Christmas!

Dallin talked during church before Christmas.  He did a great job! We ate with family afterwards and had a great time hanging out.

We went to friends home Christmas Eve and ate yummy food! 

We played games and enjoyed the company.

We changed into our jammies.

We read the Christmas story.

We sent the kids off to bed.

We had a great Christmas!

We love Christmas and time with family.

We were up early and unwrapping presents.

We played with out new toys the rest of the day.

Michael got me a medal display board.  It looks like I need to run more races!  :)

Michael performed his first wedding.  He did a great job.

He has also preformed a second wedding already too.

Light up the Square

We had a good time at our city's annual light up the square event.

The kids got to sled.

We always enjoy the show.

They also enjoyed the train ride

We love our city.

Happy Birthday Joshua!

I officially have a teenager.  It is weird.  Joshua went to play paintball.

They had a great time.

We ate lasagna and had chocolate lasagna for his Birthday.  We are so grateful he is a part of our family.  He is super smart and growing learning new things every day.  

Thanksgiving Break

We hit up the zoo with Michael.

It was a little cold, but we had a good time.

We also had Thanksgiving this week.  

I forgot to take pictures but we fed a large crowd.  We did the turkey trot in the morning and at in the evening.

We had a great time with family.

Michael also got to do his turkey bowl with a few of the boys.

We are so grateful for time together as a family!

Camp Out

Evan and Dallin went on a camp out.

They got to ride horses.

They had a great time.

They also learned gun safety.

They enjoyed shooting

Kim Palmer is amazing to show the kids and let them ride his horses.

Dallin loves the smell of fire and loved shooting.  Joshua had to go to a band event so he couldn't make it to the camp out.

Halloween and Lousiana

We held the neighborhood Halloween party at our house.  We had a great time.

We set up a little photo booth.

We served food and made smores.

The kids trading candy after trick or treating.

We traveled to Baton Rouge this weekend to check out the temple open house.

We hiked around a swamp while we were there.

We saw like 5 turtles in the water.

They had animals for us to look at.

It was nice to stretch our legs before the drive back.

We loved seeing the temple.

The kids really enjoyed it as well.

We were glad we made the trip.

Eating at Wendy's was a disaster we ended up having two spilled drinks and one kid threw up.  We cleaned it all up, but who puts carpet in the dining room???
