Gwendolyn doin the talent show.  She was very sick and should have stayed home.  It was her idea and she put it together with her teacher and wouldnt have stayed home if I tried to make her! 

The Pine Wood Derby

Mitchell cheered just as much for second place as he did when he won first place.  He also cheered for every kid like they had just won the race. 

If ya couldnt tell from the video Mitchell won 1st place.  I dont know if youd find a kid more thrilled to win a Pine Wood Derby!

Halloween 2012

Halloween morning dressed up for school.

Gwens a LaLaLoopsie and Mitchells Harry Potter.

 

 

Gracie as Minnie Mouse!  Poor Gracie had Halloween trauma.  She wore her costume to pick up the kids from school.  Sometime from after school till 4 she lost her ears.  She was devastated,  We tore our tiny house apart trying to find the ears.  She cried and cried and was heartbroken.  We jumped in the van and ran into every Target and Halloween store until we could find some sort of mouse ears!  After about an hour and a half we found some and Halloween was saved!

 

Here is Gwendolyn as Jewel Sparkles.  I have no idea where she gets the posing!

 

Harry Potter!  Mitchell has been wearing his costume for awhile now! 

 

 

 

Harry Potter and his owl Hegwig.

Everly was in Heaven!  The first time someone dropped candy in her bucket she was a happy girl.  She walked and walked and when she was tired of walking she held her bucket in the stroller saying "twick or treat". 

We went to our ward trunk or treat then went with our Brimhall friends out for some more candy.  One of the house had set up a stage and red carpet in their driveway.  They had lights, smoke machine and a DJ.  All four kids ran up on stage and danced like crazy. 

 

We had a pretty good Halloween!

I have never seen much resemblance between my girls.  Untill I found this picture.  I had to stare and study, and if I didnt have the date on the picture I still might not know with 100% who this is.

Memorial weekend

Over Memorial Weekend my mom, dad, sister, brother in law and brother came to visit us.  We love it when my family comes to visit.  The fun things we go do, the time spent together and the extra hands entertaining kids at church ( easiest sacrament meeting we have had in along time!).   I also love it cause I get pictures like these.  Thanks Carolyn for taking the time and risking your camera around the pool to take pictures. 

This is a picture of Everly taken, shortly after her birth, by Devens cell phone.  He then texted it to family.  Since then we have switched phones and hadnt really given thought to what pictures we had on our phones.  15 months after Everly was born my sister still had this picture on her phone, and sent it to me.  Once again my sister is saving my kids from a picture- less existence!  Thanks Carolyn.

While I am posting about Everly I just have to say that she is tiny.  At almost 15 months she weighed exactly 19 pounds.  She wears 12 month clothes but can still fit into some 6-9 month.  In this house these stats are unheard of. 

Talent Show

Mitchell tried out for the school talent show, and then got a "call back"(what elementary school has call backs?).  Tonight was the talent show.  The place was packed, Deven, me and the three little girls squeezed into the middle of a row.  We had been there about ten minutes when Everly started throwing up all over-over and over again.  We got the floor cleaned up and moved to standing in the back.  Anyhow..Mitchell did a great job.  I missed the first few seconds and Dad helped him break the board in the end but all in all it was a success and Mitchell was very happy
