The Christmas with the Walkie Talkies

We had a great December. We enjoyed Tyler's preschool Christmas program. He sang so loud and was so happy, I was a little surprised, but loved watching him. 

We had a ward Christmas breakfast party, the primary sang and both Tyler and Amelia decided they needed to be up on stage. Amelia followed Ella around most of the time.

Treglown Christmas party was a hit, so fun to see everyone. Amelia LOVED baby violet.

I told the boys we could build a fort during the break and leave it up for a bit. They quite enjoyed that.

Sam woke up at 6 Christmas morning, and we woke the other 2 up at 6:30. Amelia wasn't too pleased about being woken up until she saw her toy. The boys were so excited about everything, especially the walkie talkies which they'd asked for for months. It was a great Christmas. :)

The nintendo switch was certainly a big hit. 

Spent Christmas afternoon at G&G Marble's house with some cousins.

Travis & I celebrated our 7th anniversary. We just went out to eat at Calloways and then went to the Pulse office and started some paint by numbers.

Love this little girl and her growing personality. :)

Almost Christmas

Oh my word. These 3 are the cutest. They are my greatest joy and they light up my world. I'm so glad they're mine. They also are very good at pulling faces during photos. :) They were good sports letting me get these photos this year. Amelia actually did the best...

She is one loved little girl.

These two have become the best of friends. I absolutely adore listening to them play together. Their imaginations run wild.

She's becoming quite the wild one. Love her.

Sam has loved writing lately. He wrote some Christmas cards and taped them to some presents under the tree.

Last month we spent the last few warm days outside and at the park.

We stayed at my parent's house for a night so I could participate in another handball tournament in Salt Lake.

Saw Frozen 2 with the boys the day before thanksgiving and we all enjoyed it. We've also been watching lots of Christmas movies at home. Amelia is obsessed with books, Travis went all out on the lights this year and our house is so festive inside.

Loved playing in the snow at my parent's house on Thanksgiving.

We went to the Center Street grand reveal thing in downtown Logan where Santa and Elsa both appeared. The boys wouldn't go near Elsa & Anna, and they barely spoke to Santa. Amelia was not happy about Santa at all. 

These boys love play outside, and Amelia is always anxious to join them. She really likes playing with the big kids.

Halloween 2019

The boys chose to dress as Spiderman this year, due to their love of the movie "Spiderman: Into the spider verse." They don't even know who Spiderman really is. :) Tyler calls Peter Parker the "big kid spiderman." We dressed Amelia as the TARDIS from Doctor Who, because we had the outfit. And she's adorable.

The kids had been so excited for Halloween for so long, and they certainly enjoyed it. They both had parties at school. I got to go watch Sam in his little parade. They got to trick or treat at Travis' work and we went to see Grandma Marble at her office as well.
Then we endured the cold for a little bit as we went trick or treating around the neighborhood, skipping any house that had a hint of no one being home. Tyler wanted to go home after 10 houses, but he trucked on and they had quite the haul.

Earlier this month we took the kids to a corn maze. Despite how grumpy most of us were on the way there, we all had a good time. The boys especially loved the pile of haystacks to play on. 

Sam got school pictures, and colored his hair green for crazy hair day.

Google photos made us a then and now, and we think Tyler looks older then, with his long hair. :)
Also, i love their eyes. But Tyler's are lightening so much, so quickly.

Travis' side business was a finalist in a innovative competition down in Salt Lake, so we all went down and ended up going out to dinner, because their food was lousy. But it was fun.

Baby's first ponytail! She's so cute.

Yoga with the kids, Amelia loves laying in Sam's bed and having friends read to her. Tyler's angry eyes caught on camera, and the boys playing in the first snow.

Cute cousins. Also, Tyler accidentally smashed baby's fingers real good in the hinge of the door...
