1st Dance Recital {November 2011}

 The girls both started dance this year from Dance Magic and the Ballet School. 

They are both so excited about it. 

Savanah is on a Varsity team and Kennedy is on a majestic Competition team.

This was their first recital and they did so good, although they were both a little nervous!

 We are excited to watch and see how they progress!

Thanksgiving {2011}

We feel so blessed to have family come to us for Thanksgiving. 

This year Ali, Brian and Beth came and so did my sister Rebecca, Allen, and there kiddos. 

It was the first time I got to see my new nephew Calvin as well.

Isn't he adorbs?

We spent the morning of baking.

Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without Rebecca's divine Heart Attack Roll-ups.

You can find more delish recipes @ bexrecipebox.blogspot.com

Savanah helped in the kitchen all morning. She loves to cook.

Beth was begging for table scraps...ha

While we cooked and baked the boys went to play football at the turkey bowl.

This picture makes me laugh

We had so much yummy food

. 

Here is our 2011 tablescaping....

 Some of the highlights from our Thanksgiving are

Eating,

Listening to Becca, Allen, and Ali singing to Allen's guitar.

St. George picnic in the park.

Cousins playing so well together.

Movie watching

Shopping

and

laughing.

It was also nice to have help. 

I was pretty sick being pregnant and didn't keep much down the entire time they were here. 

So I felt pretty weak most of the time.

I LOVE my family so much. 

I have the best sisters ever!

Like our twinner hats?

 We are so glad they came!

Halloween { Oct. 2011}

I love Halloween. 

I love the excitement of the kids, the pumpkin Carving, costume picking, baking, sweet treats, and parties.

We always kick off October with a FHE night of pumpkin Carving.

Beau is such a good dad. He enjoys this as much as the kids do!

Caleb being silly

Kenny posing like always.

Is it a little bright Savanah? :)

This year Savanah was a Zombie, Caleb was a Grimm Reaper, Kennedy was a skeleton, and Lukas was a Penguin.

They looked so cute in their costumes.

We went trick or treating with Jake and his kids. 

Afterwards we enjoyed our traditional soup feast with the Church family.

This little penguin was struggling to get his bag open.

Happy Halloween!

Signs of Fall {Ocotober 2011}

I can't believe we are into fall already. 

The wind is changing, the smell in the air is different, the leaves have turned colors,

my cocoa mixes are well stocked and mugs are ready to go.

Oh I just LOVE fall, don't you?

Kennedy's 6th birthday { Sept. 2011}

The day after Savanah's birthday is always followed by Kenny's birthday. 

This year she celebrated her 6th birthday.

Kennedy never has a big preference for what she wants. 

She is very easy to please.

We woke her up before school also to celebrate and open presents.

She was so excited! 

She kept saying "I am old now!" 

Time is just flying by too fast! I hate seeing all my babies growing up!

Here are 6 things we absolutely LOVE about Kennedy.

1. She is strong willed. To some this may seem hard, but it really is a great strength. She won't be pushed around and won't conform to something she doesn't want to do. I think this will come in handy with the peer pressures of teenage years!:)

2. She is so loving. She is always giving Beau and I hugs and kisses.

3. Her laugh! She makes Beau and I laugh everytime she gets a good laugh going.

4. She is sweet. She has such a sweet side. She is always giving sweet compliments to her siblings.

5. She loves to sing. You can find Ken singing all day long. And she has a beautiful voice.

6. SHE IS OURS FOREVER!

Love you Piddle Princess!

Here are some pics from her birthday session.
