HALLOWEEN

Halloween is always a treat for every kid.

Parker was incredibly excited about the days events.

He was excited about the party at school and being allowed to wear his costume.

He was excited about trick-or-treating at my work, and at night with Stryder.

He ran so fast between every house I couldn't believe he had the energy to

keep going, and he hadn't even had candy yet.

Fo Co Road Trip

Fun trip to Fort Collins, Colorado. My friend Dustin

moved out there about 6 months ago.

So a group of us, (Erin, Austin, Justin, and me) took

a road trip to visit him. So much fun, great little

college town, everything Logan could be :)

Here are some pictures from our adventure.

KINDERGARTEN

Parker had his very first day of school!!!!

He is going to Thomas Edison Charter School, and is loving every minute of it.

Here are some pic's of the day.

Parker sitting in his desk, so grown up!

New York!!

NYC Career Acceleration Trips!

I also organized a trip for finance and marketing students to NYC. We went to Bloomberg broadcast, Time Inc., Michael Kors, Shady Records, and Coltrin & Associates. I am super excited about the job opportunities that are available to me out there, it's exciting to think next year I could be anywhere!

Ann (the other faculty lead for the trip, and the women with all the connections), Brittany and I stayed the weekend in NY to play and enjoy the city. What didn't we do? We hit the museums, went dancing, shopping, restaurants, and toured every neighborhood for apartments!

Coming over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan at sunrise.

July 24th Skate Competition

Directive Skateboard Competition, July 24th 2011.

Haley and I took the boys, (Parker & Stryder) to watch the

skateboard competition. They both quickly got bored with just watching,

and wanted to skate. Jake came and told us no one was

using the bowl during the competition so they could skate there.

They never got of the bowl until it was time to go. Everyone couldn't believe these two cute little boys skating their little hearts out. Hopefully next year they can compete!!

San Francisco & Seattle

San Francisco & Seattle all in one week.

I organized a student career acceleration trip for Utah State University. We started in San Francisco, where we visited San Francisco 49er's, Google, Pertola Pharmaceuticals, Plug N Play Tech Support, and an old friend, Keira.

After two days we flew to Seattle, where we visited Microsoft, ProjectLine, Seattle Seahawks and Sounders, and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Overall the trip was incredibly successful, and we all made a number of contacts for our future networks in our journey of finding "jobs".

In the evening during our free time Brittany and I had the privilege of hanging out with her aunts. Sheri, the aunt that lives in Seattle took us out on her boat and all around the area, which you can kind of see in some of our photos, she even let me drive her boat!

I stayed the weekend with another one of my BFF's Chalene, and how either of us made it the entire weekend with out one photo is beyond me, but we had a great time catching up. I would be all too lucky to land a job in Seattle so I could be closer to her and her adorable family.

Awesome skate park next to the space needle.

Parker Graduated Pre-School

Parker Graduated Pre-School

It was so cute to watch all the kids

present what they learned for the year.

The little girl in the red is Parkers

BFF and Girlfriend Kentlee McKnight.

The graduation was great but a bit

long at 2 1/2 hrs!!!!

Disney Land Day 3.....& 4?

The last day at Disney Land, kind of bitter sweet.

We decided to let Parker decide where we

would go the last day. He wanted to ride his favorite rides,

starting with the Haunted Mansion, Autopia, The Matterhorn,

and Big Thunder Mountain. Next we did some more

exploring in California Adventure. Where Parker

and I went on the Hotel Tower of Terror. Nana wussed

out, so it was the two of us. Parker ended up not

liking the ride, however he had to go on it twice to decide.

Above: Parker in line at the Matterhorn, where he kept

scaling the fence and getting his flip flops stuck!

Below: Parker and I in line at the Haunted Mansion.

Above: Parker was so excited to see Mater and Lighting McQueen.

Below: Nana and Parker at the airport before we left, on our longer

than expected journey home.

Above: Our planes were delayed and the plane from Phoenix to

SLC was eventually canceled at 1am. I am so lucky that Parker fell

asleep around 10:30 and didn't wake up until 5am the next day,

which was perfect because our flight left at 6:20 am. The experience

was less than pleasant, so I don't recommend South West for great

customer service in the event of your flight being canceled or delayed.

I was able to sleep a little on those chairs, Nana slept none!

Below: 6:30 am Parker on his flight home. He looked at both

me and Nana and said, "I'm done, I'm done Nana, let's go home."

He then asked if we could go back to Disney Land on Sunday.
