Anniversary weekend

Matt and I got married October 13, 2001. So since Matt needed to work so we decided to celebrate on Saturday. My parents took our three children for the overnight. So Matt surprised me by taking me by Purity Salon and giving me a new hair due, a massage, and then going to get a pedicure and manicure next to Purity. I was over whelmed with all the fun. It was all about me day. So after he picked me up we went out for the rest of the day. Boy it was fun. We went to the mall and window shopped. We tried on some things and I did my own runway how with Coach purses. It was so fun!!! Upon going to a movie. Yes we were able to do that and stay out as lond as we wanted. Upon finding that Twilight was selling there tickets early. Yes girls that is right. They are selling now. Yes I am that excited about that. So I got my ticket. So go and get yours now!!! Anyways 7 awesome years down and forver to come.

Halloween House






So my parents gave my family a gingerbread Halloween house. Austin and Megan wanted to make it. So the good daddy that MAtt is he helped them make it. It is funny the pictures on the box make it looks so easy to do then when making it the frosting never stays in place. It was still fun to see the kids look at the candy that was supposed to go onto the house put in their mouths. I like how it came out.

October 11th







This is Austin's Birthday!!!! Matt and I decided to give a party to Austin since he turned five years. We asked our good friends Matt and Melissa Long to get their brother in law bounce house. He was wonderful in letting us rent it for free. The kids absolutely loved using it. If any one is even considering using one for a party- completely awesome idea. We had 12 kids there playing and of course I attempted to play some other games. I put on a scavenger hunt. The kids went all over the house to about 7-8 places to find the pictures. The search ended in the backyard. I made them skip, run, clap their hands, and other guffy things to make them look funny. Thanks to Ashley Kasperson for helping me with the pictures and printing them out. The other idea I had was a water balloon relay. Of course that didn't work very well. So after running around the bounce house four to five times we threw them down and got a little wet. So the rest of the time was spent in the bounce house.
During the party our dryer acted up and stopped working. Thank goodness I had Chuck and my dad coming down to see Austin as well. After taking out the dryer from our laundry room Matt took it apart. I was amazed how good Matt was to take things apart. I am not that confident to do such a thing. A cord ended up getting down in the lint trap and screwed up the wheel. It took Matt six hours to get everything back in working order. After the party Matt's parents and sister came over to celebrate and eat lunch with us. Austin is really into Diego and so they bought many Diego things. Austin seemed like he was on cloud nine. He also got a cool bike. That was fun to see them. We enjoyed everyone's company. A little later my parents came over to help pick up and have fun. They gave him a lego batman for the Wii. We thank everyone for coming and hoped everyone had fun.

Austin's Birthday at the Newitts






Well for General Conference we went to my parent's house. I try every General Conference to hear each speakers but I end up sleeping or taking care of my kids. Does any one else do the same thing? I was able to go to the Womens Broadcast with my mom and Sister in laws. That was a treat to listen to speakers and feel the spirit. I did miss President Hinckley and his funny comments as well. President Monson has a different way of talking. He is very sincere and quiet speaker. Well so since my brothers we busy and couldn't be with us on Austin's birthday we decided to celebrate then. We went early in the morning and stayed the day. My kids love going there. They go on bike rides, play baseball in the backyard, do puzzles, and of course get as mauch candy as possible. So Austin got his Halloween costume Spiderman from my parents. Megan has a hard time with scary things espacially masks so we will see if she will stand besides Austin when he puts his costume on. Austin also got Power Rangers from Tate, Hotwheels track from Kyle and Amy, and a Batman Shirt from Craig with some stickers. We all had fun seeing the family. We get together once a month at my parents to see each other.

