Hartner Halloween

Once a year we look foward to La Ron & John's annual Halloween Party, and this year was no exception. As usual, Hartman likes to make our costumes and try to either be as unique or scary as we can. Well I think this year we went as the scariest thing I could think of...THE MONTHLY MONSTER! Don't know how I talked Hartman into this one, but he was a good sport and it paid off cause we won a costume contest for the 3rd year in a row! Here are some pix of our crazy friends and fun memories!

Punkin Patch

We had a fun time at the Pumpkin Patch for FHE last week! Here are some pictures of us enjoying some family time!

$12 Blog Books

Go to the groupon linkhttp://www.groupon.com/r/uu6000252So I can get a little credit for referring ya....anyway, go there and the deal of the day for Salt Lake City, ON THE SIDE, is a blog scrapbook deal! It's only $12 (that includes shipping) and it prints your blog BEAUTIFULLY in an 81/2 x 11 hard ba...ck book! You just upload it, change it if you want in certain ways, and it prints and ships it to you!It includes all your words too and comments of others too if you want. It's such a good deal. DO IT! But the catch is....it ends at midnight tonight!!!! It's located on the side of the page! Also, you can buy as many as you'd like. They each have 20 pages. On a side note...these are not as nice as Heritage Makers books of course :) not the same at all quality, options, artwork etc. etc, but I like theses for blogs cause HM doesn't offer that!!!! Check it out! I bought 3 of them!!!!!

Ava's First Day of Pre~School

Ava's along waited for day of Pre~school was finally here. She was so excited to put on her back pack, some cute clothes, sport her new undies (since she just got potty trained this week) and curl her little piggies! There was no tears, just a "See ya Mom" Of course her preschool is with her Aunt LaRon and good friend Miss Wendy! She enjoyed the 3 little girls in her class and came home talking about the little boys too! She had a fun day and Hartman and I had fun with her excitement on her new adventure. It's sad to see them grow up, but it was a lot of fun to see how happy she was! Ava is really smart and ready for school. She can right her name and can recognize most letters of the alphabet. She can also navigate a mac computer pretty good! So needless to say she was ready and she loved it very much! It's also quite funny to take pictures of Ava....She has to have a "I'm a cool Girl pose along with a silly pose" She just does her thing and we end up getting really cute picture of our little Ava Girl! We love you!

My Sofia

I don't know what it is about this picture, but I love it! I ran across this picture taken about 6 months ago right after she had taken scissors to her bangs and cut them. They weren't too bad then cause we just evened them out and she had cute little bangs, but now they are growing out and are such a pain. Anyways, something about this photo of her just captures my sweet little Sofia and how little she is. I can already tell in just 6 months how much older she has gotten. Maybe I'm getting sentimental because she just started all day kinder, I don't know, but I could just squeeze her in this pix. Love her!
