Fun thanksgiving craft

Aunt Haydee did this really cute craft with the kids on thanksgiving. They had so much fun and looked so cute.

Happy Birthday Haydee!

Thanks for letting us share your big day. It was fun.

Your what 29 now?

What a feast! Happy Thanksgiving

The kids Table! Just look at them all. And that's only the ones big enough to sit by themselves. What a group. The Big people table. The only thing missing was Matt and Angie and the kids. We missed you guys! It's always a great thing when you have so many people your not sure were your going to put them all. It was nice and cozy but I think we fit just fine. What a great meal we had. Thanks everyone for pitching in and adding your touch to the meal. I was awesome and so much fun to do it with all of you. We made memories that will last forever ( like spilling turkey juice all over the kitchen floor in the middle of trying to cook everything else). I couldn't figure out where my rug had gone until Kevin told me he had to through it away. But hey, I got a really clean oven and floor due to it so all in all it was great.

Fun with cousins!

These boys had such a blast together.

They were instant buddies.

Nate misses you guys.

Watching cartoons in my bed.

Such a big helper! I need all the help I can get that I even recruted Micah! Actually it was the first chance that she had to feed a babie since Maria had already gone home. Thanks Maria for all the help.

Cameron and Bella playing ring around the rosies. She really liked Cameron but then he is an easy guy to like.

Wow did we have a great time with all the cousins here. My kids were in heaven. It was sooo so fun getting to know all these sweet little babies. Although most of them aren't babies anymore. Its amazing how much they have all grown and how much they change. I am convinced after this thanksgiving together that we cannot let it be that long again between visits. Family is to important and I miss to many things in these little ones lives not not mention the moms and dads. We sure loved having everyone here. Thanks everyone for coming and making it a great thanksgiving. We missed you matt and Angie and gang. It wasn't the same without you.

Make Overs

We changed the colors in my bedroom and the kids bathroom. I think they turned out great. Kev also redid the floor in the kids bathroom. He took out the nasty linoleum and put in tile. He did an awesome job but then what do you expect from and artist like Kev. It's hard to tell but they really are different colors.

FUN FALL FAMILY FOTOS

Fall Pictures

We took the kids out to the farm on Sunday afternoon to get some fall pictures. We got some pretty fun ones. Lexi wasn't sure she wanted to cooperate at first but decided she liked being in front of the camera to much not to. Because the babies can't sit by them selves it made it hard to get individuals of them. We had a great time anyway and thought we would share.

FROLICKING IN THE FALL LEAVES

Cameron and Nathan decided they would be really nice and rake up all the leaves in the back yard. We should have known it was only so that they could scatter them around again. Oh well! They had a blast burying each other in the leaves and throwing them up in the air. I think that playing in the leaves is something you never really outgrow.

Having fun with the camera!

Just playing around with some fun effects on the camera.

The kids thought they were pretty funny.

Halloween 2007

Tuckered out little Cinderella.

We went to some friends house for soup and trick-or-treating. Lexi walked all over the neighborhood and got way to much candy. She thought it was great! Well we only had about a 4 minute ride home but I guess that was too long for this princes. She climbed into the back of the suburban and crashed. (notice the popcorn ball by her head that rolled out of her hand. What precious moments. So glad we can capture them to share!

All six kids ready to go trick or treating! Bear #1 Bear #2

(He's not so sure about the whole make-up thing!)

Mia and Mason won the cutest brother sister

costume award at our ward trunk or treat!

Watch out!! this fierce looking dragon has been known to breath fire!

Mia's halloween costume!

Mia poked her eye on Monday and would not open either one all day. So by about 5:30 we decided to take her to ER (per Dr's orders). When we got there Kev dropped me off to take her in while he went to park. Well when I went to sign her in I looked down and she was wide awake looking up at me. So I called Kevin and we decided to wait and see what happened. After we got home she again would not open her eyes for several hours. The next morning I took her in to see her Dr. They put some florescent yellow drops in her eye and looked at it under a black light. They decided that she had scratched her cornea and needed to be patched so it would heal quicker. The Dr said "look on the bright side, you don't have to come up with a costume". The nurse wasn't quite sure how to put such a big patch on such a little eye. She looked really pathetic but did really great!
