Wolf Creek





We just spent a great weekend with good friends up at Wolf Creek. The first night was with the adults only. Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law for watching the girls. We started the night with some Mexican food at a restaurant in Eden and then headed up to the condos to check-in. First thing on the agenda was the hot tub. There were quite a bit of people already there so we just crammed in with them. Then it was back to the room. We spent the rest of the night playing games and laughing our heads off. We finally fell into our beds at 2am. We felt like we were young again. The next morning was a scrumptious breakfast and then home to pick up the kiddos.
We all arived back at about 4pm and once again the first thing on the list was the hot tub. (The pool wasn't open due to weather) We made sure the kids weren't in for long periods of time but Paige still managed to turn bright red from the heat. She opted to get out early so I took her back and gave her a bath. The rest of the gang made there way back and then it was time for a yummy dinner of pizza. The adults were winding down so we set the kids up with a movie and popcorn in the bedroom while the adults vegged on the couch. That night, we felt our true age. We were not meant to stay up for all hours of the night!!! We all hit the sack and a couple hours later, we woke up to Ashley crying. Not usual for her so I ran to her bed and just as I picked her up, she puked all over me. Poor thing had eaten way too much crap the night before. This went on a couple of more times within the hour and then she finally settled down and went to sleep. Thank goodness for daylight savings. The next morning brought on another yummy breakfast and then we all loaded up to head home. We had such a terrific time and are once again reminded how lucky we are to have such great friends. We missed you - Jen and Jill!!!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a little rough for our family this year. Both of the girls were sick. Paige had a cough and Ashley had an ear infection with a little croup thrown in. Needless to say, Scott and I stayed home from our adult party on Friday and watched a halloween show on tv with Paige. The next day we were all pretty lazy and got ready for trunk or treating right before it started. The girls looked so cute. Paige was really excited to wear a little makeup and she has the most beautiful long eyelashes that popped with mascara on them. We trunk or treated at the ward, running out of candy just as the rain storm hit. Then it was off to Grandma Roberts for a quick hi. Once again, we came home and watched a halloween show on TV with Paige. Then Scott and I watched our own TV show. Although we weren't able to get out and play with our friends and neighbors, we still had a fun Halloween. (The picture of Paige with the stickers all over her costume was from her Halloween party at preschool!)
