Family Pictures

We have taken family pictures on Escadilla every year when the leaves turn since I can remember. This year was bitter sweet, we took them a little earlier than we usually do because Kellin was leaving Oct 1 and this will be the last picture with our whole family until he gets home. It was really bright outside so they didn't turn out that great but I'm glad to have them!

Taking Kellin to the MTC

My family went to Provo on Monday to take Kellin to the MTC. It is a LONG drive, especially with two bratty girls. We took two cars my mom, dad and Kellin in one car and me, Tessa, Tae and Adi in the other! Ya we got the shaft! Anyway on Tuesday we went and walked around Temple Square and took a tour of the Conference Building and watched the movie Legacy in the visitors center. The Salt Lake Temple and all the buildings around it are absolutely beautiful! Then on Wednesday Kell had to be to the MTC at one so we went to breakfast and me and Tessa decided that it would be easier for Kellin to say bye to us at the motel, it didn't really matter where the goodbye took place it was still hard! I think that walking around the temple and watching Legacy really helped us feel better about leaving him. I am so proud of him and he is going to be such a good missionary! I can't wait for him to get to Naga to start getting letters from him! It was really hard but a truly amazing experience!

TuTu Cute!

So I saw a picture of Britney Garners little girl on her blog in a TuTu that Britney made! Ally looked very unhappy in her TuTu and my first thought was that is exactly what Adi would look like if she was wearing a TuTu! She is not at all the girl I thought I would have, she hates earrings, bows, dresses, and basically everything else that is girly. But I fell COMPLETELY in love with that little TuTu and I had to have one even if I could only get one picture in it! And just as I thought Adi is not a big fan! It is so freakin cute though I'm going to keep trying. I talk it up every time we see it I say, "Oh Adi there is your sooo cute TuTu, I love it! If you ware it I'll take your picture! Ya I'm pathetic I know! Oh crap the best part of the whole story... Ganon came home from school just as I finished the TuTu and he asked who it was for and I said Adi and he saw some more material and asked who that was for and I said I'm going to make Tae one too, he said can I try Tae's on? I said no its a TuTu for girls and he said (totally bummed out) Well can you make me a MAN suit! I thought I was going to pass out from laughing! Thanks for the cute idea Britney!

Fishing

Our friend Donny from Philadelphia has been here this week for his elk hunt. He killed an elk the second day he was here and he wasn't planning on flying out until Friday. Everyone had to go back to work and Donny was pretty bored, so me and Adi took him to Greer to fly fish. It was fun, me and Adison fed the ducks while Donny fished. When he caught a fish Adi got so excited, she even touched it!

The Races

Lance was at Ganon's soccer game on Saturday and he was telling him that there was going to be DIRT BIKES at the races that night. When Ganon got home that was ALL he talked about, so I had to take him! We had a blast like always! I love the races! Ganon LOVED the dirt bikes, Keanon took him down to get the guys autographs. He put the picture that they signed in a frame in his room! He kept telling me "those cars are fast!" He was so tired but he hung in until the end. I'm afraid, like all of us once you've been once, He's HOOKED!!! Good Luck to Richie next week! I hope we get to go again!

Daddy's Girl

I had to work today, covering a shift. Jace doesn't usually have to work Friday so I had just planned on him watching Adi but he had a small job in St.Johns. He was going to leave her with my dad but he was on the mountain so he TOOK her to work! When I got home she was filthy! Jace said she was so funny, she just followed him around and carried his tools for him. She is such a daddy's girl, and he is so cute with her! I love it!

Josh & Britney Crick

I have been slacking lately, but the only thing I have been doing the past couple months is helping Britney plan her wedding. She married Josh Crick on September 13 in the Snowflake Temple, and I am so happy for her! Everything turned out perfect. I took thier engagement pictures and some pictures to use for her centerpieces but I was so busy at the reception I totally forgot to take pictures! So here are a few of the engagement pictures! Congratulations Josh and Britney, I love you guys!
