5 Years Ago...

Dallin, "the superhero" and Clara, "the Princess," were born.  We had friend parties this year and I decided to have them both at the same time!  It was crazy and fun!  We had about 15 various superheros and princess along with my 5 children and about 15 adults for the party!  We ate and played and made crowns and necklaces and superhero masks and superhero cuffs and ran and played...
It was great fun and the kids seemed to enjoy it!  I don't know if this will be repeated yearly.  I was one tired mama!

Dallin's superhero room.  Mason made the telephone booth for the superheroes to come out of (think superman!)

The superhero spread!

The only picture I got of Dallin...he would not stay still...he was running and fighting bad guys along with his fellow superheroes!
Clara's princess room!  We had crowns and wands for all the princesses!

All of our princesses!  Boy was there a lot of girly girls at this party!  They were more than happy to pose for a princess picture!

Happy 5th Birthday Dallin and Clara!

Loving fall!









I love fall!  The colors are gorgeous and the temperature is perfect!  We are not going to have many more fall days here in SLC, so we took a family walk on Sunday in our Sunday clothes (much to Clara's chagrin!) The kids loved the leaves and we convinced them to take a couple of pictures along the way!  I have come to terms with the fact that I will NEVER have a perfect family photo for years to come!  There is always one or more children facing the wrong way or crying or acting silly!  This is our family and we love them!
