Boy or Girl?

Today is the day! We are off to the hospital. I am so excited. I will miss the moving and kicking in my stomach! I miss Ariana hugging my tummy and kissing the baby. BUT I will have another cutie to hold! I can't wait!! Woo-Hoo!

I saw a picture like this and loved it so last night we took one.

So until I (or Adam) post again. Can you guess what I am having? Boy or Girl??

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch. I love watching the kids run from pumpkin to pumpkin finding the perfect one. Kalixta was the fastest. Then spent the rest of the time playing the the hay bale maze. Ari took the longest and Nik couldn't find one big enough! We had a great time. I love this time of year!  Click on the picture to see more of our adventures!

Bean Museum

My Mom flew in today to spend the week with us. Yesterday was her birthday so Marci thought it would be fun to do something she likes to do with all her kids and grandkids that are here. So we went to a museum! My Mom loves to visit museums. We decided the Bean Museum at BYU would be fun and it was so much fun! The museum has TONS of stuffed animals. The kids loved it! We took tons of pictures. It was hard to narrow it down, but here you go! Click on the picture below to see all of them.IMG_4020

A Good Find!

I found this one Nik's desk the other day. It made my whole day! (I had to ask both of them who wrote it to prove it was Zoe and not Nik being silly.)

Super Bowl

Nik's team won all of their playoff games and earned a spot in the Super Bowl. They played Saturday morning. It was COLD, but I was happy it didn't snow or rain on us. The Bears played hard, but the other was better! They ended up losing by ten points. It was a good game. The played on a high school field and had an announcer and everything. It was fun to hear Nik's name or number whenever he was in on the play. This is the team. I was a little slow getting out the camera.

Nik was pretty upset they lost and won't take a good picture so this is one from another game.

I am glad to now have all the sports done with… until the spring!

Softball

Adam had his last softball game Friday night. It was a fun season. They didn't have lots of wins, but that is okay they had lots of laughs and fun. Britain and Kalixta really got into some of the games. They would cheer really loud for each person when they were batting and yell "Go green team!" when they were in the outfield. Friday was COLD! It was way to cold to play or watch softball, but we did it. This is how the twins sat the whole time!

Usually they all take their scooters and ride around. Ariana is just learning how to ride. She is the new owner of a Spider-Man scooter since Ammon got a new one. She loves it! I took this picture a different night!

 It was super fun to watch since I knew almost everyone playing. Marie and Jordan had a few home runs. Adam had tons of great hits and two home runs!! He also had a great defensive season. Everybody had a great season! Here are some fun pictures from the whole season.

Fall Pictures

On Monday for family night we went up the canyon near our house to see all the beautiful fall colors. Marci went with us to get some family photos. We got started a little too late so the lighting wasn't great. We still got some fun pictures.

Getting Ariana to stand still was quite a task! Let alone getting her to look at the camera!

I love love this pictures of my three guys!

It kinda sucks having a handsome, photogenic husband. He always looks great and I feel less than pretty, but oh well. I still want to have some pictures!

I was bribing with ice cream. Can you tell by the HUGE smiles!

Orange Day

Gotta love orange day!!

Hope you all had a happy day too!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Adam's birthday is today and I couldn't let the day pass without a bloggers big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Good old IBM gives employees their birthday off. So Adam had the whole day to do whatever he wanted. We started the day by dropping the older kids off and school and going out to breakfast. We ran a few including getting a new garbage disposal. Mine broke and I have been missing it!  When we got home Adam went right to work. He put in seeds to grow grass that had died and he fixed my disposal! It is so great to have it working! I am grateful for a husband who uses his extra time to do something for me! Thanks Babe!

When the kids got home from school we opened presents and had cake and ice cream. I love how excited the kids get to give presents they picked out. Adam reacts perfectly and gets so excited no matter what he gets.

 It was a great day! Happy birthday Adam! I love you so much. Thanks for all you do for me and our family!

Applesauce

Thanks to an amazing family in our ward I was able to make applesauce again this year. This is the third year. This family brings apples from Idaho and sells them for really cheap. They also have all the tools to make the applesauce! It is the best tasting stuff! 

The kids all have a great time helping me wash, cook, and squish the apples. Britain was my biggest helper. Every time I asked for help she came running. We made 40 quarts this year. I am so thrilled! I wanted to do peaches and pears, but I am running out of time and energy. Oh well, next year!
