Thanksgiving Fun!

November 24, 2016

Versii and Paxton made us these little Thanksgiving Turkeys.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving over at Mom and Dad's with family, including Julie, Michael and the kids.

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to OMSI with Julie, Michael and Mom.

Here are the kids posing with our parking spot number, so we could tell them inside.

Love this picture of the kids!

Ashlyn and Austin with their Aunt Jennie, who met us at OMSI.

Baby Brielle's pout!

Some of the many elaborate gingerbread creations!

Paxton seems to just love the babies. Here he is reading to Brielle. On one of our visits to Mom and Dad's while Julie was in town, he and the kids were in Mom's room playing with the baby. Paxton comes running out to grab a toy and informs us that he is part of the "Brielle Entertainment Team!" So funny!

Confessions of a 2nd Grader!

November 17th, 2016

Confessions of love from Paxton. I can't believe I thought to start recording this conversation! Hilarious! Sorry about the camera work, I blame my laughter! We might be in trouble with Paxton! Kaden and Versii were not like this in the second grade.

This is Paxton's class picture!

...And this is "the beautiful" Roselyn!

Veteran's Day 2016

Remembering these great Veteran's today.

My Grandpa Thatcher on the far left and my Grandpa Black on the right. Both served our country and were amazing men! Love and miss them both!

Halloween 2016

Khaleesi just won't leave me be to craft on my own. Every time I would bring the needle and thread up she would paw at it. She's like my little shadow...follows me everywhere and always wants to be in on the action.

Versii wanted to be a Minecraft Ocelot...it's basically the "cat" of Minecraft. So I hand-crafted this for him and he was thrilled!

Paxton originally came to me and said he wanted to be an "evil elf", which I did not like. So somehow in my mind I thought, "Hey why don't you be a Garden Gnome?" To which he happily agreed and then the creating began! He was so excited about his hat with white fuzzy beard and eyebrows!

Since we were invited to our friend's Halloween Party, Josh agreed to wear our Bee and Flower costumes...for one final time. They are my favorite costumes ever!

Paxton and his friend Ellie at our ward Harvest Party.

My friend Liv and her baby "lion" Wyatt at my parents ward Halloween party.

She made his lion hat and I love it!

Liv's daughter, Frances as a "Flower", also handmade! Just darling!

My friend Autumn and I at Andy and Heather's Halloween party.

Boys in the band! Josh with some of his band-mates dressed as musicians, love it! Especially Andy as "Ozzy Osbourne", that expression cracks me up! They originally wanted Josh to dress as Michael Jackson, but when they handed Josh this wig, he instantly reminded me of Lenny Kravitz...so he just went with it!

Star Scout

October 26, 2016

Kaden ranked up to Star Scout and earned 7 new merit badges! He also earned the 50 miler award from his float trip with his Grandpa Thatcher over the summer. Way to go Kado! So proud of your hard work!
