Long Overdue Update

I can't believe I have gone this long without posting something.  I have a lot to update but I want to keep it as short as possible, so it will mostly be pictures with a few words.

 

First Day of School!

 

The first snow in October.  Easton and Bear loved it!

 

 Our family dressed up as zombies this year.

We didn't take the kids to our wards 'Trunk or Treat' this year, so instead we just took them to my parents neighborhood to do trick or treating.  They got tired after a few blocks and were ready to stop. They have gotten used to getting a bunch of candy by just going around a parking lot and aren't used to the good old fashioned way of working to get your candy. 

 

Easton turned three this year. He still seems like my baby so I can't believe he is three.

Porter and Easton's birthday are a day apart and Porter had to work, so on Easton's birthday we went to my parents house and had pizza and cupcakes.  Then on Porter's day off we celebrated both their birthdays and had the Galloway side come over for cake and ice cream.  Easton got a bunch of fun presents and even his own Monster High Doll.

The kids love playing in the snow and are outside all the time sledding.

Christmas morning.  The kids didn't get as much as they used to get because we paid for Christmas this year without using any credit cards.  Porter worked a lot of extra hours.  However the kids were really grateful this year and still got most of what they wanted and told us this was the best Christmas ever!  That makes it all worth it!

 

 Over Christmas break we took the kids bowling with their cousins.  It was Easton's first time bowling and he had a blast.  Every time he would let the ball go he immediately started dancing and cheering for himself.  The kids love their bowling.

Brynlie turned 7 on January 4.  She chose to go out to eat at Texas Roadhouse and then her Aunt Cassie took her and Rylie to the Jump Zone as her Birthday present.  She wanted a cat cake which I attempted to do without succeeding very well, but she liked it.  She got some fun presents and had a good birthday.



 

Brynlie was able to walk the halls at school because she got to her goal of 100 A.R. points.  She is such a good reader and her dad and I are so proud of her.
