Once there was a Snowman...

Yeah!! We made a snowman yesterday after church. Taylor's primary teacher told her that this is perfect snow and that you should go right home and tell your mom and dad that you need to make a snowman today!! So "Literal Taylor" HAD to make a snowman yesterday and loved it. Cade was content to watch from a distance and laugh at the dogs fighting in the snow. It is pretty fun to see the looks on our kids faces when we do these new adventures in our life, they are really fun little people.
Giving the snowman a hug and kiss.

Cade insisted that he wear his hat, we had just finished watching the rodeo on T.V. so he was being cowboy Cade.

Taylor made tons of snowangels yesterday, they were so pretty. All of her winter fantasies were all coming true yesterday until she told me that I have to teach her to ice skate like the girl in one of her movies. The problem is I have NEVER been ice skating in my life so that will have to wait for a while.

My other two special children. Dexter and Cowboy can always stay together as long as we have an abundance of sticks for them to play with.

Happy Halloween!!

WOW!! Happy Halloween. Can you guess that Cade is "THE MECHANIC" and Taylor is TAYLOR SWIFT?!

I think the getting dressed up part was more fun for my kids than the trick-or-treating!!

Taylor took along her Taylor Swift doll and playing the love song and sang along, we had to have everything exactually the same as Taylor Swift. I got is trouble because we didn't have high heeled white sandals for Taylor to wear, but she loved twirling around a showing off. I thought she was VERY cute.



The Mechanic. I told Jesse when we got Cade ready that he wasn't dressed up enough because he usually is this dirty just by the end of the day of playing. Cade thought he was hilarious and he carried his drill all around and poked people with it. He is so silly!


After we did the trunk or treat we hurried and jumped in the car because the wind was blowing and it was pretty cold. My kids already had a few pieces of candy in their mouths and a couple in their hands. SUGAR!!





Playing in the Leaves!

Taylor and Cade were trying to bury Cowboy in the leaves. Cowboy is an amazing dog to put up with all the the toture that these two inflict on him on a daily basis.
Cade wasn't as sure about playing in the leaves as Taylor is liked to haul them all around the yard.

Taylor loved throwing them in the air. (She is getting to be such a big girl, way to fast.)


Taylor throwing leaves all over her poor little brother.


Smile Cheese for the Camera!!
I have such a hard time keeping pictures updated I have no problem taking all of them but other than that I struggle so I update the blog every couple months when I get a few seconds.





Carving Pumpkins and Mom's Helper

The Finished Products, what a project!
Cade thought this was a great project because it was MESSY.

Taylor was such a hard little working pumpkin carver, Cade was just really excited.


Cade helping me haul all the leaves off the backyard.



Cade hiding in the pile of leaves. (Taylor was napping when we were hard at work)





Weekend at Gma and Gpa Nelson's

Taylor rode Earl all by herself all night and she was so proud of herself.

Taylor and Gpa Ned!



I found this awesome shirt at Shopko and I wanted to buy it so bad, but it isn't the most professional thing to wear, but I would have definitely worn it when I went shopping at Walmart! HAHA!

Trip to Hogle Zoo.

Taylor and I at the gate of Hogle Zoo with he new giraffe named Hogle Zoo. So we now have a stuffed giraffe named Hogle Zoo and a stuffed horse from Sea world named Sea World. Jesse likes these names because he doesn't forget them and get in trouble from Taylor.

Taylor and Jesse at the Camels.

WOW!! We found the MERRY-Go-ROUND. I tell you what our kids love these dang things and we had to ride the Giraffes.


Taylor and the Giraffes!! The moment we walked in the door we had to see the giraffes she could have really cared less that we saw the elephants and monkeys because we needed to find the giraffes and then we sat and watched them eat a branch for a long time. She was thrilled.



Grandma Jan and he new found friend. They were communicating, Taylor wasn't sure she wanted to talk to the gorilla.





Playing in the Flowers.

My oldest and most obedient child, Cowboy!!
But these two are the CUTEST little things. I took these pictures of the kids because they are wearing their new outfits that their Uncle Colton brought them back from Hawaii and they are really cute.

Another fun picture.


Picture of my flowers, one evening after I had just watered and washed off the front porch.



One more flower picture.





Taylor and HER Horses!

The Classic little girl and her horse picture.

Giving Chief loves, doesn't he look thrilled?!

Riding Rocky on a cool breezy day, he was a little snorty, but he does really good with Taylor. Jesse just had a keep ahold of the lead rope the whole time.


Little Cade on Chief, he thinks everything is quite entertaining.


My Cute Kids!!





Camping Trip to City of Rocks

Aren't they all so cute with their helmets on?! It makes me feel good that we are trying to be safe and the kids liked wearing them. Cade's head is already very large and then to add the helmet makes him almost fall over.

Taylor trying to save her candy bar from the hungry hound!

The classic camping picture!! I took this when Cade was at his dirtiest! He had just finished eating a twix and he had been rolling in the dirt all day. He also had taken a few header off into the rocks. Isn't he just so adorable?


We went on a little hike at the Castle Rocks, these are pretty amazing to look at.

Lots of Disneyland Pictures

When we walked in the door at Disneyland the first day, Mickey Mouse was there to greet all of us. We were pretty excited.
Family Picture with Goofy. Fits in great!

Cute kids, they just fit in with the scene.


DIsneyland had a really awesome parade at night and all of the charactors danced and rode around it was really fun and our kids loved it. ( I loved it as much or more, but I can blame it on the kids for all the stuff I made them do.)


Taylor's FAVORITE ride. She loved It's a Small World!! I liked it too the first two times. It was a nice ride because we got to sit down for awhile and ride around.
