Harper- 8 months old



At the park with cousin Jack.



Haunted House
This is a new haunted house in Murray.  Rem knows the owner and did some work for him so he lets him in for free.  Rem hasn't really wanted to go in during business hours because of the people in there that scare you.  So at the end of the season they had certain hours you could go in with no one to scare you.  We took some friends with us.  I was looking forward to going in although I was unsure what Harper would do.  But then we ended up having 2 friends too scared to go in so I stayed out in the car with them.  My boys had fun, I'm not sure they'd do it again though.



Food Bank Shopping
Our annual trip to Sams Club to shop for the food bank is always fun.  It's a little chaotic with all the cousins, but it's fun to see everyone.  I love this tradition and I'm so grateful to my parents who are such a great example to us to be so generous and giving to those in need.




Love these cute babies!

Zoo
Erika and I and our little baby girls went to the Zoo on a free zoo day.  I don't think I'll do that again, it was super crowded and we had to park pretty far away.  We didn't spend too much time at the zoo.  I guess it was a good walk for the day.



Lucy and Lincoln
My sister and her husband went on vacation so we got to have Lucy and Lincoln for a little bit.  They were all excited about having a sleepover together so we made a fort for them to sleep in.  We were planning on taking them to church with us, but with 9:00 church and a baby that didn't sleep well the night before, we didn't make it.



Graham's Gymnastics
I'm proud of this kid for passing everything off to move to the next level and earn some trophies!  He was super excited!



Graham Lost a Tooth
Graham finally lost his first tooth as a 1st grader.  He has had so many friends loose teeth at a younger age and he's been wanting this for a while.  This tooth was pretty wiggly and definitely ready to come out.  Rem tried tying floss around it to pull it out, but it kept slipping off.  We finally got some thread and after Rem attempted way too many times, I decided to take a try.  First try, I got it and the tooth went flying!  Luckily we found it and the tooth fairy brought Graham a $2 bill that night.



Happy Thanksgiving
I love getting together with family and enjoying good food.  I brought homemade rolls and a yummy peanut butter chocolate pie.  Graham had his eyes set on a huge turkey leg and he got lucky that grandpa gave it to him.  The 3 dogs even got lucky to eat some leftovers.  After dinner we played games and talked.  It was a good day and I sure am thankful for my WHOLE family, but especially my husband and 3 cute kiddos!


Getting ready for Christmas
We always start decorating for Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend.  We were especially excited to get started this year because Thanksgiving was so late in the month.  And we were excited because we had Harper to share all the fun with.  It was fun to watch her enjoy the lights and the train go around the track.




Graham being silly

New Jammies!
With Christmas coming out it means that Buddy the elf comes back and he always seems to find the jammies that I buy the kids before I even have a chance to give it to them.  The kids woke up the next morning to find their new jammies hanging on the tree.  The boys were super excited to get these awesome one piece Christmas tree pajamas!
