Fall Trip

We took a spontaneous trip up north the other day to hang out with siblings. It was a blast and a much needed shake up of the normal life stuff. We played our hearts out, went to the temple, watched soccer games and enjoyed fall weather and hot chocolate and soups. We also went to the Bean Museum. It was pretty neat.

After a year and a half in speech, Brielle graduated yesterday.

The Learning Center had a fall party and the kids loved it!

For Reflections this year my mom gave the kids a lesson on Oil Painting. They did a great job.



For fall break we decided to stick around home and we enjoyed a backyard campout. Skylee was the only one who made it through the night in the tent but it was fun to do a cook out and roast marshmallows and starbursts.
Another fall break activity was going to the library and the carousel. 



Dayton is officially walking and with walking has come lots of bruises and owies for this little guy. That is a giant bruise slashed across his cheek from falling off the couch onto the end table. SO sad. I feel like he has a new bruise on his head or face practically everyday. :(

Grandma Rosie bought each of the kids a troll and shipped them to us. They were super cute and the kids loved them.

Angie and Patrick came to visit so we went to Mongolian BBQ (they go every time they are down) but we just heard they are shutting down in a few months. It was Jaston's first time and he loved it. It helped that they had origami and a fun old lady who loved the kids. 




Dayton's hair was getting out of control with super long pieces in the front. It made for quite the little comb-over but it was time for the first hair cut. 



Grandma and Grandpa Thomas came to visit. It was a blast to see them. I'm sure we wore them down with all the energy of the kiddos. They sure love GG and Grandpa!








S'mores before school starts!

Spaghetti Babies

I was looking through my blog books today trying to figure out when Jeff and I got engaged ( I always forget) and came across a spaghetti-faced picture of Jaston and remembered that I had a pic similar to that of all my kids so naturally I needed to put them side by side to see if there were any similarities.
