My parents celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary a few weeks ago! They are such good parents and a great example for all us. We had family pictures taken in September and we had been waiting for them to come back from the photographer. (* Just a note that Highlite photography, located in Gardner Village, are just way awesome! They were wonderful to work with.).
In my parents living room was our last family portrait and grandkids pictures surrounding it on one of the walls. But only half of the grandkids were up because when more came along my mom didn't have anymore matching frames.
So as a surprise Anniversary present, the siblings decided to makeover my parent's living room while they were in St. George last week. I worked with Mindy at Highlite to see if the portraits would be done in time and told her our secret plans.
The pictures came in while the parents were gone so Tara and I re-arranged pretty much everything in the room and a big thanks to Brian (Tara's husband) for helping us hang the pictures. My parents came home and were sooo thrilled to see everything hung up on the wall. They have done so much for us that it made us happy to do something for them in return. We love you Mom and Dad and here is to many more great years together!
(My pictures below aren't that great but they give you the general idea)
Having a place to go is HOME - Having someone to love is FAMILY - Having both is a BLESSING -

Halloween part two
Carlin and her "nerd" peeps except for Taylor who I guess didn't get the memo - J/K. She was an 80's exercise girl. They are all such great girls! My son pretty much ran out the door to go with his friends before I could get a picture. I know he did it on purpose :) . . . . anything to get out of a picture.

Birthday/Halloween Party
Since Halloween can be hectic every year my Mom has a cute Halloween party for all the grandkids so we can see everyone in their costumes. We order pizza and let the kids play Halloween games, paint pumpkins, etc. Caden and my sister Tara both have birthdays in October so we celebrated at the Halloween party too. As usual, all the kids looked really cute. My kids are getting older but they are good sports to dress up and participate in the party with the smaller cousins.
The next day we had another birthday party for Caden with Dustin's family - Geesh multiple parties, multiple presents - Lucky!!
