Silly Faces

We were eating out as a family and in there booklet they had some pages with silly faces. The kids were busting it up.

Halloween

The month of October was a crazy month with moving and selling our house but we still had a fun Halloween. We did a few crafts, including having a few of Tanner's friends over for a play date and they all wore their costumes. At the school they had a kite flying competition, you had to make your own kite out of recyclable items. Poor Ella only had her mom to help her since her dad was in DC for work. Lets just say it didn't fly so well. Next time her dad will help her. We also went to our ward trunk-or-treat and Dave got back on Halloween so he took them around the neighborhood since I had done most of the Halloween activities solo. They all came home with a lot of candy and were stuffing their faces.

Visiting with Nancy and Marshall

Nancy and Marshall came to mom's for a visit and we were able to spend a few days with them. Marshall dressed them up in some of his jerserys for a football game.
Soffie fought sleep really hard and so when she finally fell asleep she just looked so funny.

Rosalind Franklin

Ella and a few other girls got chosen out of the second grade to be in a skit about Rosalind Franklin, whom their school is named after. Rosalind Franklin was a women scientist who had to overcome a lot as a women in her field. They did the skit at the dedication of the school in front of about 1000 people, including a lot of administrative people. All the girls did great and Ella was adorable in the skit. Her teacher partly picked her because she is very expressive and dramatic. She play it up quite well.

Last Night

Our last night in our house we watched a movie and had popcorn and soda. It was a good last night in our sweet house.

Bill's Berry Farm

This year we tried a different pumpkin patch and we were not disappointed, unfortunatley I didn't take very many pictures. They had a couple of corn mazes, hay pyramid, caramel apples, make apple cider, tire swing, train, pumpkin donuts, and more. The kids had a blast, we will be going again.

Tired

Soffie just loved to fight naps before she was even two.

Change

Well, when I got pregnant with our last baby we decided to put moving on hold for a while because I didn't want to move pregnant or with a new baby. An opportunity arose for us to move out of town and get a little more land. The neighborhood was great. We decided to look into it. Everything just kind of fell into place and we sold our house in a week. It was all very crazy but felt like it was the right thing for our family.

Hair Accessories

One night I sent the kids in to brush their teeth, they got a bit distracted with decorating Soffie.

4th and final baby

We got surprised with our 4th baby. It took me a little while to get used to the idea but we are all excited. We found out that we are having another girl and we sure love our girls so we are excited.

Summer Boating

We really did have a great Summer of boating. I didn't take a lot of pictures but we went with a lot of different family and friends. The kids love the boat. Soffie even went kneeboarding this year, Dave was hanging on to the back when she did. It has definitely been a great investment for our family and we love spending time together as a family.
