Gingerbread house night.............

So our annual tradition of gingerbread houses took place at my moms house the other night. We had pizza for dinner and then all the kids decorated a gingerbread house. The rest of the adults had to frost cookies!! It was so fun. The kids are getting so fun. Sage is so meticulous about her house and it is so fun to watch her. Hunter just wants to eat everything. Jade really enjoyed her sugar cookie. I love Christmas time!!

Snowmobiling!!!!!!!!!!!

We took the kids snowmobiling this last weekend. We went up to Daniels Summit. We gave the kids an early Christmas present, a little snowmobile. They had so much fun riding it. It will be fun this year! Jade even had a great time sitting in the snowmobile trailer!

Ricky's New Passion..........

Ricky got a new camera and wants to take pictures of everything. He took these of Jade before she went to bed. They turned out so cute! Anyone want their picture taken?

Festival of Trees!

Sage danced at the Festival of Trees! She is getting to be such a great dancer! She is soooo darn cute! It is so funny to watch the little kids dance! I just love it!

It snowed!!!

Sage and Hunter were so excited when it finally snowed and they could go play outside. All they wanted to do was eat the snow!! So they did! I just warned them not to eat any snow that wasn't white!! I guess winter is here! It is supposed to snow again in a couple of days! Fun stuff! Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Jade loves apples!!!

Jade was so cute the other day. She stole Sage's apple and wouldn't give it back. She loves sucking on them since she still has no teeth.

THE GARAGE!!

We have finally started building our garage in the back yard. (I say we very lightly because really I have done nothing but watch with much happiness). It is so exciting to finally have it started though and now Ricky has the bug to get it done! Yippee!! No more weeds back there!

MY JADE!

It is getting so close to Thanksgiving and I was just thinking about my many blessings. One of which is my little Jade. I swear that I just barely had her but now she is ten months old. It is crazy how fast this year flew by. I am so grateful that Jade is here in our family. I love her so much. Ricky calls her my golden child. How can you just not adore her though. These are a few pictures of her growing up so fast. When she was born, to her blessing, having the helmet and then to the cute little baby now sitting up and playing with toys. Jade still is not crawling however. But that is okay with me. I love you Jade!!

Halloween!!!

Halloween this year was so great! We had the chance to dress up on several different occasions. Hunter this year wanted to be a cowboy without a horse. Jade was a lady bug, the cutest one ever! And Sage was a witch again this year. Of course she wanted to be a nice witch. Ricky at the ward party! What a handsome devil!
Halloween party with the Webster's!
Sage got to dress up like a princess to go to dance. She loved it!
Trick or treating with some of the neighbors!!

Carving Pumpkins!!

We carved pumpkins this year at our neighbors house the Hogges! We had a great time and had great success with the pumpkins!

Florida in October!!

Again I had the wonderful opportunity to take the kids and go to Florida this year. I went with my mom and my Grandma Teeples. We went the second week in October. We had such a great time. We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and MGM Studios. We saw lots of things and completely wore out the kids! It is so fun to travel with my mom and grandma. They were such great helpers with the kids. Cinderella's castle at Magic Kingdom
Waiting for the fireworks to begin!
Waiting for the parade to begin at MGM!!
After eating at the Rainforest Cafe we got our picture taken with Winne the Pooh!!

Some of the Favorites!!!

So of course Hunter's favorite ride is the Merry-go-Round!! He just loves the horses so much! We had to go on it a few times!! Jade loved going down the slide at our condo!! What a cutie!
Sage of course still loves the princesses! This is her favorite princess! Sleeping beauty!

Yellowstone!!!

This year again we went to Yellowstone!! It is one of our favorite family vacations. We love going and seeing the animals and just being out in the amazing fall weather.

We had so much fun this year! We even saw a grizzly bear!!
