Merry Christmas!

The day I took this was the day we decided to do it. We almost didn't take one. Everyone has been sick so we just didn't feel like it. Not to mention how behind on everything else we were. But here it is! And I have to say it actually turned out fast and easy.  I know it is not perfect or even close but at least we have it and we all finished with happy faces!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Silly Kiddos

Michael liked his pumpkin pie!

As for these pictures I have no idea what they are doing! Michael has to wear gloves to bed to keep his skin from bleeding. Poor kid.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving dinner with Joe and Drew. I love living by family to share the holidays with. These were the only pictures I took though. You know how it is the mom is always busy! Aidan loves this wagon and Michael liked being pulled around in it! It was a win win!

By the way, that bruise on Michael's face was over a week old by this time. That thing lasted forever! It looked like I took a blackmarker and check marked his cheek!

Don's Birthday!

Don turned 36 this year! All he wanted was peach cobbler for his cake. So thanks to Jenna I made him a yummy peach cobbler!

As for this picture I don't know why she did it but I am glad she did! HEHE

Elena Turns 11!

Wow! I almost have a girl in Young Women's! Amazing! Well she is amazing. This year she opted for a bought red velvet cake. So we asked around where to find the best red velvet cake and got it there. As far as red velvet cake goes it was REALLY good. But for me it is just not my cup of tea.

My sweet little Elena!

Halloween Time

Adelyn had to dress up as a character from a book. This is what we ended up with. The only problem is that I guess you are not allowed to wear a wig! HEHE oh well!

Here are all the kids in their costumes for Trunk or Treating! Even Tia got in on the costumes this year. Elena pick out her bat costume.

Pumpkin Patch?

I would really like to actually go to a pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin off the vine. I am sure there is places to do that. There has to be! We picked out and almost made it to the car with a rotten pumpkin. GROSS! I want FRESH ones! Alright, here are the kids at the "Pumpkin Patch"!

Don held Michael while I helped the kids pick out their pumpkin.

Michael's 1st Birthday

I can't believe he is 1! When you know he is probably the last, it makes it go so much faster! I think you enjoy the little moments just a little more. He is my little sweet boy!

We decided to try an icecream cake from Cold Stones this year. It was yummy, but I think I prefer real cake.

Lulu obviously got her self dressed!

Here is her after cake shoot.

These two just wanted to take some silly pictures. And anytime they want me to take a picture I will!

Adelyn asked me if this was a face from a nightmare. I was thinking that it clearly wasn't scary, just silly!

Hyrum's 7th Birthday

Lulu was waiting so patiently for the cupcakes. I just had to take a picture.

Even Michael was quietly waiting. So calm. Till he got the cupcake! He loved tearing it up!

These were the cupcakes that Hyrum picked out for his birthday cake. Later he told me he only wanted them for the candy corn! Crazy kid!

Happy Birthday Hyrum!!! It has been such a pleasure being your mother!

I am a MEAN mom!

Yes I am! This is the first time these two little ones have rode in these kind of shopping carts. I love their expressions on their faces!! It was the coolest thing EVER for them. I just don't let them ride in them because of the backlash it has next time you go shopping. But on this day I didn't care.
