So Blessed

In this month of Thanksgiving, I feel so thankful and blessed for our little family and every precious minute I get to spend with my little kiddos. I just love them so much! I have lots of random pictures again, but life just moves so fast sometimes I can't keep up!

Our little Hailee bug turned 3 this month. I can't believe she's growing so fast! We had family come over to have cake and ice cream and Hailee was super excited all day long!

Here she is waiting for Dallin to bring her the presents

Here she is in her sea of presents. Spoiled little thing :)

It seriously looked like Christmas. I think we went a little overboard with the gifts :)



Here's the little princess with her new crown and princess dress and cute litte Sleeping Beauty doll.

My friend Becki made this really cute butterfly cake for Hailee. I thought there would be more people coming over, so i made some cupcakes with super thick frosting too. Well, it ended up that not as many people came as I thought was going to come, so we had lots of yummy leftovers- and I was fine with that!

Getting ready to blow out candles

Little Owen can finally hold his head up pretty well, so we let him sit in the Bumbo sometimes. He really likes to sit up and look around. The only problem is that he spits up so much. He has reflux pretty bad just like his brother did.

Its fun to get pictures in the Bumbo with brother and sister!

Last Sunday the power went out at about 9:30- just about the time I would have started getting ready for church. I decided to get the kids ready anyway, because usually the power doesn't stay out for long. But this time it did, and they ended up cancelling church because there were reports the power might not go back on til later that day. (it did go back on at about 11:15) Anyway, the kids looked so cute, so I took their picture so the time to get them ready didn't go to waste :)

On this same day, my little sister, Kathleen, had her first baby! He's a cute tiny little guy they named Landon.

Owen and his new little cousin. I can't believe the size difference and they're just three months apart! Little mini boy Kristin and Kathleen is what I was thinking when I took this picture :)

Here are the Owen pictures. The pictures may not be the best quality in some. A lot of times I just take his picture when I'm about to change his clothes or something. My plan is to get a fancy picture of him soon!

Ok- I just love his huge eyes in this picture. haha

Owen already fits really well in 6 month clothes and it seems like he's only going to be in them a little longer. He's a huge little guy for his age.

I have some more little random pictures of stuff throughout the month:
One day we came home and I was getting stuff out of the car and I turned around to this:

Dallin is such a ham!

One of our outings to McDonald's. Dallin thinks its the best thing EVER to go there. He'll even say things like, "Mom, today is the best day EVER!" We don't go often, since I don't like it much, but then it makes it more special for these guys.

Here is our trip to the museum. Dallin had been wanting to go to this Egyptian exhibit for a long time, but I didn't think he would enjoy it. I finally gave in since it was the last week of it, and we went. The minute we got inside, Dallin got freaked out, and said, "let's get out of here" in his dramatic cartooney way. It was funny. But I didn't give in, and we stayed and looked at everything. They were all just replicas of the real things, and I tried to explain that to Dallin, but he was pretty freaked out by the possibility of the mummy coming to life to get us. It was hard to get them to even turn their backs to get this picture. haha!

Kyle took this cute little picture of Hailee asleep in the boppy pillow.

Dallin playing Mario. He LOVES Mario!

Now that Hailee's hair is getting longer, its really fun to fix it in cute different ways. I had fixed her hair in pigtail braids and thought it was SO cute! She wasn't too happy at first and didn't want me to take her picture. So here she is with her bff blanky. She always goes to blanky when she gets sad or mad.

She finally lightened up though! She can't resist the camera!

This last set of pictures was actually taken by Grandma Wright. The kids were at their house while Kyle and I went to his work Christmas party.
Hailee and her crown:

Cute little Hailee

Last of all, I'm going to include a video of Hailee from last month. I just think this is so cute of her singing "I am a Child of God"
