First Snow of 2012

The first snow fall of the year is always fun.  It is nice but I don't always want it to last more than a day.  The snow stayed for about a week and then it finally melted.  Kaleigh was playing at a friends house so Sidney and Hagen went out to build our snowman.  Calvin was very curious about the snow and just stood on the sidewalk watching the snow for about five minutes.  When he finally ventured into the snow and fell he decided he was done.
 This was about 4 hours worth of snow fall.  I was very impressed with how much snow we received and how long it actually lasted.

coolest snowman ever!!

Halloween Festivities 2012

Here we are again carving our pumpkins like pro's!  Dad is in charge of carving out all the guts in all the pumpkins after that we start carving.  I love that as the kids get older we don't have to carve their pumpkins for them anymore.  Now we just have to teach Calvin how to carve his own pumpkin.

Sidney

Here they are all lit.

Kaleigh was a jeanie, Hagen-Venim, Sidney-Ladybug, and Calvin a cow. 
We love trick or treating

Jared and Calvin

So, this is really funny.  Sidney was really worn out on the drive home from trick or treating.  Cracks me up!

The day before Halloween Calvin, Sidney, and I were running errands.  I got the kids some chicken nuggets.  Calvin took a bite and fell asleep.  He held on to that nugget until we got home.  Soo funny!

October 2012 Miscellaneous Pictures

Soo, I just got a new camera.  So that means that I am going to update on a regular basis and my pictures are not going to look yellow anymore!  And now I can take lots and lots of pictures!  Yea!

He looks like a little gnome!

The yellow hat is actually the cardboard that goes inside the witch hat so it will stand up.  Cute kids!

The firestation did an open house with free cotton candy, I think that was their favorite part of the whole thing.

Kaleigh and Olivia's Baptism 2012

On September 30th, Kaleigh and Olivia wer Baptised.  I love the example that they are and especially the example that Kaleigh is to her brothers and sister.  I am very proud and honored to be Kaleigh's Mom and Olivia's aunt.  More Pix to come as soon as I get them.


September 2012 happenings

September was a busy month.  I also haven't updated the blog in a long time, I am definately going to try better at blogging on a normal basis.
On a Sunday after church we drove to SLC go to the cemetary and then went to Liberty park to let the kids play.

Kaleigh

Calvin slept the entire time we were at the park and then woke up right as we were leaving and he was not a happy that we had to leave.
 Nuskin Lagoon Party
We love the lagoon parties.  My brother and his family joined us this year.  We split up at the beginning and at the end we took a picture that I am still waiting for a copy of.  I love that my kids are getting older and able to ride the big kid rides.  Calvin loved the cars and boats and whatever he was able ride and cried every time he had to leave.  Sidney couldn't ride all the rides but did ride more than she could last year and it was really cute watching her expression. 
Hagen and Kaleigh are now able to ride all the big kid rides.  kaleigh rode the basic and but wouldn't ride any of the roller coasters.  Hagen didn't want to disapoint his Uncle Lance so he rode the colosis and the wicked.  His favorite was the wicked.  I was suprised.

 Crazy Little Calvin
This little guy has quite the personality.  He loves cars and pretty much just plays with cars on a regular basis.  He decided to climb into the laundry basket and fly his car above his head.
 
 He definately loves his big sister.  He likes to tease more than anything.  They were watching Sesame Street.  He was sitting on top of her and then he realized he could push her head down and he would laugh and laugh.
