Thanksgiving

We had a very good Thanksgiving Day at the Hansen's place!  The kids love having cousins to play with and we all had a great time.  I'm so grateful for all of my family and for all of the blessings that we are given daily.  How lucky we are to live in this country with the many things we have and often times take for granted.  I have a goal to try and be more thankful this coming year and focus on what I have more than what I want.  I know that is one of the keys to happiness! :)

Here are the munchkins at the Hansen's. (Can you see we desperately needed some girl power in the mix!   Thank you Aubree!)

We also stopped by the Saunders' place on Friday and Chace had fun helping Grandpa in the yard.  He loves being Grandpa's little helper.

7 Months

This cute little lady turned seven months on Monday.  We love her so much and she is just growing and learning new things like crazy.  She has started to really groove when she hears any music, which I love!  We were in Old Navy the other night and she was just jamming out!  She has perfected the army crawl, she really can get anywhere she wants.  She has started babbling more which is fun because she says "da-da-da" and "ma-ma-ma".  It will be a bit until she knows what she's saying, but it makes us happy! :)  She loves her baby food and is sleeping pretty good most days.  We love her so much and her little smile just makes my heart melt!

On the Chace note, he was singing I Am a Child of God (well the same two lines over and over) today for the first time.  It just put a big smile on my face.  He does something new and cute everyday.  He discovered today that if he puts something down the top of his shirt, it will come out the bottom.  Yay for stretched out necks on all of his shirts from now on!  He thought that was the coolest thing ever.  He sure loves his little sis too, and blowing raspberries on her head and belly and legs! :)

Happy Halloween!

I am definitely not a huge Halloween person, but when it comes to dressing the kids up, I get a little excited!  Chace loves anything cowboy and he loves the horse and hat he got for his birthday so of course it didn't take much to make him the cutest little cowboy!

Aubree was a darling little bumblebee thanks to the Hansens!
(Not as cooperative for pictures as Chace)

 And she also doubled as a Candy Corn thanks to Trav's mom's idea!

We had fun taking the kids to see a few neighbors and friends close by.  Chace got pretty good at the "Trick or Treat" thing and got quite the loot! Also, who knew we'd have perfect record high temperatures for Halloween!  We hope you all had a great Halloween as well!
