OSU vs Michigan

James' brother Devan came to visit Thanksgiving weekend. The boys spent Saturday at the OSU vs. Michigan game(we won!) and then came home and continued the football weekend marathon with the Utah vs. BYU game (Utah won!), and a bunch of other games that were on that weekend. On Monday, we went to Canton to the NFL Hall of Fame, and then went up to Kirtland. We had a great time having Devan here, including Lexi who wouldn't leave him alone the whole time!

Thanksgiving Festivities!!

We started out our Thanksgiving celebration with a PIE PIG OUT!! Everyone brought a pie/thanksgiving treat and we loaded our plates with a piece of everything! The girls....Sorry, no pictures of husbands or kids(but they were also there stuffing their bellies!) Wednesday night we stayed at an indoor waterpark resort in town called Fort Rapids. We had a blast...We swam Wed night and almost all day Thursday. Then they had a delicious all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving buffet. (Then we headed home, full of delicious food, super tired, and we didn't have to cook or clean a thing!)

The boys playing basketball...Lexi and Emri swinging. (Jami and I are both due in February)
Daddy and Lexi playing in the water...Lexi swimming...Lexi kept asking Sherri to take her picture!Winding down with Shayne....All of us at dinner (Clarkes, Andertons, Williams, Perrys, and us) Thanks to Sherri for taking all the great pictures for us!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Catching up

Lexi was soooo excited to be Snow White this year for Halloween. The night we went trick or treating was the coldest night of the year so far, so Lexi wore her pajamas and coat out. I gave her an apple to take a picture with, and she decided to take a bite out of it! I guess that's what Snow White did too...Silly girl!Maddie was also Snow White this year. If you asked Lexi what she was going to be for Halloween, her reply was always "Snow White, just like Maddie!"Lexi has been into posing for pictures and then wanting to see the camera so she can see herself in the picture. What did people do before digital camera?! Playing with Maddie and Janie at the park. Lexi loves these girls, and is so excited to have a sister "just like Janie and Maddie are sisters."We went to a wedding in October and Lexi was super excited to get to dance with daddy. (She also got to dance with some of her friends. It was super cute, I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of that!)

Birthday Friends

I have some catching up to do! Lexi and I got passes to Zoombezi Bay Waterpark this summer, and had a great time spending some hot days in the water! Lexi LOVED it! Lexi's friend Whitney turned 2 a few weeks after Lexi did and so we spent the first part of her birthday with them at Zoombezi Bay...

Here's Lexi, Whitney, and Jadyn on the turtle slide....
Lexi and Whitney "swimming". These girls get so CRAZY around each other! They squeal and giggle and are up for anything the other one wants to do!
Later that night we went over to Whit's house for some cake and presents...The presents were (of course) enjoyed by all! The tiara, necklace, tutu, and dress up shoes (all of which Lexi is wearing) were some of Whit's birthday gifts!
This is one of the cutest pictures ever...The girls were sitting at a little table eating their cake and ice cream...

We had what seemed like a birthday marathon for a while! Lexi's friend Jadyn turned 2 a few days after Lexi did (we went up to Alum Creek and had a great time, but I forgot my camera). Then the next week Janie turned 2 and we went over to play and eat cute Mickey Mouse cupcakes with her. Then that weekend Austin turned 2 and had a great Diego party (still no camera). Followed by Whit's bday the next week.

Here's the kids at Janie's house (L to R: Lexi, Janie, Austin, Ethan, Maddie, and Nolan)
