December 2014

The Hinton's introduced us to the Light Parade in Phoenix.  It was a blast!
(An old lady tripped right behind us and her head was all bloody...paramedics came and it was pretty scary/crazy)



Calvin and Dylan made Gingerbread Houses at school



We went on a hike up South Mountain with the Hinton's one night.  What a beautiful view!




One of my favorite things lately is watching the birds outside the window as I do the dishes!  I am a lucky girl!


The Christmas Basket

Lyle setting up the big Christmas surprise


Thank you Grandma Barer!

The Wubble (Cool, but pretty much garbage)

 
Our sweet neighbor Barbara Clerkin spent a lot of Christmas with us!


Enjoying our Christmas surprise!  Go Calvin!!


Sharing our fun with friends always makes everything better :-)


Another Pizza Night with the Hinton's! Best pizza EVER!!! Mmmmmmm....

The kids enjoyed a movie in the Hinton's master bedroom, while the adults enjoyed watching funny video clips in the living room :-) 



Fun at the park 
(I think we were with Magnus and Tammy)



At the Dentist
This was Jordan's first time (I think) getting checked out.
Calvin was the best big brother to show him the ropes and help him get excited about it!





I just LOVE this picture.  I was up on the roof watching the sunset.  I was in aww that I am so lucky to have this view from my rooftop!  Blessed!!


Precious Moment
I love that his moment was captured!  Jordan wants so badly to be big like Calvin, and Calvin so kindly let him be a part of his homework.   I love their faces here...brotherly love...again, I am blessed!!!


At the park (behind Target) with the Driggs again.




Our favorite books from the library



 Leaf Party

We went to return books at the library and as I was driving away I happened to look across the street and see tons of autumn leaves on the ground!  I couldn't help but pull over and insist we have a LEAF PARTY!!!  We stayed for at least an hour and just had a blast with each other!







We went to Jaime's birthday party...the theme was John Cena.  They had a HUGE bounce house.

Someone at the party brought their new puppy and Calvin was so sweet and gentle with him!

Brianna loved Calvin so much!  He always watched out for her and took good care of her!

More fun with the Hinton's 
They were playing dinosaur here...Wyatt was the baby dino and Calvin was very serious about taking care of the sweet little baby :-)

November




 Rolling down the hills at Sherwood Park



The Driggs Came over.  We love having them over. Calvin read to Lineah and Jordan.


Celebrate Good Times...On the Roof!!!
We finished the Book of Mormon so to celebrate, Lyle went out early in the morning to grab some doughnuts, then we woke up the kids and went out on the roof to watch the sunrise!

 




Post Halloween...We's makin' some homemade Pumpkin Pie from scratch baby!!




Vertuccio Farms 
(Calvin's Kindergarten Field Trip)
Love this Blob!!  This is my favorite but they wouldn't let adults jump :(

This was Calvin's Favorite! 
Snack Break




Mrs. Moon's Kindergarten Class

They got to pick out their very own pumpkin at the farm.
It was cute seeing Calvin get off the bus...he looked like such a big boy!

Pizza with the Hinton's



Mommy's Best Helpers!



It is always a special treat for us when Grandma, Grandpa, Joshy, Davey, and Timmy come visit!!



-Rub a dub dub, 3 cuties in the tub-




Our Big 5's




Playing with Chasey Boy at the Hinton's





We had the Hinton's and Morris' boys over during a session of the Temple Dedication :-)
Such Good Lookin' Boys!



The Temple Dedication fell the day before my birthday, so I came home from a session to a decorated house :-)!  Thank you Lyle, Calvin, and Jordan!

For my birthday Cindy and I took the boys to Freestone Park





I just love this picture hehe


Calvin was invited to  birthday party at Bounce-U


Calvin's 1st Play (they call them "Cottages") in Kindergarten
 Mrs. Moon made a special thank you to all of the children.  We had a laugh with this one because Calvin seems to be taking after Lyle's footsteps.



Lyle got rid of our awful sliding door!  YAY LYLE!!! Now we can actually open and close the door!

Daddy's Best Helper!

We love traveling to new planets and playing dinosaurs at the Hinton's!
I would pretend that the atmosphere was not life sustaining, so the boys would have to take off to another planet so I could breathe again (I felt goofy but they loved it haha).
 The First Eggs our chickens ever laid for us!!!  Thanks for finding them Timmy!! So exciting!!!
