Getting ready for Christmas

Putting up the Christmas lights was crazy this year!
Kevin went and changed into shorts and a t-shirt 
because of how warm the weather was.
Not normal Thanksgiving weekend weather!


Kade and his best buddy Dax.
They have a love, hate relationship.
For this picture, love.


I had to throw in Jace, 
he is everywhere right now, 
and he was so not happy being confined! 


A little while later 
we finally put up the tree!
Kade and Jace were all about the ladder.


He is so busy, but so cute!


I loved watching Kade and Kevin
putting the star on the tree.


He needed a little bit of help.
And who better to help then Dad!


Kade was so excited when he found a K!


He's getting so big, it makes me sad.
How does it happen so fast?
He loved helping decorate this year.


Now Jace thought it was funner to eat the ornaments!


Jace is helping put on his first ornament.
With Daddy's help he did a pretty good job.


And the final product.


This year we got an elf!
His name is Buddy and he is silly.
Can you see him all the way up by the moose?
Kade loves waking up every morning trying to find where Buddy is next.


And it has got a little colder out.
Kade helped mom go outside and take a picture.


It finally snowed in the valley.
My plan is to get this on a canvas for future Christmas decoration.


Lots more to come of our family Christmas!

Mini Vacation

Earlier in November we went on a 
mini vacation up to Salt Lake City.
The boys loved it!
As I have said before, 
Mommy lets you look out the window naked
when you're on the sixth floor.


On Saturday we went to the Utah game.
It was the first time we took both boys, 
and they were excellent!


They both thought Trax was great!
Kade loved looking out the window telling us 
everything that he saw.


In front of Rice Eccles Stadium.
Love my boys!


Here we are trying to take a family photo!


 The next day we went to 
The boys loved this as well, and were so good!


Running around the Temple grounds.


Kade is so handsome, and always ready for a picture!


Oh how I love them!


We went and saw the Christus.
I love this picture, 
Jace did not stop looking up at Christ.
I think it's because it wasn't that long ago
that he was in His presence.


Our forever family.


With little kids, I think that mini vacations are the way to go!
