Shelby on her first day of 7th grade..she is excited to be the oldest in the school this year. As you can see, the sun has not quite come up when she leaves for school, it is soooo early.Tyson on his first day of 4th grade...my baby is soooo big! He likes riding the bus to school..

We have the best kids!! Last Monday was our 14th (holy cow can you believe it??!!) wedding anniversary so we went out...this is what we came home to, super yummy brownies! Thanks Shelby, Tyson and Ellie they were delicious!

Some updated pictures of Ellie (and Andy)...she is a thumb sucker... Mad in the car...

What a mess! Ellie loves ice cream with hot fudge!! (just like the rest of us)

Shelby spent two weeks in Salt Lake at Grandma and Grandpa's then came home and went to girls camp for the first time...she had a blast with all of her friends!!

I am going to do a "quick" update since it has been forever since I blogged. We went to Salt Lake in July and had fun at the Zoo with some cousins...this is Shelby, Ellie and Davin in "Madagascar". Planning out the trail...

Oh no! Where is Tyson's head!!

The babies at the zoo..Ellie and Camdin had fun, but especially when they were walking around.

Shelby, Tyson and Ellie in their Christmas outfits. Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a fun day!

Shelby and Tyson did not want to sit on Santa's lap this year. I thought it was kind of sad. The little kids in line in front of us were so excited but we had to force Shelby to be in this picture, she didn't even talk to Santa ( I guess she will write him a letter?). Tyson did talk to him, but he stood by him. Ellie doesn't know what is going on. We'll have to leave him extra cookies...

We went to Tuacahn for the live nativity. We love to go every year and see the lights. We always have to have hot chocolate to drink while we watch it. It wasn't as cold this year, which was great. We went on the train ride. It was fun! Ellie is the only one that would sit on Santa's lap. I guess she will get what she wants for Christmas....

This is our little present... Ellie's first candy cane, she really likes it!

Grandpa and Grandma watched Ellie while we ran to the store, and this is what we came home to..cute!

We went to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving. This was Ellie's first and she loved seeing all of her cousins and Grandparents. Shelby and Tyson are ready to "dig in" for lots of good food...

We went to visit Grandma Jean in Kamas. It was fun to see you grandma!

We also visited with Grandpa and Grandma Lott, this is the first time they have seen Ellie.

Thanks Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Judy for letting us stay at your house!

Tyson earned his Wolf badge in cub scouts. He has worked really hard all year to meet the requirements. Way to go Tyson!

Halloween Costumes

AAhhhh!! A Skeleton Zombie attack! Our pretty little pirate princess...

Peace! Our hippie and baby skeleton...(Ellie's pajamas)

Three "hip" girls...ready to hit the neighborhood for some candy.

The Zombie is attacking the pirate princess....What a fun Halloween!

Pumpkin Guts

Carving pumpkins for Halloween... Does Tyson look like he is having fun??

My Girls

Shelby and Ellie, just hanging out....aren't they cute! They must get it from their mom!

Roll Over!

Ellie rolled over from her stomach to her back today! Ta da! She is on her back, YAY!! What a big girl!

This is going over....

Piano

This is Shelby and her awesome piano teacher, Heather. She had her second piano recital on Monday, October 20th. Shelby played "Tarantella" and "The Entertainer", she was awesome! We are so proud of how well you are playing, keep up the good work!!

(All of the students dress up in their Halloween costumes so it is not so stressful!)

Pretty Ears

Ellie has her ears pierced! We went to the mall on Friday, October 3rd and had them done. They are so cute! I am so glad we did it! We did white gold diamonds instead of her birthstone (emerald) because they match everything.

The Bears

Tyson started football and is on the Bears team. This is his cool new jersey. Luckily his leg is doing so much better and his Doctor said he could play. He played really well at his first game, he had a lot of "tackles" (flag football).

More pics

More pics of the ride. Andy and Tyson both said it was really pretty scenery, I hope to go on it someday.
