Halloween Fun 2012

Here is our line up for this Halloween of 2012.  We have a very cute and cuddly bat.

A firefighter with his rubber ducky teacher.

Our very own astronaut and he cuddly baby teacher.

And the two of them enjoying the Halloween parade at school.

Keagan went to school as a Yup Yup.  Made by my very creative mom.

Later on that night we had to change things up a bit.  Here is Darien with his very own candy pants.  Why carry a bag for all your candy when you can just have people put it in your pants.   LOL  That sounds really wrong. ;)

Rylan managed to keep up appearances as the astronaut.

Keagan had to change things up a little and go as the President of the Czech Republic.  LOL  this was a mask Jamie bought while he was living there.  Really is the president.

And Stefan our little fire fighter just had to add some layers for warmth.  Another great year.

Backyard Camp Out

A good old fashion camp out in the back yard.  These are some more pictures that I happened to find while uploading pictures that I just had to share.  Jamie and the boys decided that it would be fun to camp outside.

So they got it all ready and took the small TV out there so they could have a movie night also.

The funny thing is these two were the only ones left in the morning.  Everyone else had come back inside during the night to sleep in their own beds.  How funny is that?  LOL

Corn Maze Fun

I just found these pictures that were from the summer when my niece Kristina was visiting for a week.  We decided it would be fun to go to the corn maze for the afternoon.  Really who doesn't like climbing up huge piles of hay?  LOL

Or jumping on a very large blow up thingy?  LOL  Not sure what to call this thing.

Or being so excited that you finally found the exit.  LOL  I thought that we were going to be stuck in that maze forever. 

Or riding on all the cool ride on toys that they have?

Feeling so little again.

Or so big.  LOL

Really good times were had by all.  LOL

Snuggle Time

I think that it is funny to see Stefan in all the pictures with the baby.  He wants to hold him and snuggle with him all the time.  LOL

Getting so big.

Rylan's Baptism

As excited at he was for his birthday what he was most excited about was his baptism.  This is a day that he has been waiting for since singing at Keagan's baptism 2 1/2 years ago.  Rylan has such a sweet testimony of the gospel and he truly shows that in the choices that he makes every day and his desire to do what is right.

Tradition.  Rylan and Daddy before his baptism.

The good looking crew.

My sweet, sweet boy.

The family/friends there to celebrate and support Rylan on this special day.

And this is what happens when you put some one else in charge of the camera.  LOL

After the baptism it was time to celebrate so off to the gymnastics club we went.  This is a family favorite for birthdays as there is something for everyone to do.  Stefan showing us his cannon ball into the foam pit.

Jamie running to the foam pit but getting nailed by the pumpkin on his way in.  LOL  So funny at the time.

Uncle Robin and Auntie Tammy were pretty much stuck in the foam pit.  LOL

Rylan showing us his moves.  So much fun.

We had a ton of food and it was great.

Rylan has some great friends that came to support him and to have some fun.

Wow so generous.

The amazing cake that Auntie Renea made for the birthday boy.

Happy Birthday and Baptism Rylan.  We love you.

In Class Fieldtrip

The joy of being a stay at home mom is that I get to help out at the school and go on field trips and I am so thankful for that.  This is an in school field trip that I got to help out with.

I am pretty sure we were learning about rocks and minerals.  So much fun.

Happy Birthday Ry Ry

Every year seems to fly by.  I can't believe that Rylan is now 8 years old.  This is such a special birthday and he is so excited to finally be baptized.  Both Grandmas came out for this special day.

Rylan the man of many faces.  LOL

Daddy got the cake done as you can tell by the Ry Ry.  That is what Jamie calls him.

Who couldn't love that cheesy grin.  You are such a sensitive and caring boy.  You make us so proud of you in the choices that you make and the example you are to those around you.

I hope that, that cheesy grin stays forever.  You are so special and just like each of your brothers make our family complete.  Love you more.  ;)

Our New Bundle

It is just me or has winter come early this year.  LOL

At least we know that baby K will be all snug as a bug.

Rylan Skating

It is that time of year again when the boys get to go with their classes to skate.  We are always a little rusty at the start.

Not really being a big skater myself I am glad that my boys have this opportunity.

So handsome and doing so great.

Our First Walk

There is nothing better than going for a walk in the crisp fall air.  All the army games you want to play and a whole lot of exploring.  So much fun.  This was our first family walk with our new little addition.

Family picture on the bridge.

Did I mention that it was brisk.  LOL  This little guy was so well bundled.

We were so happy with the stroller that we brought back with us from the Czech Republic this summer.  And baby seemed to really enjoy the ride ;)

Stefan decided that he needed a walking stick.  This one was a little too big.  LOL

I love being outside with my boys.

We never leave home without protections.  LOL  I hope that this never grows old.  I love having boys.  LOL
