Where to Begin

I don't even know where to start, I've been away from the blogging world for so long.  The past few weeks have just been a blur, but I am finally past the morning sickness, pulling out of the extreme tiredness...slowly but surely, and heading into the deadly heartburn stage!!  It makes it's appearance every time, right about week 15...which I hit this week!   But trust me, I'd rather deal with that than the lovely weeks 7-13!! 
I just looked at my phone (yes, still using my phone for a camera, hoping Santa will finally bring me a nice camera!!) and there were over 75 pics that I hadn't downloaded yet.  So get ready for a picture overload.
Let's start back in August/September.
Jason's work had an awesome fall party at the American West Heritage Center.  The first time they've done it there, and I think they should do it there from now on.  SO much better than Merlin Olson Park, like the past few years.  Just so much more fun for the kids.  They had kettle corn, pony rides, train rides, jump houses, all the cool old historical buildings to go through, face painting, art contests, giant (and I mean GIANT) slides down the hill, and FOOD...good food.  All for FREE, which was the best part! 
Makayla walking ahead of us.  She was so excited, she was always about 15 steps ahead, wanting to see what was next!
 She went straight for the pony rides.  Which didn't surprise me. 
 She LOVED it, and came back about 3 times during the day for more rides.
 The GIANT slide.  Makayla tested it out first, then Brooklyn said she wanted to go, which surprised Jason and I.  So Jason took her down first, and she LOVED it, giggled the whole way down, then she went with Kayla...about 30 times...I kid you not.  They laughed and laughed the entire way.  Even when they'd end up twisting and going down backwards, they both just loved it.  Jason and I just stood up at the top laughing the whole time.  It was a blast. 
 The walk up...not so much.  But that didn't deter them from doing it over and over and over....Makayla was so good to help Brookie walk up the hill every single time.  She held her hand the whole way up.

 And at the end of the day, she wanted to make sure I took her picture with her butterfly on her face.  She loved it. 
Such a fun day, and the best part was the completely exhausted children that went straight to bed at the end of the day!!
