Thanksgiving!

We hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving! I know that our family had a lot of fun and we were so thankful to be able to spend the day together! We truly have been blessed with so much. I hope everyone has been as fortunate as us! Here are some pictures of the day!

Okay this one is not of Thanksgiving but I thought he looked to cute not to share it! I can't believe he is going to be three in a few weeks!

My two favorite boys in the whole world! They really enjoyed watching the parade together! I can't believe how into it Colten got!

The newest thing we have to be thankful for. Addison!

Aubrey and Addison laying together. It made me sad to see how big my "baby" really is! Why do they have to grow up so fast?

Aubrey was VERY tired after eating all her turkey!

My attempt to get a picture of Aubrey and I...she was more interested in watching Wubzzy (sp?)!

Aubrey getting to do what she really wanted to do! Maybe some day she will want to take a picture with her Mama!

Colten after a long fun day that did not include a nap! He was READY for bed last night!

Have I mentioned I have a lot to be thankful for!

Christmas Pictures!

We had our Christmas pictures taken a couple of weeks ago and I think they turned out pretty good!

Here is Miss Aubrey, she is into EVERYTHING its a good thing she wasn't our first child...we would have never had any more if she was!

Colten is going to be three years old in less than a month! It is crazy to me how fast time goes!

Could you love them anymore. They are truly best friends and it is great to watch them grow together every day!

We are so truly blessed. I am excited to spend the Christmas season reflecting on everything we have been given!

Swimming Fun!

Aubrey was lucky enough to enjoy some swimming lessons the past few Monday's! She had 5 of them and loved it! She did really well and I am trying to figure out a place we can go to get her in the water some more this winter. If you cant tell from the pictures the girl LOVES to splash...Thanks Aubrey!

Here is Aubrey chasing the ball.

Aubrey floating on her back...she wouldn't give the ball up!

Trying to get a good picture for dad!

I know its been a while since my last post! Things around our house have been busy lately but we are looking foward to spending some time this weekend with good friends and family! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I know we have a ton to be thankful for!

Fall Photos!

Just thought I would share some of the more recent pictures we had taken of the kidos. There are better ones of Aubrey but we had to go back to get them so this is what I have to share for now! Enjoy!

Aren't they adorable?

Her face in this one makes me laugh. What a goof!

I thought this was kind of cool!

I love the black and white!

And again!

Isn't he the sweetest?

She is never serious!

I love my little ham!

He was in the middle of throwing a fit (I know a big surprise) when she got this one!

I can't wait to get their Christmans pictures taken!

Trick Or Treat!

Well needless to say we had another very busy weekend. We are so blessed to be able to do so many wonderful things each weekend. This weekend we started off by trick or treating in Westloop on Friday night. Colten and Aubrey were joined by their friend Peyton Yoder and of course Kelly, Uncle Brett, and Grandma Donna. It was a lot of fun. Saturday baby Addison got to come home! She is PERFECT! The kids loved her and we enjoyed trick or treating in her neighborhood as well as watching her first football game.
Colten Trick Or Treating in Westloop.

Aubs rode on Uncle Brett's Shoulder's most of the time. It was a lot of walking for someone with such little legs!

Colten striking a pirate pose!All three of them...It's a lot of work to get them to all look. It was a little cold for the girls therefore you can't really see their costumes. They still had fun though!

Sara, Dan, and Addison! Aren't they a perfect family?

Justin and I loving on our niece for the first time.

Colten meeting Addison. He loved holding her and giving her kisses. I was pleasantly surprised on how well he did!

Aubrey holding Miss Addison. She kept giving kisses as well and saying baby Waa! It was really cute. On Sunday afternoon she kept calling her baby Addison.

The four of us checking her out. We couldn't love her any more and can not wait to make lots of memories with her! Have I mentioned how blessed we are?

In the middle of welcoming Baby Addison we trick or treated. Here is Aubrey, Colten, and Bricen getting ready to go out.

And then Aubrey, Addison, and Colten. Aren't they cute?

Aubrey talking to Addison! She loved her!

The kids walking up to a house. It was funny they only went to about ten houses before deciding they had enough. We were pleasantly surprised.

Finally a family photo! Can you tell we wore them out?

Catching Up!

Last weekend was another busy one for us. We attended the basketball scrimmage on Saturday morning, and then Justin and I attended the football game with no children. It was bitter sweet but we enjoyed it.
Here is Colten and his Daddy at the basketball game.

Aubrey watching the game. She wasn't to interested.

This week we went to the Fall Scrimmage up at the ball stadium. It was a lot of fun but a reminder that baseball season we will be here before we are ready.
Here is Colten playing baseball at the baseball game. He loves it!

Miss Aubrey watched the game for about 5 seconds!

And finally the best part of the past two weeks...Addison Marie was born! She looks just perfect (we can't go see her because they aren't letting people into the hospital due to the H1N1 virus). We are excited to meet her tomorrow! Its killing me having to wait!

Aunt Sara, Uncle Dan, and Addison made us a video to watch of her since we couldn't go see her. My crazy kids decided that they wanted to watch from Sadie's dog cage.

Aubrey became very interested in the video when Addison started to cry. It was cute she kept saying baby and looking. I think she will be a GREAT big cousin!

Colten was also concerned when she cried and wanted to help her. I can't wait for him to meet her tomorrow.

We are excited to Trick Or Treat tomorrow night, and to meet Addison. It should be another great weekend!

Does life get any better?

Pumpkin Fun!

In an attempt to get into the fall spirit we carved pumpkins! I know it is a bit early but the boys could not wait and we wanted to be sure we did it on a night when Bricen was over. Please ignore the mess that was my house (we were in the process of getting new floors, so we had stuff everywhere). Also the boys refused to put clothes back on and it wasn't a battle that I wanted to fight. Other than that we had a great time and the boys were interested for point five seconds...oh well!
Just getting started!

Colten getting his seeds out. He didn't like it because he got dirty! Oh well.

Bricen taking his lid off!

Colten and Bricen stoped to strike a pose!

Aubrey helped too!

I must have spaced out because I forgot to take pictures of the finished product. Oh well!

This last one is just of the two kids. I thought it was cute!
