So much to catch up on!!!!

There is a lot of catching up that I need to do! The kids got to see Santa at our ward Christmas party. As seen below. Kerrin had her birthday party. And just today she was baptized! I will try to post some video to go along with the pictures, but it hasn't been wanting to work for me latelyThe kids with Santa!

Myrtle Beach

We spent the last week including Thanksgiving at a condo in Myrtle Beach, SC with the Allen side of the family. We were sad that Nicci wasn't able to come, we missed her. The kids had a great time at the beach and everywhere we went! I have many pictures to post, but I started small. There are a few below of our first day there!

What could be better than getting sandy on the beach?!?

Kyrek, Kiegan, Kerrin and Mason are doing a pretty good job at it!

Halloween!!!

Brandon passed out candy in this costume. He stayed still as a "dummy" would until kids came to reach into the bowl of candy! He scared a lot of kids and a few adults too!

Mason was spider-man!
Kerrin was a forest fairy!
Nadia was Cinderella (and still is if you ask her)

Nadia calls this the "head-band" girl costume!
Livi was a tiny tiger!

Fall Fun!!

These were all taken at Iron's Fruit Farm, when we went to pick out pumpkins! We actually didn't buy pumpkins there, but we got cider and doughnuts!
Mason fed a goat!

Brandon got a deer!

Brandon shot a 4-point buck on Monday!!! He was out hunting in the morning and called me less than two hours after he left to say that he got a deer, with his cross-bow!

This is a happy thing because I now have a freezer full of venison!

Only kids would think of sharing a lollipop in this manner!

Kids take the Camera!

The kids took control of the camera (with my permission, of course) on a day when we were over cleaning at the Moyer house, and these are the pictures they took, themselves, of themselves!!!

Livi takes her first steps!

Kerrin was playing with Livi and I look over and she had her walking! I didn't catch the best one,(she took 7 steps to Kerrin)but that is always the way!

Mason and MB

Just listen to what Mason says, it's pretty funny!

Reid plays the "air drums" and does "ninja warrior"

Soooo cute! This was while we were all together in Texas, and I just hadn't gotten around to posting it until now! (Notice all of the cheering aunts and uncles in the backround!)
