October 2012 to Present

Wow, I’ll be caught up after this!

We went to Cornbelly’s at Thanksgiving Point.  This is the only picture I have to show for it.

We went to Thanksgiving Point Farm.  This little pony was 6 months old!  They put them at the pony ride to get used to it, but they don’t actually allow people to ride them until they are 2-3 years old.

Halle raked leaves at my mom’s house and loved every minute of it! 10.13.12-1

More time spent at Lagoon for Frightmares.  Halle really hates the scary people that walk around and squeals and hides behind me.

10.13.12-4

We went to Tracy Aviary and paid to feed the birds.  Worth every penny.  I thought Eli would be nervous, but he loved it!  Halle was a little nervous, but then got used to it and really enjoyed it.

We celebrated birthdays in October.  We celebrated the birthdays of my dad, my nephew Hayden, my cousin Damon, and Eli.10.28.12-8

Eli got a singing card from Great Grandma Kline (behind him in the picture) and loved it.  It was a Tigger card.10.28.12-15

For Halloween Halle was a witch.  She was so excited to get her face painted.  I wore this exact costume when I was her age.

The kids were so tired on the drive home from the game.11.03.12-10

The day before Thanksgiving I too the day off work because my sister and her family were in town.  The girls all got pedicures.11.21.12-3

Halle held my mom’s hand pretty much the whole time and kept predicting who would be finished first.  She won.  Erin was last place.11.21.12-411.21.12-5

On Thanksgiving Erin and Paulette coordinated a turkey trot.  My brother lives just a mile from my mom so the kids started there and ran/biked/scootered to my parents’. Halle won on her scooter.

Followed by Ethan.

Brenden did a great job considering he was having a hard time getting enough air in our higher altitude.  In Alaska they are at sea level.

Then Hayden.

11.22.12-7

Ainslee got the easy way out riding in the van with Dustin.11.22.12-9

Nolan barely beat Paulette.  Obviously Paulette was devastated she lost.  Nolan was having the same breathing issue as Bren.11.22.12-12

Halle and I made a gingerbread village.11.23.12-2

We had lights put on our house.  Blue, Purple, White.11.23.12-4

Patch loved his new reindeer ears.  Black Friday they came free with any purchase at Petco!

Halle was sic…again…and Eli was copying her resting on the couch.11.26.12-1

We saw Santa at Harmon’s!12.01.12

And Halle was sick…AGAIN.  Jared got a projector for his iPad so she got to watch shows on her ceiling.  She made it to school 2 days in two weeks.  She was out a whole week after Thanksgiving because she had been exposed to Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease and had a high fever.  Luckily she never got the blisters, but Eli did.  We were confined to our house for 10 days.  The following week she went to school Monday and Tuesday, then woke up with croup Wednesday and was out the rest of the week.

We got to see Santa at our church Christmas party.12.15.12-2

Life is great and we have been very blessed this year.  Merry Christmas!
