Tribute to The Rev!

So Tyler has now completed his first block of Medical School at the U. The semester was a lot of work but a success overall. Tyler has teamed up with a number of classmates and formed a study group that is now referred to as The Rev. They say stuff like "there's a revolution going on" it's cute really! Anyway, for their final week of the block they all grew mustaches... it was not so cute really, but you can judge for yourself!

The Ames Gang!

OK, I know we're not all Ames' anymore but it still fits. My older sister, Bri, came into town with all her boys. We had a great time all crammed under one roof...Mom was in heaven, until she caught a bad cold. We started it all with family picture in the park, somehow I still don't have those pictures. Anyway, we had a great time with everyone and we really miss our little Smith Family!

After the pictures the boys tried to create a little fun by dropping Mentos in Diet Coke.

It turned out to be pretty anti-climatic. We also had an early Thanksgiving dinner with the whole gang. Tyler, of course, found some whoopie cushions to entertain the kids with, those things never get old!

No matter if it's rain, snow or shine when the boys come, we'll be digging for worms!

Then we played a little rock band.

And we went bowling...

I hope the Spirit of Halloween found you!

It is the spookiest day of the year and your only chance to dress up as whatever you want and get away with it. For me this year I kept it simple with my trusty witch hat and sparkly purple cape. We usually throw a big Halloween Party but we decided to take a break this year. Perhaps if the stars align we will resurrect it for next year! Here are a few pictures of the house this year. We got a lot of comments on how great it looked and some people even took pictures! Of course we always have the fog machine going and spooky music play loud enough that you can hear it on the street. One of our neighbors really gets into it as well so we always have a lot of fun!

Jack Frost is nipping at our nose!

Doesn't he know that Ichabod Crane and the Pilgrims need to come first! It never works that way here in Park City. Anyway, here are some pictures from our yard this morning with the beautiful snow. A little snow always makes me want to curl up in front of the fire with Tyler and watch a good moving!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 4 year Anniversary and we couldn't be happier! We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship and close friendship. We share so many passions in life that have made the past 4 years so much fun and we're looking forward to an exciting future together!

Joe's Valley

Finally, Tyler got a break from school! Last week Tyler had 5 tests in 3 days, so thankfully the school gave them Friday off and I wasn't about to let us sit around doing nothing! So in an effort to find a great camping venue I actually got us a trip to Joe's Valley to help gather the herd from the mountains and bring them down to the pasture!

Tyler's cousins happen to be a couple of guys I went to school with up at USU so its fun to get us all together and it was very nice for them to let us tag along. I was actually surprised to see that Tyler can handle a horse pretty well. You'd think you know everything about someone after 5 years, but the excitement never ends with Tyler!

So I got a little crazy with the scenery shots, I don't think we could have picked a better weekend to be down there with the leaves, it was just amazing! But I didn't get any photos of us riding the horses and herding the cattle because I was too afraid the camera would get damaged on the ride. Hopefully, this won't be our last trip down there to help, Tyler would be down there next weekend if he could! Anyway we couldn't have asked for a better weekend! Thank you Jonathan and family for letting us come down!

Jocie's 2nd Birthday!

It's about time we post some pictures of our cute little niece Jocie, this is Jeannette's little girl, so here she is at her Birthday Party!
