For preschool, teacher Natalie took the kids to santaquins red barn to the pumpkin patch! My thought it was so cool. Derek and mom came along and Derek LOVED it! He thought he was a big kid! It was so nice to break up our day! So much fun!

So I'm a bad mom and forgot to take my camera on Dereks first haircut! This is probably his 4th! He does really good for Lori! He knows that aunt Lori cuts his hair. Had to get some picture even though it's not a first!

So I didn't take my camera out much, but Layne decided to surprise me and take me to park city for our anniversary. It was our 10th so he went and rented a mustang and came and picked me up! I was laughing my head off. He was out in the garage reving it up and I couldn't figure out what he was doing! We I saw it I just was laughing at him! He said we had to have something different to remember our 10yr! We went for an overnighter to park city. We went up and ate at Carvers then headed to the hotel. Such a fun and nice night. I think I have one of the best husbands. He is SO good to me!

One of our St. George trips. I have been super bad at taking pictures. We decided this trip to head out to sand hallow. The kids LOVED it! Dad is always a good sport and does everything with them.
