Friends are flowers in life's garden.

Oh Peyton, you're so cute!
Sammy and Peyton go on a train ride.



Together again.
Jill and Diana get the kids together to keep the spark alive. It was so nice to hang out like old times and let the kids run around and play.



Carson and Samantha, the bee and the fairy, giving thumbs up.

Don't worry Peyton, Carson is just my cousin. (wink, wink)




Hanging out with the cousins!
Madison, Samantha, Kennedy and Carter at Vineyard Gardens pumpkin patch.



Our little Cinderella.


Sammy loved Halloween this year. It was so fun to see her try to run around the neighborhood with some of the older kids on the block, lugging her pumpkin bag full of candy.


Halloween Day with the cousins.

Eliza, Carson, Samantha, and Ethan all decked out and ready for trick-or-treating.



Mommy and Sammy enjoying the beautiful fountain at a new park in Orem.


How I like to go up in a swing,
up in the sky to blue.
Oh I do think it the pleasantest thing
ever a child could do.


Samantha and cousin Madison.

Grandpa Scott and Grandma Ronda grew pumpkins in his backyard this year and we made it home just in time for Sammy to pick out her very own!



Sammy and Daddy Snoozin' after the long trip back to Utah.



Sammy coloring in her sleep.
Sammy was a total trooper on the trip home. We were worried if she would be able to hold out or not and she ended up doing better than mommy:-) No really, she did.




We took the long way home so that we could see Mt. Rushmore! It was well worth it.
George, Thomas, Teddy and Abe haven't aged a bit. We learned a lot and had an delicious ice cream cone.



Hitting the open road!
We love you and will miss you all.



Waving good-bye to our sweet friends at Legend Park. Susan, Leslie, Gerri and Antonio always offered a friendly smile, a warm greeting, and plenty of goodies for Sammy.
We miss you guys!


The last party with our pals in Schaumburg. It was truly bitter sweet.
