A little of What We've been up to the past Month...

Some hunting time with Derrik's Family...

A bunch of Derrik's Family Met up in Ephraim for a little Bowling Fun right before Thanksgiving. Lacee Ended up beating EVERYONE (yes even the boys) I was glad to see a girl Finally beat those Competitive Brothers, Go Lacee :)

Lacee & Jessica

Kray was even learning how to bowl!

The Boys SO excited for pictures...

I swear Kray really Does like his Aunt Bridget (Even though Every picture I post, seems otherwise.)

Thanksgiving Time!

Stacey, Lacee, and I helping with Thanksgiving Dinner! This year I decided to Make my Mom's Homeade Turkey Stuffing for the Shakespear's. I was a little nervous I would mess it up, but it turned out to quite Yummy, ALmost as good as my Mom's ;)

The Day after Thanksgiving we all headed up the mountain to Derrik's Dad's Cabin. He has been building it since Derrik and I got married and has had alot of stuff go wrong, but it is Finally all finished except for the Carpet and Appliances and is SO Nice!

All of the girls huddled around the fireplace doing what we do :)

Kray & Brenda

Alayna & Kade decided to do a little P90X with me one morning, how cute are they!

Our Trip to Austin Texas
I couldn't believe how Green it was in Texas. I always thought it was Brown and Desert looking, but I was Definitely wrong, it was REally pretty!

We got to go watch the Spurs and the Mavericks play one of the nights that we were in San Antonio and this is what I was doing the Entire game :)

Us checking out the River Walk.

and the Alamo...

Derrik wouldn't let us leave Austin without at least checking out the University of Texas' Stadium, he was like a kid in a Candy Shop!

SO Everyone has been on my case about being a blogging "slacker" lately so I'm Finally giving in and posting a little something! Our lives have been Extremely... Different and Hectic the past 3 or 4 months, hence the neglect of our blog! This Post is all from Sept/Oct "happenings"! Hope Everyone is having a Fabulous Fall Season...

A few Pictures from Derrik's Grandpa's Favorite Occasion that we attend Every Sept in Logan. I Love going just to watch him Dance the Night away. He never even takes a break all night, he just takes one girl after another... too Funny!


Stacey, me, and Lacee
Dustin and Grandpa Vernon



I FINALLY got to see my Friend Eliza, she had been gone for a Whole year. We worked together forever, so it was a Treat for Jamie and I to Catch up with her:)
LOVE these girls :)

Derrik and I were in Oklahoma City during our 3 year Anniversary, so we decided to go check out the Oklahoma City National Memorial- I Loved it! Since I was only 9 when it happened I didn't really remember anything, so it was interesting to go around the monument and read about it. This is the view from the Front of the Memorial, the Water is where the Building use to stand.

This is the "Survival Elm Tree" it is the Emblem for the Memorial to lend strength to the families who were directly impacted as well as the entire city.

We were So amazed at how Quiet and Peaceful it was, even though it was Right in the heart of the city.

Each Chair Represented each person that died, they even had baby sized chairs :(

This was outside the gates of the memorial, everyone had come and left tokens, and memorabilia for their loved ones lost!

These are square tiles that little kids from all over the world hand painted individual messages of Hope, they were all SO sweet and heart wrenching!

A little Update!!!

We have been enjoying the last few months of summer with family before we move away. Lots of BBQ's, camping, trips, etc! I am SO glad I have been able to be at my Mom's and Angie's for the past 5 months while Derrik has been gone. We have had SO much fun, its been nice getting to spend lot's more time with family, mainly because I have the BEST !!!!

Yearly King Family Skeet Shoot Contest!

Always a good time, so I wanted in on the action. I have NEVER shot a... Umm shot gun I think its called?? Anyway I was always scared because they seem to kick. Well a small kick is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Those things HURT, it didn't feel like it looked when a dude shoots the gun.
Me Happy before I attempt it....
Yeah the look on my face says it all. I looked at my Dad like what the heck, he told me I would barely feel it :( I only attempted to hit the skeet 2 times then I was DONE for the year!!!

Brady and Tru watching the show!

Alayna wanted No part in the skeet shoot, it was nice though because she actually wanted to snuggle ;)

-Kade and Kanyon trying to be helpful-

My uncle Kenny dissappeared for a bit to take as snooze... seriously who can sleep on a 4-wheeler???

The Boys off to hunt birds.... (tiny, legal birds that is)They also went Bear hunting while we were up there. They had a HUGE group of people and ended up finding one :( YIKES!!!!

I got to take Angie's kids for a whole WEEK while they went on a little Vacation. We had LOTs of fun, luckily uncle Brady and Derrik were there to help for some of that week :) So these are pictures of Alayna being in "trouble" (not so much, I have to keep turning my head to laugh when she's naughty) but we were at my mom's house and she kept saying "pretties Bridget Pretties" Well I kept telling her no because I thought she meant she wanted her hair done and the day was almost over so.... anyways I continued reading the Reaper and all of the sudden I caught a wiff of FINGERNAIL POLISH... Oh Yes she was over on my moms table doing her "pretties" Luckily she didnt get it all over my moms table and chairs, she mostly got it on herself, but I guess I learned my lesson to LISTEN when she is trying to tell me something :) We had so much fun all week with them, thanks Ang and Jarad for letting me have them! I might just sneak them Away when I move too???

Going to the Airport to pick up Derrik!

Kade's First Day of Pre school... Such a handsome little guy! He was SO excited for school!

-7 Peaks-
Seriously this little girl LOVES LOVES LOVES her Grandma, but most of all her Grandma's Pony!!! So we got our boots on and went on one of the MANY pony rides around the yard!

Derrik's Parents took us out one of the nights that he was here, we went and met them for dinner and a little game of miniature golf! We also went up with the whole family to Logan for their grandpa's Annual Glen Miller Band Dance- My camera broke when we were there so more pictures to come later when I get them from Lacee!
A quick girls trip to Vegas... I decided to go down and kinda look at the areas and where to live, etc and my Aunt Stephanie was nice enough to volunteer to take us around since she knew her way! We went to cheesecake (of course) and had lots of fun just hanging out driving and maybe a little shopping too ;)

I made my mom take this picture... seriously she thought she was ordering a little salad and this is what she got.... It was HUGE!!!

LOVE THEM!!!!

And a little Mountain Drive with my mom to check out the Fall colors!!! I LOVE the mountains this time of year.
