Early Christmas Present

My mom made this for me for Christmas. I love it.

Charlie

This is Charlie. He belongs to one of my neighbors. He is still very much a puppy. He is very sweet and loving. Whenever he breaks out of his house he runs up to ours gets under the fence and plays with Traitor. I think it will keep Traitor young. His owners always now when I call Charlie has gotten out. Most everyone knows that I have a soft spot for dogs. So when Charlie comes over I really don't mind.

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. The kids new exactly what they wanted to be. They new how to go up to the doors and come home with a good amount of candy.

Caleb was Optimus Prime
Emma was Princess Presto

Truman was Tigger.

Here are all of the cute kids in the neighborhood. We are so blessed to live were we do and the friends that we have made along with the kids are priceless.

Caleb has had an eventful month. At the first of the month he lost his first tooth. He was such a tuff guy. Just let me pull it out without crying. Also this month I took him in and got his eyes checked and he needed glasses for school and reading. He was so excited to get them. What even made it better is they came in blue.

A few weeks ago we watched my parents dog while they went on vacation. We ended up having 2 labs and 1 schnauzer for a week. It was crazy but we had a blast. While they were gone I gave them a shower. When it gets cold outside I will bath Traitor in our shower. Well Maggie wanted in on it too. So the 2 dogs and I got in the shower. It was crazy and looked miserable, but it got the job done. This is the 3 of them while I was up late working. The just made me laugh.

New Pictures

My good friend is starting a photography business and offered to take some pictures of my kids. She did an amazing job. Truman was very crancky but she got some way cute ones of him. I just cant believe how old my kids look. Where has the time gone. I know there is a lot of pictures but I couldn't decide, I love them all.

If you are interested in seeing more of her work. Just look at her blog fugatefotography.blogspot.com

Capes

Over the weekend my mom made these Capes for the kids. They love them. They turned out so cute.

She even made a small one for Truman.

The New Toy

We have been talking about getting bunk beds for the kids for a while now. Our good friend is an amazing carpenter. Once he built these I fell in love. The kids absolutely love them Right know Caleb sleeps on the top, Emma on the bottom and Truman in his crib all in the same room. The first night that we had them they wouldn't calm down and go to sleep. I went and told them that if they didn't we would take them back and they would go to there old beds. That morning I heard Truman talking in his bed, I waited for a few minutes and went in and Emma said "We stayed in our beds." I think I like this new arrangement. Thank you to my wonderful sister who gave me the comforters. They work great.

Kennecott Copper Mine

On Saturday we went to the Copper Mines. It was so much fun the kids loved the big trucks. It was amazing how much it has grown since I was little and went. I recommend it to anyone who wants something cheap and close for the kids.

Emmas Birthday

Emma turned 4 back in August. She is getting so big. For her birthday we had a Tea Party. All the girls brought there favorite doll and wore there prettiest dress.

Here they are enjoying cupcakes and lemonade. They made a cute bunch of little girls.

They made frames and put pictures of all of them with there dolls in it. They worked so hard on them.

It has been a wonderful year with Emma is will be fun to see what the next year brings.

Happy Anniversary

7 years and counting!

First Day of School

Caleb and Emma both started school this week. They have been patiently waiting all summer for it to start. Caleb started Kindergarten this year. I can believe that he is that old. He goes 5 days a week and loves every minute of it.

Emma started preschool this year. She has the most amazing teacher who we love. She goes three days a week. (Yes Truman and I are very much enjoying the long afternoon naps) She loves to get ready and even lets me curl her hair. She is taking it all in like a pro.

Cross Stitching

My sister does amazing cross stitching. For all of my kids she has made them a one with there name and birth date on it. They are amazing, even the back looks good. She just finished the one for Truman so I wanted to post them on here to say thank you to her for the amazing time and hard work you put into these. I will cherish them forever.

Caleb

Emma

Truman

I know I post a lot of pictures of Truman, but he is such a joy right now. I always have to have my camera on me. I hope these can make you smile.

Days of 47 Parade

Last night Jeremy slept out down town for the 24Th of July parade. He took Caleb and Emma with him and they had a blast. I had to work so I met him downtown the next morning. I will post more pictures later. The crowds weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I think this will be a family tradition every year. Great memories.

Truman

Truman by far is the busiest kid that we have. He is into everything, on everything, but is doing it with a big smile on his face. He brings a lot of joy to us.

This is our new problem. He loves to climb on the table and stand. He is going to be our first child with stitches, I see it already.
Enjoying a cookie.

I love watching him with Caleb. They both adore eachother.

4th of July

For the 4Th this year we went to the Granite parade with my parents. The kids loved the parade. My dad owns an old convertible that he drove in it. The kids along with Jeremy got to ride along with him It was such a wonderful day to be with family.

Here is the kids in matching shirts. Truman wanted nothing to do with the picture.

Here they are waiting for the parade to start.

This guy had a pet duck. The duck was really nice. Caleb went ahead and touched it but as you can tell by Emma's face she wanted nothing to do with it.

Emma's New Dresser

My mom and friend Chelsea have been talking about redoing Emma's dresser for a long time. We finally started it and they were great and finished it up over the weekend. Emma just loves it. It fits great into her room, it makes it so girly. I just love it. Thank you Mom and Chelsea for all of your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.
