Disneyland!

We were able to go to Disneyland before Christmas. A big thanks to Justin's family for helping us out! We had so much fun! The kids still talk about it. Peggy got a us breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen and lunch at Ariel's Grotto. We were able to meet so many characters and had yummy food! Thanks Peggy and Shane, Kim, Sydney and Nicole! We had a great time!

Christmas fun

Gavin is so funny sometimes. He thought he needed a bandaid on a little sore he had.




Here are a few pictures from trying to take pictures for Christmas cards and from Blake and Cody's Christmas program. They were taken from very far away so they're not the greatest.

Blake's B-day and Halloween

Ok so I am A LOT behind! Let's see if I can get caught up. It may take a while....So Blake had his 10th birthday. He had a friend party at the pool with one of his friends with the same birthday. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of that, but the kids had a lot of fun! We did a little family party at Grandma Crick's. He got too many good gifts. The kids got to play a few games...pumpkin bowling, pin the nose on the pumpkin and pumpkin toss. I think they had a good time.







The kids had a good Halloween. They had a lot of fun dressing up!





Isn't our little cow the cutest?

For Halloween we actually carved some pretty awesome pumpkins. I have to say they turned out a lot better than I thought they would!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Paige wanted to sing her song for you. She learned it in preschool and loves to sing it all day.


Cody finished playing soccer and here are a couple pictures.

Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted last. Soooo many things have happened. I'm sure I won't be able to remember them but I will try. I'll start with June. We were able to go to Greer with Justin's family. Peggy got us all a couple of nights in a really nice cabin. Unfortunately we were only able to stay 1 night before we got evacuated because of the Wallow fire. Things got pretty crazy during the fire. We were able to have Peggy stay with us and my family stayed at Jana's. We had lots of fun playing games and hanging out. Somewhere in there Cody played t-ball. He had lots of fun and looked like a pro. At the end of the month, we went to Grand Junction, CO for the Crick family reunion. That was a lot of fun. We did a lot of sightseeing on our way up and down but we lost most of our pictures from June because our SD card got messed up. We went up through Ouray and stopped to see waterfalls and sit in the hot springs in the middle of town. We took the kids to see the dinosaur museum in Fruita. They thought was really neat. It was fun getting to see all relatives I don't get to see very often. The kids had a good time. On the way back we went through Telluride and then took the kids to see the 4 corners. Here are a couple of pictures we managed to save. They're from the end of the trip, Telluride and Four corners.




The 4th of July was fun, as always. Except, Show Low didn't have fireworks because it was so dry. Justin and a couple of his friends did the Wild Cow Riding in St. Johns for the 24th. That was fun to watch. They had to rope a cow and saddle it, then ride it to were they were supposed to finish. They had theirs roped and saddled first but they just couldn't get the cow go to go where they wanted it to. It was fun though!


Then in August we had 2 birthdays. Paige turned 4 and Gavin turned 2.





Blake is playing football again this year. He's been doing really well. He's been playing wide reciever and seems to like it. Cody is really wanting to play. We tried to get him to when we signed Blake up but Cody didn't want to then. So far, Blake's team has won all their games.

It's been so long since I've updated this I'm not sure I can remember everything. I will start with Blake. He's playing baseball this year and is doing really well. They have a pretty good team. They have only lost 2 games and they were to the same team. I don't have any pictures yet but I will post them once I get some. He is also signed up for football this year. He finished 3rd grade. I can't believe he'll be in 4th grade next year!

Cody just finished kindergarten. He had a little celebration where they sang a few songs. It was really cute. He's so excited to be in 1st grade next year. (So am I!)He will be playing t-ball next month and soccer after that.
Paige just finished her first year in preschool. She loved it! It was nice to be able to ask what she learned and have her tell me instead of saying "I don't know" like my boys. She's alot of fun and can be super cute, although she definitely has her moments.


Gavin is growing up so fast. He's really starting to develop a personality. He can be so much fun. He's such a monkey. He loves to climb and get into stuff. It's amazing how much trouble he can get into!
T
oday we took the kids out in the woods for a picnic. It was pretty windy so we didn't get to do much but we did see 2 bull snakes. The boys loved it!
