Thanksgiving

Jeff made another beautiful turkey this year. I would love to cook some year, but Jeff doesn't even allow me in the kitchen. I'm so blessed to have a wonderful partner in my life! Everyone pitched in to make a wonderful meal and even the dishes were washed by all. I'm so grateful to have such a loving, caring family, beautiful, healthy children and great friends! Truly grateful that my father was her to celebrate this Thanksgiving and that he overcame the stroke! I think we need to remind ourselves to be thankful everyday!

Breakfast with Santa

We had breakfast with Santa. Christina was terrified and I had to hold her down on Santa's lap for a picture. The rest of the morning was filled with games and making crafts. This helped her took forget how terrifying the big man in the red suite is. Sorry not too many pictures, my battery died :(

Wheeler Farm

A great day at Wheeler farm!

Carving Pumpkins

Great day of carving pumpkins, decorating cookies and making caramel apples!

Oh ya and dress up!!

Scream Dance Performance by Tatiana

Tati had a great performance last Saturday and was in four dances. She has definitely blossomed into a wonderful girl, full of energy and enthusiasm. She has came out of her shell and has found her passion..and it is Dance!!

The Fair

Tati and Jesse so excited for the big drop!

Christina and the froggy Daddy won her.

Big man in a little helicopter!

Madison crying as usual!
A great day at the Fair. Madison cried on every ride and screamed and kicked when Daddy made her get on the pony. Christina is our little dare devil. She loved every ride and was sad when she couldn't go on the big rides with Tati.

Tati's birthday at Rockport

For Tati's birthday we went boating at Rockport and she camped in the yurt with her Dad and Kaitlyn.

School has started!

The new school year has started and it is way crazy. Chelsea is a senior this year and has started her first job. She is taking several honor classes and has a ton of homework. She is going to attend the University of Utah hopefully if she can qualify for grants and scholarships. Tatiana is in her last year of Junior High and her first year in the same school as Jesse. Tatiana is in dance 3 days a week and every other Saturday. She is on three competitive dance teams and hopefully we can cut that down to two in November. The twins are always busy. In their free time they enjoy painting each other with yogurt, filling the sink full of water and watching gold fish crackers swim. They make an awesome sand cake which they love to throw all over the patio that daddy just cleaned. As for Jeff and I we have completely lost our minds trying to keep up with it all. Hopefully can post more soon if I have not went insane!

First Drive-In movie

We took the kids to their first Drive-In movie to see Toy Story 3.
Tati and I enjoyed it. The rest of the family fell asleep. Kinda hard to watch a movie with Daddy snoring.
