When we were in Grand Junction for Thanksgiving everyone rode the train at the mall (including Julia).
There are days when I wonder if my kids were sent to destroy me...and then there are days when they won't let me stop laughing. Lately, Hadlee has been pretty funny. She found the vampire teeth from Halloween and came into the room like this:
She was pretty proud of herself and thought she was quite funny (so did I). Tonight we were walking to the choir concert at the high school and she said, "Wow, mom, my face is cold." (pause) "I wish I had hair on my face like dada to keep my face warm." Then, while at the concert, this cute brown-haired high school girl sat in front of us with her parents and Hadlee started talking about how she smelled weird. I had to lean forward and tell the girl that I didn't think Hadlee was talking about her. A few minutes later cute brown-haired girl's boyfriend showed up and I was glad the weird smelling comment came before his arrival.
I think I am going to carry this picture around with me to look at on the days that I wonder if Calvin might be succeeding in destroying me. He looks so cute cuddling with Elmo like that.
Hadlee had parent's day at dancing last week and they did their dance that they have been practicing. She is quite the air guitar player.
Tyler has been working on the living room which includes re-rocking our fireplace. He looks like he joined the family coal mining business. I thought it would be a good one for the blog, and when he protested, I reminded him that I wasn't taking a picture of his sunburned butt crack, so he played nice and smiled for the photo.
We wanted to take pictures for the Christmas card Sunday before Church. I figured we might as well have somewhere nice to go once we were all dressed up. We all got into our new Christmas outfits and of course, it went just as planned. Everything I plan always goes exactly how I plan it.
He was in such a sunny mood.
My motto, apparently, was: "Just keep smiling." Eventually he will come sit nicely for the picture with the rest of us, right?
Maybe we can entice him to come and sit by us for the picture, I was really hoping jealousy would suck him in.
After several failed attempts and making ourselves late for church, we finally put Hadlee and Calvin on a chair and kneeled on either side of them. (top of the page) I guess he just wasn't interested in supporting his own weight for the picture. I guess I should have just known that, but I had to figure it out the hard way.

I think your Christmas pictures turned out nice anyways. I really like your tree and the colors that your wearing. It was great seeing you this last weekend. I hope you have a Merry Christmas if I don't see you before.
You always crack me up. I need to take a picture of Cambrie sleeping and post it on my fridge when we having bad days!
I loved hadlee's dress, you guys are a beautiful family.
Love the pictures! Your tree looks very official and nice! Mine is only decorated from about half way up. You all look great!
You look so cute in all of those pictures. I think you will look back on those and giggle one day... I have one of me with Ben and Ryan that I adore where Ben is fussy, Ryan looks so annoyed, and I'm just smiling anyway. It's framed in our bedroom. :)
WAy cute post...I have been so out of it I am just trying to catch up...but yes I did catch the sunburned bum crack comment! How funny! I am so glad that we add to your life in some way! I think the pics turned out cute...it is almost annoying to have a perfect picture because you know your kids are really not like that! Next year I am totally sending a picture of me yelling and screaming at all of my kids! Ha! Merry Christmas...miss you guys!
