Ella gets her ears pierced




My poor girls have the worst time when their ears are pierced.  We pierced Ella's when she was younger and she got a huge infection in one ear.  It got so bad it went down the side of her neck.  I was very apprehensive about her doing it again.  With much pleading and begging we tried it again.  She was mad when we got done that we didn't get another picture when it was all over. 

Leaves




We might not get snow to stick but we do get leaves to play in!

12 Days Until Christmas Countdown

 We did a count down for Christmas advent calander here are few things we did.

 Building a snowman in where we live can be a little tricky.  I think ours turned out super cute!



 Make reindeer cookies.  Wyatt even got to take these to his scouts for his Christmas party

A few other things we did were to go look at Christmas lights, do a secret service for someone in the family, make hot chocolate floats, make and take goodies to neighbors, and read the Christmas story.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

 First we started with these big lights.  Realized the tree looked very Charlie Brown.  So we took them off and got smaller lights.
Funny thing is between decorating and decorating again I must not have taken any pictures except these two.

Christmas Cookies




We love to make sugar cookies with lots of fluffy icing.  We love to share them with Santa!  Fun and delicious family tradition.

Mustache

During Thanksgiving Allison got everyone mustache tatoos.  We had a ball with them!  Wyatt more then anyone.  Aunt Allison gave him some extra ones to take home.  One day he asked if he could wear one to school.  I was surpised but told him sure!  But not ot be disapointed if his teacher wanted him to wash it off.  He went to school and his teacher LOVED it!  She even took his picture.  Oh so cute!

Weston is 16 and dating!


Weston has been on a few dates since he turned 16!  He is so handsome!  A few dads have come up to us and told us how they appreciate Weston's good manners and how he asks the dads when they would like their daughter home and lets them know what they will be doing.  They grow too fast.

Christmas Tree







After Thanksgiving we usually like to go and get a Christmas tree on our way home.  This year there was no snow and we couldn't really find one.  Anetta and Than came with us and Diana had just had her baby Dallin so we also had her kids with us.  Eventually we found one!

Wyatt's Baptism








Wyatt was baptized in Eagar, Az.  We had him wait one extra month so we could do his baptism during Thanksgiving.  That way all of his cousins could be there. 

Wyatt has such a sweet spirit.  He is always worried about others and is alwys willing to help.  Everyday he tells me he loves me and asks if he can help me.  He has a very soft heart.  We are very greattful for Wyatt in our famiy!  Way to go Wyatt!

Thanksgiving






Thanksgiving was a lot of fun!  We went to Grammy Cheryl's house and got to hang out with cousins.  We also had a Christmas party.  We opened gifts from one another. played games, watched the kids do a talent show and had yummy soup.  It was a great time hanging out with the family.

Stake Conference

This past Sunday was Stake Conference.  I loved it!  During conference Brent and I both shhh'ed Ella and told her to listen.  Brent pulled up on his lap and she said out loud, "I don't get it.  I really don't get it!"

Sleeping on the porch

Trett really wanted to sleep on the porch.  He talked Wyatt and Ella into joining him.  As soon as the movie was over they were in the house and left Trett to sleep by himself.  Luckily Weston joined him.  It stormed that night.  It is November and it was cold.  The wind blew hard and it rained.  Brent checked on them and they said they liked the wind blowing over them while they were all snuggled in.

Picnic

Wyatt and Ella packed a picnic and then went out and enjoyed it.  When they were done they climbed the tree as high as they could.

Scouts


Trett and his Den did a really cute skit.  Trett also got a trophy for his pinewood derby car and many other awards.  Way to go Trett!

Feild trip to Discovery Park


Ella invited me to go with her to her field trip to Discovery Park.  We learned about wildlife.  Thank you Ella I had a lot of fun!
