Happy Birthday Zach!!!

Zach had a birthday party with his friends this year. We took them to see a movie and then went to Chickfila for ice cream after. He has a great bunch of friends!!!


The kids love to pick what they want for breakfast on their birthday. I surprised him with this donut of the Y since BYU was playing the Utes on his special day. He thought it was the best breakfast he'd ever had...funny kid!!!


I decided to use the game as the theme for his birthday cake. (Actually, I just dropped the ball on making him one this year). He loved it, so I guess it didn't matter. Would've been a better birthday for him if our Cougs would've pulled off a win but he likes basketball too and they won that night so that seemed to suffice him ;o)


We have a wonderful family that support our kids on all their birthdays!!! Zach we love you and our lives would be VERY boring if you weren't in them ;o) Happy #9!!!!!

Turkey Bowl

Devin hosted our 1st annual L Family Turkey bowl this year. The kids had a lot of fun and of course it wouldn't be a L Family game if there wasn't a little (OK--A LOT) of competiveness going on with the adults.



Our family! (Notice Josh's jersey from High School...it's gotten a bit small ;o) I'm just surprised it's still around if you know anything about my "get rid of things" disorder.


Love Devin's make-shift trophy. The base is a lamp.





The Whole family except Grandma...she was taking care of the twins. Oh and Landon and Diana came late...they had to work.



Zach kissing the trophy....funny...the team he was on didn't even win. Another great get-together Devin!!!

Zach's a Bear in Scouts

Zach will be turning 8 at the end of this month so that means he'll be going from a wolf to a bear in Scouts. He loves Scouts so much and looks forward to Thursdays each week. Here are a few pictures of him being honored at Pack Meeting.

Happy Halloween

Another fun Halloween this year. Here's pictures of the kids costumes.

Ellie as Minnie Mouse.


Gracie as Strawberry Shortcake.



Matthew as a ghost.


Zach as Cosmo.


The kids costume parade at school. Missed a picture of Matthew.



It's always been a fun tradition to take the kids trick or treating at grandma's work. This may be the last year since Gracie will be in school next year. Gracie, Lily (Cupcake), and Noah the Skeleton.



Me as "It's raining cats and dogs," and Josh as Mr. Piggy. Josh gets a lot of comments on this costume as you can imagine (2nd year he's worn it)...it's actually a bit disturbing but funny!!!








Mom as Lucille Ball


Eric with his twin girls Eva(cat) and Estelle(duck).


Landon and his new wife Diana as Ken and Barbie.


Loralee and Neil as a clown and "the thing." (Phil's parents)


Phil and Diana as Mr. and Mrs. Juan. Me and my mom think Diana should become a brunette...she looks really good with dark hair.


Hostess and Host of the party. Devin and Vanessa as Oompa Loompa's from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Vanessa made these costumes...so cute!


We love Lucy!!!


Gracie and Eli


The kids playing Halloween Bingo. Devin's so good to make sure everything runs smoothly and that everyone's being entertained at his parties.



We had a great time playing all the minute to win it games.















Gracie was so excited to win this BIG snickers bar for having the "cutest costume." Good job on another great party Devin and Vanessa! Thanks for the invite!!!
