Christmas Pancakes
We couldn't resist making such festive pancakes for breakfast one morning. It started out with one snowman and became baby snowmen and stars, candy canes, Christmas tress. The kids enjoyed eating the heads off the snowmen.
Corbin's 3rd Birthday
Corbin had a Dinosaur Party for his birthday this year. He had some friends over to have cake and ice cream and then we opened presents. The fun continued when we went outside and roasted marshmallows over our fire pit and made smores. Too bad the birthday boy doesn't like marshmallows, but his sister does. Edward and Kelli came to visit this weekend. The kids loved them to death, didn't let them rest at all the whole weekend. We had a fun time with them.
Thank you for the Dinosaurs Grandma and Grandpa Marshall
Ava's Scooting around now
Ava is figuring out how to move around now. She gets up on her knees and does 360's to scope the room out to find things to play with. The kids are helping her out and "teaching" her how to crawl and do tricks. Such good siblings.
Making Sugar Cookies
Alyssa and Corbin helped me make some Christmas sugar cookies for Pack Night for the Cub Scouts. We had fun rolling out the dough and making them into Christmas shapes.
"Rar Rar"
This is one of our family members. Corbin has grown real attached to his best friend "rar rar". He couldn't say Jauguar, so he said "rar rar" and from that moment on we have adapted to that the name "rar rar". He does everything with him, rides bikes, plays games, and they sleep together. They are both very excited to go on a airplane to Kentucky for Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving

Trunk or Treat
Our wards Trunk or Treat was this past weekend. We had Chilli and cornbread for dinner "curbside" and had the kids trunk or treat afterwards. We decorated our trunk by doing our famous spaghetti bowl and candy bowl trick. It gets the kids every time and its fun to see when they put their hands in the wrong bowl. Alyssa was in a hurry to get candy, i had to keep telling her to slow down, its not a race. Corbin figured out or remembered from last year that when you say "trick or treat" they give you candy. He was ready with his bag every time. He was so excited to see his nursery teacher there. He loves her, she is an awesome teacher!

Eating Solids...?
Ava has been watching us eat for a month now on the table in her "bumbo" seat. She has been great about just sitting there and watching and hanging out with the family during meal times. Lately she has been getting excited and if you think her eyes can't get any bigger, they do when she sees us eating. So the other night I gave her some rice cereal with some applesauce and she loved it. I have a mesh feeder too and she went crazy with a banana inside it. So I am thinking she is ready for some "real" food although i have not yet broken down to go buy some....maybe tomorrow?

Spider Hats
Alyssa made this spider hat at school last week and Corbin wanted to play with it. Alyssa being such a good big sister always told him "no, it's mine". So I made him one and he wears it all the time. They both were happier when they each had one to wear....crazy kids!!
Picnic Tables!!!
Brad made us a picnic table last weekend. We are so excited now that it has cooled down we can have a place to eat dinner and hang out. Our last patio table shattered last year while we were out of town so since then we haven't had a place to eat at. So the we were deciding to either get a patio set again or build a picnic table. Brad had a lot of wood on the side of the house already and our neighbor gave us the rest of the wood and instructions to make a table. Bradley had a good time making the big table and did a great job on the project he made a "mini" table for the kids, and one for Charlie for his birthday. (The Hall Family) It turned out so cute!

Carving Pumpkins
We picked out our pumpkin and carved it for FHE this past Monday. The kids had fun getting the seeds out and picking out the face we wanted the pumpkin to look like. They chose a happy face.

Eating Lunch
Alyssa and Corbin loved these big trikes. They had off road wheels so they could go fast on the dirt track. Corbin was happy he could reach the pedals this year, he went around 8 times.
