Our Familys Advent Calendar

Mom was tired of buying advent calendars with chocolates that did not taste good. So this year she made one that you can choose the candies you put inside of it. We had Hershey’s Cordial Kisses under each number. As children started taking their candies out they noticed that a wrapper was left but no candy. We caught the culprit... SUPERMAN! He was sneaking the candies out and leaving the wrappers. When we took all of the numbers off to see how many were eaten. A Picture is worth a thousand words.

We love you Superman!

Brenens 11th Birthday

Brenen had a great birthday. He started off the day with a candy bar card. When he got to school his teacher had a birthday hat for him to wear and Mom brought cookies for the whole class. He came home to cake, ice cream, and presents. After that he went to his football season party. It was a fun day.

Setting up the Christmas decorations

We love Christmas. Superman helped stack the mini blocks. Chandler put hooks in the ornaments, Dalley put up the garland, Trey and Kaison untangled lights, Brenen helped put decorations, and Mom decorated the tree. When we were almost done, Kaison ran upstairs to get his sock to put under the tree for Santa. He is so ready for Santa to come. We listened to Christmas carols, drank egg nog, and after everyone went to bed mom cleaned up. Merry Christmas

Arrow of Light

Brenen’s received his Arrow of Light this evening. The leaders baked a cake in the shape of an arrow with all of the boys names on it. It was a fun night for Brenen.

Birthday Boy

For Kaison’s Birthday he wanted a Hulk video game and he did not get one... However, he did like the other presents he got... and when he took a really deep breath he blew all of the candles out but one.

Here is Kaison looking like the Hulk.

Here he is looking sweet.

I like the sweet look the best!

Family Pictures

We did our family picutres. After taking a photography class I was so excited to take our family picutres again this year. However weather and children were not as excited as I was. They turned out alright anyway.

Cross Country Awards

Dalley had her awards banquet. Her coach said that he can ask Dalley anything and she always responds with “WHAT?” He says she took 5-6 minutes off of her time this year, but he challenged her as well as the rest of the cross country to shave another minute plus off. She has set a goal to do a biathlon. A bike and run to the temple. Its 36 miles. This will help her train and accomplish a great goal at the same time. Go Dalley.

Chandler became a Teenager on 11-11-11

Chandler turned 13. For his birthday he had his best friend Kalani over and they watched the movie Transformers 3. When it was time to blow out his candles he had a hard time choosing a pose.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween was so fun. Saturday night our ward had a trick or treat at the ward building. The boys gathered up candy from all of our ward members. Brenen did a real sweet thing for a little boy in our ward who did not realize everyone was trick or treating. At the end of the evening this little boy came up to his mother and asked when he could go get candy. By this time everyone was leaving and the trick or treating was over. We went to our car and told our boys about this little boy. Brenen took almost all of his candy and gave it to him. Trey and Kaison soon followed their big brothers example. We asked Superman if he wanted to give some candy and his answer was a definate "NO". (Well, you cant win em all.) We were so proud of our boys for sharing we love to see our kids be kind to others. Monday night was October 31st. The kids were so excited to go get more candy. Brenen was a Dallas Cowboy, Trey was Batman, Kaison was Flash Gordon, and Superman was Buzz lightyear (even the eyebrows matched) They went around our neighborhood with their sisters and Chandler passed out candy to those to came to our door.

FYI...DONT TOUCH SUPERMANS CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My First 3 year old to ride a trike!!!

If you are asking yourself if we have given a trike to our other children the answer is yes. However, we haven’t had a child learn to ride it for a variety of reasons. They don’t like to ride it, it scares them, they don’t know how to make it go… Superman loves the outdoors. Every morning he goes out to boss our dog Annie around. He then walks his trike around the little pathway we have. He was tired of walking it around and started to figure out how to make it go. With a little help from Kaison he learned. It is so cute to see him go.
