About Our Family

Lance and I have been married for 10 years!!! We have 3 children, Kenton Doyle, McKelle Alyse, and our new arrival Avilynn Belle. Things are always crazy at our house between juggling work and home life. Even though life is hectic I love living it. It is so wonderful and such a blessing to have a family like ours!

Gymoboree Girl!!

So in light of what happened with McKelle going to the hospital, when it came time to buy fall/winter close ( which was the week she came home)...

I SPLURRRRGGGED!!!


I never buy her really expensive closes, I go to Walmart, Target, Children's Place for just a couple of things... But this year, I was online, and saw a few things.....

AND COULDN'T RESIST!!!

Ok, they were on sale, I don't think I could have done it at full price... So McKelle has a few totally decked out things in her closet, matching shoes, Bows, tights, socks, which make some SUPER CUTE OUTFITS!!!

Ok Ok, I didn't buy her everything there... I would have to take out a loan... just a few, but after everything, I just wanted to treasure every moment with her, make the most out of her little personality ALL GIRL- and dress her up... We have fun everyday putting her together, and she loves it as much as I do!

So I wasn't able to get her 3 year pictures until the fall,
but her outfit sure came in handy!!

Oops Forgot Halloween!

Our Outfits!
Kenton was Harry from Spider Man 3 as
THE GOBLIN!!
Or as he called it "Harry Goblin"
So he begged for Lance to be the Black Spider Man
So they could fight each other...
McKelle remembered her Kitty Kat costume I guess..
because when I asked her what she wanted to be
She wouldn't budge on being a Kitty Kat!
So at that point we weren't going to be a matching
family... So I drug out Cat Woman from a few years ago...

Hey she is still in the Super Hero/Villian Family..!
Aren't we cute Kitty's!

So I saved money on the girl costumes,
luckily they still fit!

We always go over to my mom's for Clam Chowder for
Dinner, and see the cousins... This year though my
sister with half of the clan has moved out of state,
so this was the whole group.

I know its eary for Christmas...

But I feel like I missed fall, so I am getting a head start on Christmas... and I loved this background! - 4 weeks wasn't enough!

Fall - Our Lives over the last Monthish!

Fall Drives....

We always go for Fall Drives up the canyon, but this year,
we ended up missing prime time to do it because of McKelle's
hospitalizaion.... But Kenton had a school project to collect
Leaves so we went up Little Cottonwood and got some leaves
and took a few pics.....
I am already looking forward to next year, I was bummed out!


Kenton tried his foot in Soccer! He loved it!


Harvest Time!!!We were finally able to pick our pumpkins, the kids
have been dying to do this all summer long!

Happy Birthday to You!!!

Lance had a birthday.... I don't know if he wants
his age posted.... We went to Cheezecake YUM YUM!
And had a little family get together afterwards!



One day I was downstairs, and I come up to find
McKelle doing this....

Her Princess's were swimming or bathing, I cant
remember now, but I though it was hilarious, sinse
she got the stool, filled up the sink and had
all of them in it... What could I do but laugh,
can't turn my back on her for a minute!
First and only dance class.... Poor baby, she
can't keep going right now, I am hoping soon!
