Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was awesome!! Aunt April, Uncle Dean, Sam and Ben came to visit. We had not seen them since Kason was a baby!! Since Aunt April is an amazing cook, the food was amazing!! Uncle Dean cooked an awesome Brined turkey, yummy!! Brigham did not want to eat turkey, only BIG chicken. He was happy to eat the "big chicken".

Marshall liked the pie the best, as you can tell by his face!!
Our boys LOVED playing with their older cousins! They thought they were AWESOME (Brigham and Kason's new favorite word.)
Brigham wanted to climb the tree too, but he is not quite big enough yet. Such cool big cousins!
The day after Thanksgiving we went to feed the fish at the marina. Sam caught a carp! EW!! Well, his example made Marshall more brave.
Marshall touched one for the first time!! EW!!



Kason had fun too!! But, instead of feeding the fish, he fed himself!! One for the fish, 2 for him!!

Sylvie watched all the fun from her sling ling. Next year Sylvie, next year!!

Four Months!!

It is hard to believe our little Sylvie is 4 months already!! In honor of this occasion I will list 4 of Sylvie's amazing attributes:

1. She started rolling front to back at 3 months and now she rolls back to front too!! Waay earlier than the boys!! She likes to scratch the surface she is rolling on. She likes to scratch everything!! It's hard to keep up with those nails!!

2. She sleeps through the night. Before the time change she went to bed between 8 and 9. After the time change her bed time gradually kept getting earlier and earlier. She now goes to sleep between 6 and 6:30 and wakes up at 6. This is so nice!! Tj and I went on our first real date (rode the New York New York roller coaster and got creme brule) in months!! We are so happy she is a good sleeper.

3. She is so happy!! Her laugh is infectious and so is her cooing. She really only cries when she is tired or hungry!! She loves her pacifier. She doesn't make a peep when it's in her mouth!!

4. She is the easiest baby we've ever had. I took her with me to a Speech Therapy Seminar I needed to attend. I got dirty looks when we first got there because nobody could believe I would bring a baby!! But, by the end everyone admitted their fears (and to giving dirty looks) and said they had never seen such a well-behaved baby. She also LOVES the sling ling Aunt Michaun gave her. I take it with me everywhere we go. It really does make life so much easier!! We love our little Sylvie so much and still can't believe she is 4 months. Where does the time go??

Soccer

Tonight was the last game of soccer this season. Marshall and Kason were on the same team (the tigers) which was really fun!! Marshall is number 8, and Kason is number 4. They had alot of fun this year!! Marshall scored 4 goals during this game! Marshall LOVES throwing the ball in from the side as you can see with his raised hand!! They got special trophies from Grandpa. Even Briggy got one for feeding the ducks, because that is what they usually ended up doing!!:) Tomorrow they have a pizza party to celebrate the end of the season and they will get another trophy then!! You can never have enough trophies!! Great job boys!!

Trick or Treat!!

This year we let the boys be what they wanted to be for Halloween. When they put on those transformer and superman costumes, they really think they are a transformer/superman. Brigham likes his costume so much that he sleeps in it, and it is quite a struggle to get it off him!! Briggy really thinks he has superpowers. He puts out his hand and he thinks he can stop the wind!!

I got to visit both Marshall and Kason's classrooms for their Halloween party this year. I helped the kids make spiders out of donuts. I got some pictures of Marshall with some of his buddies. It was fun to see them in their classes!

A couple of weeks before Halloween we went to the Haunted Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. It was really fun. My favorite part was the haunted hay ride. I wasn't scary at all!! It was perfect for kids!! Do you see how Marshall plugged his nose?! It was a little smelly!! The boys liked shooting guns at the carnival the best!


Halloween night we went to a fun chilli party at the Larsen's. The kids had a blast!! They practiced the Thriller dance and jumped in a bounce house and were even serenaded by bagpipes. It was great!! Then we went trick-or treating. I was Kanga and Sylvie was Roo. Sylvie was perfect!! Happy Halloween!!
