Aquarium

On the 28th of November I decided to take advantage of the free day at the Aquarium. Ethan was in school so we went without him. I thought it might be crazy there but it wasn't too bad. The boys liked it & I loved seeing the penguins....so cute!

Family pictures

This year we had my dad take some family pictures of us. It was a little crazy, but we got some cute pictures. My dad still questions how photographers take pictures of kids...it baffles him. We have very active boys! They don't sit still for very long.
I love the pictures of Marshall, that blue shirt makes his blue eyes sparkle! Thanks for taking the pictures & putting up with the craziness.

Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we made turkeys & they wrote on the feathers what they were thankful for....I don't know for what since I am doing this 8 months behind but if I find the turkeys I will put it in here later :)
We had Thanksgiving at my parents home.....this is my handsome brother & cute sister!
This is my niece Halen & my Marshall....she is so cute with him and loves to play with him. She will be a good sitter when she is older!
Just some more pictures of my Marshall James....i love him.
This is Jackson & my niece Jovi playing in my old bedroom with the awesome striped wallpaper.
Well....Thanksgiving is always a great with either family. I love getting together 7 having no where to go just chilling with the family. Me and my 4 boys!

Bath time

My boys love taking a bath! They loved it this time because it was the first time they took a bath with Marshall.
They were so cute to watch together & Marshall loves the water & to splash lots!
Kevin decided to turn on & off the light.....as you can see I think it scared Marshall quite a bit....poor guy!
The bubbles were out of control after I turned on the jets.

Family dinner & Birthday

We have family dinners at my mom and dad's house twice a month. Sometime we will have it at my brother's house or ours but usually at my parents. Here is some of the crew.
This is my cute Jackson! Love that crazy boy!
We were celebrating my nephew Easton's birthday...he turned 3!
This is my Marshall with my brother Ryan! He is cute with kids. Yes...he is only 5 years older than me & is very gray....I can joke about it because I'm in the same boat....only I can color my hair. Good thing or Kevin would be married to a 60 year old! On the positive side we both have hair & his looks nice.....very distinguished :)I love spending time with my family & am glad that we all live so close to each other to be able to see each other.

New York City

In November Kevin got to go to NYC for work. I went last year when he had to go & it was SO fun! I LOVE visiting there. I think if we had no kids & were all about working & the night life....I would live there. There was so much to do! I love the idea of just walking everywhere & not having to drive. This time it just didn't work out for me to go with him....even though I LOVE flying and traveling. He went there for a couple days for work and then staying a little longer to have fun. His friend Michael came from Indiana to hang out with him.
This is the hotel he stayed at while there for work, the view from his hotel & the Brooklyn bridge at night when they were riding their bikes around. His friend Michael loves everything about food.....a food connoisseur you might say. He is a very healthy eater, loves to try new things, learn about how they cook the food & finds the best restaurants to go to. This is one of the restaurants they went to....Craft.
They were at a pizza place and next door to it was a Macaroni & Cheese restaurant. Yes, they specialize in different mac'n cheese! Kevin said there was a huge line outside to eat there. Talk about an artery clogger :) Then a picture of common street performers and a model in the street. He thought it was funny to see a modeling shoot. Then they went and saw a Broadway show.....Billy Elliot! Really? I was shocked when I heard he saw that, I would have never thought he would have gone to that & how did he like it? Not so much:)
This is a picture of the hostel they stayed in when he was off the work clock. He went from posh digs to poor man style, but didn't mind it at all. These are pictures of him on a tram and riding bikes around NYC....I saw people doing that when I was there & I would seriously have a heart attack, but Kevin said it was pretty fun! Well, he had fun....but we missed each other a lot....I don't like the single mom thing. I hope if he has to go again, I will be able to go....miss you NYC! I did however get a purse out of the deal!!

Ethan's school party & Halloween

It was fun this year to go to my first school Halloween parade for my big Kindergartner! Ethan was a dracula AND once again I am a bad person at taking pictures!! I bring my camera & get too involved in the moment and forget to take pictures....hello! There is my Dracula of course I didn't get a picture of him with his cape. My cute bumble bee! This is Halloween night before we went trick-or-treating. I made mummy dogs, swamp punch and had jack-o-lantern fruit bowl. It was fun. Since we live in our temporary condo & there are a lot of older people we decided to go somewhere else. Plus our neighbors told us that they never get trick-or-treaters! We decided to go with Kevin's sister & his family around their neighborhood & did I get pcitures? NOPE...crazy girl! It was a fun Halloween that will forever live in my head since I have hardly any pictures. I was a cowgirl and a witch & Kevin was ?????

Cornbelly

In October we went down to Thanksgiving point with our friends Scotty & Melissa for some fun at the Cornbelly! It was cool that had a house full of corn that we could play in. My handsome boys! All the crazy animals...Jackson, Ethan, Riley, Kevin & miss Ella! Me & my Marshall.....i love that boy! They had these crazy hoppy horses.....that was some good exercise :) Ethan racing the ducks.....with the famous tongue out....a family trait...thanks to Kevin! It was fun there! They have a lot of things to do. They loved the big jumping bubble. It is pretty fun to jump on. The boys went through some haunted houses....they were pretty brave but one time was enough for them :) Thanks for the fun time guys!

Halloween Party

Kevin's cute mom put on a Halloween party this year. It was fun! I LOVE Halloween, in case you didn't know!! Everyone looked so great in their costumes! This is Kevin's oldest brother's family! They are too cute! This is some of the good food we had. I got the assignment of veggies so I tried to halloween them up a bit. The picture of my mother-in-law in the witch hat is SO cute! I love her! These are my cute boys. Ethan was Boba Fett, Jackson was a Kola & Marshall was a big bee! Thanks to my sis for the Kola and Bee.....it's nice to have a sister that has costumes we can borrow :) I was a cowgirl and Kevin was Clark Kent We had such a fun time. I love hanging out with Kevin's family!! They are so fun & easy going.

The Needles

Around the 13th my cute hubby and some other men went on an overnight adventure in canyonlands at the needles and golfing. They had a great time there and did who knows what but all I know is packing around that much water would kill me.....seriously do you need 30lbs of water? I mean who needs water?:) I think Kevin's pack was around 45 lbs....hello!

13 days of halloween

I say this every year....so here it is again......I LOVE HALLOWEEN! This year was awesome!! 13 days before Halloween the doorbell rang. We answered it but no one was there except for a graveyard cake....so cute! Let the fun begin. At first I just thought some cute family in our ward dropped a fun Halloween treat by.....but this went on for 13 days! Then I started to think.....ok this person is spending a lot of time and money on us, I doubt it is any of our neighbors since we just moved in. We ending up getting......pumpkins, cupcakes, carmel apples, witches brew, poison, popcorn balls...I'm sure I am forgetting something....but it all was SO cute and fun to see what would be on the doorstep everynight I finally figured it out......my cute sister JAMI!! I think she was trying to win us over so we will buy a house near her! It was working :) Thanks girl for all your hard work & for making our Halloween awesome! Love you
