Decorations Are Up

We are so use too seeing Clark and his cute little bum cheeks lately.

 This was the first year I let the kids decorate the tree with no help from me.

I cracked and fixed a few spots while they were at school one day.

 My favorite Christmas Decorations...

The tree,
 the cradle with baby Jesus,

 This beautiful manger set my mother in law gave me.

The pic. does not do justice, the pieces are huge.

 

My very favorite Christmas pics.

We waited 15 minutes and thankfully it cleared up and

We were pretty lucky to get this shot!

Happy Thanksgiving

 One Thanksgiving tradition is going to the movies with the Jensen's. 

This year only Daisy and Clark wanted to see the movie, so Danny took just them two.

These were the only two pictures I took on Thanksgiving.

The day after Thanksgiving we drove up to my mom's in St. George and had Thanksgving with her and all my siblings and their families, but Greg. It was a quick trip, but fun seeing everyone!

Jane is 4 Months Old

After we send the kids to school we rest some more.

Happy Birthday Van

Van turns 9 years old!

I took him to Cane's for lunch.

This year he actually had a real party and I only took one picture! 

 

I took him and these fun friends of his to Gravady.

Gabe, Beckam, Van, Trevor, Jones & Tyler

Happy Birthday Dee, Van and Cindy!

Museum Fun

Halloween Shenanigans

Getting our carving on for FHE!

 Clark enjoyed painting his pumpkin.

 Pumpkin patch fun!

 

Daisy and Walt had to do a pumpkin book report.

I thought their pumpkins turned out pretty good with a little help from dad.

 Max had a Halloween dance at school with this fun group of kids!

 

Walt the wizard, Van the Zombie, Hanna the nerd and Daisy the Vampire Cheerleader.

 

The upper school had Pink and Orange dress up day at school

The school had a costume parade, which I loved! 

It brought back memories when I was in elementary school.

 Happy Halloween!

 Jane's 1st Halloween, she was a cat.

What they've been waiting for all month long, CANDY!
