Mike walking into the huge aircraft carrier.

Just as we were walking in. That aircraft carrier is so gigantic!

Red Bull Plane

Patriot Jets. For sure the coolest part. See the Red White and Blue smoke?

After this my fetching camera died and I didn't get to take any more pictures. There was way way more cool stuff to see. I was so upset.

La Caille

Last night we got to go to a dinner/ auction at La Caille. Mike's work was involved in it. It was a fundraiser for Boy Scouts of America and the PTA. They had a silent auction and a live auction and then they had dinner and dessert. We had a lot of fun. We got to get all dressed up since it was a black tie event. Mike wore a tux and I got to wear a pretty dress. Mike's boss Aaron had a friend come take pictures of all of us in their back yard so once I get some pics I will post them.

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

On Halloween we got to go trick or treating again with Nev and Skylar. Nev was Snow White and Skylar was a Pink Lady Bug. It was fun. They are getting better at saying trick or treat at the door. It is always a good time with those girls.

Art Show

We went to an Art Show in Salt Lake with the Dukes last week. We walked through quite quickly and then found this table in the back room and we sat back in the back for the rest of the time and played. ha ha while Papa Steve associated with all of his friends. He knows everyone everywhere we go with them. I wish I was that popular ha ha. It was fun playing with the girls.

Dinosaur Museum

Last week I got to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with Nevada and Skylar. It was so fun. I don't think they quite understood the whole point but they still had fun. They loved playing in the sand with the dinosaurs. Skylar is so funny, you walk around and she is constantly stopping to look around. She has to get it all in. She would stop and look up and go "wow" to all of the big dinosaurs and stuff hanging from the ceiling. She does this everywhere they go.

Frightmares

On Saturday Michael and I went to Lagoon with Zach a Christi and Nate and Maren. We had a blast! Sorry no pics with Nate and Maren. They had to leave early to get their precious baby Vanna. It was a fun day. Lagoon does this every year. They have most of the rides open, all but the water ones.... since it was freezing! And then they have 3 different Haunted Houses that you can go through and a little trick or treat walk through for the little ones. We try to go every year. This year my family went to Disney Land and Universal Studios for their Halloween Celebrations so we did it on our own this year. It was tons of fun! 

Wedding

Katie and Bo's Wedding

Saturday was Katie's wedding. (Michael's cousin) She married Bo Nagahi. The wedding was at the Grand America  Hotel in Salt Lake. We got to go to the ceremony and then they had a cocktail hour and a big dinner. I cannot say that I have ever been to a wedding like this but it was fun. There were tons of people there. It was gorgeous. They did a really good job. The wedding was beautiful. Congratulations Katie and Bo!

Fall

All of the leaves are changing so we decided to go for a little hike while we were up the canyon. This is my favorite time of year. When all of the leaves change, the mountains look like they are on fire. So beautiful.

Mountain Biking

I had the day off Saturday so Michael and I decided to go Mountain Biking. We went up to AF Canyon and rode the Salamander Trail. We had a blast. This was only my second experience with Mountain Biking so we had to go on a pansy trail. I am sure it wasn't super exciting for Mike but I think we still had fun. 

Shooting and Cutting Wood

On Sunday Mike and I went up West Canyon with Momma and Daddy Lamb. Mike and I shot the 22 don't you fret... I shot a can! Mike shot the rest though. We had a good afternoon with Shaun and Diane.

Boating

Last weekend we went out on Troy and Cheyanne's boat. Clayton and Kelsey came as well. We had a blast out on good old Utah Lake. The water was super choppy so we kinda just ended up tubing the entire time. Nice good relaxing time with good friends.

BMX Jam

Last night we went to a BMX Jam that was put on by Fuzzy Hall in his backyard. The Dew Tour is this week so all of the Pro's are in town, so they came and rode. The riders were by invitation only so we got to see some pretty amazing stuff up close and personal. And amazingly enough none of the riders were hurt. I was just waiting for something to happen. I am like ruined from the whole heel thing with Mike. I am a paranoid freak now! It was a lot of fun. We even got to sit right behind the girl that was interviewing all of the guys for Fuel TV. We sat literally right behind her. Listened to all of her comments and watched all of the guys give their comments on the event. I think Mike was in heaven, accept when one of the riders kept checking me out. I think that kinda bothered him. ha ha All in all it was a great night. Away from school and away from work!

Riding the Cycle

The Duke's have this old motorcycle that they keep in their garage in their back yard and Skylar loves it! She loves to go for rides on it.

Skylar and Uncle Mike

We went to Nordstrom Rack and Sklar came with us and there are these little fountains out in front. Skylar just couldn't stay away. She kept running up to them and screaming and then backing away. She is so cute! Then she just wanted uncle Mike to pick her up so she could play in it. We tried to keep her dry bit of course she left sopping wet.

American Fork Canyon with the Lamb Family's

Rob and Lisa... and baby Sean. (She is due Aug. 30! Our first Nephew! YAY!)
Mike thought he was being funny snapping pictures while I was having a serious conversation with his mother about grocery shopping. ha ha
Rob and Bruno

River Rafting

Michael went river rafting last friday. They went down by Moab. Just a one day trip but he loved it. He lives for that kind of stuff. He went with his boss Aaron and a bunch of friends. 

West Canyon with the Dukes

Nev holding Ella. She loves that dog!
Skylar kept picking up handfuls of dirt and rubbing it in her hair and then she would just look over at all of us and just laugh at herself. It was so stinkin cute!
Skylar and Nev were in the back of the truck and were lovin the marshmallows. Skylar kept eating them and kissing herself in her reflection on the windows.
The girls wandering around looking for cows. It was such a fun night!
