Thanksgiving

We had such a great time in Logan for Thanksgiving. We ate at Kent and Loralee's and dinner was delicious! We hung out there for a while and then decided to go to the hotel and get checked in. After getting the kids settled the girls decided to hit up Walmart for some Black Friday shopping. I have not laughed so hard in a long time! We had a blast with all the craziness. We had a cart of stuff at Walmart and when we got in the check out line it was at least an hour and a half wait. We ditched the cart and bailed. We went to Shopko and the lines were even worse. We all decided that Black Friday is not for us!

 Friday morning we went down to the pool instead of going back to the stores! :-) The kids were so excited to be going swimming! Avri is a fish and loved every minute of it. Macall sat on the edge just like she did all summer long. The boys were brave and swam all over the pool and even went under.

 This little girl loves her Papa. She is always right by him.

After lunch we went to see Wreck it Ralph. We only had to go to the bathroom 3 times. But the movie was good and the kids had fun!

 After the movie we went to our all time favorite place to shop...Hobby Lobby! The kids were wild as usual and Taylor fell in love with the darn animals. When we were done shopping he gave Grandma those big puppy dog eyes and told her "I really just love the wolf". Grandma ended up buying each of the kids a cute animal. Thanks Grandma!! They haven't put the animals down since we got them.

 This week is Dad's birthday so we had a little party for him. Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you tons!

 Thanks again Mom and Dad for the fun weekend!

YAY!

Thanks to some helpers I don't have to trade blogs! All you have to do is delete! I can do that! So as I am getting things in order here is a cute picture of Mr Taylor. He put his pencil behind his ear while he was doing his homework!

The boys go through phases of toys. This week they have been into their Legos again. We also fixed their Super Spy house and they have been loving it!! 

 On Saturday night we watched "Arthur Christmas" and had popcorn. No better way to spend a Saturday night!

 The boys have always loved Justin's starting lineup collection. They play mostly with the football guys but since basketball season has started they decided to get out the basketball guys. They made this court and everything! Clever boys!

Our first snow storm!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my girls! We started the day off right with donuts from Harmons. 

 Then we opened a few presents

And then we got to go downstairs to see our BIG present! They love the vanities and really are little princesses.

 That night we had a party with Grandma Merrill and the Holverson's. We had cake and ice cream and opened presents. They were SPOILED and loved every minute of it!!

  Happy Birthday to you!!!

 Macall didn't wait for anyone else! She jumped right into her cake! Good thing I made cupcakes too!!

 These two wanted their pictures take too!

  As soon as I decided to do a princess theme for the girls birthday I knew I had to make them princess cakes. I remember my Grandma Kiesling made me one for my 8th birthday and I loved it!

Up close picture of the cakes. I think they turned out so cute!

Taylor man lost his first tooth on Saturday  November 2. It has been loose for a while but he wouldn't wiggle it or let me. He was out play football with Dad and Uncle Clark. The football hit is face and out came the tooth. Way to be so brave T!!!

my girls are 3!

 To my beautiful baby girls,

I think I've said it before but I'll keep saying it as long as I live. You two give me a run for my money every day! You have so much personality and so much energy. This year has been a hard one for us. You wanted to do things your way or not at all. You are very persistent in all that you do but we are finally starting to understand one another. You are gaining patients and understanding the things we tell you. Thank goodness. You are so big! Always wanting to do what your brothers are doing. You never want to miss out. You are both pretty as can be. How did we get so lucky to have you as ours? At age 3 you love to play dress up, play princess, eat fruit snacks and any other junk you can get your hands on, play with brothers, ride bikes and scooters, go to preschool, sing the ABC song, Soft Kitty, Little Playmate and Babes, color on walls (Macall), color in coloring books, play phones and ipads, watch any princess movie (Your favorites are Belle, Cinderella, Tangled, and Tinkerbell). You love to watch Mickey Mouse Club House and ask for it whenever we turn on cartoons. I could go on forever about the things we love about you girls! You are such a delight in our home and have taught us so much! We love you baby girls (p.s. you HATE being called "baby". You are big girls) Love you!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
