Kenyon's School Pictures



We finally got Kenyon's School Pictures! I think he looks really good. I can't believe how fast he is growing up.

Last Few Weeks

We spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas with Russell's brother Bryan.  We had a lot of fun.  The older kids are finally at an age where they played well together the whole time.  Each of the kids had someone to play with.  Here is a picture of all of them together.





Meg (2), Brynn (9), Lex (4), Kyler (8), Kaylee (5), Kate (6)
Evelyn (1), and Kenyon (3)


Russell and I took 6 of the kids to Hoover Dam.  It was quite the adventure and we got a lot of strange looks running after so many young children.  Here are 5 of the little monkeys.




Russell with the 6 kids.



I think this picture of Kenyon dancing with some random girl is pretty funny.




We had a great time playing with cousins, eating yummy food, and enjoying the warm weather!


Next came Christmas Tree hunting.  Evelyn slept the first half and screamed the second half.  I didn't get any pictures taken after she woke up, but I did get some fun pics of Kaylee and Kenyon enjoying the snow while she was sleeping.  (Kyler didn't want to go with, so we left him home.)




Next we have the kids talking to Santa Clause at our Ward Party.






They are really excited about Christmas this year!  Well Evelyn might not be that excited but she loves the tree!  Our kids are at a really fun age for Christmas this year, which makes it that much more fun for us!




I love this picture.  Doesn't she look like a natural?

Flat Stanley Travels The World!?!

Kyler had a school project where they were supposed to send their Flat Stanley all over and have people take pictures of him all over the US and World.  Well being the slacker parents that we are, we didn't get him sent anywhere.  Well the project was due the Monday after Thanksgiving, so we thought we would make it up to Kyler and travel the world for our Thanksgiving break.

Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower!





















Next came the Arch de Triumph!



Then came the Statue of Liberty and New York City!





















Of course we had to go to Egypt and see the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx!



Our next stop was a little closer to home, The Hoover Dam (AKA The Boulder Dam).




And since we were so close we decided that Las Vegas would be a good place for Stanley to visit too.

















As you can tell we had a very busy Thanksgiving, but aren't we the best parents ever?! 

Kyler thinks so!
