1st Half of November

1st Half of November

Cars, trucks, and tractors everywhere at our house with this boy!

Kaylee girl has found her fingers and her thumb when a binky isn't around and she's tired.

Best Toy Company by Matisyn

Emilyn was student of the month!

Emilyn wrote me a note to say she was sorry about forgetting to get me a birthday present!

Reading time with the kiddos

Emilyn's cute Halloween papers from school

Emilyn wrote down some of the rides she was looking forward to riding in Disneyland now that she is tall enough!

Seriously cute sweetie pie

Turning three has brought out some real tantrums from our boy.  He was pretty much the perfect two year old, so I guess we are due for some three year old outbursts!  It has still been shocking though.

Lucas loves his ORANGE construction vest and tools from Grandma Barb.  This boy is serious about building...and orange...and tools!

This baby girls still sleeps best in my arms during the day!

These jeggings only lasted an hour before I realized her poor tummy was being squished way too much.  The poor girl had her tummy hanging over.  We moved to some stretch pants.  Her cute, chubby self does better in one piece clothing!

All dressed up and ready for her girls weekend away with mom!

Amber, Jana, Kelly, Ashly, Amy, and I went away for a girls weekend.  We decided it would be easiest to just stay close by since I had to take Kaylee, and since it was so hard for everyone to find a free weekend.  Jana got us a great deal at a Marriott hotel in Salt Lake City.  We went to dinner the first night at Cheesecake Factory, and then stayed up late talking and laughing.  The next day we went shopping at City Creek and at the Fashion Place Mall, went to dinner at Red Rock, and then to see a movie, The Intern.  We enjoyed another late night visiting, and then had breakfast together at the hotel the next morning, and packed up to go home.  It was short, but sweet!

I had to take some shopping breaks to feed Kaylee.  It was a beautiful day, so I enjoyed the excuse to sit in the sunshine.

Emilyn's cute one time diary entry abut Matisyn's teeth!

Kaylee was such a good baby on our girls trip.  She was perfectly happy to go around with all of us getting lots of extra attention from the girls, lots of arms to hold her, and looking around from the view from her stroller.

Matisyn can't get enough baby sister holding in a day!  Sometimes at night she helps by holding her so that we can get Lucas and Emilyn put to bed.  This is especially helpful if one of us is gone and we are a man down at bedtime!  It was pretty cute to find her and Kaylee asleep on the beanbag together.

Such a chubby girl!

Matisyn got 100% on her math test.  She does not love math, so we were especially proud of her!

Lucas got a new haircut

Emilyn had her first dance performance with her new dance company.  She loves dancing with her friends, and has really enjoyed this group.  They performed at the Expo center during the Christmas show.  Their group did their ballet number.

I love getting to watch my girl dance, and I love that it makes her happy!
