The Polar Express

We went up to ride the Polar Express with all of Jeremy's family and it started out with great excitement...then Kelsi tripped. Jayden and Boston had fun, while Jeremy and I took our sweet little Kelsi to the hospital to get stitches. She just tripped crossing the isle and hit her head on the end of the seat, but it was hard enough to split the edge of her eye open. Well, we got her all patched up and went back to the hotel and still had a great time and made some fun memories!
All the Cousins! Such a fun memory!

If Kelsi looks out of it, it is because she is...

Her two little stitches...

The hole..

It was Fun for a little while!
We are soo Excited...
We did make it onto the Train...This was about two minutes before she tripped!

This is our family memory of the Polar Express...I am sure we will try again!

Boston's First Birthday!

Well, Boston turned one! It was pretty mellow as far as birthdays go. Boston had the flu, but I did get a couple smiles out of him! We cancelled the party after he threw up after nap time. The kids and Jeremy and I sang to him, but the poor guy didn't want much to do with his cake. But a big thank-you to Amy for making such an adorable cake! The girls and I enjoyed it!
Aside from the birthday being no fun for Boston, he is such a sweet little boy and I am so glad to have him! We love you Boston!

Halloween Fun!

We have had a lot of halloween fun this last week, four Halloween parties! Yes, four! So, to showcase all the fun, here are the pics in two slide shows. Thanks to Aunt Sherrie for all her hard work and yummy soup! Julie you know how to put on a party! The girls went to a neighbor's friend party, and we had the college crew up for some fun! For those that are wondering...Ashoka is Anakin Skywalker's "Padowan"...ie (Jayden is the girl Jedi)...Jayden has asked Dad to be Darth Vader for a couple of years, so we finally broke down and did it... We couldn't talk Kelsi into joining The Star Wars fan club, so she is our little mermaid in the mix. What a cute one too! And finally, Boston...it fits doesn't it?! I can't stop laughing myself. I know I look just like her, but it really is me dressed up as Leah! So...I hope you all have a great week and Happy Halloween!

My little Snuggler

Boston loves to snuggle in the laundry....so I caught the moment. BTW, if you can, check out his two little teeth! I love this little guy!

awww.... so sweet!

Watching the Garden Grow

We grew a garden this year....tried at least, but we did harvest the tomatoes, and pumpkins! We did get some Zuccini through the summer...so not too bad. Next year I am going to do potatoes though, I love garden fresh potatoes... it's the Idaho in me! But here we are harvesting some of our fruits! Jayden showing how many tomatoes we picked!
Some of our Pumpkins! These all came from one plant!
Picking Pumkins out of our Patch!

"Wee Witches Night Out"

So, the kids and I decided to go and check out the witches at Gardener's Village... and it was so fun! We showed up and it happened to be Wee Witches Night Out, and it was crowded! Had I known, we would have been dressed up because we were out of place in our regular clothes! Everyone was dressed up and their kids too... But even without costumes, we had a blast.. Next year we are going in costumes!
This one was our favorite, she hula huped! Kelsi was a little unsure of takeing her eyes off her that close....

Kelsi running in true form....picking her nose while I take a picture, it was dark so I couldn't see her doing this, but it looks like Boston was too, so I guess I will post this and laugh... fun times

Kelsi turns 3!

This is my big three year old! She loves horses, dolphins, dora, diego, shirts with dohnuts, ice cream, cupcakes, or anything else with her favorites on them...She sings Book of Mormon stories with the actions (I am trying to catch it on video)...loves her school...likes to do puzzels, play with her friends and was cavity free at three! She and Boston are little buddies, they like to chase after each other. She brings a smile to my face everyday!

Kelsi turns three! Thanks to Aunt Julie for a fun Dora and Diego cake! Aunt Susie came!(notice the rather large plastic dohnut sitting next to Kelsi...) Aunt mary found the perfect gift at her local grocery store for our little dohnut lover...in the dog toy section!
She had her first friend party... we went to build a bear! Thanks for coming friends!
The morning of her birthday!

She loves her Dora dollhouse!
And to go with the squeeky dohnut, a dolphin balloon... If you know Kelsi, these are her favorite things...Dax, griff and crew celebrated with us too!

Lucky for us...Emily was here too!

Kelsi we love you and are so glad you are in our family! Go Kelsi Go!
