Fourth album, Fourth pic!!!

My cousin Brooke tagged me with this little project, so here it is....I know I am going to get crap from my dear sweet mom, she never likes any pics of herself!! Chill mom, you are beautiful and you and frump are so awesome and fun! Enjoy!

This is actually a pic of these two in Kentucky visiting Dylan and Ashley, but I stole it off Ash's blog........hey I wanted it!!

Twilight Frenzy...

I know I am behind the curve, but we went to see Twilight!!! We went the 2nd night it was out and boy was it crazy!! There are some crazy obsessed people!! But that's okay, it looked like all those obsessed people were having tons of fun!!

Oh and I have never witnessed such a dramatic reaction to a movie, I mean not even the Harry Potter movies!! I mean people either HATED it or loved it!! To all you people who detested it, go easy!! I mean come on it would be naive of me (or anyone else) to think it would be as great as the book, right?....and it was low budget! So I prepared myself before the crazy hype came, which helped me to just be chill and enjoy the movie for what it was! There were some cheesy parts that's for sure, but wasn't the book as well........that's what we like....that gushy gaging stuff! Edward was hot, Bella was way adorable and was the non-girly, shy, awkward Bella we all love from the book.

Well I guess I have finished sticking up for the movie.........here is a pre-movie picture at the Tibbitts', we were pretty happy to be all going to a movie together and Ash and April even got to leave Parker and Katie with the hubbies. YAY!!

A haunted night.....

So it's safe to say that the Carroll Spooktacular was amazing!! April put so much work into getting everything ready and planned...nice work seester, we had a blast!!


We enjoyed an awesome apple eating contest!! See for yourselves......


I have to say that I was a little skeptical about participating in this slobery contest....I have a problem with the contents of other people's mouths....I am slighlty a germ-a-phobe, even though kissing my sweet husband doesn't bother me, so I am weird. Anyway, April and Mard spent their minute in a half devouring their apple and then Mom and Monte.......I couldn't allow them to show us up now could I? Heck no!! So we put up a good fight! Jake was a ferocious apple muncher!


I could not stop laughing at these two....they were so crazy, Monte was in it to win it!!

Even though Jake and I fought to eat the most apple, Ashley and Dylan beat us by a tiny portion of apple skin.......dang it.....those ruiners!! Just kidding, they were awesome and won a gourmet candy apple for their great effort, it looked amazing!!

Those scurvy, rather clean looking pirates......that's a first. And of course they received the award for best couple costume.....I mean look at them, pretty sa-weet!!


Dylan was some kind of fierce, tough boxer and Ashley was this sweet and innocent doll, talk about opposites......they've got Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde going on


And of course Ron Burgundy couldn't live without his little "Red!" We were being pummeled with all kinds of lines from Anchorman all night, it was a crack up, he did a good job of looking and sounding like him......well that's not too hard since he has the whole movie pretty much memorized....WOW....that might be a little weird?


Unfortunately, in all the chaos I was unable to get Burger king (Markham) and Snow White pictured together (April). This was also one of the rare times Markham could wear his mask because Katie absolutely freaked when he had it on, I mean she was terrified, and if he talked while he had it on, forget it she was beside herself in terror!

Mard's costume was a complete surprise....only April knew what he was going to be, it was pretty freaking hilarious when he revealed himself!!

Here's that little Master Mind Snow White posing like such an innocent Disney princess......you don't beleive it do you?


Our dear sweet Pony came late, but she was sure a Tigress when she arrived, very fiesty!! What a hottie.....Grrrrrr......


Awwwwww......momma and seesters together!!


Little Parker was Katies strong, handsome groom......although I think he liked Grandpa's pirate costume better, he wouldn't let that hat out of his sight.......great idea for next year!


What awesome costumes guys........Yeah you look hot and manly!


The King, little princess bride, and Ron Burgundy


Doesn't he just look so much like Ron Burgundy? If you haven't seen Anchorman, you may be a little lost......but he is pretty much in love with that show and Will Ferrell!!

Um.......isn't Ashley suppose to be a sweet and innocent little doll? I'm confused....this looks like adult intertainment.....hmmmmm what a seductriss!

FAll Fun!!

The boys all playing in the Carroll's yard and letting little Parks in on some of the fun!!
They're playing the famous game of Bocce Ball-its a fav. past time with the boys!



Whenever Katie and Parks are together they love playing in the yard on this sweet little outdoor playset.....they go crazy....up and down, up and down the slide!









PuMpKiN CaRvInG!!!

Dylan and Jake kept saying how me and Ashley were slave drivers. I mean with all the pumpkin carving, pics and all, why wouldn't they-what babies right? But secretly I think they had some fun....and without the X-box even....is that really possible? They think they are such good actors.....but we see through them!


Some of our finished works of art.....you like?
Haunted house, spooky kitty and moonlight bats!!


Parkies sure had fun, didn't do any carving, which could have been a disaster, but he did have fun using the glue stick all over his pumpkin and everybody else's!!!!


Me and that silly Ash-she was amazing because she carved 2 pumpkins in the time it took everybody else to carve 1!!! She's a fast worker.....nice pumpkins guys!!


Deep in their work here!! Look at all those pumpkin insides.....um yeah
it was a bit of a mess, but very fun!


Parker just watching how mommy does it.......planning his own pumpkin!


Soon to come and look forward to: Carroll Spooktacular photos!!

Fun times at the Tibbitts' house!

We were all privileged to have Markham and April up in Logan for the day a little while back......poor Mard never gets away!! All of us had a blast! Ashley made us some mean meatballs, hats off to the chef!!

Dylan and April enjoying the patio....April clearly in mid sentence.....sorry sis


Here is our stellar cook for the night!! I am not much of a meatball fan, but these meatballs were.......were.......were.....there are no satisfactory words to describe how amazing they were!! Good job Ash!!


Katie and Parker just hanging out, I guess it looked more fun when we were doing it!! I swear, no lying, they do have tons of fun together.....even though Katie doesn't look so sure, what a funny!


The kids just love the backyard and want to be out there all the time, but us adults need to rest some time, right?


Katie loves to shake her booty!!

Labor Day Fun in Burley!!

Well, since the weather was....um.....frigid, no fun on the jet skis, but we found other ways to occupy our time! Ashley is like some sort of crazy puzzler now, so me, her and my momma put together a 1000 piece puzzle. Let me tell you what, this is not for the faint of heart....it was hard, there were like a million cats that looked the same? I know it doesn't make sense.

There was no question: We had to document our great accomplishment!! Kudos, good job ladies!!




Jake and Parker just hanging in our bedroom, I think Parker likes his Uncle Jake....what do you think?

Favorite activities.........

Parker and Katie love playing and just being around each other. Katie is so funny, she runs to greet Parker and just giggles!!! She is always trying to give Parker those sweet hugs and kisses.......pretty much adorable!!

This visit they decided to make beautiful music........well not really "beautiful", but they made a valiant (noisy) effort!!




oh score.....pretty shoes......


Scooting down the stairs was also a popular one! I think it was just an excuse to get closer to forbidden territory, aka, the upstairs!


Parker had so much fun with his cousin Katie, and of course his aunt Lindsey, he had a slight problem when dinner time came........
