Halloween 2011

Kevin's nephews begged him to be the "Green Guy" for Halloween aka The Hulk. Kev never does anything half-way so of course - he went all out...as in...spray painting his entire body. Our tub is still stained green. LOL

We usually try to do joint costumes (remember Dora and Boots circa 2009?)


...and while I was not ready to be the She-hulk like Kevin requested, I was fine with sticking to the Superhero theme and went as Batgirl. This year we even got the dogs dressed up.



All the little boys on the hubby's side stayed true to the Superhero theme. They looked so cute! :)






We also went to a couple of Halloween parties. I didn't get great photos (I need to be better at taking my camera and remembering to take pictures.

Pumpkin Patch 2011

We had our 2nd annual Pumpkin Carving night with friends - we've decided we'll keep this tradition up forever...or....at least till we can't get out of our wheelchairs. :) I'd never been to a pumpkin patch before so Kevin took me. It was worth the extra drive time.. :)








Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the actual carving this year, but I promise it happened!!

Hiking with Chloe

The beginning of August we decided to take Chloe on a hike through some of the trails up Millcreek Canyon. Kevin was skeptical about taking her off the leash and letting her be "free", but she was so obedient and stayed right with us - just as I knew she would. Chloe like to take the lead and stayed a few steps ahead of us. We would occasionally stop and take a little break and she stayed right with us and waited until we were ready to go again. Such a good girl!


Before heading out, we read about Doggy Backpacks that you can fill with water, food, waste deposit bags, etc., that we decided to get for her. Not only does your dog carry their own supplies, but it's supposed to be good for working class dogs as it makes them feel as though they have a job....oh and as an added bonus - it tires your pooch out faster. Score.

Triple A Allstar Game

The Triple A Allstar game was held in Salt Lake this year and Kevin was able to get a few tickets so that my dad and I could go. It was a packed which made for good people watching. :)


Kevin and his co-workers did such a good job on the field. They painted stars throughout as well as cut stripes into the outfield. It looked awesome!!

Taryn Gets Married

One of my old friends from high school got married on Kevin's birthday as well, it was a busy, busy day.

Taryn and Cody got married up Millcreek Canyon at the Millcreek Inn. The venue was breathtaking! I had the best view during the ceremony and was able to get killer photos.



It was nice to visit with old friends I hadn't seen in awhile and meet new ones at our table.



Congratulations guys!! So happy and excited for you both!

Kev & Chloe's Birthday

Kevin decided that for his birthday this year he wanted to go clay pigeon shooting. I was a little nervous about it because I'd never been, and the one time prior that I had fired a shotgun killed my shoulder...but we had a blast!




Pfft...Kevin put me to shame by hitting almost every target (even when I'd trick him and send more than one out at once) but I got 2!!! So proud of myself. Even though it was only a few, IT WAS DANG HARD!!



When we were done, we went home to give Chloe and the other dogs Birthday Pizza to celebrate Chloe's birthday. LOL... Best.Chloe.Picture.EVER. (She was so excited that she was smiling.)

Race for the Cure 2011

In May the Asay family all got together for the yearly tradition of Race for the Cure. This time was a little different as Wendy was re-diagnosed with breast cancer in March after being in remission for several years. By the time the race came around, she was already in the middle of bi-weekly chemo treatments.



Asay's Angels 2011

This is a yearly tradition that will go on for many years to come. No matter what everyone has going on, we all pull together and participate in this event every year.
