Taylor and Matthew in their Sunday dress. Don't they look just so darn cute and grown up. Matthew looks good in his suit. But he told Nana and Grandpa that he wanted to wear his comfortable clothes. Taylor looks so pretty in her dress. They received these clothes from Nana and Grandpa for Christmas.

Taylor's first dance recital with LA Dance. She did a wonderful job and had a blast and says that she still wants to do it. She loves dancing.

Taylor and Matthew had a lot of fun on the camping trip. They really enjoyed sitting around the camp fire at night and sleeping in a trailer.

Taylor learning how to shot a bebee gun. Nervous at first but got used to it.

Matthew shooting at cans with Uncle Brian. He had a blast. He keeps telling me that he wants me to buy a truck and trailer so that we can go camping again. He really enjoyed being outdoors like that. I guess he is like me. I liked being outdoors also.

The kids first camping trip. We went to the area that we always went when us girls were kids and we would go hunting with Grandpa and Uncle Brian. Most of you might recognize the people but I will list them also from left to right. There is Grandma, Uncle Brian, Kelly, Kyle, Emelie, Trent, Sabastian, Taylor and Matthew. Uncle Brian painted the trailer to match his pick up truck. He did an awesome job doing it.

A picture of our trip in California right before we went into LegoLand. Which I will always think is a blast to visit. Next time we go to California we will definitly be visiting there again. Even if the kids are too old.

Matthew not very happy because we wouldn't let them go shopping yet.

Friday I went to lunch with mom, Heather, Stephanie, Braeden and Lexee. Something that we haven't done in a long time. The morning started out with me going to the Halloween Parade at the kids school. I took pictures of them in their custumes. Taylor was a witch and Matthew was a Red Power Ranger.

Saturday morning was a usual weigh in at weight watchers. Mom and Dad both lost but I gained. I didn't doubt it with the stress that I was under this week where I did eat a lot more sweets or the carmel apples just caught up with me from the vacation. But oh well. Then for a punishment for Taylor and Matthew I had them go to Grandma's and rack the front yard with all of the leaves. Which they didn't do a too bad of a job. Saturday night I met Brandi, Sandie and Brittany at Applebees for a dinner to celebrate my birthday. I would consider them all good friends of mine. I really enjoy spending time with them. And actually doing some adult talking.

Sundy morning I got up and actually went to church. Which I seldom do anyway. But I went to a blessing of my cousins baby, Braxton. Then my mom made a really nice birthday dinner of Salmon, Baked Potatoes, Squash. She also made this really good crab dip. She made my favorite deseret of Almond Pie. Which is one of my all time favorite deseret. Then Matt and Richard put together the girls doll houses. Matt loves to put things together. He is really good about that. Well another year and I don't feel like a day older.
