What have we been up to? Well, we will start with Jaxon. Mom got to go to parent teacher conference with Jaxon. He is doing well. His teacher Mrs. Rasmussen said that he is a very good listener and helper. She has really enjoyed having him in her class. Jaxon is in SEP and Jr. Great Books and loves both of them. He is also playing basketball and is really good. Brynn is loving Joy School and is so smart. She loves to do workbooks. She is writing, sounding out and reading words. She loves to learn. Brynn will be performing in a couple of weeks for Ballet. She loves her costume and wants to wear it everyday. Avery is so cute. She says the funniest things. She loves to copy everything Brynn does. Avery loves to dress up like a ballerina and play in the bathtub with her mermaids. She is constantly trying to pick up her baby brother. She loves him so much. Wyatt is 10 months today! Wyatt is crawling everywhere, especially up the stairs. He can say Ma Ma, Da Da, and Ba Ba. He has the cutest wave! He really is a good baby. We have all had the cold around our house. It has lasted forever. I think we are over it for now.

Thanksgiving was spent at Russell's Aunt Georgia's and Uncle Lewis' house in Bluffdale. We had a great time with his family. Marcus and James stayed with us over the weekend. The boys all went to Harry Potter on Saturday. Thank you Marcus for watching the kids Friday night so Russ and I could go to the gym. We also went back out to the Chadwicks on Saturday for Rachels birthday. It was fun celebrating with her. We got a lot of snow of Sunday. This is the just the beginning.

Oh, and I can't forget that I ran my first 5K on Thanksgiving morning. Me and my friend Debbi have been training for about a month now. Our goal is to run the St. George 1/2 Marathon in the Spring. It really has been fun!

Happy 14th Anniversary Russ!!

Happy 14th Anniversary Russ! I trully am grateful for my husband. There are many times when it has not been easy, but it has been worth it! I can say that Russ and I both have come a long way and still have a long way to go. He has taught me to not take life to seriously. Russ has also taught me Love and Patience. I love that Russ loves his children. Russ works hard at providing for his family and wants the best for all of us! His goal is to make sure that his family is happy. I also love Russ for working on our marriage daily. He is always trying to find ways to make my life easier! I love everyday we have been married (even if they weren't the easiest days)! I am excited for what is to come in the next 14 years! Love you Hun!

Trunk or Treating

Our Jack-o-lantern pizza we made

This year for Halloween our Ward did something different. We had a Trunk or Treat at our church. I know we are behind with the times but, better let then never. They weather was a little rainy but nothing like what was to come. The kids and I arrived at the church and decorated our trunk. Then my neighbor Zoe took my kids around to the trunks while I handed out candy. Russ stayed home with Wyatt because he was asleep. Jaxon was dressed as a scary skeleton, Brynn was Supergirl, Avery was Batgirl, and Wyatt was our Skunk. The kids got plenty of candy so I thought we wouldn't have to go around the neighborhood later since it was down pouring with rain. Oh no, the kids still wanted to go even though it was raining. So we did and we were drenched. We went around the block then stopped at Dave's house for Hot Dogs, Hot Chocolate, Scones, and a warm fire. Then headed home. All the kids wanted to get in a warm bath so they did and then I put them to bed around 7:30. Awesome, until Brynn woke up saying her stomach hurt and she needed a bowl. I thought here we go, but I think she was just trying to find a excuse to sleep by me. I guess that is better than cleaning up throw up right? Jaxon wanted to go back to Daves house with Russ so I let him. Everyone said that it stopped raining and ended up being a great night. The kids got plenty of candy and loved every rainy minute of trick or treating!

So here's the stats on Wyatt's 9 month Appointment: He is 24lbs, and is in 97-98% for height and weight and head size. He is definitely a Wilding! Wyatt pulled himself up for the 1st time on Sunday and has now accomplished climbing the stairs. I thought I was busy before, now is were the real work begins. I won't be able to get anything done in fear of him falling down the stairs. It's just a phase right? This to shall pass!
