Robby's Birthday

So Robby celebrated his birthday on Halloween this year. He wanted to have his friends wear their costumes and bob for apples. Those were his two requirements oh and a spider cake. So we decided to do the hanging donut game, paint pumpkins(from uncle Andy), and bob for apples. Robby had so much fun and he was so excited because it was his first birthday that he was able to invite some friends.

I am so thankful for Robby. He is a little comic relief in our family. He loves to laugh and make other people laugh as long as you are not laughing at him. He is as big as Aeryka and I have been asked several times if they are twins. He loves Star Wars and any super hero. He loves Davy Crockett, Robin Hood, legos, and gamecube. He loves to run and will run all the way to school. He also loves learning to read. I don't have to ask him to practice at all. He is so excited to be reading level books. Loves kindergarten and is so excited to go each day. We are so lucky that Robby was sent to our family. We are thankful each day for him.

Halloween

Well, it is almost Thanksgiving so I thought I had better post a picture of the kids on Halloween. The girls wanted to be indian princess's and Robby wanted to be Robin Hood. Nicholas wanted to be a vet but instead he decided to get swine flu. I thought I took a picture of him laying on the couch but I can't find it. He was so sick he didn't care that he couldn't go to Robby's birthday party or trick-or-treating. The kids got candy for Nicky, which he was very happy about. Yes' i know it is hard to get a normal picture of my kids.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hey everyone. Just wanted to post a little bit of a Happy Thanksgiving message. The following video is a what "not to do" with your Thanksgiving dinner. It's long (sorry, about 14 minutes) and it can get kinda stomach churning at times, but it's a good life lesson learned.

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pictures of how our cute pumpkins turned out this year. My mom and Aunt Sarah came for Halloween weekend so we have a couple of extra pumpkins. All of the pumpkins that I canned this year and that we carved this year were thanks to Uncle Andy and Aunt Liz's massive pumpkin patch. Of course we can't forget Taytum who planted most of the seeds with her friend. We had so much fun carving them and eating all the yummy muffins, cookies, and pies. That we have had so far this year.

I am so thankful for my brothers family that was willing to share their pumpkins and potatoes with us. We will be enjoying it for many months to come.

Jessy is 4

Jessy turned 4. One of the joy's of living by a cousin that is only 2 weeks older than you is you get to have birthday parties together. Jessy is such a fun girl to have in our family. I did not get a picture of her cake but I made her microphone cupcakes because she loves to sing. She loves to look at her self in any reflective surface and then announce "I'M FABULOUS!" It is so funny. She loves preschool and her dolls, she is a good little mommy to them. She loves to play with her brothers and her sister. Without a doubt she is the baby of the family and allows Aeryka to carry her to bed like a baby. It is so funny to watch because Aeryka only weighs about 10 lbs. more than her.

I am so thankful that Jessy is in our family. She brings enjoyment to this family and she helps us to remember how lucky we are to have her as part of our family. We love her and we are so glad that Heavenly Father sent her to our family even if we thought that we weren't ready for another baby. I am so glad that Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us and that he knows better than us what we need.
