Pictures of Our Life: Part 1

These are just some random pictures of what our days are like...Yes the kids do stay in pjs for a lot of the day.

They are all "helping" with the dishes. Or maybe they are just dropping random things in the water. I couldn't resist this picture...I love their cute little bums.

Pictures of Our Life: Part 2

We went for a walk in a neighborhood with large homes and lots of land. We found this stream and bridge with a path. The kids loved it. Spencer and Kaden enjoyed climbing the rock wall. I was a little nervous watching them but I'm glad I let them do it. They were so proud of themselves.

I'm trying to get them out into nature more...it is a lot harder then I thought it would be. Especially in the winter. It takes a lot more time getting them all dressed for a walk outside...More so since they do like to get dressed in clothes unless we are going somewhere.

:

Addy enjoying pizza. This is a recipe that my mom always used to make and I love it! Sometimes it's not the prettiest looking pizza but it is good...and messy.

Breakfast with Santa

We had the best Santa and Mrs. Claus for the Primary party. It was a brother and his wife in the ward. His wife's mother made their suits...they were amazing and beautiful. I think he somehow dyed his beard or something...they were perfect. Addy didn't seem to appriate it though.

Kaden went right to him and talked and loved it! Spencer didn't even want to talk about talking to Santa. He was just happy watching...from a distance.

And again Addy. I think Santa is reaching for a candy cane as fast as he can. Poor Addy, the things we do to our children.

Preschool Christmas Program

This was a cute program. There was a backdrop and costumes, music, and dancing. Miss Lori, Spencer's teacher provided all the costumes...she provided everything. It was awesome! The amazing thing was that Spencer stayed up there the whole time! I was so happy. Grandma and Grandpa Hodson were able to come too. The play was in Santa's workshop. It was of the elves making all of the toys.

Spencer was the Locomotive for the toy train set.

For most of the program...especially the singing parts Spencer had his hand over his ears.

The Caboose, Evan, was the only train part that preformed.

At the end of Spencer's program...Santa came to visit. And...da da da...Spencer, yes that is right SPENCER, sat on his lap! I never thought he would do that! This was a day of miracles...it might have helped that all his friends were doing it and that Santa was handing out toys.

Samuel

Charla came to visit with my new little nephew, Samuel! He is super cute! Don't you just love his dimples. I wanted to squish him all day. He is a very good and happy baby. I just so I can brag, I made that sweater he is wearing in the first two pictures!
