Cutie, busy kids!

Oh little Blake.  He is just so, so cute I can hardly stand it!

I always love to watch them sleep when they are little because they are so calm and sweet.

Just call him Van Gogh!

He loves painting and coloring and drawing with markers...now that might be because he also loves to bit the tips off the markers but hey, artists are artists!

Our sweet Draper neighbors love our kids so much and are still thinking about them and saving fun things for them to have and this little gem was just one of those they saved...

Couch for 3?  Yep!  Got it!

Oh actually, I meant for 4.  Sometimes it is even 5 :)

Isn't that the cutest couch?  They love it!

Christmas list...check! Dino museum w/ the Morris cousins

 Christmas, Christmas, time of year!

They made their lists and checked them twice.

Dino Museum

Every once in awhile we get to go with the Morris cousins to fun places together.

This day, we went to the Dino Museum and we all had tons and tons of fun.

Of course, the sand was the funnest (and messiest) for the kids.

They Loved It! 

 How much do you all weigh??

Erin's little Cooper just loves my older boys and loves to be around them - it's pretty cute.

Carson's Cars Service Night w/ our friends and kiddos

A good friend of mine named Kelly had a dear friend whose little boy was tragically crushed and killed at a cemetery.  Since his death, his parents have given out little Matchbox cars at public places anonymously to celebrate his life because he loved cars.  His name was Carson.

In honor of Carson, we got together with a lot of our friends and took our families to Target to buy a bunch of cars and then we attached a little note about Carson and to pay it forward to someone else one day.

Austin, Jax, Cade, Adyson, Rio and my friends Emilie and Taryn behind them.

Here we are!  Well, at least our kids anyway.

They were so cute gathering their cars and even more excited passing them out!

We had 10 families there that night doing this service project together - we had so much fun and hopefully instilled a bit of desire in our children's hearts to serve others too.

After we all bought the cars, we headed to the mall where we placed our cars in random places for people to find - Hee-hee...what a fun surprise in December right?

Here was our families 5 cars that we were excited to share and give away.

I feel very blessed to have such giving, loving and kind friends.

Guitar Hero & Kisty's bday

 We haven't played this for so, so long but it was such a blast with the Poseys and other Morris'.  They are all so fun and we just loved it!

 We could probably be in  a real band I bet - Haha.

 Love you 5!

Such a fun night of laughing and playing.

A few days later, it was Kisty and Jon's bday celebration.

Marc and Logan

 It's time for dessert!

Yum, Yum!

 And as per usual, our little princess got decorated with the wrapping paper.

She totally loves it!

Thanksgiving! 2016

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

These are so cute - the triplets made them for school.  Love it!

(man...I'm so behind on posting!)

It was such a fun day!

We got to eat at the Morris' this year and it was so fun!  Everyone was there except Kristin and Mike and their kiddos which was a bummer but we had a great holiday.

Love this fun, happy little guy!  He is always full of energy!

Little Preston and Blake playing with the ball.

Love this girl.  She loves getting her picture taken.

My awesome little trio!

Cutest little turkeys around!

The next day we headed to my parents for a delicious extra Thanksgiving dinner.  Love this family.  I can't believe Zak and Gabe are old enough to just hang with us adults now and I absolutely adore them!  They are amazing young men and I love them to pieces.

ThAnKsGiViNg BiNgO!

Oh yah...here we go!

Me and my mama!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  We had a wonderful weekend with our families being very grateful for every one of them and for all we have.  I love our country, our state, our religion, my Savior, my Heavenly Father and the sacrifice of so many.
