Family Picture Time

 Today we braved the bitter cold (34 degrees) to get some family pictures taken for both our home and Christmas card. My sister was our photographer and did a great job, after we were all done she let us all know that she was never going to have 3 kids :). The kids really did great for how freezing it was. We all left our coats on, so my fussing over what everyone was going to wear really didn't matter. We took the pictures at Union Station, which is also the place were Jared and I originally met, so I guess it has some significance. Out of about 200-300 pictures these were what I chose to be the winning shots, although the others certainly were amusing. I edited these in ipiccy if you are curious but I am not an expert at these things so if I've done it all wrong I wouldn't be suprised.

I have a happy baby

This is such a funny video, I love it when babies laugh and Beckam is finding his voice and its too cute.

I have so much that I want to share with you as far as projects that I've done or have been working on, but it is gonna take forever for me to post it all. For those of you who aren't friends of mine on facebook and are curious as to what my new place looks like I'll start with just adding a before and after picture update of the "new" place.

whats happened- a picture update

 This summer we bought a very fine swimming pool for the kids to cool off in and they loved it.

 The kids being bored in our dessert of a backyard found some "sand" to keep them busy until we finally installed a real sand box. They would need baths multiple times a day because of their discovered sand box and you can see why.

 I actually let them paint with their finger paints, this is picture proof.

 We went to the peach day parades, Konnor took a nasty spill about a week before and this a remnant of his facial damage. He loved the parades, he makes the little things so enjoyable because he is always so excited and says such silly things.

 Our place for the peach day parade, such a pretty backdrop, for the longest parade I have ever attended. We left when there were still 23 more entries to go!

 Me and the kids visited the cabin, my mom really didn't want to be in the picture, I guess that I'll have to be more sneaky next time.

 Blake helped Konnor shoot the BB gun while we were up there, Konnor thought that was really cool.

 Makayla turned 5 and the Monday before her birthday we went as a family to color-me-mine where she painted a ceramic princess, and Konnor painted a lady bug bank that he picked out.

 Birthday Girl!

 My first attempt at frosting a cake with homemade fondant, she loved her cake!

 We had a tea party in place of breakfast for Makayla's birthday, the kids thought it was neat.

 We celebrated further by attending Box Elder County Fair.

and that is what has happened in the past 2 months that I hadn't shared yet.
