Thanksgiving

Well we headed down to good ol St. George for Thanksgiving this year. It was kind of cold, but warmer than it was up North that's for sure. Anyhoo we had lots and lots of good eats and fun times with family. Plus, who doesn't like to golf in November?

One more of Halloween

I never got a good picture of Ryker in his costume, so I had a photo shoot on the front porch. I bet the neighbors had a good time watching me try to make Ryker to look at me!

Halloween!

We all carved pumpkins at Lloyds while Ryker ran around with Cayden eating pumpkins scraps:)

Australia

Here is our home movie of Australia so you can all feel like you were there with us! It was an awesome experience to visit another country. I finally got a stamp in my passport, hooray! We stayed in Brisbane and saw the sites in the city. It is a really big city with this crazy river that snaked through it. We saw the gold coast and it's miles of beaches & got hot chocolate cause it was freezing outside! We visited the Steve Erwin Zoo and got to pet the Kangaroos and Koalas! We had lots of good eats including Morton Bay Bugs(they are a crustacean found only in Morton Bay, yeah the name scared me too!) We drove on the wrong side of the road and car- thought I was gonna loose my life! We saw the Queensland University and much more! One of my favorite things was the Jacaranda trees with their bright purple blossoms!

Sneak Peak at Hawaii

Hawaii

Ok so we went to Hawaii like over a month ago, but life has been pretty crazy around these parts. We took Ryker and my sweet mom to Kauai and then to Oahu for a week. We went on an awesome helicopter ride of Kauai, and then Brandon talked me into scuba diving! Ok so water scares the jeebers out of me and especially scuba diving, but I did it. I almost cried and pooped my pants I mean wet suit but luckily I held it together. I am glad I did it, but I'm not sure I will make the venture again. We had lots of good food, Dukes, hula dogs, hula pie, sea food, etc! Ryker loved the beach and managed to completely cover his entire body with sand. He was a good lil traveler! B went deep sea fishing and caught a 50 lb mahi mahi! We had good weather and beautiful sun sets and sun rises(one that cost us our plane ride to Oahu! woops :( We also hit the Polynesian Culture Center, saw the renovated temple grounds, and my old house. We all participated at the PCC and had a grand ole time!
