Tonight was the Light Parade in Kaysville. I am not to big on parades but its family bondage ( or family time for those you don't like that phrase). And thank goodness it only about 10 minutes long unlike the 4 of July's 2 hour long parade. Thanks Dad for hanging out with us,

Erika invited us to go sledding. All I can say is I need to go and get better winter gear. I have stuff for the boys well most of it but as for me and Raider we got nothing. Parker wanted nothing to do with the cold, so we sat in the car in the warmth. Thanks Erika for braving the cold and entertaining Connor.

GUESS WHAT?????

Many of you know but for those who don't I ran my half marathon today. Carrie and I froze. I had on two pairs of pants and 3 shirts and a jacket. We did warm up but let me tell you even though blood is flowing through your body and makes you warm it never makes it to your bum. As you can see on my watch it took us 2 hours and 34 minutes and we burned 1675 calories. We had Thanksgiving at my Mom's this year. The food was delicious as well as the pie. After dinner Delaine and Great Grandma Stahle and I played a matching game.

Parker helped my mom make whip cream. He quite enjoyed cleaning up.

This is the second year that Stacie and I have gone to Inkley's to take Halloween pictures. You get a free 4x6. Connor is Optimus Prime( not sure on spelling) and Parker is a dragon. We tried with out the sucker didn't work once he got it he went over and sat down. As some of you know Connor like Transformers. Every time he see a yellow Camaro he thinks it is Bumble bee. He yells Sam and kayla. Young's is across the street form Inkley's and he saw the yellow Camaro. What do you all think he said? Yep " It's Bumble Bee it's Bumble Bee Sam Kayla". I should have been prepared and taken my camera. I could have taken his picture by the Camaro. I wonder what kind of looks we would have got from the sales man.

It was just one of those moments that you just have to capture. Connor is "reading" to Parker. It is entertaining when you read a book that Connor likes and then he wants to read it himself

I saw this on Studio 5 and thought how fun. My friend has a big vinyl machine, so I thought she could help me out. It turns out that the file would not work with the machine so we had to cut it out by hand. Good times!
I just had to take a picture of this. Parker is starting to imitate Connor more and more each day.

The other day I heard Connor and Parker screaming score and then giggling followed by more screaming. So I went in to see what they were doing and found this. They are on their beds throwing a ball on the opposite bed and yelling score. Not quite sure why the took their shirts off maybe Uncle Wayne has something to do with this.

I love to hike, so I told Carrie that I wanted to hike instead of run. I have been up Adams Canyon numerous times but never to the top. The waterfall was worth the extra few minutes of hiking. I wasn't sure how far we would make it because of Connor. He is a ball of energy but you just never know with this kid. He did great he hiked the whole thing!

We went to Lagoon with Lulu to celebrate her day on Friday night. The boys are getting more adventurous with rides. I am grateful for the cousins taking Connor on the rides for me. I don't do rides like I used to .
