Family Pictures

My wonderful, sweet, amazing sister-in-law, Lauren, took our family pictures on Thanksgiving for us.

Thanksgiving 2012

This year we all went to Mom and Dads house for Thanksgiving. It was the first time in 4 years that all of us were there together for it. We had such yummy food and we all stayed and played all day. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

 The kids got their own tables.

 Grandpa did rides.

 The neighbor dog decided he wanted in on the rides. 

 Then Aunt Kristi got us started up on a baseball game in the orchard.

 Run Caleb run!!

 Grandpa running for 3rd!

 Isaac going for home plate.

 1st base was a huge spool. Estefan was in charge of first base and it kept moving.

 Anna wasn't sure what to think about everyone running around like crazy. Our bat broke in 3 different places. Uncle Corey was able to keep us going with black tape though.

Sweet Emma Lynn. 

A great day. 

Playin at the Pomegranate Festival

This year we played at the Pomegranate Festival again.

 Warming up.

 The Nelson Family Band. (Whenever I leave the house with my violin Anna has to bring hers too - that's why she has hers)

The kids are ready to be done!

Time to go!

Halloween Class Party

I got to go help at Isaac's class Halloween party for Kindergarten. They played lots of fun games and had yummy snacks.

 I was in charge of the Bingo table.

So fun.

Carving Pumpkins & F.H.E.

 Monday night we Family Home Evening at Grandma and Grandpas and Aunt Lauren gave us a great lesson about getting rid of your bad habits.

 Then it was time to carve pumpkins!

 This year I made the boys scoop their own guts. Yay!!

 Uncle Corey tried to get Anna to scoop her own guts but she would rather put her hands in the dirt.

 Jackson loved putting the pieces of the eyes nose and mouth in and out. He was sooo bummed when they accidentally got thrown away during clean up.

 Grandpa is a good pumpkin carver.

 Uncle Dustin carved a watermelon. 

Happy Halloween!!
