia came over to the blue side by the end of the night.

Mandy loved the popcorn.

Dad won a field goal kicking contest.

Are you red or blue????

Grandparents Day

Grandpa and Grandma Greer came to town for a couple days and we had so much fun! The original reason was for "Grandparents Day" at preschool, but it snowballed to so much more! We went swimming at "Grandpa's Pool" at the hotel, went for a walk to the Creamery (and Dad even met us there), dinner at a "resta-aunt", watched a Princess movie, jumping rope, McDonald's Happy Meals, and more. Katie thought it was great & wants to know when we're doing it all again!! Thanks for coming!!

Happy Halloween-Princess Style

Would you ever wonder what we shall be at our house?
Nothing but Royalty. . . .
Soo, now I've told the scoop. What are YOU going to be????

Sure you know, but just to clarify: Prince Charming, Cinderella, Belle, and Snow White.

Beautiful, I know!!

PumpkinLand

Possibly a new tradition that we started last year (thanks to Law Partners Children's Hour) is Orem's PumpkinLand at the Vineyard Nursery. So fun! Child-focused corn maze, pumpkin patch, playground, Lights Spook Alley, inflatable jump toys, animals and more. Dad even came this year. So fun. We'll be back next year, and as long as we live in Utah County!

Wee Witches Weekend

Grandma Nichols loves to go to Witches Night Out every year at Gardner Village. I've never been, but this year we four girls went to Wee Witches Weekend---during the daylight for us tender-foots. It was fun and Katie loved it. May be a new tradition?
