The Little Monsters...........I mean Superheros

It sure is nice to be trick or treating in warm weather again!

5 and 10

My Boys are 5 and 10.  What can I say.....besides WHERE DID THE TIME GO? 

Oh, and thanks boys, for choosing a place the whole family likes to celebrate your birthdays. 

You two are the best!

I ran 12 miles today.

That's all I wanted to say.  Cause I'm a pretty big wimp.  So 12 miles is a lot for me. And I've never done that before.  Well not all at one time anyway.  And that's all.

White Sands

Man I love Saturdays.  Especially Saturdays when we just get to hang out and do something fun.  So we headed out to one of our favorite places out here.  White Sands. 

It's easy to see why we love this place. 

And the weather was perfect this Saturday.  Not too hot, not too windy.  

And the fact that Dad plays like a kid doesn't hurt either. 

It almost makes the endless amounts of sand in the van, house, bathtub, and washing machine worth it. 

 Ok fine.  We'll go back.  Probably next month.  Until next time...............

The Whettens and the not bummer summer

The only bummer about summer is that it is over.................and here we are..........back at school. BOO! (1st, 3rd and 4th grade)

But BEFORE that, we had a very busy/fun summer.

In a nutshell:

Sienna turned one:

Macy turned 3:

Who knew that a 3 year old would be afraid of Rapunzel hair that lights up?????

Hailey was baptized in Utah with her cousin Jamison:

How nice was it that the Farnes drove all the way down to the baptism to have to turn right around and go back. Thank you Farnes!

We went to the Whetten Family reunion in Bear Lake.

And many many more things that aren't pictured............because some forgot to take pictures.................that person will remain nameless (ME!)

Not pictured:
2 trips to Lagoon
Planet Play
The Mayan
Hollywood Connection
A couple of birthday parties
Bowling
The Lemonade stand
Numerous family parties/dinners
The nasty Diet Shasta Rootbeer drinking game
Miniture golfing
Cousin sleepover
Swimming
Trips to the park
Tons of cousin time
"Spy school"
"A Taste of the Past" theater night
Wow, what did I forget????

Man I love summer!!!!!

ONE

Really? Has it been a year since this................

Wow. That went fast. Can't say I'd like to rewind. Nosiree. I'm plenty glad to be on this side.

You see.....this here Whetten clan has turned a corner.

No more being sick for 9 months. No more nursing. No more painful recoveries.

No more baby blues.......and no more worrying about the next one getting here safely. We are just enjoying the little one. The 6th one sure is a lot of fun. The older 5 love everything she does.

For instance, I didn't know that sitting in the little lion camping chair could be so entertaining. It sure kept Garrison, Hailey, Jackson and Macy entertained for a while. Maybe I ought to try sitting in this chair when I need everyone to pay attention to what I am saying.

And there is nothing like a sleeping baby.......especially when she falls asleep in her high chair.....holding her bottle straight out.

So the next question is "What will it be like to have a toddler without a brand new baby?????" I don't personally know. But I'm about to find out. =)

Happy First Birthday Sienna! And Happy First Birthday to the Mama too!
