Double Sleepover

Ava and Kinly

Ava and Jamis niece, Kinly, are a year apart and i thought it would be fun to have a sleepover with them both. We got pizza, bought yummy cupcakes, painted nails, watched a movie, and they had tons of fun jumping onto the bean bag. The next morning Ava and I ran to the store for donuts and she wanted to wear a wig. She got a lot of comments and a worker there thought it was real. (well, yes of course lets dye a 5 year olds hair black with purple and green streaks.) Then we all painted rocks like ladybugs and one butterfly. Later on when i took Ava home she showed me her new bike
and how great of a rider she is.

last day

I took the girls on a date to Subway and then off to the carwash since the girls think its fun!

Thanks for letting me come play!!!

Gramps and Me

My Grandfather unexpectedly passed away this evening.

I saw him only 3 days earlier to pick up some belongings i've had stored at their house when i lived there for the summer years ago. I'm so very thankful that i went and visited that friday.

Moving

Ava had a fun costume party for her Birthday.

I sure love this little girl!!!

I love how Brennan helps her at the end

Grandpa's 3rd Annual Puppet Show

Every Monday in October I had the opportunity
to help my Grandpa with his puppet show.
This year it was "The Wizard of Oz" with a twist and a good lesson. I love how excited and dedicated my Grandpa gets about his shows.

I enjoyed spending my Monday nights there!

Also, I enjoyed some play time at the park with Jer and his kidos

here are some clips from the show- my grandpa is awesome!!!

Random Rock

1 night camping trip with Taylor, Brock, and Jami

Jami really wanted to go camping and the rest of us just tagged along and in the end we were glad we did. It was a fun 24 hours! We set up camp by this random rock all the way out past Tooele. We ate tin foil dinners, relaxed by the fire, played cards in the tent, and then went to Denny's the next morning.

24 hours of fun

It was sleepover time again with the Ava!

-Pumpkin Patch
-Shopping
-McDonalds where she enjoyed her toy from her Happy Meal and the play area
-Cookies and Movie
and
-Painting Pumpkins and Nails

I sure had a blast playing with this Beautiful Fun Girl!!!

Garden

Scattered September

It was fun having a little garden this year and watching our plants grow!!

-some college friends got together- however, i wasn't able to attend but i made sure Mandy got a picture of pregers- i'm so excited for Ben and Christie!

even though the video is sideways i just had to show my little Raylie!

Family Fun

It was fun to have all my siblings around. We spent 2 days down
at my dads house having fun. However, sadly i was sick for half of the day
Saturday but luckily i recovered quickly.

Forever Family

The Gerbers were sealed today as a family in the Oquirrh Temple!!!

locked out

This was a special weekend for the Gerber's so the Hansen's and my Mom and Lane came into town. I was in charge of babysitting while the adults went to the Temple for the Gerber's endowments. However, Callie and I switched cars which had my house key on it. So when I showed up to my house with 5 little ones we were locked out. I felt so dumb and helpless. We waited outside for half an hour until my roommate could come let us in. We watched a movie, ate snacks, played, and danced. And my friend, Jami, was nice enough to come help out for little while. Afterward we all went out to Cafe Rio.

do you like how my living room is a mess?

love

my first meeting with Rockwell Adam

i finally met my ROCKY!!!
oh, how i love him- he is PeRfEcT and extremely adorable!

Rockets

I headed up to Logan for the evening to attend my friend, Jerad's reception. Then afterward I stopped to say hi to my previous roommate, Becca, who is getting married next weekend and i won't be able to attend :( And it's always fun to play with Jess. I'm glad she tagged a longed with me. We ended the night up on campus where they closed down the street for a free concert by "The Rocket Summer."

3 times- yes!

i spent Sunday with Jerry, Erin, Ava, and Brennan!! Ava was excited to show me their new car so Erin took her and I for a ride in the new wheels. and i was lucky to see them 2 other times during the week!

Boating

Few days spent boating to celebrate Jamis 24th birthday

July wrapped in one

for some reason i just don't take any pictures these days
so i was able to wrap July into one post.

Huntington

we went down to Huntington for a couple of days.
it was a fun relaxing time!!!

i would rather shoot a 22 any day over a pistol!
as you can see i only took pictures when we went shooting
and when Jami and i enjoyed our dippin dots!

ParaCHUTE

we went to a free concert at the Gallivan Center which was hosted by "Fight the New Drug". its an organization that i love and completely agree with- which deals with pornography.

4 bands performed and we knew two of them- Allred and Parachute. i have seen Allred numerous times and was excited to see Parachute for the first time.


these videos aren't the best quality since we were right by the speaker but, oh well, i can at least understand them. these 2 songs are my favorite by Parachute.



"Kiss Me Slowly"

"Ghost"

CAVE madness!!!!

hike and cave adventure in North Ogden

the hike up was steep and kicked my butt. however, inside the cave i was a champ. there certainly were some slick, tricky, and tight spots.

it was a great crazy cave experience!

afterwards we got shakes, cleaned up, had a bbq, then fireworks
to celebrate Pleasant Views Founders Day

-oh were we sore the next day though!

play time

i met up with jami and these cute kids she was babysitting for play time
-we had a picnic, enjoyed the park, and went miniature golfing

(i had to take a picture in front of the pyramid and sphinx since i've actually seen them in person. and come on people the sphinx is not even a 1/4 of the size of a pyramid)

later that night a group of us headed down for a hike in spanish fork canyon to some hot springs.

Pizza Cake

-we found a Pizza Plus down in Riverton!
we use to go to Pizza Plus up in Logan- they have the most amazing bread sticks!!!

-i made Mandy a sweet 2-tier princess cake for her birthday!!!

the "A"

we went up to Logan for a BBQ and Jami realized she never took pictures on
the "A" so then we had to take a photo shoot

watching my little ones

Rockwell!

my sister, Britni, gave me my second nephew today!!!!!
-i'm an AUNT for the 6th time!!!

Rockwell Adam

the good looking Hansen Family

sadly i won't meet him until he is 3 months old

here i am with all my cute babies when i first met them

he is perfect!!! i just want to snuggle him. it kills me that i have to wait but
3 months is nothing to Tesilas 7 months.

garden

i met Callie and Raylie at out patient surgery. Raylie is tongue tied so the 18th was the day she got it snipped. it was sad and so cute to see a little baby in a hospital gown. then today Callie and i had fun planting a garden in her back yard. hopefully our plants grow wonderfully!

1yr old Raylie
