All she wants for Christmas

#3 finally came. She was hoping the other would be loose and be gone for Christmas too, but not the case. Oh well, one is good!

My brother the Ph.D

The title says it all. We went down to Pullman to see my brother become a doctor in soil science. Was pretty awesome and the kids did rather well, thanks to grandma who brought the over sized smarties :-) way to go Kyle!

Thanksgiving

We decided to head on down to Salem, OR for thanksgiving to see some of our best friends, the Shambaughs. On the way there we stopped in Portland to have dinner with Tyson's cousin, Kyle. While we are eating I get a call from my friend who is puking her guts out. So instead of going and getting exposed to the flu we stay at a hotel that night. We call them in the morning and everyone is fine but we wanted to give it the full 24 hours before we stepped foot in their house. In the meantime we went and visited with my aunt and uncle who we haven't see for a long time. We were also invited to some of our other best friends house for dinner. So we ended up having two thanksgiving dinners and thankfully no one got sick! The kids had a great time with their long lost friends. Lexi and Makenzie are only 5 days apart and were eachothers first friends.

We went to see Santa and did some black Friday shopping. We also went and saw the last twilight movie...yes the boys came too...even though they really wanted to see the new bond movie :-) such a fun trip!!! Wish I had more pictures!

Trip to Utah

Last month, Tyson and I were able to go to Utah for Carson's blessing and sealing. (thanks mom and dad for watching kids!) Tyson's brother, Devin and his wife Kaydee were able to adopt this cute little boy and took him to the temple to be sealed to them. It was so special. That was the first time i had been to a live sealing. What a special experience to all be in the temple and to witness this great event. Afterward the crowd gathered at the church for his baby blessing and a luncheon. We missed you Burn!

Sunday night we got together with old roommies and reminisced about the good old days, which is always a good time.  Sorry about the blurry picture.

We even got to squeeze in a fabulous dinner with our law school friends (Riddle's, Bohn's, and Northseth's), who just happened to be getting together for dinner the same night we were in town.  Coincidence? I think not!

How sweet is this picture???

Halloween

I just downloaded this blogger app! Most days my pictures are taken with my phone so this will be so handy.

We had a great Halloween! The kids were so cute! We took Coleson to about 5 houses and then we decided he was too slow, so Tyson took him home with him to pass out candy to all the 400 kids that came to our neighborhood! Yea you read that right, 400 kids! Apparently this neighborhood is prime location for trick or treating. My super heroes are the cutest...even super kangaroo!
