The way our Christmas card pictures really went, me mad at Wyatt for not holding still, so there you have it the real thing.

Scriptures

For part of my sharing time on Sunday I had the kids make these scriptures, they turned out really cute, they are made out of two miniature hershey bars.

Random

The kids are in an old school bus that is at the Old star flour mill, there are alot of things he has around that make a fun picture, this picture was taken the same time as our Christmas card picture. Bret saw these old wagons and wanted a picture with the kids sitting in them, it turned out really cute.

At the Festival of Trees standing by Jolyn and Rowlena's tree, we also saw Patti's but forgot to get a picture of it because we were to worried about getting the picture of Rob for her.

Wyatt and his friend Aiden made these masks and dressed up in their coats hoping to scare someone.

Gingerbread house

Friday I got together with some Family and Friends and we did our annual gingerbread houses, I really enjoy this tradition, my mom started it years ago and I love it every year. I hurried and took a picture before my kids start braking off things, it didn't last long last year.

Basketball

Wyatt was on a little basketball team this fall and Bret was the coach, these are a couple of Wyatt's friends that played with him, Joshua and Aidan.

Future cheerleaders

clever with pull-ups

Wyatt came out with his football clothes on and pull-ups all over him, he said that they were his protective pads, so of course Emily and Abbey had to follow suit, what a bunch of nuts.

Happy birthday dad #66-Nov 8

Happy birthday Dad, I just want you to know how much I love you, and hope you are having a good day. I put some pictures from your mission on my blog because I want my friends to know how much the people there love you as well and to show what an incredible man you are, in the top picture my dad is teaching the women how to crochet ( my dad is amazing at crocheting) don't be mad I told that one dad, the kids love him, the people there just love you dad, I am so proud of you and your example. Love, Shauna

I could here some shoveling this morning and looked out the door and saw Wyatt and Dallin shoveling my driveway, I didn't even ask them to, it was so cute, I have really great kids, by the time I thought to take a picture Dallin was already gone.

Loving the snow

I just had to take a picture of Abbey in her gear for snow weather. She looked in the hat and glove box until she found a match.

Halloween 2008

Wyatt got bumped off of my last post so I had to re-ad him, anyway guess who, yup Indiana Jones.

 

Halloween

Becky Bret's sister had a Halloween party at her home on the 25th, that day also happens to be Emily's birthday so we took a cake to sing happy birthday to her, she turned 14. We had a great time at the party, we ate of course and played musical chairs and Becky had a pinata, It was a lot of fun, thanks Becky. For those of you who know my mom can tell that that is who Emily dressed up as, she came up with it all on her own, I thought it was such a good costume, she loves her Grandma so much.

wanting to get rid of this music

Sorry about the music, I haven't had that happen before, just click on the speaker on the slide at the top and it should turn it off. Does anyone know how to get rid of the music, it's bugging me.

A fun book to read

I am just finishing up with this book, it is so good, so if you need a book to read a suggest it, if you are into suspense. The back reads: We have your wife. You can get her back for two million cash. On an ordinary afternoon, an ordinary man, a gardener of modest means, gets a phone call out of his worst nightmare. The caller is dead serious. He doesn't care that Mitch can't raise that kind of money. He's confident that Mitch will find a way. If he loves his wife enough...

FHE acitivity

This was a fun game we played for FHE last night, thanks to my Mom for the fun idea, and also the pins, my mom has so many fun ideas she is the best. The kids loved it, it was fun watching them try and clip them on their clothes as fast as they could, Abbey got to were she was grabbing a handful of them before the basket got taken away from her again. How we played was you use 2 dice and roll either doubles or a 7or 11 and you try to clip as many on you before someone else rolls it, then when the clip pins are gone the one with the most on them wins.
