Thanksgiving 2016

Its funny how their are some times where i really never take any pictures of the holidays! This thanksgiving Candice and her family came so we went up the day before for dinner and then ended up staying til the day after thanksgiving. Mason had gotten a double ear infection so we decided to not come to our house on thanksgiving like planned! our kids were pretty bummed because we cleaned a ton to get ready and bought pizza from papa murphys so to not have them come was sad but we understood!

Grant and coleton are always buds, Lanie and hayden are quite the pair, and Madi and Mason seem to fight over the same toys :) Brooklyn likes to stick close to grace who gives her attention and Kenzie and Kate tend to play with whomever is available!

They played and played and then when we headed home the kids were so exausted they just layed on the couch the rest of the day!

Family Pictures 2016

Election Day

I am completely embarrassed to even write it but this is the first time i have ever voted! I have never even registered to vote before today! I have never been much into politics and honestly most of the people that get put in i am content with, i feel like they try to do their best but with such a controversial presidential election i felt like this was one of those times i needed to have my voice heard so i registered to vote and went and voted!

 I voted for Evan McMullin because honestly i thought he would do the best job, i didn't really think he would win but i wanted to vote for who i wanted the most and it was him! Sadly i didn't get who i was hoping for and i am kind of nervous for the next four years and where Donald Trump is going to take us but he is our next president so i might as well get use to it!

 

Brandons New Truck

After a long time looking, he has finally found his truck!! Its a Toyota Tundra!! Its in great shape and the guy he bought it from has maintenance record for everything thing that was ever done and it look brand new! He needs it to be a good young men's president is what he says but i think he just needed a good excuse but now camping and hauling wood wont be in my van so i am a happy women!!

Halloween 2016

This year for halloween i had to run between the two schools to help! The boys had their halloween parade at 1:30 and then Brooklyn had her parade at 2:30 so i ran quickly to both and then made it back to pickup the boys at 3:00 after school was out! This year we had a vanpire minion, Orange Ninja turtle, Elsa, Anna, and olaf! They had a great time and we loved beiing able to go trick or treating with the kids! Brandons parents and grandma were able to come walk with us which made it nice to be able to break off with the older ones who wanted to go fast and let a few hang back with the slow ones! All in all it was a great night!
