Holy Posting Batman!

*Note: I copied this cute "catching up" post idea from my cousin Michelle- (hope you don't mind.)

Okay, here we go.

Baby Bear is One! And boy did we celebrate. On Saturday we went to Thanksgiving Point and had and Old MacDonald's Farm Party for Baby Bear and her cousin, BabyC, who were born 8 days apart. It was a lot of fun, except for that Baby Bear did not like any of the animals. Well, that is not completely true. She tolerated the bunny rabbit and enjoyed the wagon ride.

Then, on Sunday, we celebrated with GpaW, since Baby Bear was born on his Birthday! She got lots of fun presents. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us. GmaC made her a little Birthday cake. She was a little hesitant to dig in and make a huge mess, but enjoyed it all of the same. Papa Bear and I got her a Laugh and Learn Bounce and Spin Pony which she loves. Happy Birthday Baby Bear! I can't believe you are one already.

But Before that happened....

Happy Halloween! Halloween was perfect this year. Brother Bear went as Frankenstein, Sister Bear as a mean old witch, and Baby Bear as a cute adorable lady bug. Brother Bear's school had a carnival, and Sister Bear had a program at PreSchool. She did a great job sing her songs and saying her part. We also were lucky enough to have C and BabyC join us for some neighborhood Trunk OR Treating around the park, made spider web pizzas, and Trick Or Treated Grandparents Houses! Fun was had by all.

But Before that Happened...

We went Hunting and Papa Bear and I got skunked! Unless you count the trespassing ticket that Papa Bear brought home. Papa Bear went with his Dad, and GpaD, Fatty M, and I took Brother Bear out for the first time. We still had fun-- and GpaD and FattyM did bring home a pretty nice three point the second weekend. Way to Go Boys!

But Before that Happened...

Over UEA weekend GmaC ventured with us to the Pumpkin Patch. Baby Bear insisted on kicking all of the Pumpkins like soccer balls, pushing the wheelbarrow, and crying in most of the pictures. We found some really great pumpkins. Brother and Sister Bear loved the small corn maze and went through it twice. Thanks for a fun outing Gma.

But Before that Happened...

Soccer season came to an end. Both Brother Bear and Sister Bear played this year. Brother really improved over a few seasons ago, and scored a goal! His team struggled because they are mostly young 1st graders playing in a league with 1st and 2nd graders.

I coached Sissy's team, the Green Pickles. Sister Bear did great too! Well, that is when she wasn't running in circles all around the field watching her cool pink shoes! But she had fun, and wants to play again in the spring. If you want to see some fun soccer Pics, check out my friend Sheri's Blog (who is so much better and keeping up to date than I am!)

Before Soccer came to an end....

Papa Bear turned 33! He is officially 6 years older than me if you look at our ages. I love to tease him that he his an old man, and I am a young chick still in my 20's. I made a pot of corn chowder, and Mississippi Mud Cake on Friday, and on Saturday my dad and mom barbecued Steak and Ahi Tuna. YUM! Happy Birthday Old Man.

Before Papa Bear turned 33...

We went to celebrate C's birthday. He is three big one's now. And such a cute little boy. Happy Birthday to you too C!

But before we celebrated...

We took a drive up Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon's to see the beautiful fall colors. I love the fall.

Before the fall drive..

Brother Bear and Sister Bear went to Yellowstone with my mom and dad. Lucky Kids. When we went last year, Sissy called all of the Hot Pots "Dragon Pots." This year, some of them were "Dragon Pots," and some were "Crock Pots." What a silly girl.

But before Yellowstone...

Brother Bear went fishing with GmaC, GpaD, and Gma and GpaW. He had a ball.

But Before fishing...

We went to GpaA and GmaShoppers house to celebrate Sister Bear's birthday. She had lots of fun. We also took the kids to the Lowe's build and grow clinic where they built Pirate Ships. Look at this Princess build!

And on our way home we stopped of at Strawberry Reservoir with AuntJJ and UncleJJ to see the salmon spawning.



But before that....

Sister Bear took her cute cousin to be a princess for the day. We went to "It's a Shear Thing" where they got princess hair do's and their nails painted and a girly goodie bag. They had so much fun, and lunch after at McDonald's was icing on the cake.

But before all of that celebrating...

Sister Bear celebrated at home. Wow, she had lots of fun Birthday celebrations!

But Before Sister Bear's birthday, my cousin P married M2. Congrats! At the wedding reception, Baby Bear learned how to shake it on the dance floor. It is the cutest thing, and now she dances around all of the time. Sister Bear turned down a dance at the wedding. My cousin Kelli's little boy, Mr.L, asked Brityn to dance. She told him NO! Poor boy! When we asked her why, she said it was because she was eating her cake. Papa Bear was very pleased that she has her priorities right.

I think that about does it! Holy Posting Batman!
