Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours!

Bath Time

The boys love taking baths. Mack actually crawls into our bathroom (the only bath tub we have in the house, the rest are just showers) and cries when we take him away from the tub. Since they love it, they get baths quite frequently, and since they're boys, they normally need it anyways! These pictures are printed and waiting to be hung in my new bathroom.

This was when Oliver was 18 mos old or so

Snowman

Oliver LOVES the snow. He had a blast the first day we got tons of snow. He and Dad went out and built "snowmen" but really, they were just snow balls that Oliver would put in a pile. Still fun though!

Autumn 2014

We were able to take the boys to the Pumpkin Patch this year, Oliver had so much fun! I took him last year with my sister, sister in law and their kids, and he had fun, but he wasn't totally into it. This year, Terry was able to come and Oliver just loved it!

Our ward Harvest Party was the Wednesday before Halloween, and we had a ton of fun. Oliver had his very own Oliver tractor, which took forever to make, and then he wouldn't wear it. We dressed Mack up as a trucker, complete with a 5 o'clock shadow! Terry never wants to participate so he was Dad, and I just my bump up as a Jack-o-lantern.

We finished combining the Wednesday the same day as our Harvest Party. The earliest we have ever finished harvest! It was definitely something to celebrate.

Tradition

This year they turned the water off in the canal on the 23rd of October. To celebrate, we decided we would go to breakfast, since that would never happen while irrigating. We had a lot of fun, and together, Terry and I decided we would make it a tradition, we'll do it every year, even when the kids start school. I love that we are starting to have things that just our little family will do together for years to come!

Laundry

The boys love laundry baskets. They are the best!

Girl's Trip

I'm so fortunate and blessed to have the in laws that I have. Terry's family has always welcomed me and made me feel like I'm part of the family. Terry is the only boy and has 5 sisters. This year they decided to have a girls trip and they made sure I was invited. Not everyone was able to make it, but we had such a good time! We went to San Diego, California the first weekend of October. It was a lot of fun for us to all be with each other without kids pulling at our shirts. We enjoyed lots of laughs, and lots of food! This trip was the first time I had ever flown, and it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, but I'm glad I can say I've done it! We hung out on the beach, went to the temple, and spent a day at Sea World. I'm so glad Terry said I could go (combining corn was in full swing), and that my parents were willing to help watch our boys. I am so glad I can call Terry's sisters my friends as well!
