Wisconsin 2009

We were in Wisconsin from Nov. 5-15th, for Dan's sister Sarah's wedding. We flew into Milwaukee & stayed a few days there to be with her. We also stayed one night at Dan's uncle Scotty's house. On Saturday Dan's mom & sister, Sam, drove a hour an a half from Beaver Dam (a very small town) to Milwaukee so we could all go to Discovery World. That was fun and afterwards we went to get dinner. They didn't have a kids menu so we ordered a side of mac and cheese for Carter & it was so good! Everyone was taking bites! Then on Sunday we headed down to Grandma's house & had lots of fun till the wedding on Saturday. We went to the park on the lake, had a bonfire in Grandma's backyard, colored, played with play-doh, went to Dan's friends house, made cupcakes & played with there kids, went to a Wildlife Sanctuary, visited Sadie at her new apartment, went to O'ma & O'pa's, celebrated Sarah & O'ma's birthdays, etc.... Then on Saturday Nov. 14th Dan's sister Sarah married Steve. It was a beautiful wedding and Carter did a good job at being the ring bearer! The reception had good food, cupcakes, & dancing. We had a lot of fun on our trip & hope that Grandma comes to Vegas soon to see our world! Thanks again to everyone for letting us crash at your house & having fun with us!

Halloween

I know this is really overdue but cut me some slack we just got back from Wisconsin & I've been sick. We had a good Halloween. The night before we went to our neighbors party & had a great time. My neighbor is too cute & goes all out! Then on Halloween we went to Lake Las Vegas & trick or treated around the stores. There aren't that many stores, so then we went to the District which is an outdoor shopping mall. It was packed so I wanted to go door to door but Dan thought this was safer so we stayed & got a lot of candy. Then we got some dinner & went home.

This was Carter when we first got to the party. It took him awhile to warm up.

The Policeman & Super Why.
What a good looking cop!

The cop & Mr. Incredible.

We just threw candy on the floor for a free for all! The kids were young, they didn't mind.

The Ranch

My sister Emily & my parents were in town a couple of weekends ago. We had a lot of fun, thanks again mom & Em for helping me find a dress, even if I found the right one after you guys left. These are the only pictures I took while they were here. We went to check out a ranch that was here in Vegas that my dad read about in the paper. I didn't really want to go but my dad says we never want to do what he does, so we went. I think when the day was over my dad was wishing we wouldn't have done what he wanted! It was a hot day, the petting zoo smelled so bad, & we watched a terrible show! I guess we had fun though since we were together & that's all that matters!

Papa & Carter.

All of us.
Em being crazy. I think this would make a nice profile pic on Facebook!
Carter had to copy.

I love Swans, maybe it has something to do with the movie The Notebook.

I heart fall.

I absolutely love this time of year! I love the Halloween decorations, the cool weather, the pants, the scarves, the coats, the yummy candles, & the holidays! To kick off the fall season we went to the pumpkin patch the first weekend in October with my parents. We went a little too early, they didn't have some rides & games set up. We will be going again & hopefully we will get to go to the real pumpkin patch on a farm in St. George. So enjoy the pics.

I told him to smile & this is what he gave me.
