Here is the normal looks we get from our kids. Kadi had no idea this picture was being taken and Kolton always looks like a deer in the spot lights. I can't believe that we have a picture of Jacob smiling he is usually pretty serious and Jaimee this is what I have to put up with on a daily basis. I can't belive that it is so close to christmas and I pretty excited I think the kids will just be glad to have a break from school. Kadi is pretty busy with finals and the rest are pretty much just hanging out. It will be fun to be with family in Utah this christmas time. I thought I would never be away for christmas but with Tracy coming in I thought it would be fun to load up all the kids and all their presents and drive 8 hours to the cold to spend the time with him and finally get to see my little neice Addison which I have yet to meet.

Here are just some more pictures of Thanksgiving. We really did have a great time and I love haivng family here.

Well we started off the holiday season with the christmas tree decorating and all the house. It was great this year as the girls did most of it. I like having older girls they are a great help. We put up our tree that we say we are going to replace every year it has now been used for 13 years and still looks good. I was not as good as my sister in-law that put 4500 lights on her tree I only have 1500. For FHE last week we talked about what our favorite part of the holidays we all enjoy. Ken like driving around and looking at the lights and candy cane shakes. Kadi and my favorite things are watching all the christmas shows with the christmas lights on and christmas music. Jaimee likes the lights and decorating the house. Jacob and Kolton liked the presents. We really love the time we get to spend together as a family and just remembering the reason for the holiday.

We had a great Thanksgiving with lots of family and a ton of food. The weather was great and the kids loved spending time with each other. I love thanksgiving as it is the start of the Holiday Season. I hope all is well with every one. More pic to come.

Well here it is all painted I think it is real nice and they will be able to have like this for a while.

Well I finally got the boys room put together, for one of Kadi's YW projects she cleaned and organized the boys room. I can tell you it took her more than ten hours and with the help of Ken they made really cool shelf to keep it clean. I promised the boys that I would paint it if they could keep it clean. They do pretty good and it would most likely stay clean if we didn't have extra kids here all the time. Well after about 5 months I finally painted it looks really nice and I think that the boys like it.

We had a great Halloween. Ken has been working 16 hour days and had a really busy week or two, but he acutually made it home for Halloween. The kids had a great time we went to the annual party held on our street and had a great dinner and the kids get to run around and work themselves up for trick or treating. Kadi stayed home with me to hand out the candy she looked great in her costume and she had a good time. Jaimee who for some reason doesn't like to dress up was a wizard trying to be a muggle. Jacob was a student at hogwarts, and Kolton was Darth Vader. It was great and it actually cooled down a little so it was nice to be outside. I am amazed at the candy yet my kids didn't eat that much. Now comes my favorite time of year. I love thanksgiving and the time we get to spend with family.

Kolton's bithday cake. As mentioned before we were in California for Koly's b-day it was also conference weekend. We went to our cousins house for dinner and we had cake to celebrate with presents. It was a great time and the kids all played together so well. It is nice to have family to share those times with.

We got home from california on wednesday. On thursday we did nothing but watch movies and catch up on our T.V. shows . On Friday we went to the zoo with some friends we had a lot of fun except I think that every one in Phoenix was there it was so pack it was crazy. Now the kids are back in school and life is quiet once again. Kadi has a concert on Wednesday her first in Highschool I am excited because the high school concerts are very good. Wish that you all could be here to listen. I will try to get video.

More pictures, Kadi had the camera a lot I need to teach her that I like people in the picutres. I have 20 pictures of rides but no one we know in them. We had a great time.

This last week was fall break for the kids. So we deciced to head to california for a quick trip and while we were there we went to Disneyland. We had a great time and met some firends there from Arizona to join us. On Monday it was Kolton's birthday and he had a great time as Grandma and Grandpa Law went with us. He was very lucky to also have Grandma Terry there to help him celebrate his 6th year. We were there as Disneyland was all deck out for Halloween it was very festive. It was a great time at Disneyland because between all the grandma's and friends the kids were able to ride on all the ride that they like as the boys don't lilke the big rides yet. On Tuesday we went to California Adventure and we were able to ride California Screaming 4 times in a short time it was great. I also through the kindnest of Kadi heart got to ride on Tower of Terror my favorite ride. Kadi who does not enjoy it as much took the boys to bug land and every one was happy.

Here are just a couple of pictures of the kids that didn't make it on the blog or were before blogging I love looking at some of the one when they are younger and remembering the times of past.
