Kids annuals

I don't know where the notion got into my head that I need to take annual pics of the kids, but I'm glad I do it- it's a good reminder and I always love looking back at how sweet they were. Here are this year's shots.

The train has left the station!

Do you ever feel like around the holidays things get so busy you don't get a chance to breathe? It's sort of like a train taking of for a long journey- you can't really stop it real quick if you need to, and there's no turning back. Now I have to post some catch up blogs. I worked with Kaid's class this week and I didn't take pictures- sorry, but we made the cutest little paper bag Indian vests for Thanksgiving. I was glad to be done with the Halloween parties- those were a lot more work than I remember from last year- one of those mom forgets the pain so she'll be willing to do it again things (like labor).

A few things we've been doing:
Went to another great football game with some family. Kelsey achieved her life goal and is finally taller than Aunt Maya! Met one of my favorite people and her lovely family for lunch one day. Suffered the nasty ear infection- still can't get over being a mom with and ear infection! I have more for ya, but you'll have to wait for the pictures!

The mommy isn't supposed to get the ear infection! I'm being a good girl and taking all my medicine. In the mean time I'm trying to ignore the laundry piled up and force myself to stay in bed. New appreciation has been established for my kids not wanting to stay in bed when they're sick. I'm tired, but laying down is tough stuff!

Baptism

Kaiden was baptized this weekend. It was very sweet. Aunt Lorilee, Aunt Maya, and Uncle Ron came up for the celebrations.
