Thanksgiving

Here I am with my sister. She is due a month before me.

We went to Texas for a big Whiting family reunion. On the last day Todd went out with his dad and shot this buck. He thought it'd be fun for me to post this. I think it's crazy.

This is the creek that Todd often talks of with fondness.

Back in Yakima on Nov 22 we woke up to snow.

The kids made snowmen.

silly kids

I love when our kids laugh. And here Todd and I are with wigs at the Ward Trunk or Treat Party.

Oct 31

Halloween was extra special this year. Kaylee was baptised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She looked beautiful and we love her so much. Then that evening we went Trick-or Treating. This picture is funny because I caught both the girls coughing. I still need to get our family Halloween pic (wigs for Todd and I of course) off of his camera.

just some pictures

Kaylee wanted to pose with this flower. She is loving having her ears pierced but really wants to wear Halloween earrings but is supposed to wait 6 weeks before switching them out. She is not a patient girl!
I just wanted to take Lincoln's picture while we were playing a card game together. He gets so excited and I love when he has such a happy smile.

I found Dallin looking at our family photo-book. Awesome.

And here we are at the Seattle Zoo. Lots of greenery, and a bit more walking than at our Las Vegas Zoo.

Birthdays & apples

Here we went to pick huge apples. Now I'm excited to make applesauce.

Kaylee turned 8! She has been looking forward so much to her birthday. On Oct 1st we got her ears pierced. She loves them and looks adorable.

Todd got Lincoln this bow and arrow for his Birthday. He loves being able to hit the target.

school

Open house was a little different this year. In Vegas we'd see half the ward at school. Here we didn't know anyone. The kids seem OK though.

Anna wanted her hair shorter. It's hard to let her long locks go, but they will grow back and she really likes it. Now Kaylee wants hers alot shorter.
