Disney On Ice

My friend, Brooke, and I took Chandler and Jocelyn to Disney On Ice last week. Graham and I had taken Jocelyn when she was two, but I don't think she remembers it. We had so much fun and the kids were very excited! Brooke got an awesome deal on our seats and we had a great view! I know these pictures would have come out better if Graham had taken them! haha. I still don't know how to use my camera very well, but I think I'll sign up for a class. Anyway, here is my attempt! If you click on them, I think you can make the picture bigger!

The Lion King

Simba and Nala.

The Little Mermaid

Prince Eric

The Sea Witch

Lilo and Stitch

The aliens.

Cute kids!

They loved their binoculars, even though they didn't really need them to see. It was fun to look up close at the costumes though! :)

Peter Pan

Jocelyn cracks me up. When they first started flying, she said "OH Mom! How are they doing that?" Then two seconds later she said, "Oh, I see the rope..." hahaha. Oh well, the magic lasted for a second.

Captain Hook and Smee.

The Lost Boys

Pirate Ship

Tick, tock, tick, tock...haha.

The pirate ship. Jocelyn really did NOT like the pirates. I guess they looked a little too real!!

The finale! So fun!!

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

The bad thing about not updating your blog often is playing catch up! Not so fun. I don't know why life has felt so incredibly busy lately, but it has. Since this is our family journal, I know I will be sad if I don't take the time to post all of these pictures!!
I love October and all the fun things we get to enjoy! Jocelyn went to three pumpkin patches, two with me and one with her school. We had a fun Halloween weekend. We went to our church trunk or treat with our old ward so Jocelyn could see all of her friends that she misses so much! Then we went trick or treating with MiMi around our neighborhood. This is the first year we let Jocelyn actually carve a pumpkin and she loved it! She even took out (most of) the pumpkin "guts" by herself. We did hear "DISGUSTING!" the whole time she did it! She carved a cute owl and did a great job, with just a little help from Graham and I with the harder parts.

I carved the one on the left and Jocelyn did the one on the right. We always look forward to Daddy's cool pumpkin, but unfortunately he carved out parts of Darth Vader that messed it up. Next year we'll expect something fabulous! :)

Jocelyn wanted to be a ladybug this year and found this cute outfit on sale! Her baby cousin was a ladybug too. We're just sad they live in Utah and we couldn't get pictures of them together!

Galloping Grace Pumpkin Patch.

Garrett, Gillian and Jocelyn.

Playing in the corn box!

"1, 2, 3, JUMP!"

Took a pic by the Davis Family sign!

Jocelyn and her friend, Bailey and the Halloween finger puppets they made.

Fall in the Jemez

Is blogger giving anyone else TROUBLE?!?! I am getting so frustrated with it, so I have been blogging a lot less lately! Uh! Anyway, we went up to the Jemez to take some pictures of the beautiful color. We miss Virginia so much during the fall. It was GORGEOUS! Red, orange, yellow.....ohhh, we miss it! New Mexico is pretty, but you don't get ALL those colors. It's okay, though, being near family is definitely worth the trade! We had a good time up in the mountains, just like we always do!




This is where Graham's family had their cabin. Unfortunately, they sold it. Graham thinks the new owners tore down the old cabin and replaced it. We're sad that it isn't in the family anymore, it's such a pretty spot!!

I LOVE this picture!

We saw this cute old cabin and they had a horse, so of course, Jocelyn wanted to go pet him. He came right up to her. So friendly!





We walked up to the beaver pond to take some pictures. It was really pretty, but I almost fell in!

How do I love thee?

What a beautiful reminder.

Uncles are the best!

Uncle John and Jocelyn in Texas at our Dad's wedding. Jocelyn ADORES Uncle John. Sometimes she gets pretty jealous when his attention is elsewhere. She went up to him while he was playing with Ashlee's boys and said, "Uncle John, you don't even love me anymore!" Ohhh, girls! Such drama.

(Why yes...those are bandages on Jocelyn's head! Guess what she did the NIGHT BEFORE the wedding...well, we still aren't sure, but she had a HUGE red gash on her head. And she was in the wedding. Nice.)

When Graham and Jocelyn are left alone....

Poor Zap gets dressed up! I don't know if our boy cat enjoyed this too much. I haven't heard Jocelyn laugh that hard in a long time though! I would have been mad at them, but I couldn't help but laugh! It was hilarious, especially because Zap looked so depressed.



I can't decide if Boomer was laughing at Zap or felt bad for him. He's probably thinking, "Glad it's you and not me!!"

Texas!!!!

Here are my best friend's two little boys and Jocelyn last time we had pictures of them taken...

Here is the group now! She added another adorable boy and everyone else has grown so much!! Ashlee took this picture. She is an awesome photographer and hopefully I can learn a few things from her!

Jocelyn and I headed to Texas to see Ashlee and her boys and then head to Oklahoma to go to my Dad's wedding. We had a BLAST! I'm so glad they live close to us, even if it is only for a year.
Unfortunately, I did not get my camera out ONCE the whole trip! I guess that's what happens when you know your best friend will take better pictures anyway...what's the point? hahaha! So I am stealing pictures from her blog as they appear! Thanks, Ash.
