The Scoresby Halloween Party 2011

We love traditions!

Especially this time of year.

Uncle Ebay and Aunt Kristel always host a family Halloween Party.

It just gets better and better every year.

Its a blast for all.

Aunt Kristel spends a ton of her time planning and preparing for this fun night.

Uncle E-his decorations are way uber cool.

Their costumes are fab!

Aleah and Joshua were Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc.

We had a few cons.

Shaggy

A cool 70's dude. (Richard let loose-it was hilarious)

Suz the hoola girl and her coconut shells.

  A dancing fireman.  AND this fireman can really dance.  He is not much into scarry!

A cute little esquitarian

Ash and her horse "Snickers"

Not sure what Amber was-but she looked great!

The kiddos- minus Meg, Mikayla, Conner, Claire, Rafe, Holland,

Cadie and Jake

A scarry reaper.

We played some way fun games- Pass the Pumpkin, A treasure hunt for the kids, Killer Wink and piniata.

We had some great winners for costumes and food.

Great night!

Thanks Evan and Kristel!

Fall Break in Utah

We had a totally fun fall break this past weekend!  We went up to the canyon for one last hoorah.

Had a fun picnic and went on a hike.

Mace was crazy!  Water was freezing and yet he still got in.

These girls are just beautiful.  What can I say. 

We did some Halloween crafts.

Watched "Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".

We went to Cornbelly's and had a BLAST!

Those are my kids clear across the field on that bridge.  I was lost from them.

The little dude driving a tractor.  LOVE his neon green socks.

He was sure it would help us find him if he got lost.

Here is my sweetie-watching the kids play corn ball.

We went through mazes, went on hay rides. (Steve tweaked his back), watched the kids play on the jumping toys.  Yep loads of fun.

Spent a nice quiet Sunday at home. 

Witchie Palooza

The witches are out at Gardner Village. We joined them.

We were not as witchy as some of the women,

but we sure had fun watching them.

Barb got a little frisky with this frightful guy.

I love hanging with my sisters.  They are some of my favorite people in the world.

The crowds were crazy and the costumes were fun.

We ate at Archibalds with all of the other zillion witches.

We had a fabulous time.

Look Whos 40!

   Suzi has a birthday--Shout HOORAY!

Look whose turning 40 on this  great day!

One year older and wiser too

Happy Birthday SUZI- TOO YOU!

Barb planned an amazing 40th Birthday for Aunt Suzi.   It was a surprise and totally awesome.  The great part is that no one spilled the beans and it really was a surprise!  The kids were excited.  We had a few practices of being quiet before she arrived.  It was great.  Barb did a great job in planning, and I think Suz had a great night. We were sad that our Arizona cousins werent there, but there was lots of laughter, good food, and fun.

This is what happens.....

Eight girl cousins get togther and over-run the boys!

As Mace would say- Oh the PAIN!

Who am I foolin, they loved the attention!

Paigey Bunny Turns 8

We love our little niece Paige.  She turned 8 and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  What a great day to be baptized.  We are proud of you Paigey buns.

Aunt Kim, Uncle Troy, Brooke, Sabina, Malerie and Paige.

(I love her cute pink bunny shrug)

Future Missionaries

Braxton, Carson, and Mason

FALL Brings....

 Fall brings BYU football which means we get to spend a little time with the grandparents!  I love this photo of Mace riding bikes with Grandpa.  I love that Grandpa still thinks hes a kid.

I love that Mom gets to come visit and hang out while the boys are all at the game.

WETNESS

Spring in Utah this year was to say the least- WET!  It felt like it was cold and rainy and dreary all spring.

I went as a chaperone on Masons end of year field trip- (In May) to the Hogle Zoo.  It rained and rained.  The kids were wet and cold, and then it began to SNOW!  Needless to say it was a rotten,cold, trip.  The animals didnt come out and we had to make it a short day.   

But at the end of the storm there is alway a rainbow. 

14---Really?

Yes our little girl turned 14 this year.  She is beautiful.  She is smart.  She is funny.  She can dance.  She loves to read.  She loves the gospel.  She loves to hang with her besties.  She loves movies.  She has her Daddy tied around her little finger.  She holds a BIG place in her Daddy's heart.  She loves writing.  She LOVES to sleep.  She loves her life.  We LOVE her!  Happy 14th Birthday Mikayla. 

All she wanted for her birthday was to have her friends over to roast weenies and make smores.  They played games, giggled and had a blast.  She is blessed to have such great, strong examples for friends.

(Emma, Mikayla, Joanie, and Nicole)

Making her wish!

**Did I mention that she got a TON of books for her birthday. She was HAPPY.

Arizona

In the dance world we sometimes get to travel. This season has been no exception.  Knowing that we were going to New York City, Mikayla had to pre-qualifiy all of their dance numbers.  There are only so many spots per catagory at each regional city.  Well we had to get the trio qualified, and so Arizona was the last city that was close enough for us to go.   So I took Mikayla and Emilee Clark and Megs and we drove to Phoenix for a long weekend.   Essy and her mom flew.

While we were in Arizona we stayed with the Boltz family.  Megan loved spending time with Logan in the pool.

These 3 lovely ladies spent their time rehearsing and dancing.  LOVE the blue shadow!

They did their trio- "Walk the Line". Choreographed by Janalyn Memmott.

They are a little sassy, but their costumes ROCKED!

What am I saying? They ROCKED!  They got a platinum award. Yeah baby they came and did their job-plus some.  We were proud.  Have I ever mentioned that Mikayla is a beast before she competes.  BUT when she is done-she is awesome. She is in the zone on comp days. 

We got to see our Aunt Nen and Cousin Claire.  It was fun!  We drank some

Starbucks, and the girls rode the escalators.  It was uber fun to see them.

My crashed out babies on the long car ride home.

Thanks for the amazing weekend in April Mikayla, Megan and Mem!
