Family Pictures

We try and do family pictures every year so we can see how the kids and our family grows so this year my brother Dave took them and did a great job. Everyone's pictures turned out really well. Princess did not want her picture taken so we had to use one that Chris just took that day while we were waiting. I will post outtakes of Princess later to show how she really felt about getting her picture taken.


I love this picture of little man!!

Bum Scooting

Little Man learned how to scoot about 2 months ago and has been getting faster and faster everyday. We are so excited that he can finally get around the house. He is being a little bit stubborn and refuses to try walking. Sorry about the video the camera man is only 10.

Temple Square

Monday night we took the kids are Frontrunner and then over to Temple Square to see the lights. This is one of my favorite activity to do at Christmas time. I think the kids have more fun riding the train then they do seeing the lights.

This is the cutest hat ever. One of the special needs teachers at Woods Cross made it for him. It is so cute and even matches his coat.

Chris's sister Lisa and her little boy came with us. I thought my kids were excited to ride the train but it was nothing compared to her little boy. I think he pretended to blow a train whistle the whole trip there and back. It reminded me so much of when my boys were that age. Little boys are so much. I am grateful I have 3 of them.

Santa

We had our ward party on Saturday the kids were so excited to see Santa. This year they decided to do something fun and we sung karaoke Christmas songs. This Princess up front holding a candle.The boys with reindeer horns.

At the very end Santa came which is my boys favorite part. A couple of years ago 1st Son brought his list and gave it to Santa so he would be sure that Santa knew what he wanted.

2nd Son
Little man was not very excited to sit on Santa's lap and kept pointing at me so I would pick him up. At least he did not cry.

Princess ran for the door as soon as it was her turn so I had to sit on Santa's lap with her so she could tell him what she wanted. I love her!!

Fall

One of my favorite things about fall is playing in the leaves. 1st Son took Little Man outside and had a blast playing with him. Here are a few fun pictures of the kids playing.

Halloween Party

Each year for Halloween Chris's family has a party with all his family. My mother-in-law plans the whole thing and has fun games and activities for the kids to do. This is Little Man as a dragon. We tried to get a picture with the hat on but you could not see his cute face.

Pumpkin Patch

For FHE we took the kids to the pumpkin patch for a tractor ride and to pick their own pumpkin. This is the 9th year in a row and the kids love it.
I decided to put in past years pictures to see just how fast the kids have grown.
