We put Connor in Danika's little chair. He thought that he was such a big boy sitting there. It is funny to see him laugh. He was having such a good time.

Christmas Tree

We put up our christmas tree. Every year I like to decorate our tree different. Kaden and Erik are putting on our new oranments.

Danika is putting the ornaments on the back of the tree.

Here is Erik.

Danika and Kaden were having fun putting them on.

Connor is helping Kaden and Danika put the hooks on the new ornaments.

Kaden's report

Today Kaden did his first report on Argentina. He did a really good job. You could tell he was a little nervous about doing it. He had a laser pen that he used to point at the pictures. We also had a huge map of the world. He used it to show where Argentina was on the map. It turned out really good. We are proud of him.

Connor was crying so I decided to put connor in the basket and push him around. Kaden wanted a turn to push him.

Trunk or Treat

Our ward had a Trunk or Treat. We lined up our cars and Everyone went from car to car. The kids were having so much fun. Kaden, Danika, and Preston are getting their candy from Cleopatra (Shelly).

Cousin Halloween Party

Every year we have a cousin halloween party. Here is what we have: Everyone dresses up, a dinner, games, and Haunted house. The Haunted house that we had was the best one we have had. Thomas and Allan were incharge of it. We were having so much fun.

Swimming fun

Another thing we did for UEA weekend we went to the Lehi swimming pool. Here is kaden trying to avoid me taking his picture.

Look at Connor, Elise, and Chelsey sucking on their thumbs.

Fun at the Children's Museum

Mya and Kaden are pretending that they are Mary and Joseph but instead of holding a baby they are holding a Lamb.

We parked at the Grand America Hotel so that we could let the kids ride the Amtracks. They thought that it was so cool that they could ride backwards.
Danika went straight to the dolls. I tryed to have her go play with the other stuff but she did not want to leave the baby's.

We decided that we would go to IKEA to have our lunch. They had these little table and Chairs for the kids to sit on and watch a movie. We had the Sweedish meatballs.

We had such a fun UEA weekend. We had a late night. We were watching Hocus Pocus but it was scarring the kids so we had to pick a different movie. Instead we watched Little Rascals (the new one).

ScareCrow Lane

My Grandparents gave my mom and dad this book called Outstanding in the Fields. It is a book of ScareCrows in Nova Scotia. My ancestors come from Nova Scotia so my dad thought that his brothers and Sisters should make some ScareCrows for my Grandparents. So they decided to put them on their drive way. So we named it ScareCrow Lane.

Pumpkin patch

We had to go to a different pumpkin patch this year. The one we usually go to had a sign up and it read "Do to the deer we have no pumpkins." We found another pumpkin patch. The kids were still able to pick the pumpkin out that they wanted. They were having so much fun. Here is Kaden and Danika's pumpkin that they picked.

I am holding Connor and his pumpkin. This year is Connor's first Halloween and pumpkin.

Here is Preston, Gavin, Tyson, Bryson, Danika, Kaden, and Connor. They were climbing on the bails of hay. They were having so much fun.

I like to take lots of pictures because I love to scrapbook the pictures. I want to get the kids picture buy the pumpkins.

Kaden soccer

Here is kaden;s soccer team. He had so much fun playing soccer. They won every game that they played. It was fun to watch how much kaden is learning.

Soccer practice

Thomas wanted to show Kaden and Bryson how to kick the soccer ball the correct way. He put our ski poles in the ground so they could use them instead of cone's.

Kade is going around the poles.

Here is Bryson going around the poles.

USA Scrapbook Expo

On September 20, 2008 I went to the scrapbook expo with Mary, Charlette, and Debbie. We had so much fun. We made a punch of card and went shopping.
