It has taken us a year to go and do a family photo. But I was so happy with how they have turned out. We went to wheeler farm for like an hour in a half and just took shots everywhere and yes by the end the kids were just done! But I really love some of these shots, especially some of the kids. If you every need an affordable photographer go to http://www.panoramawayphotography.blogspot.com/ she was awesome to work with! Thanks Kymberli we love them
Happy Halloween:)
Our little Flower
Ninja turtle "mikey"
Hannah Montana stopped by for a visit. Such a little diva!
There has been a lot of fun activities around here for the kids to do that helps us get in the mood for Halloween. We went to a pumpkin patch and let the kids pick out their own pumpkins to paint (which of course I forget to take pictures of). Then last weekend we took the kids, my sister and mom came too, and we went to thanksgiving point for a day of fun and exhaustion! There was so much to do the kids did not know where to start, from pony rides to hay ride, bounce houses, face painting, games, a juggler, which Kolby got upon stage with him and help with part of the act lots of food! Needless to say we had a very fun day!
Mckaela loves to wear this hat of mine so when her school was having a hat day she knew just which one she would wear. My little diva at six!
Our little climber these days. She climbed up the tube to get into the sink.
and loves to find hiding places too.
Brendan had a field trip to wheeler farm last week. They fed the ducks saw all kinds of animals and even got a good whiff of how a farm really smells. ( I thought I was going to be sick) but we had a great time! He really has loved preschool this year and miss Gina.
Here are a few more from his field trip. (the cow was also smiling for his picture) Also we did go to the state fair and I never posted pictures. The kids had a lot of fun!
So I have been wanting to go back to my natural color for awhile but get a little nervous because with each kid it seems to get darker. But I finally took the plunge and I actually really like it. It's nice to have a change and since I am not ready to cut it yet, adding a new color will really give me a new look.
Before
After
Ryan has himself a new wife(I like to spice things up a little bit)
Brendan has started Karate and he is loving it. It is so good for him to have to OBEY the master. It was so cute the first time he got the outfit on and started pushing away. He is in a class with about eight other kids but he really is having fun with this. I do feel like I am running everywhere once the kids get out of school, going from dance to karate to piano to play dates, but I guess that is what we moms are suppose to do! At least they are having some fun!
So news about the house! We have decided to not head to Farmington. I can't tell you how HAPPY my mom and sister are, sorry Tamra! We have really been talking about the commute Ryan would have to be making everyday to work and in six months he will be moving the dealership further south which would then add even more time, he is away enough as it is so we new this would be the best thing for our family to not head the opposite direction of his work. We really are sad because we really LOVED this house. I know something else will work out but for now the looking starts all over.
I can't believe our Little girl is ONE! This last year has gone by so fast. Over labor day I was thinking how we had spent it last year, in the hospital. And now here she is celebrating her first birthday. We had family over and had a BBQ in the back yard, this is the first birthday party I can through and have it be out side. Mckaela and Brendan are both winter babies. We had a lot of fun sharing this day with her. For those of you who live in Cali, I have posted a lot of pictures so you feel like you were here. We miss you! 
The birthday girl.
