When this boy finds something he likes, he embraces it with both arms wide open and loves "it" and ONLY "it"....until of course he finds something new. Needless to say, I took many trips to the grocery store, or target, or to pick up Makenna and Kellen from school alongside this awesome ninja turtle!

Our sweet Aunt Stephanie! She always gets these kids to cutest holiday goodies. These ornaments were one of the favorites among our gang this year. They came with dry erase pens and the kids could write what they wanted for christmas on them. They would write, and re-write and draw pictures....over and over and over. Love it!

Well, Conner survived his first soccer season. And by survived I very much mean survived. He hated going every saturday. He would do great during warm ups and drills. But then as soon as the game would start, he wanted to be done. Every game there were tears. Each game the tears were less and less. And if nothing else I think Conner learned the importance of finishing something and being part of a team. He is a good soccer player and its a shame he didn't really love it. But he is also just a little boy still. And in the end he got an ice cream cup and a medal that he was Soooooo proud of! 

Love that happy face!

Watching your little ones sleep. It just melts your heart.

The kids got invited to a birthday party at the Boardwalk for their buddy Brett. The place has been around since I was a kid (in fact, I had a birthday there when I was a kid!) But it is still pleasing the little kids! They had a blast and are begging to go back!

Right before Thanksgiving Conner was in the circle preschool "pow-wow". Since I was busy taking video, and Grammy was taking care of Carys, Makenna was left to take pictures. Which means I got about 1 that was not totally blurry (though I greatly appreciate her effort). You get the gist of how cute he is!

Grammy and the Con. So lucky to get to have her come and enjoy these special times with us. 

Back at Disney! This time (taking advantage of the fact that we have passes and can come back often) we left Carys with Grammy for the day and got to enjoy a day at Disney with the bigger kids. Though we missed our baby sister, it was also fun to get to move at a quicker pace and focus our time on the big kid stuff. 

This little cutie got to take me on a drive on the bumper cars. He took his job quite seriously!

I know it's cheesy, but it really is one of the happiest places!

At the end of November we were able to spend time with Brookie and Kipper and Rah Rah, who unfortunately had to come down due to a family tragedy with their Grandpa Robinson. The kids though soaked up the time together! 

I LOVE how protective Makenna is of Brooke, and how Brooke becomes so submissive with Makenna. It is a cute/funny relationship these girls have. 

I just LOVE this picture!

Kids crack me up! Makenna and Kellen were having battles making lists like this before Christmas time. Kellen would make his list and put Makenna on the bad list and vice versa. Silly kiddos.

At Chuck E Cheese enjoying their reward for filling up their "good behavior" jar with warm fuzzies!
