our weekend!

Another visit to the Gilbert area.. I love to go, but hate that I never have enought time to get everything done! I would love to have enough time to catch up (go to lunch) with each of my friends there, go shopping to all the stores I can't go to here (which is about every store), and eat at all the places we miss! ... but we still had a good time!

FRIDAY... we went to the temple. Our good friends the Farnsworth's watched our kids. Wayne and I were doing sealings. (we haven't done them forever!) It was such a wonderful experience. I love being in that Holy place and looking at my sweet husband and remembering that day 8 yrs. ago when we were married! What a happy day. I couldn't help but keep smiling at him and thinking "I'm a lucky girl!!" I was so thankful we made time for the temple.

After the temple we went to the Basha High school ft. ball game where SUMMER Farnsworth was cheering. Years ago, my awesome sister made my girls outfits to match Summer's. Everytime they wear it to one of her games.. they get a lot of attention! Look how cute they are!!

My girls have wanted to be cheerleaders ever since we started going to Summer's games. It was way before Maci came along. The two cheer outfits used to be for Haylee and Hanna.. now Haylee is way to big!

Me and Summer Lou.. She's so sweet and like a little sister to me.. and big sister to my girls!

NEXT.. we rushed over to the end of Wayne's nephews game. Wayne loves to be at his games. JD is so cute and such a great kid! He really impresses me and I hope one day I can have a boy as great as him!

I love how all the kids are looking up to JD!

SATURDAY.... Layton "fall/halloween" party! There was not a weekend before Halloween that it worked for us to get together.. so we had our annual party last weekend at David and Joanna's house. It is always fun, but I thought this year was especially great!

We had a bouncer....

Lots of sweet girls!

A GREAT dinner.. food is always good with the Laytons!

My girls LOVE to get re-acquainted with cousins!

Then.. we split in to groups and went to different booths (ran by the women).. this was the HUMAN TARGET SHOOTING boothHot Potato (I mean pumpkin)

FACE PAINTING... by me and Amber

Kessa and Maci.. so cute! (they are 4 months apart!)

Always basketball!

Who is the great artist you ask??? :)

The highlight of the night! CHUB RABBIT! This has been a tradition since Wayne was a boy.. His grandma made up this character, and he comes to every Halloween party with treats out of his garden.. This was the first year my kids weren't afraid of him!

I don't have many picture of the boy cousins... but here are a lot of cute girlies!

NEXT.. we roasted marshmellows and made smores!

A perfect way to end the great night!

Other great pics....

All the men in the family! Sorry girls, but my hubby has got to be the cutest! :) ( The Layton men all make fun to me because of the way I always brag about Wayne!)

All the women! I am so lucky to have married in to such an awesome family. I can honestly say all of these girls are my great friends! I love to get together and catch up and learn from them.. They are all amazing moms!

LAST... Sleepover ast Grandma's and Pop's... Our family, and Brad and Amber's family are the only one's who live out of town. We boths stayed at Mom and Pop's and our girls had so much fun sleeping together! We have a lot of fun memories with Brad and Amber and Annie when we all lived in the townhomes. It is fun for our girls to get to know eachother again!!
