Family Pictures

We took family pictures back in October and I love how they turned out. It's fun going back and looking at these. I need to get these printed and up on the wall! Lucas is so handsome and grown up.

 Paige is our sweet little princess.

 Logan was hard to get holding still, but he sure is darling.

 He is such a Momma's boy and I love it!

 We are one good looking family if I do say so myself.

 And these kids are just darling!

Snow and Sledding

The kids were so excited for all the snow we got while we were in Utah. We borrowed a bunch of snow clothes from cousins and went out to make snow angels and go sledding.

 Logan was not super impressed by the snow. He didn't like the snow clothes because he couldn't move around, and once he fell and got cold snow inside his suit, he was done!

 Lucas and Paige held out a little longer, though. They loved sledding!

 It was so fun to play in the snow for a week and then drive home to warmer weather.

Christmas!!

We went out to Utah for Christmas with Ryan's family. We got lucky because my parents were out there visiting too, so we got to see both sets of grandparents. On Christmas Eve morning we went over to Julie's house for some yummy breakfast and a Crapo Christmas get together.

Paige loves her new Elsa dress.

Logan wasn't really sure what to do about the presents yet.

But he loved the presents once he got them out.

 I love this one of him. The vacuum was definitely his favorite present this Christmas. He took that thing all over the house like he was really vacuuming.

 Here's one of Ryan and me. We never get to be in the pictures.

 We spent Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day with the George family. I love my matching Christmas babies.

 I love that the kids love books so much. They had to read these as soon as we opened them.

We had so much fun playing with cousins this trip. The kids were all at the perfect age for playing together, and we got them together to play as much as we could. Paige was in LOVE with Rose! We missed our cousins for a while after we left. I think we might need to start seeing them all more often.

We Bought a House!

Well this is the reason I haven't blogged in the last three months. We bought a house! I got super busy cleaning and packing and then more cleaning and unpacking and I just totally forgot about blogging. I'm going to try and go back and post a few things that have happened in the last three months, but really the biggest thing is that we bought this beautiful home and we couldn't be more excited!

I just love everything about it! The kids love having a bigger backyard and a playroom. And we are super close to the elementary school which is nice. We've been doing a few things to make the house our own, but it's pretty much already perfect. We have been having fun painting some rooms, which we've never been able to do before as renters. Now I just have to figure out how I want to decorate it so I can take some pictures of the inside to post. I'm pretty much in love, though!

Halloween

I love going to the pumpkin patch with the kids. It's such a good excuse to take cute pictures too.

 Logan was teething and so drooly! He loved the hay maze, though.

 Everyone loves the corn box.

 Look at my cute babies.

 Getting so big!

 They love to take turns pulling each other in the wagon.

On Halloween my parents came up to go trick-or-treating with us. Of course we didn't get a picture with them, but we got some of the kids in their cute costumes.

 Logan didn't really get trick-or-treating, but Paige and Lucas got enough candy for a small army so I think the night was a success!

Fairy Princess

I like to take pictures of the kids in their costumes before the big day because it makes it less stressful for me to get them all ready to go trick or treating and not have to worry about taking pictures at the same time. Plus the lighting is better. This year Paige is going to be a fairy princess, and it is quite possibly the prettiest costume I've seen in my entire life, so we needed to have a couple photo shoots to do it justice.

I love these pictures of her spinning. She is just in her element in this costume.

I wasn't really sure about the pigtails, plus the costume came with a crown, so a few days later I decided to curl her hair and take this baby for a spin in a foresty area - she is a fairy after all.

 With her wand too.

 I loved her curly hair but it lasted for less time than it took to curl it. Oh well.

 I love living vicariously through my children.

Biking Across the Golden Gate Bridge

We have been talking about biking across the Golden Gate Bridge for months now and we finally got around to doing it last Saturday. Lucas sprained his ankle the night before at a birthday party but he was determined to go so we went anyway. He was totally fine riding his bike and did the 4 mile ride no problem. He LOVES riding his bike! Here we are taking a little rest on the other side of the bridge before heading back across again.

 My parents came with us too.

 It was clear skies everywhere but right over the bridge. Bummer! But it cleared up a little bit as we were finishing.

The kids were done holding still for pictures so they are all a little grumpy for this picture...but they had fun. We will definitely have to make this a yearly tradition.
