Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving break, kids are not required to do school, and what do they do....hold school! Ha ha! 

They put on "school" for the little 2 and they loved every second! 

They made a Thanksgiving turkey out of paper. They had so much fun being taught by their sisters! 

Here are their awesome creations! 

Saileen and Mykenna made people out of Uno cards....pretty creative! 

Thanksgiving at the kids table! 

They boys cutting the meat! 

Then we played a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos but with people and skateboards! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Early November

They love to snuggle when I go to work out on Tuesday mornings. I love when they love each other! 

Derek built me a shoe shelf in my closet! I cannot tell you how much I LOVE THIS!!

It is on the right side of the closet and it literally takes up the whole wall on that side!

there are different sizes for boots as opposed to tennis shoes and dress shoes. 

I had so many shoes it is full!!! Yehaw!! I can see all my shoes!!! Happy day!! And now my closet floor is always clean!!!
Big thanks to my love!!!  

Sunday afternoons are a great time to nap ;-) Even if you are laying in a pile! 

Or take silly pictures!! 

And even sillier pictures! 

And more people join the fun! Sundays are the best!! 

We went to the Museum of natural history. It was really fun! We got to go behind the scenes and see all the stuff in the back! 

The got to see lots of cool gems and crystals

They enjoyed learning how they are formed and what they are made of. Interesting stuff!

These were really cool! naturally formed gems, like they just came right out of the ground! 

Lots of colors and cool shapes! 

The wolf statue was pretty crazy! glad it wasn't real! 

Lots of things to see! 

Seriously huge Dino bones! 

Right after the museum we went bowling with my family for my moms birthday. Let me just say I am a terrible bowler!!!

Some people did really well!! 

Some people went and played lazer tag after the first game. Fun was had by all! 

I spent several hours with this girl making this school room! It turned out great! 

Derek has been building more american ninja worrior stuff in the garage. He is being a ANW before ya know it! 

Kenna and Saileen made these out of Uno cards. Pretty creative!

Derek came home from the elders quorum football game with this in his had....

Its part of his TOOTH!!!  WHAT!!!

We spent most of Saturday at the dentist getting it looked at and then Tuesday we will go back to get them fixed. Gotta love football!!  NOT!!! It could have been a lot worse! I am just glad he wasn't hurt!
Thanksgiving is this week!!!  Can't believe we are here already!!!

October Fun times!

Saileen is taking Photography classes and loves it, as you can tell, she is making good use out of her camera! Now THAT is a selfie! HA ha!

He loves his daddy! 

When you fell like sitting in a box, I guess you gotta do, what you gotta do!! 

We had Becky Emro and her family come by and hang out! They had lots of fun! 3rd Generation of friends! Becky and I are good friends and our mothers, Lori and Rose were best friends! Friendship lasting 3 generations! 

Bk and Daddy being super heros! 

Another school day.....Still loving the table! 

Saileen learned how to mow the lawn. It is hard, but she loves it! 

We made some super hero masks! They they pretty cool

I think it made him run faster and jump higher! 

Derek got the warped wall for his birthday! He loves it! 

Kaliah earned a horse snuggle! 

Bk makes funny faces at himself while shopping with mom and the girls

What ever keeps you busy little guy!! 

We were rearranging rooms and I put Bia in charge of playing with him....this is what she did. Oh dear! 

This is Kennas new room. It was the studio.

This is now the school room, which was Kaliahs old room. She is now down in the big room with Jo jo! 

Holloween came and went. Saileen was a lazy person, which was just and excuse to stay in her pj's I think! 

They had a recognition night with activity days and they each got to display what they like to do. 

Everyone wanted to play with Jo jo's barbie store...it was a hit! 

Kenna had her favorite things...including her robots which were a hit and her monkey's 

All the girls loved showing what they love to do! Great evening! 

Derek turned 35! Cute as ever! We went out to lunch and he got a hair cut!

pizzaria lemon! Yumm!

We had good time together and Saileen was babysitting at home!!  Yehaw!! 

Saileen took some pix with her camera...

Catching everyone by suprise

 October was a fun month! Derek had a good birthday and school is going on as usual. We are getting more excited for the holidays! Christmas shopping is well underway! Can't wait!!
