Lagoon and Amazing Women



Madden has been writing to Lagoon ever since we went there last summer.  He has a million ideas he wants to share with them:).  They have been so kind to write him back each time!  They have even invited him to be one of the first riders on a new airplane ride in the Spring.

 I have taken on the huge task of being the PTP President.  These two women are the vice president and secretary, Daedre and Annie! They have been beyond amazing.  I could not do this without them!  They have brilliant ideas and are more than willing to help pull it all together!  I love that they are busy moms and school/community minded!  You can see that we work hard and have fun doing it!  So far we have hosting back to school night, sold t-shirts and water bottles, had an outdoor movie night, put on a Halloween carnival, and next up-Santa's Shop.  Thanks girls!!!

We took Randy's parents, Bridger, Bailey, and Max

 We had seats on the first row, pretty cool (although if you are thinking of going sit higher, you'll be able to see better)

I'm Updating My Blog, I Know it's Shocking!

The weather has turned.  We are home and inside for a whole day!  I am feeling slightly caught up on my little life, so I will update this blog!  My year is quaranteed to be crazy, so don't expect much.  I am not going to put any pressure on myself:)  I was completely uplifted by General Conference and now I am ready to be the mom/person I want to be!  After all, "this is what we were given time for"

Before the weather got cold, a bunch of friends went for one last hike in Hariman.
It was a great day and the kids all did great!  
The hike was just a mile and a half.  Max and Madden practically ran the whole thing.  There have been so many bears in the area and even an attack, so we were a little nervous.  We had a couple cans of bear spray and some kids had bear bells!  Every mom had a baby in a pack!  These moms are great and energetic about life!
