November


 Jordan turned 32!!!
 







Little Easton


Ayden's turn with Penguin (from preschool)


indoor trampoline- It's an old couch, I really don't care!



 
  

This is what are meals have looked like for the past 4 years...

Our first Big snowfall! We thought it would be fun to take the kids sledding on a hill at the entrance of our neighborhood.  They loved it the first time down.  They went down smoothly and didn't tip.  The next time I went with them and made it tip,OK, BIG mistake on my part!!  Easton was in front and snow flew in his face, he didn't want to go in the first place, so he was mad and done!! Ayden became worried because his tipped with Ava on the way down, seriously, I should have just left them alone. They all pretty much got back into it and had fun (after a few tantrums), and surprisingly wanted to do it again!  They did a good job pulling the sleds up the hill (it wasn't a big hill, but high enough for some toddler sledding!) Maybe next year will go better!




 



Outside making their first snowman






 My sister took our pictures for our Christmas card and it took many, many takes and the very last one she took is the one we did! Seriously, the work it takes to just get them facing the same way! It's a good thing our kids are cute no matter how crazy or smile-less the picture gets!

October happenings

I really don't go out much! So, when I get the chance to go out with out kids, some great friends, and a little bit of shopping makes for a GREAT night!! It was so fun to catch up and wish we got a chance to get together more often!!




We started feeding Carter baby rice at 5 1/2 months

 
 Some of Easton's funny looks he gives

This is him trying not to smile

It's coming...

not quit yet...


 That's a little better...I am pretty sure I got him to smile though, no matter how grumpy he is it is not hard to get a smile and a laugh out of this sweet boy!


 Just a cute face!


The kids talking to Grandma Smith on Skype



Morning hair and Breakfast! =)


A blanket and Car Seat cover I made for my Sister-in-Law

Pancake Breakfast and Primary program practice


A walk before it got cold!! Gavin had Penguin this weekend from pre-school


Sweet baby Carter


The kids eating Fondu for the first time
Ayden and Gavin loved dipping their food, Ava and Easton just liked eating the food, especially the marshmellows!





 This was fun! There was a groupon for zip-lining and you could do it day or night.  I feel like there isn't much we can do because it takes us so long to get the kids down and the place cleaned up, so this was great that they offered it at night!! I was surprised Jordan went along with it! We couldn't have done it with out Jordan's Aunt Wendy and his cousin Julia who came to watch our kids!! So nice of them!! It was actually kind of scary soaring through with out being able to see where you are going.  It was a LONG night, but fun!! Next time I would love to do it during the day to see all the scenery!
