A Day In The Life

Brooklyn Holland

Back in September Brooklyn got her pictures taken. She was not cooperating, but they still turned out cute!

We spent Thanksgiving in a cabin near Zion with Ryan's family, minus Camille and Jeff's families. We were in charge of all of the food, so it was a lot of work, but it was a great time to relax and enjoy a break from real life. Plus it was so beautiful!

The guys hiked Angel's Landing one morning.

Halloween 2014

For Halloween Hayden was Ariel, Cole was the green ninja, and Brooklyn was a BYU cheerleader. They are so cute!

All dressed up at Otterfest at the school.

Ivy got baptized the day after Halloween, so we drove up to Kennewick for the fun and brought Brynli with us. We went trick or treating with their family and some of Annette's family. It was so fun to be together!

We used my costume to announce a little something! Baby #4 on it's way :) Due April 26, 2015!!

Fall 2014

Hayden and Brooklyn reading buddies.

Talk like a pirate day at Krispy Kreme Donuts. Free dozen donuts for every person dressed up? We're there!

Hayden's field trip to the planetarium.

Ryan's team did so well at work, that they sent all of us to St. George for a weekend. We stayed in a hotel, saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Tuacahn (not my favorite, but still super fun), went swimming, to movies, hiking.....Brooklyn was more than a little worn out :) Such a great weekend!

Cole's field trip to HeeHaw farms.

Painting...

He loves stuffed animals.

I got a giant container of perler beads at Ikea. Greatest $8 ever spent. Cole spent hours and hours creating things straight from his imagination.It was so fun to see what he came up with.

The not so fun part was when he stuck one of the beads up his nose and had to be taken in to the doctor. His doctor was excited to have a chance to try out his nose balloon thing to get the bed out, though. It was very painful, but at least he got a sucker at the end of the whole ordeal!

So cute!

Back to School

Hayden started second grade on August 19, 2014.

Cole started Kindergarten on August 26, 2014. The first week was super rough. He cried, and screamed, and attached himself to my leg, but after that he adjusted and learned to love school!

Lined up next to Jake, who is now one of his best friends!

Brooklyn was feeling left out of all of the picture taking...

Ninjago!

For Cole's 5th birthday we started the day at Build-A-Bear. He had been begging for a build-a-bear for so long and was beyond excited to finally be able to get one.

He picked the camo bear with army clothes.

He also got a Captain America hoodie with mask, which he loved showing off :)

That night we had his Ninjago party. He was really into Ninjago during this time!

Sensei Wu's with their ninja belts!

Logan, Mac, Cole, Landon

It's always awesome when you know your kid loved every second of their birthday!!

Estes Park

In August 2014 Shylo's family was having a family reunion in Estes Park, Colorado. Since we don't get to see them very often, we decided to crash their party! (We were invited, I promise)
