Snow Days

We had such a fun day spent in the snow a few days before Christmas! We went sledding, built a snowman and shoveled (a less fun activity). I was surprised by how well Colby did in the snow. He just sat at the top of the sledding hill and watched everyone. When I was strapping Ayden into his car seat after sledding he said, "That was a fun day mom!"My sister-in-law Janae and her darling kidsAll the munchkins piled on the sled. One of the times they went down the hill, they hit a nice big jump and got some good air! I thought we would for sure have some tears, but everyone was all smiles! I thought I might wet my pants I was laughing so hard!Proud of their perfect snowman! (Literally perfectly round-I don't think Janae has ever done anything in her life that she didn't do perfectly!)All the cousins snuggling on Grandma's couch after coming in from the snow

We purchased a small snow shovel-and Ayden has become a big help! He helped Kipp shovel our driveway as well as his home teaching families one Sunday afternoon. I thought for sure he would be back in the house after ten minutes, but he totally lasted the entire time!

Randomness

A bit ago, my friend Laura and I were talking in the kitchen and realized that our boys whom were upstairs had gotten way too quiet and must be up to no good. So we book it upstairs and we find this... Our cute boys had made themselves a little tea party. Too funny!
The other day, I had a one of these suckers in my hair. Ayden must have thought it looked quite stylish, so he put one on himself. Crazy boy!

Sever weeks ago, we watched Boston and Lilah until a little later one night. So we got the kids in jammies, popped popcorn, and turned on a movie. Ayden thought it was the greatest thing ever! Since then he has been asking for a "Jammie Party" and even asking us to tell him a story about a "Jammie Party."
These boys are the best of buds!
One evening in November, we decided to spend the night up in Park City. This is Ayden being goofy with the sombreros at Baja Cantina

Family Pictures


We had our pictures done by a great gal named Jeni Boston. She is darling and fabulous with the kids! I was really happy with the way they turned out!









Trick or Treat!

We had a little alien and a Buzz Lightyear at our house for Halloween this year. Ayden really enjoyed trick-or-treating this time around, even though it was freezing cold. Colby sat in the stroller and cruised around. I gave him a kit kat and didn't hear much more from him!
Ayden and Boston were both Buzz Lightyear and they were so darn cute trick-or-treating together! They held hands as they marched from house to house to collect their goodsThis pic was taken at our Joy School Halloween party. Cute little monkey

Frightmares

We headed off to Lagoon's Frightmares again this year. We had gone to Lagoon earlier this summer and had so much fun watching Ayden that we thought we would head back again in the fall. It was perfect weather and we had a great time with the Dibbles. The kids were so darn fun to watch. They were having a great time!Colby really enjoyed riding Bulgy the Whale-had a smile on his face the entire time...That is until is stopped...Check out these faces! Do you think they had a fun time?

Cornbelly's

We had a great afternoon at Cornbelly's this fall. We haven't been there before and I was pleasantly surprised by how many fun activities they had for kids. We had a blast!
One of the most fun areas were the slides-loved by the kids as well as the adults!
Another favorite were the bouncing pillows! Here is Ayden on the pillows torturing Colby-just like normal!
Some of the babies with us had a rough day. Colby got stung by a bee right below his eye. Another one of the babies was stung on the finger. Colby handled it like a champ. He looked like he had been in a bar fight though! So we think we have found when Ayden's and Sadie's romance begun-at Cornbelly's! They danced together and Ayden drove Sadie's carriage. Not too long after this Ayden started telling me that he missed Sadie, that he wanted to kiss her, then actually did kiss her, and they started sneaking off together at Joy School. Do I really already have to worry about this boy?

Pumpkin Patch

We love going to the pumpkin patch to choose our pumpkins! Last year was our fist time going and Colby was only three days old. I think we will keep this tradition up. Ayden loves riding in the wheel barrow, sitting on the tractors and just running around.
Ayden just started wearing his hat backwards all on his own-crazy boy.

The evening that we went was freezing cold! We got all snuggled up for the outing!Man he is looking so old!
