Annual Halloween Party!!!

Every year we have a Thorsted Halloween party. This year was super fun and the kids had a blast. They ate lots of yummy food and lots of candy and so did the parents.

Carter enjoying checking out all the yummy food.

Cousin Mark and Cousin Jack talking things out.

This was Carter's favorite part of the night. He loved swinging and hitting the bat. We couldn't keep him away.

Who is that handsome man behind the mask? Of course it's Camden.

Weekend Adventure

Well we had wanted to go camping last weekend but with us not knowing what the weather was going to be like and having lots of stuff we needed to do around the house. We decided to get some stuff done and then just go on a little adventure with the kids. We decided to hike up to the North Fork Waterfall. It was muddy and wet, but we had a blast. And luckily it wasn't too long of a hike.

Start of the hike


The end of the hike, thinking we will need to go back next spring when there is more then just a trickle of water coming down.


Camden was all about being the leader and he loved every minute of it.

Who needs Training wheels?

My little guy is getting so big. He is now offically riding with no training wheels. He is getting so big he has already grown out of his bike. Not to mention he's already worn out the tires. He's all about jumping dirt hills and going super fast. He is so good!! He loves to ride.

Fun Family Day

So Last Sat after planting our tree we decided to take a drive and check out the leaves and get a shake up at Bear Lake. We had such a great day, probably the best day we've spent together. It was just so fun doing things with the kids and they were so good the whole time.

First stop: Ricks Springs, Camden thought it was so cool to see water coming out of this little cave. And while we were there there were scubadivers coming out from the spring. Nate informed me you can scubadive into the spring and it leads into a cave.


Camden loved stopping at bear lake and getting to play in the water.

Cater had so much fun with the little waves and picking up shells.

Family pic of us in the water. The water felt great.

About Tree Time

The Thorsted's have finally bought a tree!! We have looked and looked and looked. And finally this year we found a tree that we liked and hey the price wasn't too bad either. The kids had a blast digging in the dirt and helping Nate. The next day after we planted the tree Camden wanted to know if we could go and plant another one. So it's nice to say we are finally the proud parents of a Red Sunset Maple tree.

The finished project!!

Time for school

So Camden is loving preschool, but I think Carter is getting a little jealous that Camden gets to leave and go have fun and wear a awesome book bag. Camden got a little book bag a couple years ago for his birthday and Carter has become a little attached with it. Every morning when Camden goes to put on his book bag Carter has to grab the other one and put it on thinking I wont realize and he will also get to stay at school. I'm sure he doesn't realize I've tried to leave him but for some reason the teacher notices that Carter isn't quit old enough to be there.
