Caeden is in Mrs. Cloud's preschool (we love her!) and here they are at the pumpkin patch (Caeden is in the green hoodie, in case you couldn't tell which spastic child is mine)
With Halloween on a Sunday this year and an informal trunk-or-treat on Saturday night I neglected to get any pictures of the kids in their costumes this year! Sorry Cerola! But they love their Halloween shirts almost as much as their costumes:
and of course the candy is the important part anyway
I put up some Halloween decor courtesy of my Silhouette:
we also got a black light and these webs that are supposed to glow but they didn't really
and I took most of our fall decorations up to the office so I had to buy some new ones... I won't lie, I was super excited about that!
We had awesome weather at the beginning of November and the chickens were loving it
and Aspen was loving her swing
and the yard looked amazing and things started to bloom again... until it snowed and all those new green things looked like wilted spinach hanging from sticks
Trey and Becks actually still like to dress alike- this day they did it by accident and thought it was so cool they wanted me to take a picture. Their classrooms are right next door to each other at school, even though they are 4 grades apart!
We drove to Utah for Thanksgiving and after snowstorms on the way there and on the way back (and a very long drive with little kids) I think it's safe to say that we won't be driving in the winter again... it wasn't too dangerous if we took it slow, but it's the SLOW part that was killing us! But it was really fun to be there with Carson's family. We took a family picture on the morning of Thanksgiving, and the setting was beautiful but it was so bright that none of the kids would look at the camera! This is the best we got (note to self: if you wear a white jacket, BUTTON IT UP if you don't want to look ginormous)
Carson's sister Kristin's boyfriend Chris Cumerford's family came (got that?) Thanks guys, for our only good picture of Thanksgiving
unless you count this one, which, sorry Rees, but I think is cancelled out by the following pictures of your son
Cody & Lisa have the perfect eating area for Thanksgiving dinner, can you believe they can fit three full-sized tables between their kitchen and their family room?
and thanks Lisa for hosting!!
Jessica, you and Korina almost make up for Jaron
and this could have been a nice picture of Chris' dad without a glare (or something) from Cody
but there really is no excuse for this one... I hate the phrase LOL but I canNOT help but laugh out loud when I look at it!
So the day after Thanksgiving we headed up to Salt Lake to catch the lights at temple square and we were lucky that the Ericsons could come with us AND that we ran into our old friends the Bennetts! BUT unlucky that our camera battery died and this is the only picture we got!
and now we're into Christmas already. Aspen wasn't so sure about the Santa with a real beard at our ward Christmas party but Beckham and Caeden loved it... Beckham even sat on Santa's lap and said he wanted a race car set (?) even though he says he doesn't believe... and Trey played along nicely, he is {kind of} growing up!
Hopefully it won't take me 2 months until I post again? If it does, then Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
