Another place to sleep


Here is ANOTHER place Beckam just fell asleep. The more that I post where he has fallen asleep, the more my laughter is replaced with motherly concern..."what's up with my child?"


B & B just hanging out.

Weekend at Park City


This is the amazing view of the home we stayed at in Park City with our friends. It was so peaceful and beautiful up in those mountains. It was such a great weekend, thanks to Dan and Natalie for inviting us AND our kids! That was brave.





We brought their twisty bikes and the kids rode them up and down this driveway. They picked up so much speed that Jason had to actually jump in front of them to catch them risking his soul to save them :) really. So, what do they do? they tried it again.



Little Sophie fell asleep snuggling with me. I love that!

We went on a walk around the hills and Beckam collected all kinds of leaves. His main goal was to find a blue one. We came close, but not close enough. If anyone finds a blue leaf, let us know! We're on the hunt.

Cornbelly's

This year was again freezing cold at Cornbelly's, but we met up with some neighbor's and the kids just ran together and played ignoring the cold. By the end of the night, we had some tired kids.



Enjoying their doughnuts on a haystack.



What is it?


...A monster!


Dad running crazy with the race bikes.



Beckam and his buddy, Hunter.


Brooklyn and her friend, Carter.



and last, but not least- the jumping pillow. They let you on this for ten minutes then kick you off for another group to get on. It took five minutes just to get their shoes off and get around everyone, so really this was hardly worth the effort because the kids just get started and can't understand why they have to hurry and get off. Oh well, it was a fun night and was a good excuse to get home and out of the cold! Brrrrrrr.

Halloween Night


Here sits Beckam gearing up for trick-or-treating. He's trying to smile, but he's really just calculating in his mind how many suckers he thinks he'll get.



I just feel like a giant pumpkin this year...should've just dressed like one. :)



On the doors...and the fun begins


The got together with their buddies while they were out.


Londyn, Jackson, Brooklyn, Beckam, and Brenton


After the kids had enough, we all came to our house for dinner and hot chocolate with friends and neighbors. I forgot to take pics of that part, but it was a fun way to end the night.

Random Funnies


The kids built this "house" with a car in the garage, flag posts symbolizing their power, and a front porch. They all go hand in hand I guess right?



The kids just wanted me to take their picture, so they stood up against the wall like soldiers and smiled. So random.




The real reason they wanted me to take their pictures was probably just for this reason...to make funny faces and laugh at themselves.


Beckam has been falling asleep in the most random places lately that I'm starting to take a picture of all the places he conks out. This day was on the edge of the counter. I was doing dishes and looked over to ask him for something and he was gone.


We babysat these adorable little twins for my friend and Brooklyn couldn't get enough of them. The whole night Brooklyn got them toys, made them laugh, read them stories, and entertained them. Beckam just kept kissing them.


Yet another "comfy" place Beckam decided to fall asleep in.

Jason's Work Halloween Sha-bang!


Brooklyn was Rapunzel. Monga got her dress and her hair from Downtown Disney at Disneyland so it was especially cool for her. But, this day she decided to be a grumpy Rapunzel and not let me take a decent picture of her.


My little Lightning McQueen on the other hand was very excited and on the lookout for any sucker he could get his hands on.


Everyone at Jason's work goes all out and people come dressed up as everything you could imagine. Any mom who has been forced to listen to hours and hours of Yo Gabba Gabba can appreciate this picture...or maybe despise it all the more- you pick. Either way, he looks like the real deal you have to admit.


Dad wore his twin brother's homeless costume to work. I asked him who put his 'makeup' on and he said he just rubbed real dirt all over his face from the garden in the front of the building.


These guys had Angry Birds set up at their desks and let all the kids come play. Very clever I thought.




They had another area decked out in pac man gear.
The entire building inside was decorated in all kinds of stuff. You don't even realize you're in an office. It's always fun to see what they have and get even more unnecessary sugar to fill my kids' bags up :)

Dinner with Ben and Emilee



This year instead of doing gingerbread houses, we did a gigantic puzzle...or at least they did a gigantic puzzle, I just took the pictures.


Cute little Lawson and Ben!
