Peyton's tooth

Ever since kids started losing teeth in Kindergarten, Peyton has been wondering when she would lose one.

A couple weeks ago, she finally got her first loose tooth.  Tonight, we started messing with it, and it came right out. She was over the top excited!

She already has two more that are loose.

Blake's November field trip

For Blake's November field trip, they got to visit the fire station and police station. They got a little nervous about the firemen, but it is so important for them to know they are here to keep us safe.

Blake thought the police car was really cool.

He liked hearing the sirens going and seeing the inside

First Snow

We always get excited for the very first snow fall of the year. It was fun to watch the snow fall in the mountains right from our window. We love where we live and that we have a sledding hill right next door.

Whenever it snow, the kids love going outside and playing. But the best part is coming home to loco hot cocoa afterward.

Happy Halloween

The kids were so excited for Halloween. They all knew weeks ago what they wanted to be and were so excited to wear their costumes.

Boys in the new house

So we've been in the new house for just over a month, and we have had a lot of action going on inside and out.  We had weeds up to our chests when we moved in that we no longer have. We have a side drive way, rock wall, and awesome patio. We didn't get quite as much done before the first snow, so we will pick up in the spring.

 Blake become buddies with one of the workers and got to drive the big machines with him.

I have redone a dining room table and chairs, a china hutch, hung and re did pictures and unpacked every single box that was in the garage. I am happy to say that we are living normally in our house!

Halloween cruise

We got to go on Halloween cruise with everyone from New Haven. It was pretty cold, but the kids had a great time seeing all the cool pumpkins, and having the pirate ambush our boat. Then we got hot chocolate and donuts after the ride.

Hiking to Bridal Veil Falls

Since the kids had a day off of school, we decided to take a lunch and hike up to Bridal Veil falls. We love being outside and doing stuff like this as a family. We tried to see a movie afterward, but they were all sold out, so we went home and made pizza and watched Spooky dogs.

Boys weekend

The same weekend the girls went away, the boys took the motor home and drove to Oregon to watch BYU play. Blake was so excited because he was big enough to go and hang with the guys. They had a lot of fun memories and brought home a win from the Cougars.

Girls weekend

Over the same weekend, the boys took a trip to Oregon for a BYU game and us girls, took a trip to St. George for some girl fun! Just driving down there, was a blast. After the drive, we went to the outlets for some shopping. Then, we went to Smash burger for dinner. Then to the much anticipated Little Mermaid in Tuacahn.
