November

My cool dude.

These two were playing family and it was so cute. Levi was rocking Kayla singing, "Rock you, rock you." And then he would put her to bed in the laundry basket. 

 

 

Levi loves his cars and makes roads out of the funniest places. 

He found a road in my shower. 

 

His FAVORITE road is the dishwasher door.  He is so funny.  He grabs his cars and runs over to the dishwasher, opens it and gets to playing. 

 

Loves his scooter and he is getting really good at it.  He has to keep up with his big siblings.  

 

The 3 musketeers hiking around finding treasures in the ditch. 

A Bible Joshua made.  So sweet.

Seeing this bucket truck made their day.

 

 Joshua wanted to make a bike ramp so we made an old school one the reminded me of the one I had when I was younger.  We started low and gradually made it higher.  He was so brave!

I  love his face! 

 

That face again!

And Levi's turn. 

 
Celebrating Daddy's b-day. 

Helping Mommy.

B-day waffles.

 

B-day cookie tower. 

   
We got to meet Benson.  Levi whined every time someone other than him was holding him.  He would say, "hold it, hold it" over and over until he finally got a turn. 

 

 

Kayla's face was priceless when she first held him.  A real live baby! 

 

Levi was constantly wiping his mouth for no reason at all and obviously Benson did not like it. 

 

Couldn't find my duo and then finally spotted them hiking around the backyard.  Do you see those two way out there?  Love watching them have fun together.

 

  Annual gingerbread house making with Mimi. 

Science fun.

Movie night. 

 

  Took the kids to Eric's mom.  They had a blast exploring their property. 

    

Unexpected sleepover with Jeremiah. 

 

 

Sweet Jeremiah wouldn't eat dinner until I sent his rowdy cousins upstairs.  They were too distracting. 

 

Showing his cousin his road. 

   
Coffee date with Aunt Sydney.

Packing our Shoe Boxes.  I love hearing the kids talk about blessing other kids. 

 

  The kids had been sooooo excited for the first snow that when we started getting flurries they all had to put on their snow gear, (Christmas socks included for Kayla) and rush outside to go sledding.  They had so much even without any accumulation.  They were out there for quite sometime.  Joshua was able to go out a few hours later and sled once it finally started sticking. 

 

Joshua pulling them down the hill. 

 

Not the first time I have caught him sitting on our neighbors goal.  He is a climber. 

We took the kids to the Compassion Experience where we were able to see and hear what life is like for some kids in 3rd world countries.  It had a real impact on them, especially Joshua. 

 

 

 

 

 

Watching the rocket launch the Daddy worked on.  While they were waiting I asked J to do something and he responded with, "Mommy, I'm kinda into this rocket thing." 

 

 Annual Star Lighting. 

 

 

Joshua and his soccer goal. 

 

Celebrating Joshua's half b-day.

Mini stockings on her feet...she's all ready to help me decorate.  

 

Checking out how the drawer works. 

 

Three kids one car...this is what happens when mom leaves you alone to figure out a solution.    

And again!
