Our family day in SLC

We had such a fun day on Friday. The girls were out of school for fall break (UEA, or more technically: Huntin' Season Begins! yeeee hawww!) and Gene took a vacation day and we headed out to SLC. Chloe drove us there (oh my, oh my, oh my) but we did get there, and began our fun outing at our favorite place to eat:

The Olive Garden:

smile, Nat! :)

Then we spent the afternoon at Clarke Planetarium:

Cholo, the channel 2 weather gal!


The girls had fun on the moon:

And on Mars!

Then we went and saw an IMAX show, "Deep Sea" narrated by Johnny-the hunk-Depp and Kate Winslet.

The flip-flop sistas...

waiting in line for our cool IMAX

Ready to go with our cool glasses!

This movie was such a blast. It made me miss the ocean even more.

It was fantastic!

Then we hit the gift store.

Linds ALWAYS finds the bugs!

She ended up choosing a little bug container that has a magnifying glass attached on top so when you put a buggie-boo in the container, you can see it up close and personal! Yea!

Chloe and Haley picked out neat little anklets and Nat a ROCK necklace. (Lindsay=Bugs, Natalie=Rocks)

BYU Homecoming!

Gene scored 6 BYU tix off of E-Bay today for $10 a piece. Yeah, we were way up high in the nosebleed seats, but it really didn't matter! We had a great view and a really fun night!

It got pretty cold by the end of the game, but we were prepared for it.

Go BYU!

BYU v. New Mexico!

BYU Homecoming

Crowds were still getting situated, it was a sold out game tonight.

Spirit Week!

Spirit Week:

Monday:

Red, White & Blue Day/Crazy Hair Day:

Tuesday:

Nerd Day:
I totally drew her glasses on! (I used Chloe's cool black eyeliner! hee hee hee)

There's that Sponge Bob shirt again.

She created a Sponge Bob Club that day.

On her name tag, Haley spelled her name:

H-A-L-E=mc2-Y

Wednesday:

Rock Star Day:

The only Rock Star thing about Lindsay was that I colored part of her hair red and she wore her ultra cool ScoobyDo sunglasses.


Thursday:

Pirate Day:

ARRRRRG!

It was a fun/kinda stressful week as we had to come up with costumes and do hair and such for 3 girls every morning, but it was awesome!

My EXCITING 100th Post!

Chloe gets to be my 100th post.

She got home late last night from St. George and

was very excited about her candy room:

(I have SUCH an amazing camera, I know.)

After she left this morning, the 3 girls asked...

"Can we go and get some candy from Chloe's room for our lunches?"

YES, I told them. Help yourselves!!

:)

my 99th post:

The view from our front door.

Ain't it perty?

Click on it for a closer view, you can really see the reds and golds!

It really is quite lovely.

The boy answered-

This afternoon the boy that Chloe asked to the Halloween dance came over to answer her.

The boy is named Justin, and he is a good boy!

He had all the time in the world since Chloe was down in St. George for tennis regionals. She is lucky to have such a wonderful mother as I, for I totally cleaned up her gross room and made her bed before the boy-Justin, came over to do this:

Made a cute sign that the little sisters all helped with:
Then he continued to dump tons of candy all over the place:

Candy, candy everywhere! I told him thanks for supplying us with our give-out Halloween candy this year!

Lots o' candy...

....all over her nicely made bed....

and this is what he left in the middle of her room:

Notice the lovely happy faces on the bottom of the sign, thanks Lindsay, the littlest sister.

Boy, Chloe is going to love walking into her room later on tonight! What a surprise!
