Suprise!

Suprise Mom! Just thought the freezer looked like a crib. Glad we solved the mystery of the missing blankie!

Suprise Mom! Thought the floor could use a little freshening up with cinnamon!

Suprise Mom! I found a much better place to keep the q-tips! Right on the mirror! And we only need half of one.

Suprise! You thought I ate my pancakes this morning, but I was just saving it under my bed for my midnight snack!

Cheers! Happy Thanksgiving 2012.

Turkey Bowl 2012: Mohawks, white t-bird jerseys, nephews shirtless haka, John 3:16, tears, blood and lo-lo breaking it down. Another great year.

"If every night was a night to go trick-or-treat, wouldn't it be sweet?" -Garfield

                                                    Pumpkin carving at Grandma and Papa's

    We start the Halloween season with Max's Birthday. 7:30 am opening of presents in p's.

Max had a sweet birthday party with blueberry muffins, John Bytheway cd's and laser tag at Nickelcave!

           Grandma's Eyeball Soup!!!! Ummm... A couple people in our family aren't fans.

     Max is making a 6 with his fingers before we all dig in to Grandma's money spider cake!

Yeah baby! Dolly loves carfing pumpkins more than anyone. Even in high school he would come over to our house to carve pumpkins with us.

Maria the cross-eyed mummy!

Max, the super happy Frankenstein!

Lydia, the Queen of Halloween

Buggy, the grumpy because he has painful bolts glued to him, big Franky!

And, Vera, the cutest pj trick-or-treating tight pants girl with cute diaper bum running from house to house then holding up the 2 handfuls of treats she had grabbed out of the bowl and turning around to show me with a huge smile on her face, skeleton. Man she was cute.

What a great, warm, Halloween. I love trick-or-treating, it's one of my favorite memories, especially this one because it was warm and there were hundreds of kids out, dreamy...

Fall Break

                                   After watching Rocky IV, the kids went crazy with their exercising. They even organized an after school workout club. 

Pumpkin Patch

                                   Max's Unicorn that starts in the middle of his head

                                                       Fall Break at Niki's

BYU Homecoming Parade, my favorite.

Primary Program Ice Cream Party

Thanks to Grace Miller who watched Vera the whole time!

3:30 and Max is still in his pj's. He spent the whole day making birthday cards!

And I wish so bad that I had pictures of the boys when they got home from the Deer Hunt. They were so happy and so dirty and Dolly had a sweet beard.

I love School Pictures!

Has there ever been a cuter Kindergarten picture?

This one's pretty cute too, except for the wet spot on his shirt

                                            We've got the school picture hairdo down!

                                    It's always fun to unwind to a mess like this after church

Go Swees-Dog! On the podium again after another great Special Olympics swim.          Remember the awesome bomb dog Cinco?

Lydia in her classic sleeping position, on the ground with her head wrapped up in a sheet. Weird.

Maria's first day of Timpview Tots. She loves going to school and especially wearing her backpack!

Nailed it!

6 months pregnant with little... Rosie? Elizabeth? Ruby? hmmm...

And now for some great pictures of Vera. Let's start with getting into vaseline in her "hoot" (swimsuit).

Pretty do-do!!!! Vera says this word over a thousand times a day, no kidding. Dress ups all day for this girl.

                                                       

Yaya's Wedding!

The ring bearer and flower girl. Ahh!

Oh que pretty!

On our way to church :)

Bug is in heaven with his bacon bomb from Slater's 50/50. What a fun rehearsal dinner!

This was on Memorial day at the Sand Hill with the Sorensens. They were so good to us!

Vera lived in this floaty and water wings for the entire week we were in California.

The last of the summer pictures. That was the best tube ever, even Vera rode on it!

My baby doll.
