Camilla's Bday

We have a lot of birthdays in November and December. Last week we celebrated my sister Camilla's birthday.

It's always nice to have an excuse to get together with my family. Not that we really need one. We love getting together to eat and play games.

This time Jenn's house was the place to go. Her kitchen is really big. It makes it easy to cook when we are all there.

Of course the food was delicious!!!

The guys playing Settler's of Catan. It's the new thing this year. Every time we get together either Alex or Sam will bring their game.

My mom with Ethan. He's getting so big. It's so fun to watch him crawl around!

Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday. Jenn made a really yummy raspberry cake.

Sarah and Ethan.

Crystal and Issy. They are such good friends. Last week Amos was helping Alex with some stuff at his house. The kids went there everyday with him. Crystal told us it was the best week every! I asked her why and she said:" I got to see Cam and Issy every day!" It was really cute.


Sam brought Ethan's walker and we were all saying how cute he was in it. Daniel decided he wanted to be cute too...lol

Cam's Bday Party

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Cameron's 9th birthday. I can't believe how big he's getting. Time flies after you have kids!!!

Now that he's older we always have a birthday party with just his school friends during the day and dinner with the family.

He decided to go to dinner at Red Robin. He loves ice cream shakes!


Daniel loves playing with Cam. He tries to be a part of everything the big kids are doing.

All the kids eating together.

We took all the kids to Boondocks. All the kids love that place. Amos and I not so much. It is soooo loud! I had a headache after 4 hours of it.

Cam's favorite attraction is the Laser tag. Apparently it was every one's favorite. They spent most of their time there. It made it really easy to keep track of all of them.

Aren't they sooo cute???

Happy Halloween!!!

The kids were so excited to trick or treating this year. Issy kept asking how much longer before trunk or treat. She was counting down the hours.

As usual we had our family over for some food and games. The weather was perfect! The kids had a great time!

We went to the Trunk or Treat at the church to start the night. The kids love going there. They go around the circle of cars a few times and get a lot of treats.


Cameron asked us if we were going to be ordinary people again this year. So we had to dress up. It was kind of last minute, but I think we did pretty good.

Amos' family came trunk or treating with us.

Halloween Recital

Last Tuesday we had Issy and Cam's annual Halloween Recital.
It's always fun to watch them play the songs that they have practiced so much. All the grandparents and their cousin Crystal come and watch them.

Spooktacular!!!

This year we took the kids to the Halloween Party at the gym. They kids had a blast. There were so many things to do. We were planning on just staying for an hour, but end it up staying for about 3 hours.

There was a reptile show. The kids got to see a lot of different snakes, lizards, and etc.

Cameron loved all the big blow up slides and obstacle courses.

Issy riding a pony.

Cameron picked the biggest pumpkin he could find.


Cameron and Felipe had a cookie eating contest. It was hilarious!



We had a great time.

Crystal's 10th Birthday

A couple of weeks ago, my niece Crystal turned 10 years old. To celebrate the whole family went to dinner at Macaroni Grill.

She was so excited for her birthday this year. She finally got the cell phone she wanted. All week long she kept texting every one about her birthday. It was really cute.







The next day we went to her party at Lifetime Fitness. The kids got to rock climb and swim. They had a lot of fun.
