Disney On Ice!

Reesey kept coming over and she and Beck would just squeeze and kiss eachother. Too cute!

Brandt, Beck (nice smile there buddy) and Londy

I'm absolutely in love with this picture. I love the lenghts Matt goes to make this girl laugh!

Not the greatest family picture, but in a dark arena, it'll have to do!

Matt and Pippi. Look at her ginormous cheeks!!!

Last night was Disney on Ice! We ended up with a pretty big group going (22) so it was super fun! We ate at the Crown Burger, then walked to the venue. The theme was Disney Princesses, so the older boys and dads were less than thrilled, but I think it was super cute! The girls were mesmerized. I loved watching my kids faces as they were watching the show. Priceless! On the way out, we let the kids each pick out a prize. Beck chose a pair of binoculars shaped like those eels from the Little Mermaid, and London again chose a freaking $12 snowcone in a cheap princess cup. I did put my foot down to the $20 spinny things and the $22 plastic sword. The price we pay for memories! At least the kids had a blast!

Halloween 2009!

It was another great Halloween! It was especially fun for London and Beckett because they were both able to celebrate at school. Beck had a cute preschool costume parade and party, and London had her first Kindergarten parade and classroom party. I was able to help out with London's class party, and was in charge of the craft. We made super cute spider door hangers/treat holders with the kiddos. I loved being part of her class party! So fun! London was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Beck was Batman, and Piper was a little ladybug. Too cute!

London and her kindergarten teacher!

Getting the "parade wave" down pretty well!

Londy passing out treats to her class!

Halloween day, we celebrated at Grandma Jilly's annual bash. There was a TON of great food, and we met up with family and friends to hang out, eat, and trick or treat with the kids. We seriously only hit about a dozen or so houses, and I love that we didn't bring home a ton of candy! The kids had a blast! Piper was about the cutest little ladybug, ever! She was fine with the puffy costume, but wasn't thrilled with the hat. I could just eat her!

Proof that I was there! Jenny and I showed up in the same hoodie. Cool, I know...

Emma and London!

Beck's New Suit!

Beckett has a new suit! What a little stud! He walks around asking anyone and everyone, "So, do you love my new suitcase?" Too cute! Twice now, we've put him down for bed/naptime, and he's been fully dressed in the suit when we come to get him up! I love this little guy!

Serious Bed Head!

Pippi woke up this morning with some serious bed-head! I just LOVE this little munchkin! Remember when she was little??? I barely do! She's getting so big, so fast! She's got a double chin that is about 5 times the size of her actual chin! She's completely squishable!!!

Crazy Busy Week!

It's been a super fun, crazy week! First of all, my Londy-bug is officially riding a 2 wheeler! She's been bound and determined not to ride with training wheels anymore, and she's doing great! She and Matt practice a lot in the cul-de-sac. She's getting way too big, way too fast!

Beck had his first preschool fieldtrip this past week. Matt and I went with him to the local pumpkin patch. Beck was so cute answering all the questions he could from the farm workers. He had to pick out the "perfect pumpkin" but refused to let me take his picture with it! There was so much for the kiddos to do there. He had a great time on the giant slide, the train, and looking at and trying to feed all the animals!

Last Sunday, York and Jenny blessed the twinners. Since twins were all the rage, I decided it was a great day to dress the girls in matching outfits. They were so, so cute! Sadly, my camera was on a funky setting, so the cute pictures I took didn't turn out so well! Bummer. Imagine the picture isn't blurry!

London had a fieldtrip this week to the same pumpkin patch that Beck went to. I was so excited to go with her class, but Beckett started running a high fever during the night, and so I ran him to the doctor's office to have him tested for the swine flu. Luckily, it was negative, but he still had some virus that made him whiny for a few days. We're just praying that little Pip-ster doesn't catch any of the bugs going around.

We spent this Saturday night up at Matt's stepdad's timeshare at Snowbird. We decided not to stay overnight, but went up to hang out and let the kids swim and play with their cousins. The kids had a great time! Just wish I had taken my camera to capture the fun!

First of MANY Pumpkin Patches!

Saturday, we took the kiddos and went to a local pumpkin patch with my Grandpa Payne. The farm belongs to a friend of his, so every year he brings us millions of pumpkins. This year we decided to let the kids pick them. They had such a great time! London only gets to dress herself on Saturdays and other non-school/non-church days now, so she always tries to make a statement wherever she goes. Hence the completely non appropriate pumpkin picking outfit! I absolutely LOVE the picture below. My kids love seeing my grandpa, and love even more that he can always find something "hiding" in their ears. This day, he found a pack of gum. I love the look on Londy's face! Beck played most of the time in my uncle's truck. He's easily entertained! We love fall!

Conference Weekend Random Pics

Okay, look at this face! She is just so squishable!

Conference weekend was so great! I took some fun pictures of the baby. And Matt.

How typical is the "conference sleeping picture!?!" Matt during the Saturday afternoon session. In his defense, he claims it was only so he could stay awake during the Priesthood session. Yeah, not buying it...
