Pizza Party!

We had a house full of kids tonight for a late night! Dylan invited his buddies over for pizza and video games! They have so much fun together and giggle the entire time! Avery had a friend over too for games and dancing!

Kobe Dixon, Steve Bennett, and Dylan

Avery and her friend, Emmalee Harward!

Silly boys!

GROSSS, D!

While the Boys are away.....

Kirk and the boys got invited to go with Tony Abbott and his friends/family to Arizona to hunt Javalina (small wild pigs)! They left on Wed. afternoon and were gone until Sun. night! They drove down to Wilcox, Arizona, where it was about 75 degrees. They stayed in tents and camped like "real men"! They had a lot of fun and saw quite a few pigs, but only got a few shots at them! Unfortunately for them / fortunately for me they didn't get one! But they had a great time with all the other boys!

This is the only picture that they took of all the hunters!

The Mighty Hunters with their kill!

So, while the boys were gone, Avery and I had a really fun girls weekend planned....We ordered out dinner, painted nails, watched movies, did arts and crafts, played hair dresser, went to movies, had sleepovers, and played hard! It was really good to just to have one on one time with her!

Her favorite part was that she got to sleep in my bed every night and we slept in every morning

(my favorite part)! Another one of her favorites was going up to the Children's Museum in SLC with Grandma Clayson and the Jeffers family! We spent all day there playing....so much fun!
