New Mexico

So, apparently I lied. I thought we didn't have any pictures of our fun trip to New Mexico for Macy's wedding. But, apparently Greg had them all on his phone! Oops!  What a fun trip this was!

Here is Greg with the happy couple!  Macy and Cody Moon!  So darling!!

November Happenings!

Enjoying a VERY WARM Veterans Day at the park with Emma's BFF Jane. Seriously though. It was in the 90's which is very warm to be wandering the park pushing a 1,000 pound double stroller.

In mid-November we went to New Mexico to attend the wedding reception of Greg's cousin Macy.  It was so nice to spend time with the Sherwood clan.  We love them so much!!  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the bride and groom because I was with the kids all night - but just know we had a blast!!  Emma loved riding the horse!  But, Grant would have nothing to do with it!

Grant is passed out at 7pm from a very long day!!  This guy must be super tired because he NEVER does this!!  Darling!!

Here we are trying to make uncle Jeff jealous that we are eating Aunt Tamie's famous cake! :)

All you do is rain boots and a diaper… right?

We actually got some RAIN in Arizona!!  Crazy, right?  The kids LOVED it!!  And Grant sang ALL day… it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring.  haha.  At least he was finally able to wear his rain boots when it was actually raining.  He LOVES wearing them, but 99.9% percent of the time, they are not being used during rain.

The primary did a cute program for the Emeritus Assisted Living Facility that it is in our neighborhood. Emma and I played a violin duet of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody".  She played so well.  I am really proud of her!!

When it's time to read books, why not just read in the buff?  I walked into my bedroom and Grant was perched on my bed like this.  Cutie Pie.

A few more Halloween pics...

Found a few more Halloween pic while sorting through iPhoto today!

The kids enjoyed mummy cereal for breakfast.

This is what happens when I ask the kids to make their scariest mummy face…

Kasyn dressed up like Tonto for Halloween!  Isn't that makeup awesome??

Tatytum as the main girl from Teen Beach Movie.  Never seen it, bit she sure looked cute! :)

Halloween also happens to be Linda's birthday… so we celebrated her birthday on Halloween night as well!!

These boys are so cute together.  Just love them.

Little Taylee as an alien from Toy Story.

Passing out the candy!!

Casa Grande Triathlon - November 2013

I completed another triathlon the first weekend of November.  It was in Casa Grande.  And I trained and did the race with Bonnie Wiscome.

They really are so fun to train for and compete in!

Cutest little cheering section in town!!

Halloween Fun!

We had a great time at Halloween!!

Emma wanted to be Jasmine and Grant a triceratops.

We spray painted Emma's hair black and she was THRILLED with this.  She just loved changing her hair color.

JJ and Zac joined us at our ward Halloween trunk r treat.

This is the kids sorting through their candy… I totally remember doing this as a kid! :)

Having fun with Emma's hair one morning before church.  She has the best hair to play with!!  And she loves to look pretty and doesn't mind me doing it.

Our annual pumpkin carving party with the Lorenzens.

The kids wanted to make a fort and paint it - with Grant's new bedroom furniture box

Halloween day!  Emma all ready for school!

Playing with our Halloween stuff that Jamie and Gina mailed us!

Trick or treating night.  Emma just LOVED passing out the candy before and after we wandered the neighborhood.

Kurt, Tara and Teagan.

Emma took a list of all the kids that came to our door for candy.  haha.  I just love her spelling.

The day after Halloween her school had a book parade where she dressed up as Pocahontas.

Here she is with her friends Lilliana (pink) and Delaney (green).  She just loves the girls and I am so happy she has found some wonderful friends.
