Football

Troy and I went to TJ's game a couple weeks ago...  great game and fun to see everyone!   Doesn't Sophia make a cute little cheerleader?

 

Gardner Village

Gardner Village has great Halloween decorations, and apparently is a popular place for family photos.  The Hickman clan met there before our walk down the Jordan River Parkway, and there were families everywhere taking pictures.  Haha!  Anyway... we took a few as well.  :) 

 TJ and Sophia

 

nieces and nephews... or at least most of them...

The wedding wouldn't have been complete without all our wonderful, fun, crazy nieces and nephews! We love them all so much and had a wonderful time with them!

wow.... i am such a blog slacker!!

Catching up a little....

happy birthday Elliott!!
happy birthday Dad!!

and just in case I don't get caught up before the weekend....
happy birthday TJ!!
happy birthday Darren!!

We have been very busy with wedding stuff, trying to make room in the house for Troy's belongings, the start of the Performing Arts season, a trip to Newport, and enjoying the summer as much as we possibly can!! We have spent lots of time at the pool and at the zoo too!

I have lots of photos from the zoo... and hopefully I will get those up soon too! We have 3 tiger cubs, along with a baby elephant, baby giraffe and of course the baby snow leopard. We have been thoroughly enjoying all the cute little animals!

Anyway... more soon!!

p.s. the question was raised about wedding registries again... Crate and Barrell and Restoration Hardware. :)

Shore Acres Botanical Gardens...

These gardens were so amazing!

Bandon and beyond....

Madison and TJ were adventurous enough to take off with Troy and I for a scenic drive back up the coast from Bandon to Coos Bay.... We had a WONDERFUL time with tons of laughter, singing, dancing, and way too much insight into the crazy minds of Troy and I! Hahaha!
