Family Pictures

Yesterday, My very Talented sister Jamie took our family pictures! I just love them so I have to share them! ( or brag what ever you call it! lol) There are more pictures of us and others on her photo blog.






I just had to add this one in. Jamie took this one on our outing to the zoo!

I am Thanful for....

In preparation for Thanksgiving my Sister in Law Amber had us do something special. We drew names of those in our family and wrote a little paragraph of why we are thankful for that certain person. I loved it and thought it was a perfect start for our Thanksgiving and I hope it will remind us of all the reasons we are truly thankful for the family and friends in our lives.

I am thankful for my Dad. He is amazing. He is always willing to help me with everything. I am thankful for him helping me with my homework when I need it. He can do anything, I LOVE my dad.

I am thankful for Brock because he plays PlayStation with me! He also helps me pick up my toys.


Brock wrote:


I am thankful for my Mom because she helps us with almost everything when I am not home. She cleans my room and dusts the front room and just about everything else. The words to tell her how thankful I am for her do not exist.

I am thankful for Chantel for many reasons (to many to write down). I am thankful that she loves music and is always singing or playing the piano, and that helps the mood in the house. I am thankful that she has a strong testimony and a soft heart. Chantel is an example to everyone she meets. I am also very thankful for all she does in helping me when I need it.

I am thankful for Kade because I got a chance to be part of his life as a baby and toddler that I did not get with Chantel and Brock. I missed a majority of each of theirs because I was busy working working and going to school and was gone all the time. Kade also loves to help me no matter what I am doing and it is very fun to teach him how to do stuff and spend time with him.

Our Veterans Day in Pictures! (and lots of them)

We started today out by going to the Veterans day Parade! It started out with all the good intentions! It was awesome we left a little early to try and get a good parking spot and it worked! NO troubles there! And we had no troubles finding a good spot to sit. It was somewhat it the shade so that Baby M wouldnt be in the sun and burn her Cute little bald head! Everything was going ok, Kade was calm and watching airplanes pass and balloons fly into the air! Baby M was kicking back in the stroller watching people and clapping as they went by!

Kade even made some friends with these really cute girls.(one happens to be a daughter of a Girl that I grew up with )

I knew things were going too good when Baby M fell asleep! I guess Kade had, had enough because he started being just a little heathen! He would not stop cyring and whining! To make matters worse, I have been sick and I have almost , but not completely, lost my voice! So kade took advantage of it and we ended up leaving the parade early! Maybe we should have taken hints from the baby and stayed home and slept!

After we were home for a little bit and everything had calmed down we were invited to go to the zoo with my sister Diaper Diva!



The kids had fun together!

They got to see the otters, which are never out when we go! We also got to see the elephants and play around!

The weather was perfect and the zoo was not crowded and it was a nice relaxing end to a somewhat stressful morning! Thanks for inviting us!

I love this picture!

My sister took pictures of all the kids on halloween and I just love this picture of Brock! Brock dressed up as a Nerf CIA/Secret Service agent! He somehow sweet talked his Auntie into taking a picture of him pointing the laser at the camera! Good thing he did , this picture is awesome! Thanks Jamie:)
