We went to a snow day at Erin and Aiden's community center.
They bring in snow for sledding and an area for playing. We made snowballs and Santa came to see all the kids. It was a fun day for the boys to see snow and play :*)

Anthem Christmas Tree lighting

WE went to Anthem for the Christmas tree lighting.

JT's Birthday Celebration

Here we are celebrating JT's 4th birthday!!!
I can't believe he would have been four already.
We have gone out every year and celebrated his birthday with sending off balloons in his memory. In the last four years Jason and I have been through so much. We continue though to trust in the Lord and his plan for us. We are SO BLESSED to have two healthy boys and other life issues turning around and working out.
If you look at the top picture Jason is standing with Jesse and Jordan in front of JT's tree that we planted at the cemetery. It is really neat because if you look at the left side of the tree it looks like a "Heart" is shining through. Crazy, but so special!! I look at that picture and just see my growing family and JT watching over us letting us know that he is always with us. :*)

JT - Daddy and Mommy love you SO SO Much baby and miss you more than ever!!!

Jesse and Jordan's Birthday Party

Jesse and Jordan had their 3rd and 2nd Birthday.
We had a CARS theme party.
My parents were able to drive out and be here with us as we celebrated. The boys had a couple friends be able to attend. (Aiden, Ella, Reiliegh, Lilly)
They got a lot of fun new toys and books. Their favorite is probably the food kit from Grandma and Grandpa Calhoun and all the CARS action cars that move and talk.
They had a really fun time!!

Grandma and Grandpa helped get everything ready for the party.

Jesse was showing Grandpa the CARS decorations.

Opening presents was fun for the boys.

They loved their ice cream cake and blowing out the candles.

All of Jesse and Jordan's friends.

I LOVE MY HUNNY!

I like this picture of Jason and I. We had just gotten back from taking family pictures.
We can't wait to see all the pictures.

Halloween

On Halloween we had a really good time. We had our favorite friends over Quinn, Erin and Aiden. We made yummy tacos for dinner. We then took the boys out trick-or-treating. It was a really great night. Jesse was really into going door to door for his candy. Both Jesse and Jordan loved the Halloween lights on some of the houses and seeing everyone in costumes.
What a fun NIGHT :*)

All the boys. Look at Jordan's great BIG smile

Indoor Trick-Or-Treating

At the Trick-Or-Treating thing at the recreation center we got to go around and get candy, jump in bouncy houses and do crafts. The boys had fun. We meet my friend from work and her daughter Bella.

Making a Ghost

Carving Pumpkins

I carved the pumpkins this year because Jason did it last year.
We did Jordan's like a smile and Jesse's was a little scary face.
The boys enjoyed watching me. They didn't really want to get involved they thought it was kind of gross. Jason helped the boys make their own personal pizza's for dinner. (I think a new little tradition) Jason had told me that I did an awesome job. I heard from Jesse and Jordan for weeks this saying "Awesome Pumpkins Mommy" I love it!!!
What a fun family time together. :*)

Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the pumpkin patch.
This farm has a petting zoo, little lady bug train and bounce house.
They had a lot of fun spending time with their cousins.

All the kids Reagan, Mckinley, Lukas, Jesse and Jordan

Going down the slide :*) Love this picture of Jordan.
