Christmas Tree Project

Frosting, marshmallows, M&Ms and lots and lots of sprinkles!  We had Gavin over last night so the boys could create some edible Christmas trees.  They had a lot of fun and enjoyed eating their projects. We may have to make this activity a tradition around the holidays!

Gymnastics

Kellan's first gymnastics class was pretty adorable.  He had a great time tumbling with the others.  He is in a group with 3 and 4 year olds.  The teacher is great with kids and very patient.  His favorite part was jumping on the trampoline and jumping into the foam pit.  I will have to get some pictures of those activities next time!

Thanksgiving Break

I have enjoyed having the last 5 days off work to celebrate Thanksgiving and spend time with the kiddos.  We had a nice brunch with friends on Thursday morning, then hosted Chris and Becca for Thanksgiving dinner.  Chris and Becca brought the turkey and some sides.  We did a few sides and dessert too.  We had plenty of delicious food!  The rest of the week we have been hanging out and enjoying our time together. :)

My little helper...

Our beautiful turkey!

Pretty girl!

A walk to burn some post-Thanksgiving calories!

Exhausted after a day of cooking.  Too tired to eat!

Halloween 2012

I just realized I forgot to post pictures from Halloween.  Kellan and Jaffa made a robot costume this year.  We had beautiful weather for an evening of trick or treating with Chris and Becca.

Seven Months!

Here she is, rosy cheeks and all!

Ballerina!

Pumpkins!

Last weekend we had Chris and Becca over for some pumpkin carving.  Kellan requested a sad pumpkin from Becca and wanted ours to be scary! Chris got creative with a ghost.  Here's what we came up with!

Six Months!

Harper turned six months old on October 14th!  I took her to the doctor for her "well baby" check.  Here are her stats:

Weight: 19.4 lbs. (95%)
Length: 28.5 in. (100%)

Large and in charge.  She's pulling herself up on whatever she can reach.  She's not one for sitting around and must always be busy.  She puts everything in her mouth and keeps us on our toes!  She's enjoying all the new food...I think her favorites are squash and bananas!

She won't be on her back for more than 0.2 seconds so the days of her lying next to the sign are over.  She wants to crush the sign and rip it to shreds so I have to be quick.

Visitors

A couple of weeks ago we had some visitors from the midwest!  Grandma Jamie, Grandpa Bobby, Jaia, Sage, and Lola!  It was great to see everyone and the kids really enjoyed spending a few days together. :)

Centennial Monster Mash

Last Friday we had a Halloween dinner and dance at my school.  I took Harper and Kellan for a couple of hours and we had a lot of fun!

Colorado Railroad Museum

Last weekend, we took Kellan to the Colorado Railroad Museum to check out some old trains and take a ride on one.  He really enjoyed climbing all over them and had fun with his buddies Conor and Colin too.  Trains are one of his favorites!
