Kids pictures

I am redoing my picture wall for probably the 4th time (darn you pinterest with all your wonderful ideas!). So we went out to the ranch and took pictures of the boys and then I had some of Lilah that fit right in. So I thought I would share. And when I get done with my wall and actually get them hung up I'll share that too! Mike had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago so I may have to wait a little while until he can help me get them on the wall above the stairs. But here are the ones I chose to use.

 Its so fun to see all my kids interact with each other and how much they really do love each other through all the screaming and fighting and how much Joel and Conner love their sister.

Lilah's Blessing

Lilah had a wonderful blessing from her daddy on the first Sunday in November. It was a wonderful day. I always have such a great appreciation for Mike and the priesthood that he holds. Lilah was blessed to be healthy, to have a strong testimony of the gospel, to have a rosy disposition, and to find a righteous young man to marry in the temple. I love seeing a glimpse into the wonderful lives my children will lead and its fun to remember the things said as they have begun to develop into the people they are becoming.

 This is Lilah with four of her grandmas. She is a very lucky girl to have 6 wonderful grandmas in her life.

 These are a few pictures of Lilah in her blessing dress.

Halloween

I'm playing catch up! If anyone has any ideas on how to stay on top of everything with three kids let me know ;)! Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Joel was so excited to get all that candy and trick or treated like a pro!

We carved pumpkins with my mom and dad and sister and brother and sister in law. It was a lot of fun and very messy! Here is Mike and Joels finished pumpkin.

 Joel spent forever, after he was done helping Mike, carving (or mutilating) his own pumpkin all by himself. It was so cute to watch him.

 Our attempt at a family picture!

 This is how Conner spent the evening... being almost 2!

 

On Halloween the boys were dragons and Lilah was a princess. I made their costumes and it was fun to see them actually turn out! We braved the cold and went and got lots of candy! Conner didn't like it at first but about 1/2 way through got the hang of it. 

I found matching skeleton PJ's for the three of them that glow in the dark. The boys thought they were the coolest!

 Here is our princess

 Our dragons and princess!

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!
