drawing class

This past fall Taylor and Chase took a drawing class together right after school once a week. They really enjoyed it and were always so excited to come home and show me what they did. I am pretty sure we will sign them up to do it again next semester. Such a fun class for them to do together!

And some of Taylor's





And here's a little something we found on our front porch for Chase from one of his cutest little friends.

thanksgiving highlights

We went to Utah last week for Thanksgiving. We were there a whole week. I thought for sure a week was long enough that we would be able to get everything in that we possibly wanted to do. I was so wrong. So many things that I had wanted to do didn't happen. But lots of good things and times definitely did. As they always do when we are there. Here are a few of the highlights from our trip.

The kids missed their school's turkey trot race while we were gone. So we asked my bro B to be our turkey and we had our own race.

Somehow though the race turned into a game of tag?! Thanks Beaufort for being a good sport and turkey!

Herriman girls night out, minus sweet Christine who had to leave early.

Our Willy, who none of us can get enough of. Every family should be lucky enough to have a William. The entire week Willy was right in the middle of everything. I would be fixing my kids lunch and look over and see two of my kids on one side and two on the other and Willy in the middle. I don't know how many times Easton and him watched Cars 2 together! Oh, how we love this kid!

My nephew is an amazing football player; he lead his team to the championship a few weeks ago. One day while we were at my dads, Tannon came over with some friends and asked Chase if he wanted to go out and play football with them. Chase was so excited. They wouldn't tackle him and he even made a touchdown against these sweet 7th graders. They sure made him feel special. What great kids! Chase was in football heaven and felt so big.

We tried to go sledding while we were there. But couldn't find any snow. So the kids improvised!
