T-man wrestles

I know I'm a little past due for and update, but better late than never. The wrestling season has finally came to a close, (thank goodness). Taylor did a great job and absolutely loves to wrestle. The last wrestle match was in American Fork a state tournament for 5th and 6th graders. Taylor took 4th place and did a great job. We are so proud of him.

Happy Birthday Gabrielle

I wanted to share with everyone some things about Gabrielle for her birthday, yes I know I'm 2 days late. Gabrielle is the peace maker of our family, if ever there is a problem she jumps right in and makes it all better. She is a wonderful big and little sister. This morning while I was in the shower she watched Kennedy for me and when I got out I came into the family room to check on them and she was holding Kennedy watching cartoons on her lap and was tickling Kennedy's forehead with her fingers. It was the cutest thing I've seen. Kennedy was just smiling looking up at her big sister. Gabrielle noticed me watching her and was smiling, shooshing me away with her hand. Gabrielle has also taken interest in her ceramics class, she does a wonderful job and likes to go. I'm amazed at how wonderful she is doing in it. This year for her birthday she wanted a karaoke machine, so we have had are own entertainment. She has the High School Musical cd now memorized. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter and sister. Happy Birthday to you Gabrielle. We love you!

Winter Fun

We took the kids outside yesterday and played in the snow, poor Kennedy looked like a pink marshmallow and if she fell down, she couldn't get up because her snow suit is way to big for her. She had so much fun playing with the kids and the dogs. Taylor, Gabrielle and Laramie had quite the snowball fight, Kennedy and I stayed out of the way. After the snowball fight and shoveling the walk ways we built a snowman. When it was time to come in Kennedy screamed and screamed and screamed. She loved being outside with everyone.

Helping dad rake the leaves

Kennedy had a blast helping her dad rake the leaves. She had so much fun that she had a 4 hour nap that day.

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween, we started on Thursday night by carving pumpkins. For some reason Lar and I are the last ones at the table finishing the pumpkins and the kids have disappeared. Friday night we went to the trunk or treat, then on Saturday we went trick or treating.We made pumpkin pizza's and had a skeleton veggie tray, that Gab and I made. Gab did a great job at cutting up the veggies. The kids looked great in their costumes, Baby K didn't quite know what to think of her brother and sister with their painted faces. It took her a little while to figure out that it was ok. The kids got tons of candy and after trick or treating we went for ice cream ( Lar's idea). Afterwards we came home and sorted through all the candy and made sure that we (me and Lar) got the candy that we wanted first. The kids know every year that their dad goes through the candy first and I think that the older they get the more they dread it, cause he takes the best candy first.
