Return of The Elf on the Shelf

Daddy read 'The Elf on the Shelf' and the kids were excited to wake in the morning to their old pal!

Fall Fun!

Patrick raked up some leaves at my Grandma's and we let Tyler, Hailey and Sydney go wild. It was so much fun to watch them. They had a blast!

Decorating the Christmas Tree!

Decorating the tree was so much fun this year for the kids. The ornaments ended up on the bottom half of the tree and we left them there for the most part. I love the holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Check out his jumping skills!

 The family went to Angie's house this year for Thanksgiving. Here are some of the kids eating their yummy meal!

 I am thankful for him!

1st Day of Hunting!

The first day of the big sheep hunt was pretty uneventful. We saw A LOT of decent size Rams. Earlier in the morning we spotted a group of 4 HUGE Rams. We set off after them but they spooked when we were about 500 yards away. We lost them after that! We did see many more smaller ones, but I decided not to shoot anything small, especially on the first day and knowing that there was some big ones out there somewhere! Our crew for this day consisted of Pat, Wes, My Dad, Patrick and the Milton family!

Hair cut time!

Tyler LOVES getting his hair cut! He is sure cute!

Yummy... Or NOT!

These two love to make yummy (or not) concoctions all the time! This one consisted of uncooked noodles, goldfish, water, gushers, cookies, and lots and lots of salt and pepper. 

Big Boy

This little guy gets so excited to use the big boy potty. We are working on it becoming a permanent thing! We are also working on him not calling his underwear "panties!" Silly boy! HAHA!

Circus Circus

We went with the whole family to Circus Circus for Hannah's birthday. Everyone had a great time!

 The kids riding the bus, a favorite for the little ones!

 YEA!

 Choo Choo!

 Wes and Ty riding the train. Ty was having a BLAST!

 FUN!

 WOO HOO! 

 Tyler was a little worried about this ride at first but since the big kids were doing it he just had to!

 Ready, Set...

 GO!

 They all loved this ride so much that they had to keep doing it OVER and OVER again!

 Aunt Amy and Tyler!

 Papa, Gega and all the grandkids!

 Fishing with Daddy... and they were big winners!

 Getting dressed for a photo with the cousins. He was so excited to dress like a Cowboy!

 This is what happens when a little girl spills her WHOLE bottle of water in her Daddy's lap. I was LAUGHING so hard!

 She was SO tired!
