{December Bows}

{Happy Birthday Marly}

~OUR LITTLE ANGEL GIRL~


Marly loved Dance Recital this year. She was such a darling little Angel. WOW is our baby really 4 years old? It almost seems impossible. Here is Marly in 2008.







This has been a big year for Marly. She no longer has accidents, she was in her first dance recital, she got to see the ocean (and still talks about seeing the blow hole with Grandpa), she was brave enough to ride in the tube behind the boat, she started preschool, she made new friends, she dresses herself as long as mommy doesn't insist, she also can do her own hair (which she is very proud of and sometimes Mommy has to insist to help with that too. lol), she learned to swim and ride a bike with no training wheels and so much more. Woah what a big year for such a little girl.

For Marly Dora is the coolest and we get to spend a lot of our days playing with, listening to and watching Dora. Infact, once in a while we will be at the store and she will tell me what color drink she wants in Spanish... too bad I don't really know spanish huh - lol (Maybe Mommy needs to watch some more Dora). For Marly the choice is simple PURPLE it has to always be purple. Onda K. and preschool are at the top of her list this year. First thing every morning she is ready to head out the door to play with our new neighbors, she is a very social child. She also adores her Daddy, which he doesn't mind at all I am sure. At this stage she just says the funniest things out of the blue, she keeps life interesting while the other kids are at school. For her birthday she wanted to have a chocolate party again. We were amazed that she remembered that we had one last year. Marly is our chocolate kid. Most kids like chocolate but she just loves it.













Happy Birthday Baby Girl.

{Thanksgiving}

What a great Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful so see everyone. I only wish I would have stopped talking to take more pictures.

Marly was having a fun time. I couldn't get her to hold still.

Treyson never stops to smile for a picture.. but he did today.

Grandma and Hailey

Karsyn and Charlie had a blast together.





On Thanksgiving day I found myself looking for Grandpa. I know he has been gone almost a year but I am still not used to having him gone. More than once I realized he wasn't coming and there was a little tug on my heart. I miss him.





Those of you we didn't get to see we sure missed you. With families as big as we have it is totally impossible to ever be with everyone on every side of your family. BUT we love you all. I feel so blessed and have so much to be grateful for.

{Where Did November Go?}

On the way to wrestle in Challis... Ryker...

Karsyn's 1st Grade Thanksgiving Program

Grandma Beck we were sorry that you were sick the day of the program so we are putting some little video clips on here for you, but when you watch these excuse the bad camera girl...




Daddy came!!! Karsyn was so happy to see him there- work clothes and all.

Kent took the boys to a Jazz game Monday night with Uncle Brad... they hit a deer... and the air bags went off... but no one was hurt except the deer...

And I have been making and selling bows...

Last night I got myself with the scissors... OUCH!

And tomorrow is Thanksgiving... mmmmm we can't wait. We love this time of year... it tastes so good!

I finally added the other Halloween pictures ... the boys are worried no one will know they are there :) So be sure to check them out ;)

{Thought}

I saw this when I was with my Mom today. I have always enjoyed the saying but today I got it for the kitchen. To be sure I didn't forget to put it up I did it right when I got home. :) I love it... it is right above the window by the sink.

I am not going to tell Kent just to see how long it takes him to notice it...

{November Page}

I am involved in a scrapbook page and card exchange. We meet each month and rotate trading pages or cards. It is a lot of fun and I end up with a ton of pages and cards. I usually have 2 or 3 months worth of pages ready. But this time I woke up and realized that I didn't have a page GREAT!!! So, I had an hour- I hate it when I have to hurry like that.


I didn't give it a title but it is a baby page~

{Halloween}

Halloween was busy and fun and tiring and cold and rainy and fun. I only have a few pictures for now... my camera died and I was out of batteries. So, I will have to get the pictures from mom ASAP. Until then...

{The Week}

WOW! So much happened last week that I can't mention it all but it was a great week amazingly enough. Now we (I) am just trying to recover :)

BIG GIRL
Marly is so proud of herself. Braydon taught her how to ride her bike without the training wheels. It took about a 1/2 hour. Good thing we have him to teach everyone else to ride their bike- SERIOUSLY he has taught all the kids and a few cousins and neighbors.


LEAVES
Karsyn and Marly had fun in the leaves- and boy do we have leaves!!!

SO TIRED
Marly fell asleep while I was on the computer. I went over to see if she had eaten her mashed potatoes before she fell asleep and was very surprised to see how she fell asleep. She was TOTALLY in them. I had to stop laughing to take a picture and then pull her up for some air.

PUMPKIN PATCH
We had fun picking our own pumpkins this year. Thanks to the Buetts Family for suggesting the idea- our kids had a ton of fun. Bethany and Treyson came along too.
