Lots Of Family Fun for Thanksgiving!

Wendy and Crystals family both came to town for about 9 days! We had so much fun having them hear.

Our first night together landed on Wendys actual birthday so we made a girls night out of it!

We stayed home and made homemade pizza and played games and TALKED!

 That was a late night and an early morning so the Tippetts slept over. The kids playing in the rain the next morning as we were getting ready.

 My cousin got married at my parents 11/23/13   > Which also was the BIG sanders thanksgiving. Too bad it was cold and rainy. Still was gorgeous

 My grandma makes quilts for all the newlyweds. Pete and I did things "different" haha so Grandma gave me mine now that had been in her closet. LOVE IT GRANDMA!

 The girls tried to plan individual time with the family so we had more one on one time. Wendy and Crystal families both came over Monday night for dinner. Wednys kids had my 3 kids for Chirstmas so my kids got lucky and got to open theirs then.

 Wednesday We went to Dinner at Macayos with Crystal and Ryan and Aubree

 Thanksgiving we headed to sloan to shoot. Love me some sheet shooting. Only part of the family was able to come for this.

 Back at the house on Thanksgiving was with the Dulaney family. Yummy food and gorgeous weather for some outdoor riding fun!

 That night half the family snuck out for Black Firday shopping. I stayed back while Pete had so much fun!! These kiddos dropped like flies. haha

We had fun while it lasted and cant wait for next time!!

Miss you guys already!

Tomato Man!

Rylan was a Tomato Delivery man in his class play yesterday at school.

Something about watching your kid do things like this make any mom smile from ear to ear!

I loved seeing my cute guy shine!

He had about 6 lines.

Multiple times shouting out

"I have tomatoes to deliver"

Ladybugs End of Season

 

Kadence officially had her last Ladybugs soccer game. She had fun with it but she was glad it came to an end. I do have to admit, she started doing a little better at hustling and getting in the a little better. However, I still think this girl would be better in dance or gymnastics. Well see!!

And... what she had been talking about before soccer even began. Shes so proud ot have a trophy just like her brothers!

Rylan made Kadence a pink ninja turle mask. Rylan has gotten back into ninja turles over the past few weeks.

Kadence having a "brain freeze" while eating her ice cream.  Shes such a drama faker. haha

We were all thrown off by the time change but Jaiden already has weird hours. (Hes a 5a-7:30 pm on average kinda kid)   He was in bed by 6:15 and up at 4am.  G;ad hes not a toddler and it hardly effected my sleep.

November in Vegas is AMAZING!! Can it stay this way forever?   TOpless on the tramp

Seriously Christmas list in the making.  (Again, the naked child..normal)

Celestial invited us to come spend the night Friday night.  Its sad what a 45 min drive does to us. We don't hang out much these days.  Anyways... The fam packed it up and headed over.  The kids did Jacuzzi.  Once the kids fell asleep Pete and Brandon went to put on a movie. Celestial and I said well be up in a minute. We talked and talked. We could hear them laughing.  Then before we knew it they came out with grins on their faces "so .. you guys wanna watch the next one"

haha..we talked to entire movie. Whoops!!

Early morning fun.

Midnight bedtime and 5am wakeup time leads to sleepy kids.
Kadence does NOT take naps on the weekend. Guess she was pooped!

Skater Boy

 

Jaiden is on a kick. A skate park kick. We don't live very close to any skate parks so we don't go near as often as hed like. But were working about once a week in.  Jai preffers a bike (which he doenst havea working one right now so uses Rylans) and Rylan preffers a Razer.

Desert Breeze has a small slope part so Kadence got in on the action.

The park by South Point.. does not. So she was grumpy until I convinced her the boys like to climb trees and she can do that while the boys ride.

Braggin up my boy

I don't brag up Rylan enough ;)

 

 

Rylan is seriously such a blessing in my life. This boy just makes his mama Proud. Jaiden and Kadence have such dominant personalities that sometimes I think this sweet boy just goes along for the ride.

Hes sweet, hes easy going, he happy, hes smart, he loves to learn. He loves his mama time.

 

Seriously ..why is hes so easy!!

 

Rylan came home with a Student of the month award for October!! I was so surprised. WHY ?? honestly, hes awesome. and obviously his teacher thinks so too!

 

 

 

Rylan will let him tooth dangle be a sting before he pulls it out. I was concerned about his first tooth because I could see the tooth underneath trying to come out and didn't want it to come in crooked. Soo. I convinced him to let me pop it out (It was pretty dang loose.. remember, he waits forever)

 

Then he had 2 more very loose. I tiny bottom tooth. Which again I pooped out with ease. The other top tooth was literally started to hide (it was bent half way back into his mouth) :/   But because of that it kinda tightend back up. I tried to pull that one to the same night but didn't want to be too brutal so left him to wiggle it more over the next few days.

The next day to boys come home with Rys tooth in a tooth box from school.  THe COOLER part. ..Ry let Jai pull it for him.   Pretty trusting kid. Haha

a few nights ago rylan decided to write a book> yep, hes that awesome. Here he is laying in my bed writtting it up.

Yesterday during homework enjoying a "pumplin steamer"  (Warm milk with pumpkin spice people normally put in there coffee)

Seriously Ry, your one special kid and I don't know what id do without your sweet spirit in my home. You make me tuck you in every single night and It might be my favorite part of my day! I love you to pieces and hope the world for you little guy!

Love your proud mama!!

Happy Halloween

100 Years Of Scouting

Pete & I were called to be Cub Scout leaders about 2 months ago. Weve had fun going and teaching Jaidens age. Rylan and Kadence get to tag along to so they love it.

 

This last Saturday I got to go to the 100 years of Scouting Event. Ive never seen sooo many scouts ever!

They had tons of stations for the boys to do and pass off things in there books. We were there for 8a till 4pm. A long day but Jaiden had fun and I had fun watching him.

 

Our awesome crew ..

from left to right

Jacari, Jordan, Justice, Jaiden, Ethan, Jonas, Landon, Wyatt, and Blake

 

 

 

Jaiden had lots of fun with his friends. When I came home Pete said Rylan, you get to go next year.   He didn't realize this was for 100 years. Not an annual thing :(
