Halloween Night!

2014-11-03T22:28:00.001-07:00

I normally get pictures of the kids trick or treating but I didn't get any this year! I was having too much fun watching them that I forgot to pull out the camera. I guess that's good though. At least I was able to snap this cute picture before we got going. Gosh I love these kids and the fun they bring to our lives! They make holidays WAY more fun! Brynlee got very in to trick or treating this year! She was such a trooper! Boston got about a block away and passed his mask and his pillow case off to Grandpa to carry. It was cracking me up because Randy was wearing the mask on his head and carrying around this sack...he totally looked like he was trying to trick or treat too! Fenway just hung out in the stroller and didn't make one sound! About 2 minutes before we got done trick or treating he finally dozed off. Just to get woke up from me getting him out of the stroller. All three kids fell asleep seconds after hitting their pillows. I'd say that it was a successfully fun night!

Halloween Parade/Party

2014-11-03T22:22:00.002-07:00

Boston had his very first Halloween Parade on Friday! He was so excited and so were we! Brynlee could hardly wait to see all the costumes! Plus I finally got a picture of Fenway's pucker face! It cracks me up!

After the parade we volunteered to help with his class Halloween party! It is always so much fun to go in to Boston's classroom and see him interact with his little buddies! Greg also got to try out being a room dad. He was having a little too much fun, I think. I love that we are able to do things like this!

He Stands!

2014-11-03T22:02:00.001-07:00

I can't believe this kid is already pulling himself up to things! I'm in trouble!

Trick or Treat Street!

2014-11-03T22:00:00.002-07:00

All ready for our first trick or treating adventure of the season!

We had so much fun at Trick or Treat Street this year! It was super windy but we powered through it! They had a fun little haunted house for the kids to walk through and some fun Halloween activities for them to do! They also had a photo booth but the line was a mile long so we skipped that.

I just can't get enough of this little pumpkin head!

Scheels

2014-11-03T21:54:00.001-07:00

Scheels is always guaranteed to provide us with fun! Boston was cracking me up all night long with his poses. He and I rode on the Ferris wheel...turns out they kind of terrify me! I don't think it would have been too bad but the guy stopped the ride to let people on and Boston and I were stuck at the very top for what seemed like forever! I'm not a fan of heights. Boston kept leaning forward to try to find Grandma Debbie and it was freaking me out! He thought it was hilarious though...

I love spending time with my cute kids!

Tea Party

2014-11-03T21:47:00.001-07:00

Brynlee got to have a Tea Party with the Fairy Godmother! She was so excited!

Growing up

2014-11-03T21:45:00.000-07:00

This kid refuses to stay small and I'm not sure I like it...

Pumpkin Patch 2014

2014-11-03T21:43:00.001-07:00

We love this time of year! The kids always look forward to going to the pumpkin patch! This time we stayed close to home and it was so fun! There was a couple corn mazes for the kids, and they loved them! We went early enough that there were a TON of pumpkins to choose from! The kids had a ball!

My big Sitter!

2014-11-03T21:39:00.001-07:00

My big sitter!...and my photo bomber.

6 Months!

2014-11-03T21:37:00.005-07:00

This kid makes my heart flutter every time I see him. He is such a momma's boy and I love it! He gets super excited when I say "hi" to him. He has started sleeping through the night and is super close to crawling. He loves bath time, eating, and practicing moving from one side of the room to the other. We are so blessed to have him in our family.

Fenway's first tooth

Brynlee's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!

2014-11-03T21:35:00.004-07:00

Just tweezed this long knex out of my daughter's nose. This Sabbath has been everything BUT a day of rest for this momma.

First the knex...then a horrible fat lip minutes after we arrived at Grandma's house.

Crazy Kids!

2014-11-03T21:30:00.004-07:00

Good old fashioned playing. I love these crazy kids!

1st day of Dance!

2014-11-03T21:28:00.003-07:00

Walking in to Dance class!

Shuffle, Shuffle, Shuffle...

I dare say she has NEVER been so excited for something as she was for her dance class. So excited in fact that she was in her clothes and ballet shoes and her class wasn't for another 3 hours. I can't lie though, I was pretty excited too! I LOVE that she is such a little dancer. We have been practicing shuffles and ball changes for tap and her favorite "ballet moves".

Chile Roast

2014-11-03T21:21:00.001-07:00

So there's this little farm not far from us that had their first annual chile roast. We decided to go check it out. We weren't disappointed!

Boston and Grandpa had a watermelon eating contest. Boston won an Applebeer it of it! He was pretty proud of himself.

Who knew that playing in a giant box of corn could be so much fun?

