 How we shop! The boys saw this cart and all wanted to ride. It only lasted about 5 mintues, since they really all couldn't fit and the two front wheels never touched the ground! But I love how they all tried!



This is the new tree skirt I made. Also a pinterest idea. I took our old skirt, and some old Christmas fabric (cut it up into strips) and with a hot glue gun when to town on creating some new ruffled layers. This took awhile, about 3 hours start to finish, and many cuts, burns and blisters later it was done! I am super proud of myself for doing this and I think it turned out super cute. The boys loved watching it transform and are so excited to have something new that will last us for many years to come. Ximon said it was rebirthed and it was cool!! There are many more projects on my to do list, so keep your eyes peeled. I also made some wonderful cinnamon almonds this weekend, another recipe off of pinterest.

 Dessert! Oh I love baking and wish I had more time to do it. This was the creation for this week. Brownie pizza, it was yummy!
 Board game time in our house! They love all of the games and playing against each other. Ximon is taking such a leadership role and teaching everyone his new game, I love watching them work together, learning, and just having some thinking fun!!
The first snow of the year! Not much, but still it kicks off the wintery weather here in CO. Excited about snow days, hot coco, a warm fire and just extra snuggle time with all of my men! But it sure does make me wish christmas was a lot closer than 81 days.

 FREEDOM! Jordan's cast is off! He did so great these past 4 weeks, and Shawn and I survived our first broken bone of the boys and are hoping that this will be the last major thing for awhile.
 John and Quinn at the Davis family photo shoot, he really wanted his picture with this wonderful little girl.
 Some of my fall decorations! I love fall, I love winter, I just love this time of year!! Hold on for some fun family adventure photos of the coming season!
 My wonderful friends daughter, cheering! She is a broncos jr. cheer leader and I was actually able to go and see her cheer and catch a few pictures! Such a wonderful girl and wonderful family!
 Today we said goodbye to grandpa Bill. We had his funeral on Saturday, it was a hard day for all of us, please still continue to pray for Shawn and also our GG (grandma).
 John showing off his pixar shirt. He recently wrote a letter to John Lasseter (pixar's creator), and also wanted to send him a picture. I sure do hope that Mr. Lasster reads the letter and responds, my John would be in heaven!
 One of the best gifts I have ever received!  My wonderful friend Kelly bought this for me. She said she saw it and knew instantly it was for me. :) I love it, and now it holds a wonderful place of honor in our home! And it's true, you can call or think what you may of our family, but it's the best thing in the world to us and we wouldn't change a single thing!! :)
The most addicting cookie ever!! I won't show you the inside of the package and how much of these things I alone have eaten in the last two days!
