Dance Recital

Reagan had her 3rd Dance Recital tonight and did really good! It's amazing to see how far she's came since she started about 1.5 years ago. She has been looking forward to her recital since Dance started in September.

Reagan was so happy that Brentlee was able to come watch her recital. Thanks for coming!!

Aunt Katie was too busy to take some cute pics for us outside this time :) 

10 months

I usually remember to post a picture on Instagram or Facebook and it helps me remember what he was doing at that age but I totally forgot this time! :( And apparently I didn't take many pictures...darn it!

this boy LOVES to eat! 

Brian took Reagan and Bryson somewhere(I can't remember where!) so this handsome guy was my dinner date

Santa at Harley Davidson and he didn't cry! Yippee!

It doesn't happen very often so when he falls asleep in my arms I just sit there and soak it all in. It was glorious!!

he loves to swing! Especially when he's tired like right now

And I have a feeling that he will be walking before too long! Maybe Santa shouldn't bring him a walker for Christmas ;)

I put him in the basket and he was happy and content for a good 20 minutes just playing in there. It was great! 

This is Bryson when he was 1 and I think Carson is looking a lot like him! 

Halloween

So I have this set to post on Halloween but I'm definitely not typing this on Halloween. It may or may not be January 2014.....oops!

I really wanted all the kids to match this year and I couldn't decide between Toy Story characters and Superheros. I made the decision to have them be Superheros. Reagan was Super Girl, Bryson was Ironman and Carson was the Hulk. It was fun to have them match and they loved their costumes!

 Our Ward had a Halloween Party and the kids had a blast! We had chili for dinner, all sorts of games in gym and Trunk-or-treating outside. They came home with way more candy than needed! Anybody want some? ;)

Bryson won the cupcake walk and he picked this tiny little thing and didn't even eat it all! 

He was so tired

Trunk-or-Treat

Reagan was in love with this bird(Macaw). 

They had fun and mommy and daddy were wore out! 

Can't forget about pumpkin carving!! The kids were very excited to care a pumpkin but said that Daddy had to get all the yucky guts out. Eventually they were both playing in the guts and loving it! I let Brian and the kids clean it out and then I carved the face. Reagan and Bryson really wanted to draw circles all over the pumpkin for some reason and were very excited to see it finished!

Carson enjoyed tasting whatever was dropped on the floor

Bryson helped pick out all the seeds so we could roast them(which we never ended up doing!)

All done! 

Reagan's school had a Halloween Party and Costume Parade. It was fun to watch the Parade and see all the different costumes. Bryson would point out every superhero costume that he saw. And there were a lot! At the Halloween Party they had a Haunted House. Brian took the kids through and the didn't care for it too much. They are like their momma and don't like scary things! :)

Reagan wanted to be Cinderella today.

Brian offered to stay home and pass out candy with Carson while I took Reagan and Bryson trick or treating. We went over to Taylor Ranch in hopes we would see people we know but we only saw a couple people from a distance. It was quite nice just being us 3 and we made it quick! We also had to run by GGs so the kids could get their special treats from her. 

They were so excited to get glow sticks! 

Carson enjoyed their candy stash too!

Happy 5th Birthday, Reagan!!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE PRINCESS, REAGAN!! 

It's hard to think that 5 years ago we became parents to this sweet little girl. She was due Oct 16 and decided to make her appearance on Oct 22 at 11:50 pm. It's fun to see how much she has changed!

And of course we celebrated with Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! And Reagan got to pick dinner so we had her favorite Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, yummy!! Reagan started Kindergarten this year and is loving it! She is one of the top kids in her class and is the youngest. She is still doing ballet and still loving it! She keeps  busy with homework, loves to draw, dance, helping clean and of course has to pick on Bryson ;). We can't wait to see what this next year has in store for her and our family!! 

State Fair

While mom was here, we decided to go to the Arizona State Fair. We have lived down here for 3 years and this was our 1st time. The kids were so excited when we drove up and they could see all the rides. We all have a great time walking around, going on rides, eating fatty food and just enjoying being outside! It was much warmer than we expected so we had some rosy cheeks by the end but no one was sun-burnt! We will definitely go back!
