Happy Halloween!!!

Our beautiful Princess! Tasia wanted to be Alexa from Barbie's Diamond Princess. She had a lot of fun at school today. She loved dressing up. They had a parade around the school and they had a Halloween party in her Kindergarten class.

A princess, two fireman and a little kitty. What fun Halloween is.

All of the cousins met at Grandpa and Grandma DeWitt's house for pictures. Are family is really growing. These are some really great costumes.

Instead of going trick or treating around town, we did a trunk or treat in the church parking lot. I love the idea. It is so much safer and the kids are still able to get a bunch of candy. They love it.

Dandin absolutely loved this dog dressed up like super-man. He couldn't keep his eyes off of it.

Linnea's First Bath

Here are some pictures of Linnea's first bath. With all of my other children their umbilical cord fell off between one and two weeks. Linnea's was being difficult and didn't want to fall off on its own. The doctor said that if it didn't fall off by four weeks that he would help it, so that is what we did. He had to put some special stuff on it and the next day it came off. Yea! We were getting tired of sponge baths. She seemed to enjoy her first bath, even though the sink was a little small for her.

Pumpkin Carving at Grandpa Steve's

This last Sunday we went to Grandpa Steve's and did some pumpkin carving. The kids had a lot of fun doing it and spending time with Grandpa and Grandma. Tasia's pumpkin is a castle. Ry's is the silly face and Dandin's is the regular smiling pumpkin. I think they each fit the kids personalities well.

Dad did a good job carving the pumpkins. Coby played some songs for us. Jeff and Coby sound great together.

Dandin claimed this chair for his own. He wouldn't share with anyone.

Grandma Randi looking cute in her pumpkin shirt holding baby Linnea.

Fishing with Dad!

Jeff and the kids decided to go try out Ryland's new fishing pole. They went to a couple of ponds in St. George. Unfortunately they didn't catch any fish. The kids sure did have fun.

What a wonderful family I have!

Ryland and Dandin love to run. It is hard to keep up with them sometimes.

Since Dandin didn't really fish, he threw rocks in the pond. He loved it.

Tasia and Ryland fishing. Are new hobby I think.

Ryland's 4th Birthday!

Ryland had a wonderful 4th birthday. Grandpa Steve got him a spider-man fishing pole and he loves it. Thanks Grandpa!

Ry wants to be a fireman when he grows up. He is also going to be a fireman for Halloween this year. It was cute to watch him play pretend fireman. He would go around the house putting out fires and acting like a fireman.

Ryland wanted a spider-man cake. I think Jeff did a wonderful job.

Camping in Kolob

We went up to Kolob for a family reunion on my side of the family. We spent the day there on Thursday and then went back up Friday night and spent the night for Tasia's birthday. We were able to stay in a toy hauler trailer. That is the only way to camp. No more tents for me if I can help it. The kids love to go on 4-wheeler rides. That is all they wanted to do when we were up there.

I love this picture of Ryland. I thought he looked cute.

Daddy's little girl!

The kids saw this tree in LaVerkin on our way to Kolob and it was all they could talk about in the car. On our way home Jeff stopped by and let the kids get out and take a look. They thought it was pretty neat.

Tasia's 6th Birthday

For Tasia's sixth birthday we went up to Kolob camping overnight with some relatives. The kids had a blast. I can't believe my baby girl is already six years old.

She loved here present. It was Sleeping Beauty's horse. It is pretty cool, it actually walks.

We love you Aunt Sara!!!

Thanks for the early birthday presents Aunt Sara. The kids love them. Ryland carries his around everywhere. He is trying to stick the suction cups to everything. Tasia loves the barbie. It sure was fun to be able to see you. I know the kids loved it. Thanks Uncle Eric for sharing her with us.

Two beautiful pictures of Linnea. She is growing up fast. She has already gained almost a pound and she is only two weeks old.

Sara my kids loved the crazy eye glasses!

Dandin's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe my little boy is already two. The last couple of years have gone by so fast. Dandin is such a joy in our lives. I can't imagine what are family would be like without him. He is such a good boy. So sweet. He has the cutest personality. He makes Jeff and I laugh all of the time. He is a very calm, peaceful little boy. (so far) We love him very much.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that came and celebrated Dandins's birthday. He had a blast. Even though he was pretty shy with everyone, he sure did love opening presents and eating cake. I loved the way he said thank you and how he even got excited opening the cards.

In this picture, Jeff taught him how to say that he is two and how to show it.

He loved the cupcake!

You can tell what a happy boy he is from this picture. He always has a smile on his face.

Some cute pictures!

For Jeff's birthday I wanted to get a good picture of all of our kids, so that he could put it on his desk. Well the kids didn't really cooperate with me. This is as good as it got. Oh well, at least he has a picture of all his kids now.

This is one of Tasia's baby doll cribs. I couldn't believe that Linnea actually fit in it.

So precious, I wish she could stay this small for awhile. They grow up way to fast.

Jeff's 31st Birthday, Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

The kids were so excited for Daddy's Birthday. They had a lot of fun helping me make the birthday cake. Dandin was very excited for the birthday cake. It is a good thing his birthday is in a few days. I love the picture of all of the kids and Jeff blowing out the candles. Sweet baby Linnea just slept right through the whole thing.
