Fall Family pictures!

I love doing family pictures! 

We did it at Thanksgiving point gardens this time....SOO pretty!

There were so many beautiful places, but this was my favorite spot, with my favorite people!!

I love looking at these cute kids, I just love these kids!!!!!

slouchy hat

I have been wanting to have a slouchy beanie hat. They are pretty spendy from those online boutique places. So I figures I would try my hand at making one...or 2

Here is one of the sweaters I found in the D.I. pile

Turned into this. I used the sleeve to make a matching one for her Ever After High doll

Then I found a cute sweater that the girls outgrew and made this one...one of my favorites!

This one was a 6-9 month sweater vest that was MyKays

This was the first one that I did, I think it turned out pretty cute. Ken Loves it!

This is my other favorite one that I made.  It was nerve wracking because it was from a sweater I liked pretty well, but it is even better as a hat!

I may continue on making these out of old sweaters!!  Re-purposing a sweater sure beats spending $30 bucks on one!  I ended up making a matching hat set for each of the girls and their dolls...It was super fun!  

That's what boys do

It funny seeing the difference between my girls and MyKay..

This is one thing, I find lines of cars in random places, in his room, on the fireplace, in his doorway. Last night I spied him with his rumble trucks lined up and then he would pull the string and just sit and watch them rumble.  He did it over and over and over again. 
 Cars are fascinating to him! The orange one is one of his rumble trucks.

In this picture he was trying to give me a look with one raised eyebrow...he couldn't quite get it, but it was funny to watch him try. The yellow truck with the boulder in it is his other rumble truck.  You pull the rock and it pulls the string and then rumbles like it is idling as the string comes back, He loves those things! 

This one was pretty epic!  Look at all those cars!

 Another row of cars, I find them everywhere!

He LOVES to be outside with Dad! 

If Dad is outside, he will not be satisfied until he is out there too! 

He loves to act like he is a big boy....don't grow up too fast my little guy!!

Playing Peek-a-boo

I love this here boy!

Every time we go to Grandpa's house he asks to sit on the tractor and he thinks he is in the big time when he is sitting on it! Look at that face.  This is serious business!

I went into his room to turn of the humidifier and I hear "Mooooom!' I said "Where are you buddy?" I turned around and see that he has taken all of the snuggles out and is now sitting in the basket with his alligator, so proud of himself! He is such a cute little goof!

School begins and BRACES!

Denise got them "Frozen" instruments after seeing their frozen play while they were here!

I love Homeschool!!!!

Everyone sitting around the table playing with math manipulatives

Weighing and measuring 

Counting the bears and sorting their colors

He likes to dump them from cup to cup

Squeezing the last little bit of warm weather before it gets cold! When did Saileen get so tall?

Derek is building shelves for his garage

He is finally going to have his garage organized, he was very excited!

Her pose was priceless, she still cruises around on her balance bike!

They have been taking the roller cart on the sidewalk like a bobsled!

They use these plastic pipes as almost ores to keep themselves going straight!

He loves this flag for some reason, I don't know why, but he does!

They get themselves going pretty fast!

We bought some legos, their new obsession...they literally spend HOURS playing legos!

Snuggling Saileen's huge horse! 

They build all kinds of thing! They are getting very creative!!

This is the house they built, with rooms and couches and everything!

The front of their house!

Kenna loves to build cars!

We went to L. Bean Animal life museum and BYU. Here they are learning about hippos and they got to hold a real hippo tooth. It was HUGE!

MyKay loved the Liger and the tiger! This is the Liger.

I don't know if I ever realized how HUGE an elephant is!!

It wore them out!  It was a lot of fun!

Another day we went to the animal farm, Kaliah's FAVORITE!!!!

Even MyKay loves to ride the horses!

This girl is just in her element when she is on a horse!

Bk calls is a "heeee" he said this paticular horse was a "baby heee"

When we arrived a little girls ahead of us saw her and said to her mom "look mom, a real cow girl!"

We ride the horses so many times when we go!

One day, we would love to get a horse or have her working with horses somehow!!

Saileen also LOVES horses!

Kenna rode this tiny horse, it cracked me up to see her on such a tiny horse!

He likes to listen when the kids do their school work, but the earphones don't fit him, so this was our solution! It never ceases to make me laugh to see him like this!

Kenna got her braces on!!! This is right before she went in!

This was hilarious to see her like this!  It looks like she is doing a blow fish on a window!

Getting the brackets on!

Blue rubber bands!!!

Bk brings me this toy and says "Bapa Dawa" He loves loves loves Grandpas tractor!

They were covered with all of Mykay's blankets!

He just cracks me up and he is growing up so fast!

Saileen babysits Tony on Wednesdays and Mykay LOVES having his friend over!

They are like 2 pees in a pod!

They were loving playing on the piano together!

This boy, he is just so stinking cute!

Dad is the greatest horse! 

Mykay loves to "watch Bia" play her school work!

 School it going well, we are having a ton of fun and learning a lot each day, they also love to just play, they love to just play all these fun things together. I love it! They are such good kids!! I love having them around me every day!!!
