Thanksgiving Festivities!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! We drove to Columbus, Ohio to my sister Erin's house and we had a blast! We are glad that we decided to go. Karlee LOVED playing with her cousins all day long. The day we left she came up to me as we were packing up and said "Mommy, I so sad today" I asked her why and she said "I don't want to leave". The kids all got along so well and it was so nice to hang out with my sisters.

Our trip consisted of playing out side

Preparing food

Playing with cousins

Eating lots!

Being with family 

Playing minute to win it games

Karlee getting a hair cut

Rollerskating

Erin is 8 months pregnant. She got to watch the babies.

Karlee wouldn't put on the roller skates until the very end.

Yay! We finally talked her into skating with us!

We also went shopping, to the movies, played games, had a dance party. It was a blast!

Big K and Little C

It's so fun to watch Colton and Karlee together. Colton loves to just watch Karlee. Karlee loves to make him smile. If he's sad she tries to make him happy. The other day I was making dinner and Colton was crying in the other room. Karlee had been helping and then left. She had been gone for a couple minutes and I peeked around the corner to see what she was doing. I found her reading a book to Colton, to make him happy. Very sweet.

Love Colton's double chin/no neck :)

Reading stories together

Halloween!!

On Halloween Karlee told me that she didn't want to be Dorothy. So I told her she could choose one of her dress ups to wear. Of course she wanted to be a princess and she was much happier and more herself (see post below). She was excited to be Belle and thought it was awesome!

My friend/neighbor Heather and I took Karlee and her daughter Esme trick-or-treating by our houses. These girls were so cute and funny. They thought it was great that everyone was giving them candy. They kept asking to go to another house to get another trick-or-treat. They weren't shy at all. Which surprised me because Karlee is always a little shy around people she doesn't know but she would walk right up and say trick-or-treat and then raise her hand and say "I am Belle". It was really cute.

Then we made our way over to one of Matt's friends from school to have some hot chocolate. Cora and Canyon er...Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder were there too. I think Karlee enjoyed Halloween a lot more than the Trunk-or-Treat.

Trunk or Treat

Karlee had a little bit of an identity crisis at our ward trunk-or-treat. She was acting really funny. She wouldn't go run and play with her friends she just wanted to be by herself. She didn't want anyone to talk to her (not even Matt or I). She ate her dinner at a table all by herself. It was really quite funny. I think she might have been embarrassed by her costume or something. I don't know. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her so I don't really have a good one. But oh well!

Our cute little tiger!

Dorothy!

Love that wig! Haha!

Fall Fun!

We've had lots of fun this fall. We went to a carnival put on by one of the high schools. Karlee thought it was great, Matt thought it was expensive.

When we were in Utah Karlee helped my parents carve a pumpkin and she hated the guts so we decided that we would paint our pumpkin instead of carve it. She loved that. She didn't want to stop and asked everyday if she could paint the pumpkin some more.

We went to a fun pumpkin patch with some friends. Karlee loved running though the corn maze with her friend Caleb.

2 months

Love this boy! I can't believe he's 2 months old. He's such a sweet boy. So smiley and social. He's been such a good sleeper for me which makes having two kids a little easier when I'm not a walking zombie.
