Day 303
I am a huge fan of Starbucks scones. I ran across this recipe and decided to try it. I was a little nervous because I have never made scones before, but these turned out oh so yummy!

Day 300
I have decided that the senses can take you back in time to relive an event. Whether it be sight, smell, touch or a sound. Whenever I see or handle this pillow, I am transported back to driving the countryside in southern Germany when I painstakingly hand stitched the front of this pillow. That trip will always be the highlight of my life when I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream and be able to share that dream with my family.
Day 299
What have I learned during the last few months? Nothing very complimentary to me that is for sure. I have learned that while Kevin is a "the glass is half full" kind of guy, I tend to be more of "the glass is half empty" kind of gal. I am going to strive to change that and see the positive in more things. Just one more thing in which Kevin inspires me!

Day 297
I sometimes have to remind myself that I still have a little boy living in my home who gets oh so excited about holidays. I haven't been in much of a celebrating mood lately and was content to let Halloween pass without putting up the decorations. Keaton was so excited to pull out the containers, so we let him decorate. This little light up ghost ceramic thing is his favorite. You push a button on the back and it plays the Adams Family theme complete with flashing light eyes:)
Day 294
Tonight was a crucial game for us Real Salt Lake fans. If they won, they had an automatic 3rd place in the league standing and would therefore make the playoffs. If they lost, they would play in a wild card game to see if they made the playoffs. They were playing so well, and in the 90th minute of the game, the other team tied it up. We had to wait for the results of another teams game to find out if we are headed to the playoffs, and we ARE!! Go REAL!
Day 292
Fall break coincided with the opening of the deer hunt this year, and lots of construction made for the longest trip to St. George ever. After almost six hours in the car we finally reached my parents house in Ivins, and the kids went searching for lizards. They had an absolute blast trying to catch them. Cassidy said that they were "wicked fast", and therefore did not catch any.

Day 275
We did many fun things at the festivities of Oktoberfest such as shopping, hiking, enjoying each others company and riding the Tram to the top of Hidden Peak. Of all these things, the one that was by far the funniest was watching Keaton school everyone on the technique of Hula Hooping! There was a competition going on where if the adults won, they would win a glass beer stein. If the kids won, they would receive a food prize such as an ice cream, french fries or a churro. Keaton won all of them, and the gal in charge told him that if he could go for 10 minutes he would win a food prize and the beer stein for his dad:) He went for over 10 minutes and the whole crowd cheered him on. One thing I have to say about this boy of mine. He is NOT a shy boy, and loves to be the center of attention even amongst a bunch of rowdy beer drinkers!
Day 274
On our annual trek up to Oktoberfest at Snowbird I came to realize that our kids love it up there as much as Kevin and I! It warms my heart that they have come to associate Snowbird with our family, and that they truly do love to go. This year we decided to spend the night at the Lodge, and everyone was so excited! We have such great memories at Snowbird!
