Very, Very Good Times

Ahhh...I loaded the pictures out of order...but do you think i care??? You guessed it...NOPE!!!!! We've had a great few months together as a family...here's a few highlights:)

My "Wakkuh!!!!" (ry says it that way) turned 4!!!! He told Gpa Jan that since he's 4, he doesnt cry anymore. Do you think that's really come to pass??? ( oh how i wish!!!!) He got a new scooter...and LOVES it. and we love that he has his own, cz now he can stop stealing his sisters.

Abby just got out of the shower, can you tell????
We made sugar cookies one day and had a blast!!! The girls are old enough to take the pans out of the oven and so they were in charge of that this year. They thought they were Real special!! Me and walker were in charge of the cutting out part.

The girls did lots of school outside during November.

We had some great weather...they LOVE doing it outside.

Walker and Rylie got to just play....cz you know...they are kids and stuff....

THIS TREE is in our front yard. How beautiful is that??

GORGEOUS...I loved sitting by this tree every day...

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we took the kids hiking. Of course we LOVED it and Walker hiked the whole way....he's definitely getting better!!!! (there was SOME whining and "my legs hurt" going on, but all in all he did great this time) Abbys face???? Priceless.....

Too cute for words....

Me and My GiRl!!!!! She was so funny...she kept up with me the WHOLE hike. (Nathan stayed back with the slower ones most the time) She wanted to hike right behind me. It was so fun.

Our ThAnKsGiViNg Dinner!!!! We embarked on cooking our very first dinner this year. Both sets of parents were out of town and so we had the privilege of doing everything ourselves.

Walker and Rylie sure didnt help much....HAHAHA (love both their faces)

These two were GrEaT helpers!!!

(Except they didnt appreciate helping with the mounds of dishes) We had a few "Can you just get out of the KITCHEN!!!!" moments...but all in all everything turned out great. We put our organic, free range turkey in a brine the night before and cooked it on Thanksgiving...we had mashed potatoes, fresh green beans (SO YUMMY), homemade whole wheat rolls, and homemade stuffing w/cranberries, apples and walnuts.

I am so blessed to have such a great hubby and kids. I love them all and am so greatful for the good times we've had over the last few months. SO excited for the new year and everything that comes with it. Our family motto....Make it the Best Year EVER!!!!
