Random Moments

 Hannah's Halloween ballet recital
Cleaning up the yard. Grayson found a slug

Colored hair for school

Before and after Grayson had to get his two front teeth pulled. He has been grinding his teeth when he sleeps and ground them to nubs. Hopefully we'll see some new ones in two to three years.


We got to watch Quentin play in his state championship game!



Thanksgiving

 


Zander Turns 12!

 My first born turned 12 and matured overnight. I love my Zander so much. He is the cutest, sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He wants so badly to grow up. This year he asked for an airsoft rifle and Halo legos and got his wish. He was so excited about his gun and the coat I picked up for him on a whim. He got Halo dog tags, giant Reeses, and this is the age that my kids get to drink caffeinated pop so I got one of each for him to try. He was in heaven. He got sick the week of his birthday, so we had to postpone his birthday party a couple weeks. 

Zander, your dad and I are so proud of the young man you are. You try your best to be grown up and manly and I think it's the cutest thing. You are thoughtful, adventurous, and creative. You are a delight to have around. Happy Birthday!







Birthday Party!!

November Craft Day

 Another successful craft day in Utah. We made beehives and bees, played games, won prizes, ate food, and shopped til we dropped. I love this tradition!

Halloween

 This year Hannah went as Zoey from Kpop Demon Hunters and all three boys went as stick figures. Everyone went trick or treating in groups with friends. I took Lucas's group and Grayson for a bit. Grayson went with dad for a while because Lucas wouldn't keep up, lol, they were too slow. But I love trick or treating with the kids; they are so fun to be with, and I know my time is very limited with them for holidays.

Zander, Jack and Luke. If you look real close you can see Hannah photo bombing them in the window, haha!