My wife is crazy

Ok MAtt here again just thought I would post this for you all. I know you all have read, are reading or have heard of the Twilight book by Stephenie Meyer. My wife is crazy about these books, not just because she knows Stephenie, but because she was engrossed in these books. Can you say I have never seen someone read a book so quick. Just to give you an idea, I bought her the last (4th) book the day it came out in Utah. She started reading it thursday night, we drove home friday. She finished the book saturday morning. I know driving you have a lot of time but it was crazy because she made me drive with the light on so she could read. She even is making me a tee-shirt the says also one that says how crazy is this woman. Here is a hint



So for all you wives out there that haven't gotten in to this or that are just getting started please don't put your husbands through this. But hey who am I to tell you not to fall in love with a vampire or a werewolf. Even worse a friend of ours went to Forks WA and took several pictures and she freaked when she saw this It is the Cullen house ( I guess that is where Edward lived), Bellas truck, and a note from the Cullen family! WOOPIE!! Can you hear my excitement.



Well enough of my blabbering remember the movie comes out November 21st. Don't plan on doing anything that night.

Enjoy!

Hey guys Matt here, I don't do many posts just the behind the scenes stuff trying to make things look good. I wanted to post this for all to try to get the answer first, there may be something in it for that person. Remember to turn up your speakers for some sweet Halloween music!

Austin's first day

Austin's preschool started late because of little formalities dealing with the licensing. He is going to Santa Cruz Elementary School in their preschool class. He is in a speech therapy class to help him out but he is a great student and loved by his teachers!

My birthday





So in August I turned 29. Not yet 30 but of course soon to come. I had a really good birthday. As some of you know I have been in a sewing mood. My friends April Smith started a girls clothing line and asked if I would sew for her. I took the chance and ran with it. I had a lot of fun trying something that I dabbled with here and there. One of the things that I was borrowing was a surger and then a sewing machine. So my mother bought me my awesome surger and my mother in law bought me my wonderful sewing machine. I have been sewing lot of different things. I also got many other gifts that were wonderful. My sweet husband bought me my medicine cabinet for our bathroom. Yeah!!! I now have my bathroom that is organized. Loving that!!

Megan's first day of school



Yes Megan I know it is crazy but Megan is going to Shinning Star Preschool at Heidi Buckmisters. She goes there twice a week and boy does she love it. On her first day of school she wanted her dad to take her to the door. She is a daddy's girl. I like that she has fun playing and learning away from me. When Austin goes to school she wants to go as well. Not all the time is that possible and boy is she bummed. I am trying to get her away from her taking her blanket and sippy cup. So far I have gotten her to put them in her back pack. Thanks Heidi and Sherry for making it fun for her.

The raft ride




This was my parents favorite ride. They went down it a least couple of times. When we were in line waiting to go on the ride I was noticing all the people were wet! So I was wondering when we got the ride when we would get wet. Not until the end did we get drentched. The second time around Matt got it pretty bad. We had a lot of fun at Lagoon!!

Some fun Pictures







Here are some pictures of the kids having fun at Lagoon. I think these are the best. So a year or so the Wellys went to Lagoon and Matt thru the ball at Speedball. So he threw the ball and how fast did he throw this time? I think the air planes was the favorite with Megan and Austin. Orrin definitlely liked the boats and ringing the bell.

Our Trip to Lagoon




When we entered into Lagoon there was a Care Bear display. Now if you know Megan she is in love with Care Bears. When she saw the BIG purple Care Bear she wanted in so BAD!!!!! So when any two year old wants something they will whine and cry until they really get what they want. So Matt and I saw how bad she wanted it we played the game and yes she got her BIG Care Bear. The funny part was it was so big that she didn't want one that was so big. I thought she was kidding but after an hour with the big Care Bear she asked for a smaller one. So we ended up getting her two smaller ones. She was very happy for the moment.

Saying goodbye to the cabin







The Newitt family
Gandma and grandpa with their grand kids.
So we had fun at the cabin and hope that maybe someday we can go to another cabinand stay there. It was a good experience and made me thank all of our modern day luxuries. We saw lots of deer running all over. We also saw a lot of dead forrest from these red bugs that eat trees and kill them. Very sad to see brown trees all over the place.
