Hello Leaves...

I love our big trees...except in the fall!  I have seriously raked so much lately that I should have huge biceps!!!  The only plus is that the kids have so much fun playing in them! 

Brecken likes to mess up my piles..So I rake leaves into a pile and when I am not looking he takes handfuls and chucks them back into the yard!

"OHHHH Leaves" I am really not sure what this crazy face is???

 HE LOVES LOVES LOVES to pretend to shoot things with his "guns" or sticks!  His favorite toy is for sure a stick!

I have been trying to get this girl used to hats before it is super cold...This was the longest span she wore one for..a whole like one minute!

 Always has a dirty face!

I love her!  She is so much fun!  I miss her now that she spends most of her day in school! 

Growing Up :(

This is kind of her face..pretty much all the time ( as long as she has mommy!)  She seriously has such a round face!  I LOVE IT!

She looks so sweet in this pic!

She has discovered how to take the book off the self!  Which is very entertaining for her!

Wrestle Time

Everyone loves wrestle time...Even Bryners is starting to join!  She plays get Daddy's nose!  It is pretty cute!~

THE HAT

This is one of MJ's most important possessions along with the matching gloves. He wears them everywhere..no matter what the temperature outside is, even if his head is dripping wet with sweat.

                                 I hid it just so he wouldn't wear it in church.

Banana Head

On Yo Gabba Gabba there is a son about bananas and they rock out about bananas so whenever MJ hears it hears it he has to have a bananas with it!

What?

MY crazy son is reading a book...Really he was just making a mess.

More Mamma Mia

Yes that is my son who happens to be wearing a dress!  He can't dance without a dress that spins.  Miss J has become a little woman who loves to wear high heels.  My take is whatever it takes for them to get along!

Outside Fun

 More time in the stroller...Yes this girl get heavy so when we are outside I put her in a stoller! 

Ok so it was soooo hot this day..So I decided because he had to wear a sweater I should at least let him get wet! He LOVED it!  He made it rain, but his favorite was to squirt himself.  I love his open mouth scream that he does when he is having fun!

Fall???

Bryn just chills in her strollers..and watches MJ be a crazy boy.

OOPS...I forgot to wipe her boogers up!!!

So in September when it is supposed to be autumn it was like 70 degrees! It was beautiful and yet for some reason my crazy son has to wear a sweater and his hat...we got lucky this day and he didn't need his gloves!  He is so crazy about what her wears!  It has to be either basketball shorts or sweatpants, a shirt without a tag, and a zip up hooded sweatshirt!  Wow..I thought girls were bad!

Fingers

This little girl loves to chew on things!  I can seriously vacuum and she will still find something and put it straight into her mouth!  Luckily she just likes to chew on it...I have found all kinds of things in her mouth, probably not something to be proud of but man it is hard with two other ones who leave their stuff everywhere!

BFF'S

Here is little JJ and her BFF Torr Torr...They are soo funny together I love listening to the funny things that they talk about, like who they are going to marry for instance!

And A Chef

Along with tools MJ loves to cook!  Anytime I am in the kitchen he is usually right at my heels!  He always wants to help dump things into the bowl and of course lick it!  It's funny because he is actually licking zucchini in this picture!  I would puree the zucchini for like cakes and breads..

Mr. Fix It

If you ever find yourself in need of a handy man I have one right here!  Little MJ loves to fix things!  In this case he thought that the chair needed to be fixed!  If the toys aren't working he grabs himself a screw driver and some batteries and tries to fix them.  I hope he continues his love for tools!

JJ's First Talk

JJ had her very first talk in Primary!  It was if ye love me keep my commandments!  She came up with a whole bunch of ways we can show our Heavenly Father that we love him!  I was so proud of her!  We found pictures in the friend of pictures that went with how she felt we could express our love! I was really proud of the work she put into it!  Even though it was only like 3 minutes. It was really cute!

Garden Favorites

I was brave this year and planted a garden!! I was really interested in letting the kids help as much as possible.  So let them pick out some of the seeds and help me plant them. We had loads of tomatoes!  I made chili, salsa and spaghetti sauce!  We got freezer loads of zucchini! But the kids each had their favorite thing!  Brecken was in love with the pumpkins and JJ loved the sunflowers!  The deer loved my zucchini!

MR. Naughty

Quiet is never good...I thought we had finally got to a point where Brecks could go play on his own without getting into trouble....So as i was putting the dishes away really enjoying the quietness of it, I then realized it was a bit too quiet!  So as I walked past the bathroom to little MJ's room I saw him painting his nails...and everything else!  There was nail polish everywhere!  He climbed on to the sink and got into the medicine cabinet.  When I came in fuming he sat there nicely and said "Oh look prettys!"  Way to lighten the moment bud.

Siblings

I love love love when they all are getting along and having fun with each other!  So I try to take pictures anytime I see it!  Brecken and Jaylee get along best when they are being naughty together..which is kind of cute sometimes.

Fun At Grandma's

 JJ shaves with Grandpa every morning and puts on cologne!~

the kids love to go to Grandma's and Grandpa's, they get spoiled with love and food..There is always snacks there they they love!!  I am not sure why I never have any pics with my mom in them, but she is there!  Brecks just loves helping grandpa with his tools!

This Girl....

 She LOVES to take care of Bryners!

This girl is sassy, loving, generous, caring and beautiful!  Jaylee has such an amazing spirit about her.  She cares so much for people and their feelings that it just doesn't seem right that a five year old who even recognizes when someone is sad.  At school there is a little girl Allison that cries almost everyday and JJ's teacher told me that JJ always tries to console her everytime she cries.  Today she asked if we could take food to poor people and help them!  I hope that I am able to help her keep this specialness about her, I hope that she will continue to be this compassionate throughout her life.  She is also a wonderful big sister! (To Bryn...MJ not so much!)

No More Trainers!

Back in September Mark taught JJ how to ride her bike without any training wheels!  I was so nervous that she was going to eat it, but to my surprise she got on that bike and rode it like it was nothing new!  I am amazed at her ability to catch on to things! 

Crawling!!!!

On August 24th Bryners started to crawl!  It was kind of a sad moment for me because that is on crawl closer to not being my little baby!  It has been fun to watch her inch around though!  She first started crawling like an inch worm.
