Frightmares

On Thursday, October 16 during the UEA break we went to Lagoon for Frightmares! It was a BOO-tiful day and so GHOUL!

For some reason this year Taylor was just like a skeleton and had no guts to go on anything but the baby rides. Lucky for her, she had Madison to go on the rides with her, because if not, she would have no body to go with her.

Mark and I, the Mummy and Deady were tied up the whole day running from one ride to the other, with no opportunity to relax and unwind.

Jordan saw a ghost go into a bar for the boo's because he is mist if he goes in the fog, especially if it is on a road with a dead end. And Amanda thought the vampire really sucked.

Below are some pics of our day ... enjoy!

Kendyl's 1st Birthday Party

Thank you everybody that came to Kendyl's First Birthday Party. It was so much fun to have everybody over for the party. As much as she didn't know what was going on, I still think she had a blast! Thank you everybody for bringing something to eat and enjoy! What a wonderful family we have. Here are some pictures from the party....

Kendyl was more concerned about making sure she was playing with her cousins and her toys than opening her presents.

Kendyl got to enjoy her own cupcakes. I don't know when us as parents will learn that 1 year olds will always reach for the burning candle instead of attempting to blow it out. Kendyl was no exception.

She didn't cry for long when she saw that the cupcake was all hers!

After the party, singing, unwrapping, eating, football watching, etc., Kendyl wasn't the only sleepy one...........HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDYL! WE LOVE YOU!!

After the morning at Lexington and Concord we decided to go to Salem, MA. A crazy idea as for the month of October it is all Witches and crazy people. However we got to see this great boat and ate at a really great restaurant. Derrek and Dad did get lost because a "witch" moved the car."

We spent yesterday at the Lexington- Concord sites where the Revoulutionary War started. These pictures were taken at North Bridge in Concord where the first shots were fired.

This is a replica of the Log cabin that Joseph Smith lived in when he had the first vision. The top window you can see is the window to the room where Moroni came to visit Joseph Smith. The Sacred Grove is to the back of this picture.

The path to the Sacred Grove.

Us in front of the Palmyra Temple. The middle window is a regular window that you can look out on the sacred grove. Story has it that the man who owned this land finally decided to sell to the church if the would build him any house he wanted. Right before the house was done he died and the house is now the mission presidents home and the temple is here.

A few pictures from our trip. Yesterday we saw Niagra Falls and went to Palmyra to see the sunset over the sacred grove. Hope you are all well
