With the holidays comes the cousins...

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we were lucky enough to have Jodi and her kids come visit. She had to be back in Washington by Friday so we had an early Thanksgiving with her on Sunday. We just love having Abe and Dallin come to play, Noah and Cooper just adore their cousins! Then the Randall cousins came the Saturday after Thanksgiving so we had another feast with them on Sunday. Once again our boys were totally worn out from playing with their cousins. I just feel so blessed that my boys have such great cousins, we are so lucky! Now we just need the Sanderson cousins to come play.Dallin, Noah, Abe, and Cooper

Grandma Great gives all the great grand kids a new ornament each year. They love this tradition and look forward to it each year! (she use to make all of them, but it would take her all year now with how many kids their are)

BYU vs WY game

With Tommy's schedule we really haven't been able to have any football parties. So finally for the BYU vs WY game we had the Hamilton's and Willards over for pizza and football. As you can see from the pictures all the kids ended up on the trampoline, the girls ended up talking the whole game, and the boys enjoyed an easy win! I just loved these pictures of all the kids, and yes there are tons of boys and only one girl... good thing she's tough. And I'm not sure how we allowed Miles in the house with a red shirt on... he won't make that mistake again :)

Halloween Time

I love Halloween! For some strange reason I have always loved the idea of dressing up and getting 'free' candy... maybe it's just the free candy I like. It's especially fun to see your kids get so excited and count down the days until they get to go trick or treating. Cooper had his pre-school halloween party on Thursday, Noah had his on Friday, and then a day full of Halloween fun on Saturday.Cooper dressed up for his pre-school party

Noah at his school Halloween parade, he was very focused on staying in line with his class and didn't care about getting his picture taken.

We made mini orange pancakes for Breakfast.

Jace, Cooper, Hailey, and Noah trick or treating at our house. Grandma was nice enough to pass out candy so I could take the kids out.
