I'm So Glad When Lyza Comes Home!

What have we been up to? Glad you asked!
We have been playing with boxes

 The kids have also been playing together nicely!
 Lyza all ready for kindergarten.
Lyza going to school has been such a positive experience. She loves it and she has been a lot happier at home. Nixon likes having some extra mommy time and he also misses Lyza, so when she is at home they play better together. It has been great.
 Nixon liked helping mom make some rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. He got to be in charge of starting and stopping the Bosch.
 We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with another family.
 The food was AMAZING!
 Mason really liked playing with this dog
 Nixon borrowed these rescue bots and they haven't left his side all week


Nixon can even make breakfast fun
Mason likes to sing along to Wheels on the Bus and it is super cute when he says "move on back" for the driver. It is really hard to capture, but this gives you an idea
Kim and the kids went to the pumpkin patch at the grocery store



 What a little goof 
 Nixon had fun at the library this week 
The kids have been getting more adventurous on the trampoline
 Lyza had a friend over this week who is in gymnastics. She taught Lyza and Nixon some moves.


 It is so fun to watch them playing together

 This is Mason's newest trick

 I took the kids for a walk/bike ride yesterday and Lyza asked if she could push the stroller. She was so proud of herself and kept telling me that she needed to focus because this was a new task for her and she needed to do her best. 
Enjoy the beautiful fall colors (if you still have them)

Pine Needles Are Falling...

We enjoyed General Conference last weekend

 These creative kids made some fun Jack-o-lanterns
 An afternoon walk/bike ride was very enjoyable
 The trees are looking great
 We had a family home evening this week on the Liahona, which meant that we had to teach the kids what a compass is, so we had to download a compass app ;)
 Pretty girl going to school on picture day!
 The kids had some fun with side walk chalk
 Her drawing skills are getting pretty impressive
 Look at this creative boy
 We got to go tour Lyza's class and school one evening this week. Isn't she cute reading on that little couch?
 There is he rcubby
 She had to show us the playground 
 This outfit is a little crazy. She had to modify it before she left the house
 Lyza got to wear this one to a princess birthday party
 Christmas came a little early this year
 We went out to pick some pumpkins yesterday



 Nixon also helped harvest some potatoes
 Mason carried this apple around the whole time and kept eating it no matter how much dirt was on it from dropping it repeatedly
 Don't these two look so pretty!
 Nixon helped me rake some pine needles. There will be lots more to rake over the next month
 It is sure cute when these two work together
 Nixon loves this bee from Grandma
 Mason got a crazy turtle ride last night
Here is a video of Mason practicing running. It is so cute how he bends over and reaches his arms back before he starts.
Take care
