September = Watermelon

We were given a yummy melon.  Katelin and I decided to slice into it the other day.  

 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

 Yes, I am aware I am strange for taking so many pictures of the watermelon, but it was just so pretty and well, I just HAD too!

 We have a picture of Kaleb when he was little sticking his head into a melon eating it, so Katelin wanted to pretend.

She thought that was pretty funny.  She's so cute.

The Little Mermaid

We went to see The Little Mermaid at the Tuachan in St. George last Monday.  We went with Ryan, Erin and Quentin.  It was SO great!!!  I loved watching it all unfold and looking over at the kids faces.  Kaiya especially loved it.  Katelin got really tired about 1/2 an hour before it was over and started to cry.  I took her out and watched on the TV.

It was amazing how they did it all.  Most of the pictures are blurry because I couldn't use a flash, so just use your imagination.  :)

 We were on the fourth row!  Ariel was right there to our left when she went into the cave of all of her human findings.  Her song Part of Your World, was amazing.  She was so believable and sang with such emotion.  Loved it!

 Katelin wanted her picture taken here.

 And then she took my picture and others as we waited for it to end.

 She took a picture of the TV we watched on out in the lobby too.

Afterwards the actors came out and you could get your picture taken with them.  We were all too tired, but I snapped this shot of King Triton.  Kinda spooky, but cartoon cool at the same time!  Looks just like the guy, right!!!!!

Preview

I got to take picture of Tiffany's little Oakley while they were here.  She turned two and needed her two year old photos taken.  She is such a funny little girl.  If ya wanna see more you can look at my photo BLOG to check out this CUTIE!  

MANY Melon Day pics

 Juli and I woke up early and did the Melon Run.  It was a 5k.  Last year she signed up with me but got sick and wasn't able to go.  I was so glad she got to run with me this year.  We had a good pace together.  I was getting super tired at the end though and was just going to walk when I look and see these little girls running down the sidewalk towards us.  Burke was down a ways and he brought the kids that wanted to come and see us at the end.  It seriously gave me energy to pick up my feet and finish.  That was such a nice surprise.

 They had watermelon for us at the end.  Perfect!

 Thanks for running with me Juli.  I LOVE YOU!  :)

 We went and got ready for the day and then we all headed out for the parade.  The kids were all ready with their bags.  Let the candy throwin' begin!!!

 Porter waved the whole parade.  Except for to pick up candy and then he'd start waving again.  Adorable.

 Erin trying to cover Boston's ear to protect him from the loud fire truck noise.  I think his other ear works too though.  Haaaaaaaaaaa!  Nice try.

 Hail to the Queen (and her attendants, of course).  I think it is so cute that sweet Sydney won the Melon Days Pageant and her dad is a Melon farmer.  Awesome!

 This cute old man kept coming over and asking the kids for some of their candy.  Hahaha!  It was so funny, they were so confused.  Then he would just laugh.  :)

 And he's still waving.  Until the end.

 Quentin's birthday was on the 15th so we decided to do his party here with everyone.  He opened presents on the trampoline.  It was great!

 Oakley and Jared were so cute on this little thingy.  Oakley is a strong little thing.  I saw her turning them around on her own once!

 I even jumped with the kids for a bit.  I hear it's super good for you.  So get jumpin'!!!

 Boston being cute, as usual.

 Me and the others being dorky, as usual.  (I dediced to make these pics small so I didn't freak anyone out.  Haahehehe!

Ryan decorated the cake for Q.  Pretty sweet.

 He had some great supervisors.

Happy birthday to Q!!!

 We headed over to the school gym and played around and then broke open the pinata.

 Those Brownings, they know how to Hula Hoop it up!!!

 Ryan was being dorky and then I took it right when he stopped.  I don't think I have a picture of him just smiling!  Alright!

 Just like his crazy daddy!  Always has to be a goof ball.  We love it!

 The kids all waited their turn to wack the pinata.Look at all of those kids.  Sometimes I would look at all of them following us moms around and just say "look what we did!"  It is so much fun!

 This was so funny.  Oakley just got under the volleyball cart thing and started running.  It was quit a site to see.

We LOVED having so much family in our home at once.  Really fun.  Thanks for coming everyone!!!!  :)
