Family Pictures!

We finally decided to add Haven to our family portrait, after 9 months it was about time(yes these were taken a couple months ago, I'm a slow poke). Thanks to a good friend of ours that does Photography, she was amazing and the kids were awesome. It was such a great experience. Check out her blog at http://www.melissasuephotographyblog.com/ , thanks Melissa.

So here are a few extra pictures that we got taken, but I'm not displaying on the blog outline.

Random Fall Pics!

Some of the new things that have been going on in our life, are as follows:
We have been trying to see what interests Henry has, and all he has been talking about is Karate and how he wants to try Karate out. So we signed him up for a class. He absolutely loves it and has fun with it. The teacher is great, he has already earned 4 stripes on his belt. It is fun and funny to watch him during class.

Here they are playing a game at the end of class.


Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving dinner with Jasons family at our house this year. Since the kids had a few days off and we weren't going anywhere, we decided to venture out and take the kids to a nearby hotel with waterslides for the night. It was a lot of fun, we went swimming, ate, had a movie night, slept(tried to at least), ate, went swimming again. It was fun spending time with our little family, although I do prefer to sleep at home in our own beds, instead of 6 of us in one room(Morgan in the closet). Good times though!

Morgan had a little Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool and she got to invite a guest to join her, so she chose Grandpa. She has Grandpa wrapped around her tiny little finger. He was so excited to go and even got her some adorable flowers. When she saw them, she said 'Those are for ME!' It was priceless. I don't know who had more fun, Morgan or Grandpa?

The kids love to play, and they always fight over who gets to play with Haven. Sorry Haven, you are just like a real doll because you do whatever they want.

Katelyn has been wanting this day to come for so long. Her dad said it wouldn't happen until she was 8 years old, but I talked him into doing it a few months early. It was the off season with soccer and I didn't want it to take away from other exciting events on her 8th birthday.

So Katelyn and I got to have a Girls Day Out. She was sooo excited and nervous at the same time. She was a very Brave girl and didn't shed a tear.

The kids had been waiting for this day for a while. As soon as they realized that there was enough snow for them to go play in, they were off.

Happy Halloween 2011'

Our Bat Girl!
Halloween seems like it was so long ago. The kids had a great time and got Tons and Tons of candy once again. I got a few costumes on sale last year after halloween and they were all happy to use them this year, so I was glad. Morgan-Bat Girl, Katelyn-Flapper Girl, Haven-Kitty, Henry-GI Joe

It was so fun to go to the school for the Halloween Parade, Henry was so excited for us to see him. He is such a big boy and loves doing the same things as Katelyn and being involved.

We did have a church party and yes we did decide to dress up for it. I didn't manage to get any pictures of it though, but I dressed up as if I were going to the spa(face mask and all), Jason was sporting a mullet, what a great look for him.

Fall Happenings!

Ya I know that I'm so far behind, here are a few pics from this fall. We got to travel once again for Jasons race. We headed down to Las Vegas over UEA for the 'Vegas Ragnar' and to hang out with family. Jason organized a van with brother in laws and a friend. They had a great time together, and it was fun to hear all their goofy stories afterwards.
We also had a good time shopping, playing, and chasing the kids around.

I took the kids downtown one afternoon to meet the 'Real' lightening McQueen 2 characters.' They had some free gifts and activities for the kids to promote the new movie. The kids loved it.
