Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving at my parent's house this year.  Although the kids wouldn't eat anything, we had a lot of fun.  

(Notice Bethany's "Baby's 1st Thanksgiving" shirt- So cute, but really a one time wear)

Jacob, Kyle and Jeffrey made these cute turkey cookies

Jacob spent about a half hour in this position trying to get every last speck of frosting from the bowl.

Our Bugling Boy

Sad, but Clean

For some reason, Jacob was totally cranky when he got out of the bathtub the other day. I had to take a picture of this totally grumpy face.

What are you "fankful" for?

This is a song that Kyle learned at Preschool.  It's a great time of year to be "fankful!"

(P.S. I'm so proud of myself for figuring out how to post a video on my blog- Thanks for the help Preston!)

He's worse than the kids...

Yesterday, I tried to take a picture of me with Jermie (you know when you hold the camera out in front of you and try to get both heads in the picture). I couldn't figure out why Jacob kept laughing until I uploaded the pictures. What a goofball!

Bethany's New Hangout

Virginia Party

This past Sunday, we decided to have a "Virginia Party" and invite everyone that we knew of from Virginia that somehow ended up in Utah (How does this happen?).   It was a lot of fun seeing everyone.  I hadn't seen most of them in 5 years or longer.

Phillip & Gretchen LeCheminant- Last time I saw them, they were teensy little kids!

Michele Steggell (holding Bethany) was my first viola teacher.  Mary Lousie LeCheminant was a Young Women's leader extraordinaire!

Beca's husband Matt was so sweet to play Ping-Pong with Jacob for a long time!

Bethany loves Gary Steggell (Sorry the picture turned out a little fuzzy- but still cute!) 

Cara Vaughan Munson and her adorable little boy, Ben.

Beca Steggell Mark, Laura Steggell, Katie Steggell and her friend Mike.

Kristi DeMille Spackman and her adorable family.

Maria Starnes (sorry, I can't remember her married name) with her cute husband and girls.

Sweet Shots

4 Months Ago...

4 Months ago, I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl and life hasn't been the same since. 

Happy 4 month birthday Bethany!

6 going on 60

The other night, Jacob wasn't feeling well, so he wanted some Apple Cider before bed.  He wrapped a blanket around his shoulders and savored his cider.  I thought he looked like a little old man.

Halloween

Because of all the fun activities leading up to Halloween, the actual event was a little anti-climatic. Jermie decided to dress as Dracula this year and we made our traditional "witch's brew." After trick-or-treating, Kyle ate candy non-stop for about 2 hours (maybe that's why he's sick today). My favorite treat was Bethany in her Tootsie Roll costume!
