Family Pictures

We were going to send out Christmas cards this year, but didn't. With us in the middle of moving a lot of things got put off. Plus we wanted to wait until we could send out something with our new address.


But our friend, Crystal, of Cal Artistry was awesome and took our family photos for us. We dont want them to go to waste, so these are a few of them. I love this last one of her kids and our kids, so cute! I love little kids laughing.

Basketball

Ethan just finished his basketball season. He had a good time, but I think he wants to go back to soccer next time. These are his team pictures. Thanks Shauntel for taking them.

Noelle is 11 Months

I haven't really updated on Noelle for a while. She's really growing up. I can't believe she'll be 1 next month. She sure acts like it too. She definitely thinks she's one of the big kids. She has two teeth now, can stand alone, and has taken a couple steps. She loves to say da da da and ma ma ma, but I only get the ma ma ma when she's sad. She loves Bryce to pieces and cries whenever he leaves the house. She eats everything and is pretty feisty. I'm excited to see who this little girl turns into.

Happy Birthday Caitlin!

Caitlin turned 5 this year! We told her she could have her very first friend party. And since we don't really have a house to have it at right now, we did something really fun. Build-a-Bear!


Caitlin brought some cousins and a couple friends and they had a great time together. First they chose their bears.


Then they gave them hearts. And each girl got an extra heart to give happy wishes to, to put in Caitlin's bear.


Then they each got to fill their bear.


And wash and clean their bear.


What happy girls. They were so good and had a great time together. I was really glad we did this. It ended up being pretty inexpensive and the party hosts were so fun. They really kept the girls happy.


When everyone had their bear, we had cupcakes outside on the grass, then everyone played at the playground at the mall. I loved that it was low-key and they still had a good time.


By the way, if you ever want to know how to get 6 crazy girls, with 6 big boxes, filled with 6 bears back to your car in the far parking lot, let me know.

Halloween 2010

We had a fun busy Halloween this year! I got to go to Caitlin and Avery's classes for a Halloween Carnival and Ethan's class party. We went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat, to a party with friends, and trick or treating with friends. So fun, and tiring. Glad that's over.

Now we just have Christmas....

Ethan as a gallant knight.

Caitlin as a fairy princess.

Avery as a princess.

And Noelle with her cousin, Tyce. The skunk and the monkey.

Vertuccio Farms

Caitlin and Avery had a fieldtrip with preschool and they went to Vertuccio Farms. They had so much to keep the kids busy, they didn't want to leave.


My girls will stay in a bouncy house for hours! Especially Caitlin. That is definitely her idea of fun.


But, while I was watching Caitlin jump and bounce, Avery ran off to see the train. She couldn't wait to go for a ride. The girls were so excited to be in the very first train car. I'm so glad they still like to be together.


They also had a fun mini corn maze. Just right for little girls.


But, the best (and longest) part was the girls picking out their very own pumpkin to bring home. It was very serious business.



Thank you Vertuccio Farms and Preschool!

2010 School Pictures

I finally got the girls' school pictures back, so I can post them all. I had to scan theirs in, so the quality isn't as nice as Ethan's, but they are still cute as buttons.
