Gingerbread House

Justin had so much fun decorating his first ginderbread house and gingerbread men with mom. It took us about 1 1/2 hours but it was so much fun! This is going to be a new tradition at our house!

A visit from Santa

The boys saw Santa at the Gerber Family party. Justin was pretty shy. Fisher didn't want anything to do with him and Hunter didn't seem to care either way!

Girlfriends Christmas Party

I am one of the luckiest girls ever. My girlfriends from high school still get together every year for our annual Christmas Party. Its our tradition to make home-made gifts for each other and share. The year we made 7 gifts (8 if you wanted one for yourself) to exchange. This year we went to Park City for the day and went shopping at the outlets. We had lunch and had so much fun laughing our butts off. We had dinner at Tiff's house and then we came back home. I came home to a house full of sleeping kids and a happy husband! I told you I was the luckiest girl ever! Thanks Tiff for an awesome party and thanks Tyler for letting me go!

I made the 3 pumpkins. They go with the turkey I made a couple years ago.


Trisha made this flower pot stick.


Mandy made the chunky block pumpkin.


Natalie did the Family Proclamation with my family pictures in it.


Tiff made this..


Michelle made this...


Liz made us all key necklaces.


Heather made the menu display.


Thanks girls! I love all of the gifts! Cant wait for next year!
We missed you Andrea!

Halloween Pumpkin Party

Tyler's family always has a pampkin carving party for Halloween. It is so much fun. We carve our "punkies" and we eat sloppy joes, nachos and treats!! It is so much fun!

Here's Justin...he was so proud of his pumpkin!


Mom and the twins.


Justin and his cousin, Austin.


Dad and Justin carving. Dad always helps Justin.

Our Brother in Heaven

I had a conversation with Justin the other day and this is how it went:

Mom: Justin, are there any more kids in heaven that are waiting to come to our family?

Justin: No.

Mom: There's no sister in heaven for our family?

Justin: No

Mom: Is there a brother in heaven for our family?

Justin: Just one brother.

Mom: oh, just one brother? (Emphisis on one)

Justin: Yeah, His name is Jesus.


Now, dont get any wise ideas. I am NOT making an announcement!! But I wanted to share how sweet my Justin is even at 3 1/2-years-old.

Darn Kids...they learn so fast

I love this picture of Justin.





He loves to go camping....I think he is ready to go!

Where are we going little man?

Sandcastles

Justin LOVED playing in the sand in our backyard this summer. I had a chance to play with him one fall day.



These were the best sandcastles Mom could come up with.



One for Dad, Mom, Justin, Fisher and Hunter! Justin was so cute. We started with 3 "castles" and Justin said we had to make one for Fisher and Hutner too.

Oh, we miss the warm days of summer and fall!

Woody and Buzz

Justin was Woody for Halloween this year and it just so happened that his best little buddy, Wyatt, was Buzz Lightyear. They were so dang cute!





Hunter and Fisher were cute little skeletons.
