It has been a while


Just had to share this latest do of Tenlee's. I thought it turned out cute, Matt is still getting used to it. A lot of people think it changes her whole look.

Also wanted to update, prayers were answered and we now have a crib/changing table free garage. We weren't able to actually sell the crib since I guess it isn't legal even if you fix the drop side. So we made a couple very happy and sold both for $30. She just lost her job and was very excited and wanted that color so I think it will be appreciated and I feel good knowing it is being used by someone who can really needs it.

TRICK OR TREAT







Here are the costumes for the kids. Weston was done with the photo shoot after the individual shot but when I told him Evan and Logan and the twins would want to see more pics he agreed to more. Thanks guys!
This morning, Cameron was going through some of his candy and handed me the candy necklace. I don't think he realized what it was because when I had him try a piece of the candy he then thought about it and said, "Mom I will eat the candies so you can have the string." What a little goof:)
The kids really had fun going door to door this year. I was exhausted and got them to stop trying to go to every house by reminding them that if they wanted to go to a haunted house we would have to stop. Thank goodness for the people who do up their houses super scary and let people go through. We went to a guy in our old wards garage and he had a great spook alley the kids enjoyed. Lots of scares and screams, like the one we went through by mom and dads house. Fun Times!

Autumn time

So, this is at Bauman Farms, down by the outlets. It is a way fun place with lots of things for everyone. Here is Cameron on top of the hay stacks for climbing. I love seeing my kids enjoy climbing hay because it reminds me of the days playing in Grandpa's barn in Ferndale:)
They have these great swings hung from the rafters where the kids can swing far back, jumping off the hay bales!
This was the slide in part of the obstacle course. Cam and Wes loved going down all the slides.
Here are Wes and I climbing up the rope to get to the top of the slide. It was actually pretty hard, I had to help Wes up it. When we went back with the big kids and Matt I was pretty impressed Wes figured it out and went up himself...I wasn't going to do it again:)
Here is another part of the obstacle course with two different kinds of slides. It was a little freaky for the boys they kept trying to hold the sides but ended up turning funny and looking like they would fall.
Climbing the tires was hard for Wes with his shorter legs. He never repeated this little part.
Cam did well on the little rock wall, despite being a little fearful at first.
This is the biggest slide by the parking lot. It starts up by the barn rafters and is way fun. I was a little freaked to go down because it doesn't seem like the little wires holding the tube suspended will hold adults. I had a fun ride though:)
The previous pictures Dad saved me and took since I forgot my camera. These last few are from FHE when the family went and I remembered.
Fun for all!
They obliged me and got together as a group for a minute. Cameron is in this silly pose stage where you have to capture him candidly for real pics or he does goofy faces and hand poses. I made him keep is hands between his legs to avoid half the goof:)
Just had to share the view we get to drive past as we turn out onto Ibach road. I love seeing the aray of leaf colors. It amazes me that one tree can have green, yellow, orange, and red leaves all throughout the branches. Beautiful!

Happy 3rd Birthday Weston





How we love our "little" Weston:) He is so good natured and happy. He is my little buddy during the preschool hours and likes to do my errands and jobs with me. He is a great friend to all his siblings. Full of personality and spunk. We all noticed how willingly he let them open his toys and build with them and play with him. What a blessing to have him in our family!

Baptism time

Chris's family and both Grandparents were able to come up for the baptism day. We appreciated it so much and had such fun!
Weston was a little grump through all the pictures:)



The beautiful twin dresses... my mom made one for Jocelyn and Matt's mom made Tenlee's. How lucky are we to have two awesome seamstress's!

Tenlee's little turtle neck:) Unfortunately I didn't recognize this till later pictures and didn't redo these...oops! It was a wonderful day and we are so proud of Tenlee's decision:)

Dolphin Party

Here are the girls that could make it to the party for Tenlee and Jocelyn.

Some of the girls got a little goofy and decided to put their faces into the cake and ice cream. Tenlee of course couldn't turn down the challenge:)
Donna and family made and decorated the cake. Tenlee and I made the little candy dolphins around the side. I thought it turned out way cute!
We played 4 different water games, made pizza's, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, and finished by running through the sprinklers. Lots of fun memories:)

Our New Piano!!!

videoConner and Tenlee's favorite song to play on the piano these day is Book of Mormon Stories. At the beginning of the month Matt sent me a link from Craigs list for this piano and I of course was in shock but jumped right on getting in touch with this lady to check out the piano. Turns out that she was previously LDS and had asked her LDS sister to pray for a nice mormon family to buy this piano that she was so sad to be selling. We are THRILLED and love how it looks and sounds. Matt picked it up this week and she had tears welling up in her eyes as she sent it away...awww. She would be happy to know how much we love it! video
