Pics of our cutie

Wesley has become so much fun to have around. He has started to reach and grab things in his little hands. He has also started to smile and laugh a lot more now too. His siblings definitely love this little guy, always wanting to be around him.

Bread

Nate and I stole a Lion House cook book from his parents years ago and love to try recipes from there. Nate tried this bread recipe and it turned out fabulous. He did an excellent job on it.

Winter day fun

A few weeks ago we got our first snow storm, it was quite the storm. The night before we got all the snow stuff out and Lexie wanted to sleep in her boots. This little gal does not have a sheet on her bed if you noticed because she has a tendency to take her diaper off. That is the reason for the garbage sack on her pillow :), great gal. Nate and the kids had fun building a snowman and trying to sled down our little hill in back. Yes my crazy husband was wearing shorts, I keep telling him he needs to go buy some pants. A few days later for FHE we went and saw the lights at a local park, it was a great way to spend an evening.

Lexie..what can you say?

Why is it that when you are running late for church, kids find something to get into to make you even later? Nate had left at 7:30 to pick up some of the french members, so it left me to get five of us ready for church. We were almost ready and I walk upstairs and this is what I found. She loves to get into my makeup and usually I lock our bathroom door, so that she can't get into it. I think I started to cry, it had been one of those mornings. Lexie is quite the gal, she is always finding things to get into. I thought that Spencer got into alot of trouble and then Lexie grew up. I thought that our boys were dramatic, but now that she is almost two drama central. Every single day we go through about four meltdowns, because things are not going her way. Chan and Spence know what her buttons are and they push them a lot. It is fun to have a little girl around amongst boys, but sometimes she is a little handful :)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving this year was nice and cozy. We ended up having just the six of us for thanksgiving. We had a nice day filled with watching the parade and enjoying the chaos that is our household.

Dora and Airplanes

Lexie is obsessed lately with Dora the Explorer and airplanes. Every time she hears or sees an airplane we have to stop what we are doing and search for the airplane, it is hilarious. She has one outfit that has Dora on it and she insists on wearing that everyday. Well we were at Sam's a few days ago and happened to come across both in the toy section. Spence is always drawn to toys in every store we are in, and I was trying to hurry as fast as we could to get through. Lexie screams "stop, stop, stop", there on the shelf is a toy airport that talks. So of course we had to play with it and went to leave and she had the biggest meltdown, until we saw a Dora doll. I think we were in the toy section longer than it took us to get the four items we were there to get. Taking three kiddos to Sam's is quite the adventure:). The only way I could get Lexie out of the store was to tell her that Santa would bring her a Dora doll and an airplane. So ever since then she keeps saying, "Santa Dora awplane". I better make sure Santa brings those for her.

Halloween Fun

Last week was full of Halloween parties. Spence had a parade and special snacktime at preschool. Chandler had a parade and party at his school. The boys were sad that they were not able to wear their masks. We all had a party at Nate's work. They do a trick or treat, games, pizza, and desserts. Then on Halloween we had a halloween party at one of our friends houses. And then that night went trick or treating, too bad it was raining. I forgot to get pictures of the friends party and that night, oh well. Chan got a fever on friday night, so he was not able to attend the friends party or go trick or treating. Spence and Lexie got enough to share with him though.
