Happy Halloween!

This is how we happy 'halloweened' this year. Saturday night we had our ward 'trunk or treat' and the girls loved it! Can you guess what I dressed up as...????
Then we stopped by Grandma Woods before visiting Grandma and Grandpa Stewart on Halloween night. Then it was off to Auntie Steph's for some dinner and trick or treating around her block. We had lots of fun and I sure love these two little witches! Aren't they cute?!

Island Park

A few weeks ago we had the annual Anderson Island Park reunion. It was so much fun! Bart and Emily and their 2 adorable boys were able to come as well. We ate too much and stayed up to late, and skipped naps and such a great time. We went to Wade Lake, Big Springs, and played on the 4-wheeler that grandma and grandpa got the kids. It was so fun and we can't wait for next year!

 These 2 were so exhausted! Pretty cute.

 Just checking out all of the fish under the bridge.

 Kate 'accidentally' lost her shoes, so Uncle Bart went after them. :)

 Thanks U. Barty!

 They had a lot of fun on this little 4-wheeler.

Kate and Ryan did not want to say good-bye...Ryan could have done without the hug though. :)

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to us! Steven and I have been married for 5 years! Yay! :) We have 2 beautiful girls, have finished school, have a great job, a great home, and we couldn't be happier! I have been taking lots of trips down memory lane over the past week and it is so fun to see what our life has been like these last 5 years. I sure love you Steven and I am really the luckiest girl in the world! You are my favorite! Love you!

Fall Creek

Ottley Family Reunion 2012

Every year my mom's family has a big, and I do mean BIG, family reunion. This year it was at Fall Creek. We have come there many times and it was fun to take my girls (steven was working). We only stayed for a few hours because it we got rained out, but it was fun to see family I hadn't seen in a few years! Gotta love my mom's brothers and sisters, this is all 7 siblings.

 Keith looking awfully deep in thought!

 Great-Grandpa teaching Kate how to use chalk and a blackboard.

 Ellen loved being outside!

 This was a 'dry' tent for the kids, which they used plenty.

 Isn't he so cute? They sure love great-grandpa.

 This is only 8 of the little girls there. Not sure how many, I never counted them all.

 Kate and Auntie Stephy painting together! :)

The Crew...

Pack Saddle Lake

 We went camping for the first time as a family a few weeks ago and it was so fun! The girls did great in the tents and sleeping bags! We had food, fun, and a took a slippery trip down to the lake. Kate loved every minute of playing with her cousins, she talked about it for days after we got home. 

The Zoo and Feeding the Ducks

We recently went to the Zoo and the girls loved it! They got to pet a donkey and sit on the tiger. WOW! It was really fun and the animals were really active. We love our little family.

Feeding the Ducks by the River
The girls loved this, but Ellen was a little offended that we were giving her bread away! It was really cute.
