We are just about ready to go out for the night, just thought I would post these pics for my mom in Utah, who won't be here to see the girlies. We just took some fun pictures at Kiddie Kandids today. Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween..more pics to come!
144 Popcorn Balls made by Skyler, Kip, & Me!
So the reason why we went to the fair on Sat. was because we had VIP seats to see Demi Levato perform. It was filled with little school age girls screaming and yelling (sky was a good sport). For those of you who don't know who Demi is she is like a famous performer on the Disney Channel; equal to the Jonas Bros. She starred in Camp Rock with them. Anyways, Mckenzie loved it, and I thought she was a great perfomer for her age!
She actually sang to Mckenzie a few times and held her hand and tossed her hair....she thought that was so cool!
Not quite old enough to know what is going on yet! But she sure is cute!
So every year since living here in Fresno we try to make it to the "Big Fresno Fair". Last year we went only to see Chris Daughtry perform. This year we thought the girls would like it. And they did, we went on a Sat. and it was super crowded.
Of course you have to try the fair food, this sign made me laugh everything was fried. This monster dog that we got was good the first few bites and then not so much (look at the size of that thing?)
Mckenzie got to pick four rides to go on after Skyler tried four times to try and win her a goldfish, that never happened. She had a hard time getting on the first ride since parents we not allowed to ride, but after she loved it and wanted more....
You would think she would be riding the colossus or something with her hands up like that!
when your livin' in a van down by the river.... Kaylee would not get out of the drivers seat of this cool shaggin wagon. She thought she owned it!
This was Mckenzie's favorite station. The Pizza Factory. She loved making the pizzas and taking orders and using the cash register, I had to pry her away from it to go and see what else was there to look at.
When we discovered the medical room, Mckenzie loved playing with the skeleton and all of the medical equipment.
This is my first choice of best family picture because I love the background with the wagon. The only thing that I am not too crazy about is Kenzie's face in this picture. But I must say we will always remember her at that age being such a diva.
This is my moms favorite family pic because we are all smiling. I like it too, it's so hard to choose.
I just love my gals..can't get enough of them!
My beautiful little sis. She is so amazing and I look up to her so much. She has so much strength and can get through anything that life throws at her.

(Like mother like daughter)I love that Kaylee and I have the exact same hair cut right now..
One of the main reasons why we came out to Utah was so that I could go to my friends wedding. Her name is Lindsay and if you don't know her she is a hard person to describe because she has so many great qualities about her. We first met in high school we had mutual friends and we just connected. We were roommates @ SUU for a semester and then I decided to ditch college life and get married. I feel so old thinking that I have been married for 6 years. Anyways, it was such a pleasure to see her on her wedding day. Her dinner was beautiful and the words that were said from her family and friends were priceless. It was the perfect night for the perfect bride & groom. Seeing them reminded Skyler and I of when we were first married. I love ya Linds, thanks for always being such a great friend. Have fun on that Honeymoon....
This is one of her bridals..i took it from her blog (hope you don't mind, it's too precious)
This was the first time that Skyler has ever wore cowboy boots..i think he looked pretty good!

When we were in Utah we had the chance to go horseback riding with our friends Marc & Casey. His parents have a ranch out in Spanish Fork. We had so much fun we can't stop talking about it. We aren't as outdoorsie as we would like to be, so this was such a fun experience. I can't even remember the last time I rode a horse. I was so nervous so they gave me the slow blind horse that wouldn't take off if his life depended on it. Skyler on the other hand was on the nervous horse. He had a little scare, but it turned out to be alright. I must say it was very relaxing and peaceful to be out in the country on a horse. The morning after I did feel like I had given birth again...that was my only complaint! The girls had a blast and they love the outdoors!
Skyler was able to spend time with Brock a high school buddy!
For Mckenzie's Birthday party we decided to have a "Fancy Nancy" Birthday party. If anyone has not read these books, I highly recommend them. They are so fabulous. We had a fun day with lots of little "fancy nancies" that came. My favorite part was the cake. My friend Yanni made it, and it was a hit. Thanks so much Yanni for helping me put this together. Also thanks to Skyler who did the dinner part of the party. We had a great day and now we are off to Utah..to see all of our family and friends there. Happy Birthday Mckenzie we love you so much and we are so happy that you are in our family!
