FRIDAY NIGHT WE HAD A DATE NIGHT BUT THIS TIME WE TOOK ZACH ALONG WITH US. MY FRIEND JEN AND HER CUTE FAMILY CAME ALONG WITH US TO DINNER AT IGGYS IN LAYTON. THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY!! WE THEN HEADED DOWN TO SALT LAKE TO "NIGHTMARE ON 13TH STREET" HAUNTED HOUSE. WE MET UP WITH RYAN AND ALAINA, AND RYANS FAMILY AND WE ALL ENTERED THE HOUSE OF TERROR. WE ALL LAUGHED, SCREAMED, AND HAD THE PANTS SCARED RIGHT OFF OF US.!!!WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS AND IT WAS FUN DOING SOMETHING WITH ZACH.

BEAUTIFUL DAY! !

THUSRDAY THE KIDS WERE OUT OF SCHOOL FOR FALL BREAK. CALLED KYLEE AND THOUGHT WE SHOULD SPEND THE DAY TOGETHER WITH THE KIDS. SO WE GRABBED LUNCH AND HEADED UP TO BEUS PARK FOR THE DAY. IT WASNT LONG BEFORE THE KIDS FOUND "WATER". YA, I KNOW WHAT YOURE THINKING - EXACTLY WHAT KYLEE AND I WERE THINKING - GREAT WATER!!! OKAY SO THE KIDS WERE CRACKING US UP! THIS IS A LITTLE STREAM RIGHT. WELL, THE KIDS WERE JUMPING BACK AND FORTH FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. NO MATTER HOW HARD RIDGE TRIED TO JUMP TO THE OTHER SIDE HE , OF COURSE, ALWAYS FELL IN. AND WE ALL KNOW JAXON HE JUST WOULD SLIP IN OR FALL IN. HE WAS CRACKING US UP!! LEXIE ON THE OTHER HAND WOULD ONLY JUMP ONE WAY AND WANTED HEPL GETTING BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE SO SHE WOULDNT GET WET. THE BOYS HAD ALL US GIRLS LAUGHING.. BOYS WILL BE BOYS!!
NOW THAT THE BOYS ARE WET WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO FOR A HIKE. THE KIDS COLLECTED LEAVES ON THE WAY. THEY TRAVELED ON TRAILS AND CLIMBED ON ROCKS.THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. MADDIE WAS SO GOOD AND I HOPE SHE ENJOYED HER FIRST HIKE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
KYLEE AND I THOUGHT THE PARK WOULD BE GREAT FOR A PHOTO SHOOT. THE KIDS WERE SO FUNNY ABOUT THIS. THEY WERE PRETTY EXCITED AND THEY WERE DOING SOME PRETTY FUNNY POSES AND WERE GOOFING OFF SO MUCH. THEY REALLY WERE HAVING A FUN TIME!!KYLEE TOOK A BUNCH OF PICTURES AS WELL. SOME OF THEM TURNED OUT SOOO CUTE! WE JUST HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THE KIDS!! KYLEE TOOK THIS PICTURE OF ME AND LEX.

THEY HAD THE HOUSE DECORATED WITH TONS OF BALLOONS, HAD A DISCO BALL, A FOG MACHINE, LOUD MUSIC, AND LOTS OF FOOD. DID I MENTION THERE WAS TONS OF GIRLS AND A COUPLE OF BRAVE DUDES THAT ATTENDED. AFTER THE HOUSE PARTY, TAYA AND A COUPLE OF HER CLOSE FRIENDS AND ZACH, WENT TO "HAUNTED HOLLOW" AND HAD THE BEEGEES SCARED OUT OF THEM. THEN THEY WENT BACK TO TAYAS HOUSE AND SPENT THE NIGHT.

AND BOY THEY WERE YUMMY! WE HAD A GREAT DINNER - STACKED ENCHILADAS AND ALSO GRILLED CORN ON THE COB. SO GOOD! NOT THAT WE DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT WE WENT FOR A DELICIOUS DESSERT- THE BANANA SPLIT...WOW! WE ATE THE WHOLE THING....OH WELL... IT WAS FUN JUST HANGING OUT WITH THEM. YOU KNOW HOW GIRLS CONVERSATIONS CAN GO. I THINK WE COVERED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. FROM KIDS, CLOTHES, HUSBANDS, AND OF COURSE SEX....LOL! WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN DURING DINNER THAT WE REALIZED THAT WE WERE ALREADY LATE FOR "THIRLLER" UP AT WEBER STATE. WE GOT THERE 20 MINS. LATE BUT OH WELL. THEY DID A GREAT JOB ! I WAS A LITTLE FREAKED OUT WITH HOW MANY TIMES THEY HAD TO PULL OUT A GUN AND SHOOT SOMEONE. ON THE OTHERHAND THE LORENA BOBBIT SKITS WERE QUITE HILARIOUS! THE SHOW WAS REALLY PRETTY GOOD AND I ENJOYED THE DANCING.. THE MALE DANCERS WERE INCREDIBLE (LOVED THE SHINY BLACK SPANDEX TIGHTS- THEY LOOKED AMAZING IN THEM- BUT KYLEE REMINDED ME THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY GAY!...LOL) WE SAW OUR BLOGGING BUDDY - SIERRA AND HER HUBBY AT "THRILLER". HOW LUCKY WAS SHE -I MENTIONED THIS THRILLER THING TO MY HUBBY AND HE SAID "HELL NO IM NOT GOING TO SOME DANCE THING- MAKE IT A GIRLS NIGHT!" SIERRA YOUR HUSBAND ROCKS TO TAKE YOU OUT FOR A DATE NIGHT TO "THRILLER".!!! WOW!! YOU GO GIRL... ANYWAYS I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH MY FRIENDS LAST NIGHT !!LETS DO IT AGAIN....SOON.

LITTLE THINGS

THE OTHER DAY LEXIE AND I WERE OUT BY THE BUS STOP. AS THE BUS PULLS UP I WENT OVER TO GIVE HER A KISS GOODBYE AND SHE YELLS TO ME, " MOM I AM WEARING MY "CROTCHES" TO SCHOOL TODAY!". AND SHE JUST CASUALLY GETS ON THE BUS, LEAVING ME ON THE CURB WITH THE OTHER MOMS LAUGHING OUR HEADS OFF!!! I TELL THE OTHER MOMS " I THINK SHE MEANT TO TELL ME SHE WAS WEARING HER "CROCS" TO SCHOOL NOT "CROTCHES"...LOL
WE TEND TO FORGET THESE LITTLE SAYINGS OR FUNNY HAPPENINGS BECAUSE WE GET SO CAUGHT UP WITH OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE AND YOU THINK YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM BUT WE DO FORGET. THE LITTLE THINGS THAT KIDS DO AND SAY ARE JUST SO DARN PRICELESS......
