Weekend in Oregon

Last weekend Ike and I flew to Portland for Mandy and Mike's wedding. It was amazing weather the entire time. Cathy and Jim Gibbs had us stay with them till Saturday and then spent Saturday night at my moms. The wedding was beautiful and it was great to see old friends. I wasn't very good about having my camera with me but I did get a few pictures of our weekend. We had so much fun but were very excited to get back home to Coleman. We can't wait to go back and visit again soon.

We got to see Grandpa Jim too! We love you!

This was just a cute picture I took earlier in the week. He loves his backyardigans!

St. George

Coleman, Ike, and myself got the chance to go to St. George with Austin, Richard and Ethan. Richard and I ran the Snow Canyon half marathon. It was gorgeous and so much better than I thought it would be. We had so much fun and the little boys were so well behaved. They had their moments but over all were great. We got in Friday night, ran Saturday morning and had the rest of Saturday and Sunday to enjoy St. George. We were able to stop and see the St. George temple and view the Brigham Young home. It was gorgeous! We couldn't figure out why the temple didn't have an angel Moroni but I guess there are 8 others that also do not have an angel Moroni. Some are just built without. Anyways..enjoy the pics!

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. We got to take our little Ike out trick or treating. He was our future pro golfer..old school style! We started off the week at Gardener Village with the Radford girls, and Nuttal family. All the little ones dressed up, Hannah was a princess and Ethan was a little Edward Vampire. They all looked so cute! Halloween we started off trick or treating with the Linthorst kids. Then we headed out to Wes and Page's house for dinner and games. We had so much fun! We can't wait for next year!









Hannah and Ike. I love the smiles in this picture!


Cutest little Edward ever!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we all went out to a pumpkin patch by Wes and Page's house. It was so much fun to take Ike for his first pumpkin hunt. We went with Amelia, Page, and Wes and came out with some great pumpkins. Unfortunately this weekend they were stolen from our front porch. So sad! We are still going to have a great Halloween and can't wait for this Friday to get here! Hope everyone has a fun Halloween! Can't wait to see all the costumes!


Ike loved the tractors

Isaac turns ONE!

Our little Ike is ONE! We can't believe it, a whole year has passed. Oct 24Th, 2007 our little Ike was born at 7:13pm. We had a family celebration for him on Friday. It was so much fun to have everyone there to celebrate his special day. We had a ball theme party for him since balls are his favorite toy lately. It was so much fun to see everyone . Our little Ike was quite spoiled but can't get enough of all his new toys and clothes. I might have to take Rachel's advice and hide a few of the toys for and bring them out later. Thank you all for coming!

Tricky Treat!

A few weeks ago Adrianne showed me this really cute recipe for mini caramel apples. I decided to test them out and see how they held up. They turned out so cute and so yummy. I had chocolate dipped, peanut butter dipped, white chocolate dipped, and caramel dipped apples. I rolled them and drizzled them with everything yummy. I stumbled upon one problem...why didn't the caramel stay on the apples? It slid off to puddle at the base of the apples. I believe they won't stick because there are no skins on the apple. I used a melon baller to get the tiny apple. Everything else took very well. Anyone have any advice on keeping the caramel on the apple? They are very delicious and were fun to make.