We finally got our faces painted! The kids were so excited! We had so much fun at the Chile Roast! Can't wait for next year!

Jason and Katie's Wedding!

2014-11-03T21:16:00.002-07:00

We were so excited for Jason and Katie to tie the know! We were honored to be a part of their special day! Greg was the Best Man, Boston was a Ring Bearer, and Brynlee was the Flower Girl! I love how adorable they all looked! Boston and Greg were pretty sharp in their suits and Brynlee loved her "wedding" dress! They also surprised us with a super cute tuxedo onsie for Fenway!

At dinner I witnessed Boston stealing his sister's drink. It cracked me up! I'm so glad I captured it in the pictures!

Their wedding was absolutely beautiful! Jason and Katie are two of the most giving and kind people! We absolutely love them and were so happy to be involved in their big day!

Boston randomly disappeared at one point in the night...When he returned he proudly told me he went into the photo booth by himself! Props and everything! This kid cracks me up!

Love these boys!

I'm not the best at timing...2 out of 4 isn't bad though, right?

My family...we were having too much fun with the photo booth!

I love this man!

Princesses and Spiderman.

2014-11-03T20:55:00.002-07:00

Waited in line for 2 hours today to see some princesses and Spiderman... It was all worth it to see the happiness in these cuties eyes.

Preschool

2014-11-03T20:53:00.002-07:00

B is for Ballerina! Our first day of "school" went great! Can't wait to see her learn and get better along the way.

Friendship Bracelets

2014-11-03T20:52:00.002-07:00

We made friendship bracelets after church! I'm hoping that if I constantly refer to them as best friends they might always consider each other best friends. Crossing my fingers that it works.

Utah State Fair

2014-11-03T20:50:00.002-07:00

We woke up one morning and decided to head to the fair! So we jumped on trax for a fun little family adventure!

I love that they are friends!

The kids loved looking at all the fun animals!

Greg and Brynlee went down a giant slide, the kids rode a couple rides, we looked around the booths, ate lots of food, and had a lot of family fun time!

Gale Center

2014-11-03T20:47:00.003-07:00

We went on a little adventure over to the Gale Center Museum! It was so much fun! The kids loved playing in the little house and store. I'm so glad we finally got to go!

4 Months!

2014-11-03T20:38:00.004-07:00

This little cutie is 4 months old. He is SO happy and is always smiling and taking. He loves to roll over and suck on his big toe...he favors his left foot. He has started to notice food and gives me the "longing" look every time he sees us eat. We all just love this little man. He brings so much happiness to our lives.

Brynlee's Birthday

2014-11-03T20:31:00.002-07:00

Brynlee Turns 3!!

We woke Brynlee up with breakfast in bed...purple confetti pancakes and purple milk. Then we hurried and opened some presents before Daddy had to go to work. She got a Barbie dress from Boston, a Kitchen set from Mommy and Daddy, and a special package from Grandma Nee and Grandpa Jerry with a Lego set inside! She was so excited!

After we all got up and ready we headed to the County Fair. It wasn't as exciting as it has been in the past but we still had fun! Boston talked Aunt Lindsey, Emma, and Avery into going in the giant bubbles with him. Brynlee thought it looked scary so she hung out with me on the sidelines. We rode some ponies and looked at some booths. That was that.

We got home in time for a short rest and then it was party time! We had lots of people come to help celebrate! Brynlee loved it! She got so many fun presents and best of all she got to play with all of her fun cousins!

This little girl can bring sunshine to the darkest day. She is so full of life and laughter! She is definitely her own little person with her own ideas about pretty much everything. She plays at least 3 different characters every day (sometimes more). She is a girly girl through and through! She loves shoes, clothes, and anything pretty! She has such a fun little personality and keeps us laughing. We sure love our Brynlee Boo.

First day of 1st Grade!

2014-11-03T15:12:00.002-07:00

My big buddy started 1st Grade! I can hardly believe that this kid is old enough to go to school for a full day! I cried a little a couple times...but honestly its been kind of nice to have my one on one time with Brynlee and Fenway. It goes by pretty fast too. I am so impressed with how much he has learned and continues to learn! He is such a little smarty pants! I love that he loves school. I also love that he loves to read. He is constantly surprising me with how much he knows. I sure love this kid. I just wish time would slow down a bit.

24th of July

2014-11-03T15:01:00.001-07:00

We had our 24th of July bash and it didn't disappoint! This is one of my favorite traditions! I was sick on the 4th so I was so excited to see the fireworks on the 24th. We had our BBQ and then the kids played in the dirt. Brynlee was covered with dirt! We gave her a quick bath just in time to go watch the fireworks and eat some popsicles. We love July!
