Michael plays soccer so well we are all very impressed. Or should we say we are not surprised!!

Sir Gunnar the Knight
Michael the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west
Jorden our little puppy
JJ was Zorro, doesn't he look hot!! I have decided to dye my hair black, what do you all think??

Our ward had their Halloween party/trunk or treat early this year. So here is the clan. Michael and Gunnar each picked their costumes this year based on the weapon they wanted. So being such a good mom, I made their costumes. I think they turned out pretty good. Jorden loves dogs so we thought this doggy costume was perfect. He would pull the head down next to his and kiss and hug it.

Jorden's 2nd birthday. We had cupcakes and invited his two little friends over. Actually we are good friends with their parents so we had a game night while the kids played. I would have to say it was one of the most fun birthday parties I have ever planned.









.Jorden eating cupcakes with his friend Andersin.













He loved opening the presents. I love this age!!!
(Minus the temper tantrums.)












His brothers, envious of all his new loot.













Gage Atwood, his other little friend. (His daddy is JJ's best friend here.)

Jorden licking his plate clean. Hmm... who does this remind me of?













Michael being gooney.













Jorden happy as a clam. He just woke up from his nap!!!! He loves to play with his daddy.














Michael and Gunnar are wrestling. They have so much playing together. I am so thankful.












Mommy and Michael hanging out on the couch.

The boys decided they wanted a sandbox to dig in with their tractors. So we all decided to build one. The boys are hard at work painting the wood. We are going to finish it tonight for family night. They can't wait.

This really isn't posed. Jorden does this all the time.

So Cute!!!

Will Cali survive to make it to her first birthday only time will tell. Jorden loves to hold the kitty and give her kisses.

Michael on his first day of First Grade. He too is eating his favorite breakfast, waffles.

Sad but true this is the only picture I got of Gunnar on his first day of school. But he was so happy to go.

He is eating his favorite food in the whole world. He loves Honey Nut Cheerios. He would have this for every meal if Mom would let him.

Hello family and friends,

Since so many of you have asked for pictures and I fail to send them, I thought I would set up a blog to have them online for you. That way when ever you are having withdrawals you can visit us here. And maybe I will be better at posting. We will see.
