This was Kylie's christmas gift. It is called a bumbo and it helps sit her up.

Christmas Day

We have been really blessed. The kids have had a great time playing with all their new stuff. The basement looks like a tornado. I have not even cared, but starting Monday morning we are going to get busy cleaning it all up.

Andi and Alyssa had their dance recital on November 24th. These are their jazz costumes. They did great!!!

Curly Hair

Shayla told me last night she wanted to have me fix her hair curly. So after her bath last night I put it in a french braid. This morning I took out the braid and her hair was all curly. She loved it and thought she looked so cute. She had Christmas parties at both of her preschools today.

Cade and Kylie

Cade and Kylie. I cannot believe how big Kylie is getting. She was two months old yesterday. She is such a good baby. The kids love her and are so excited about her. They are especially excited now that she is smiling back at them.

Diva Shayla

Shayla is wearing my boots in this picture. She loves getting in my closet and trying on all my shoes. Our ward christmas party was the other night and I made the kids wear there red shirts. Shayla comes out of my bathroom wearing my red high heels. She said she was ready to go. She said look red and red. "These are my pretty dancing shoes." It took a little talking her out of wearing my red high heels to the party. If this dress looks familiar to Jana's girls, it was one of theirs. Thanks Jana and girls. I am so glad I asked you for those dresses. Shayla loves them and they are so beautiful.

FHE Gingerbread Houses

We got together with Scott's family the other night for FHE. We made gingerbread houses. The kids did a great job and had tons of fun. The night went way to fast.

cousin time

These cousins love having time to be busy together. This was a "slow down for a minute" so we can capture the moment, on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Backyard fun

Fall in the Ozarks

Beautiful weather today -- 76 degrees! We decided to fly kites with Garrett and Hailey today after celebrating Hailey's birthday. Plus here's a picture of Halloween from last week!

Garrett

I'm sure you can tell who he is!

Hannah Montana

She's prettier than the real thing!

Halloween

Halloween day was beautiful this year. We have been having amazing fall weather. The Lord has answered my prayers. Cade was Anikin Skywalker and Shayla was Ariel. Kylie I did not dress up this year even though the kids wanted me to. Because it was such a beautiful night the kids were gone with Robbie trick or treating for almost two hours. The got tons of candy and were both super worn out. I stayed home and passed out candy. I bought $2 wal-mart hair dye for Shayla's hair and the red kept getting everywhere. She thought it was cool to have red hair though.
