Happy Thanksgiving

We are so grateful for our good friends the Ys and the Ns. We sure enjoyed the laughs, relaxing, and of course the food! We sure missed our families and wished we could have joined in their celebrations. Joshua only mentioned about 20 times how he wished he were able to go to the turkey bowl in Boise.

What Else Have We Been Up To?

Blankie Boys
I swore that I would never let my children become accustomed to a particular blanket and boy have I failed. Even little Eli will crawl into his room, stand up at the crib, and yell until someone comes and gets his blanket for him. Then he snuggles up to it with the biggest smile on his face! By the way, we think Eli has two words: car and dog. We could be crazy of course!


Pop Goes the Weasel
This is German's interpretation of a jack-in-the-box. So, I've never raised another 2 year old, so maybe my perception is off, but German is the most imaginative kid ever. He is constantly coming up with stuff to create or making random connections. And he's officially begun the "why?" stage!


It's Still Warm
We're still hanging out at the park and having a good time (this was taken on Nov. 8th). AZ has some definite perks - it may not feel like fall, but at least we can still take the kids outside anytime we want!

Halloween Fun

We like to encourage a little sibling rivalry by dressing the boys in opposing costumes: German - a cowboy and Eli - an Indian. Aren't they so cute! We went to our ward's Halloween Carnival and it took German a little while to get into the games, but the enticement of candy did the trick! Notice in the collage how much he adores his friend Madison!

Where Have We Been???

We moved! We changed apartments and although our square footage stayed the exact same, our new home is quite the palace thanks to new and smaller furniture and a storage unit! Life is much better being on the bottom floor and enjoying hard wood floors.
