December teeny-tiny snow

ImageA couple weeks ago it snowed for a minute one morning, and Everett took full advantage. I was just thinking this is really exciting for him cause last year he was only 1 1/2. So he doesn't remember much of it. I HOPE we get a little more snow so we can do some sledding this winter!

The big 5!

ImageGavin just celebrated his fifth birthday! Everyone always says;"I can't believe they are getting so big!" But I really can't! He will go to kindergarten next year...which will make me cry if I really think about it and also give me an anxiety attack! He celebrated this year with his first "friend" party, and had some cute little boys over for games and cake.

ImageOpening his Star Wars Legos. Excited?!


ImageKing for the day and a star wars cake. Star Wars party theme as you can tell.


ImageRob graciously came home from work early to help out with the party. Here they are on the treasure hunt.
Image
ImageYes it is December and yes we are outside doing a pinata!...Was planning a sledding party, but that didn't pan out.


Image
ImageDrinking their "Yoda Soda" hehehe


ImageVery fun day for Gav, excitement overload to say the least and now we have Christmas to pile on top of that excitement! The boys are bouncing off the walls around here. Hooray for DECEMBER :)

The Reason I am now Mass catch up posting to this blog!

ImageSo here is the reason for the catch up posts. We will be having a baby GIRL!!! (yes read-- the ultra sound tech even wrote girl power on the pic) Due April 17th...I still can't fully believe it is a girl for some reason and therefore feel restrained in my pink purchases... Gavin is very excited for a girl and Ev is tolerant of it at this point. I have never been so sick in my life as I was with this little one for the first while...LONG while, so therefore I have slacked in many areas of life. But feeling good these days and look forward to #3. (I am also a bit terrified to have three children!!!)

ImageImageImageReally bad close up of mom...but I will show that we were having fun! darn-it. :)

Halloween 2011

ImageThis picture was taken while trick or treating at our cute neighbors house, the boys were a little pooped at this point :)


ImageSpidey and Dracula!


ImageOur porch pumpkin display.


ImagePosing with their pumpkins, they did and awesome job.


Image
Image
ImageAt our ward Trunk or Treat, which in every year past I have boycotted because I find it lame(I'm sorry to be so blunt :) that they do it on Halloween at 5:00!!!...Who wants to go walk around to cars in a parking lot when there are alleys and streets full of crunching leaves and real haunted mansions to find. BUT my four almost five year old is now old enough to hear about it at church and feel like he might miss out if we didn't attend. SO we did and it was fun I will admit, we just stayed for a short time and then went out for our real Trick or Treating. Here they are posing with an awesome neighbor all decked out!


Image
We went on the Halloween Provo River boat cruise. It was very much fun for the boys. They thought it was cool to wear the life jackets. We glided down the dark river with a pirate as our guide and looked out at lit jack-o-lanterns on the shore line.
