The Big 9

Well I am proud to say that today Kenyon and I have been married for nine years. What a cool thing to be able to say. We were so young when we were married. I was barely 18 and he was 21 and we thought we knew it all! Little did we know we would have some major bumps in the road and Im sure there are more to come, but they have all been worth it.. It is so fun to remember the night of our reception and what we where doing at this time of night. I remember the NEVER ENDING LINE of people who came to support and congratulate, the loud music from the DJ, the yummy pumpkin rolls, the silver confetti stars that where everywhere, my beautiful bridesmaids, my 20 lb bouquet (which was beautiful), all of our wonderful family, and most of all my handsome new husband!! Things definately did not turn out the way I had imagined they would when we were first married,,, they turned out so much better. I can't wait for #10

Halloween Party

Mataya and Hunter (Belle and Mr Incredible)

The Girls

The Iversons

Scary

Cute Princess's

The Dorius Family, some nun's and Belle

Last night I laughed harder than I have laughed in a long time.. Something about Halloween brings out the giggles in me. We went to a costume party, and I have to say there where some pretty good costumes. I have always loved the holiday, but having a family of my own to dress up with is so much fun. There was lots of yummy food, games for the kids, and a costume contest for the adults.(we won the best couples costume, and Kenyon won the best guy/girl costume). So being in the festive mood I was in, I decided to enter the women's potato sack race. It was to funny!! Keep in mind that there was alot of people watching this. There where about 10 lady's in the race. I was tied for the lead with my friend Melissa and just when we where about to cross the finish line we both biffed it big time. Kenyon came running out on the field yelling WE HAVE A NUN DOWN, WE HAVE A NUN DOWN. This made me laugh even harder, I think I may have peed a little!! Little Miss Mataya was the prettiest Princess there. She could not figure out why everyone looked so different in all the costumes. She just sat and watched everyone in Awe. It was such a fun time. I can't wait for Halloween night...

The Block Party

Last night our neighboorhood had our 3rd annual block party! It is seriously so much fun. Of course I forgot my camera, so here's a sneak peak of what goes on..

1. Permission from the city to block off the street.

2. The big bounce house (Mataya's Favorite Thing In The World)

3. Lot's of yummy food

4. The big football game in the middle of the road

5. Alot of talking and ALOT of laughing.. (SULLIVANS)

6. Did I mention the food?

7. Good Neighboors and Friends..

Anyways after we left last night we felt so fortunate to live in such a great area and have so many good friends here. We feel so blessed to have ended up in such a great place. I can honestly say that never in my wildest dreams would I have picked to live in Hurricane. But I absolutely love it!! And we are finally getting a WalMart Woo Hoo!!! We love you CobbleStone Friends..

The Horse Obsession

Okay so I know that this picture was taken a while ago, but ever since we went to the Dixie Round Up, Mataya has been obsessed with horses. She is constantly saying "giddy up". She has been playing with horses, acting like a horse, and getting lots of horesy rides from Daddy. This little obsession has been kind of cute until today when I caught her trying to ride zeezee ( the 5 pound pomeranian) like a horse. How do you explain to a 2 yr old that you can't ride a dog? I could have had some dang hillarious pictures but Kenyon has my camera on the hunt with him!! I Curse the Deer Hunt! Thanks to Uncle Brent (The Grand Marshal) for taking such a cute picture..

Fun Fall Weather..

The last couple of days the weather has been perfect. Our yard is looking so good. I am sad to see winter come and make it look yucky!! Miss Mataya has figured out how to open the back door and let herself outside. She thinks it's way funner out there than inside, but I guess all kids are like that. Today was a good day I did some hair and played with Tay. I am getting totally addicted to this blog stuff. Do you ever get tired of it?

Bonding Time.

From the day we brought Mataya home from the hospital our Dogs have never been very fond of her. Expecially zeezee! Chloe was very curious but always kept her distance. They where very jealous. The funny thing about it is Mataya is totally obsessed with them. One of her first words was "zeezee". After two years they are finally starting to warm up to her. I found her in her room the other day talking to Chloe like they were best friends. It was priceless, so I had to snap some pictures.

Saturday Night Smores

Saturday night we decided to have a fire out in our back yard. Of course you can't have a fire without smores!! So that's what we did. We roasted marshmallows and pigged out. Kenyon's sister Paula was staying with us so we laughed alot, like we usually do when we are with any of his family. It was so much fun. Little Miss Mataya was a crack up. She would'nt sit with any of us or on a chair. The only thing she wanted to sit on was my best plant. Because she is super spoiled we let her do it.
