Thanksgiving

 

We flew to Utah over Thanksgiving. It was lots of family fun time. Luckily we have really good happy fliers.

 

 

Of course we had to stop at In-N-Out Burger since we don't have one in Colorado.

 

 

 These three had lots of fun getting into trouble and making messes.

 Addy and Baylee really bonded over this trip. The last time they were together they didn't get along very well so it was nice to see them playing well together.

And what is Thanksgiving without a big family photo. I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I planned too. We were having too much fun.

Fun Times and a Broken Elbow

 Our friend Lesha asked us to get a year pass with her to Wildlife Experience. The kids really enjoyed seeing the animals. It had snowed the night before and it was soo cold so it was nice to get out of the house and do something that the kids enjoyed.

 Later that day while I was at work, Addy fell off of a chair at Lesha's house and fractured her elbow. This is her attire as we were leaving the ER. They have a special pediatric ER and many volunteers donate wonderful stuff. They gave her the hat and the awesome tutu. She was such a trooper and was so brave.

While we were in Utah we took her down to Primary Children's to have her hard cast put on. Her cousin Cody was the first one to sign it. It is now covered in signatures.

Happy Halloween

Halloween started a few days early this year. The mall I work at does trick or treating the weekend before so we got the kids all dressed up and took them out. They had a blast and brought home enough candy to fill our basket. The morning of Halloween we played outside for a bit before meeting Chris at his work for a party.

 

 I love her face in this picture.

 

 Chris dressed up as Batman this year. Brock was Chris' shadow while we were at the nursing home. It was so cute. Addy on the other hand was a little nervous. I think some of the residents scared her.

 

 Oh he is so handsome!

 Most of the people that dressed up at Chris' work.

That night we took the kids trick or treating for about a half hour. It wasn't very cold but it was super windy. The wind picked up when we were heading home and it knocked Addy over into someone's yard. Overall it was a great Halloween and the kids had a great time.

Pope Farms

I found a groupon for Pope Farms and we decided to make a day of it. It was pretty muddy since it had just snowed a couple of days before but the kids still had a great time and we got some good pumpkins. 

 

 

 Addy loved the cow train, Brock on the other hand wasn't too sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 The kids loved running through the pumpkin patch. We found the perfect pumpkins for the kids.

 Jumping on the trampoline thing they had. Addy loved it. She accidently ran into a little boy but he was ok.

 There was some train tracks right next to the farm and whenever a train would go by, Addy would run up and hang on for dear life. She was not a fan of the loud whistle on the train.
