Our Family Memories

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

The kids and I drove up to Shelley Idaho, where my brother and his family live. We drove up to spend the next 24 hours with them for my brothers birthday and to see their new little addition to the family Elijah. We are twins for a month, so of course I would have the desire to celbrate his birthday with him. We went up to Idaho Falls and saw the temple and "the falls" and some other really beautiful sites in that town. We went swimming in a indoor pool which the kids loved and had an overall great visit. My mom was up there already helping out with things so we got to see her too of course. Thanks for letting us visit....=)

Trip to Arizona

We had lots of fun going to Arizona a few weeks ago. It was good to get the cousins together (on both sides) and see them playing and making memories. We got to see some friends while there too and it was so good to see everyone. Wish we had more time, but thats life sometimes. =(

Colston almost 6 months

He is doing great with weight and height, eating 2 meals a day soon to be 3 here in a few days when mom gets on the ball. He rolls around and scoots everywhere now. Smiles all the time. Couldn't ask for a happier well tempered child. He is getting on his knees and rocking and almost doing a army crawl too. He is quicker than the other kids at this point. I think he is trying to keep up with all the other kids around here. (like trying to play legos with his brother) He started sitting up by himself last week and that has opened a whole new world of opportunites for him. We love this little guy. He is so fun to play with none of us get anything done around here.

Corbin and Legos

This Boy is obsessed with Legos latley. He would not eat and go on no sleep if he could! He is an awesome builder.

Reading Johnny Appleseed

We read the fun story of Johnny Appleseed outside eating apples and carmel for a fun Fall activity.

Going Shooting in the Canyon

Yo Yo Yo, Collie in the house

Eating Solids....

The food Goes in and The food Comes out pretty much! Oh the joys of starting babies on solid foods.

Robot Saturday

Alyssa wanted to make a robot one Saturday and asked me to help with the cutting at first. Then she asked me to do something else and then I got sucked in. I mean if we are going to do a craft we might as well do it with everything we got right! Now that Alyssa was making a cool robot well you got it, the other kids wanted to make one too. So our Saturday morning turned out to be all about Robots. Corbin invented the "stuffed animal" holder on all the robots too. He is awesome like that.
