Winter 2015

We have had a great start to the Winter with lots of fun activities.  We then have had a lot of snow storms and lots of time to shovel the walk.

Chloe had 50's day at school. She loved dressing up. 

Kinley has been working hard on being a big girl and getting potty trained. She got to enjoy an orange leaf after a good week with no mistakes. We are happy to not have diapers at our house anymore!

Hayden receiving an award at cub scouts. His days are limited until he moves on. He has been blessed with great leaders. 

We had a great Thanksgiving break. We went to Jackson and went swimming with the Beck's. We played games, watched movies, shopped, hung out with family, went ice skating, and to a movie. Heath had a great time cooking on his Traeger grill for the first time. The turkey turned out great. Hannah had fun making a fruit turkey for our dinner. We had the Jackson's over this year. The Huls stayed with us for a few days too. It was fun to decorate for Christmas and celebrate my mom's birthday.

It all made Kinley a little tired. She loved seeing all of the decorations come out and playing with them.

Hannah had to make a model of a cell. She chose to make a cake and label it. 

We got to go to Aunt Larene's for our annual train decorating and visiting with Santa. We love this tradition. We ate lots of candy and were so excited to tell Santa our wish for the year.

 
 
 
 
 

Chloe had a Christmas dance recital. She was nervous to get up there, but did a great job when the day came. She looked like a beautiful ballerina. 

 

Chloe has loved her music class with Ms. Tandee. 

Chloe was so excited to finish her skills book at school right before Christmas! 

Hannah decided to cut her hair. This is the before and after shot. Beautiful either way!

Hayden's Trip to Denver

 Hayden had one of dreams come true when he received Denver Bronco tickets for Christmas! He was able to go the weekend after with his dad, grandpa, Uncle Cody, Cody and Tylee to a Broncos game. It was a quick trip. They drove down one day, went to the game, and then drove home the next day. I asked him if it was worth it  - his answer heck ya!  They had a great time being together, the weather was great, and the Broncos won!

Fall 2015

Hannah finished her volleyball season. She loves it! She has become such a good little player. Her team had a great season.

Chloe surprised us by failing her vision screening at school. I took her to the eye doctor and sure enough she needs glasses. She is very far sighted. It took her a little bit to get use to her glasses but she loves them now. 

We were able to go to a few homecoming parades. Heath always drives his dad's car in the Bonneville one.

Kinley loves her bag of candy that she gets at the parade.

Chloe started dance. She loves going to class with Tessa and her teacher Natalie.

We have had a beautiful fall. The weather has been beautiful. After one rain storm, there was a beautiful double rainbow. Love all the awesome fall colors.

We went to a few of Alexis's volleyball games. She is a junior for the Shelley russets. They were able to win state this year!

We went on a family trip to Utah. We went to the Hogle zoo, took Granny great to dinner, swam at the hotel, visited Mike and Jenny and went to a BYU game. It was a fun time. 

We have been working hard on redoing Hayden and the little girls room. Hayden got a queen bed and decorated in a Bronco's theme.

The little girls have a bird room. They now share a room with bunkbeds. Kinley has only fallen out a few times. :) We now have an office upstairs again. 

HALLOWEEN! We loved all the fun activities. Grandma and Grandpa Thornton always grow us awesome pumpkins and gourds. We had fun carving them.

Hannah dressed up like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Hayden was Willie from Duck Dynasty. 

Chloe was Elsa from Frozen.

Chloe was a bumblebee.

I was Sadness from Inside Out with my ladies at work.

We had fun at the parade and parties at school. 

We went to Utah for Sydnie's baptism. It happened to be on Halloween. We stayed there and celebrated with them. They had an awesome neighborhood to trick or treat in. They all have decorated doors, spook alleys, and give great treats. 

We rode around on a trailer with straw. It was a really warm evening too. 

Hayden meeting his cousin Ellyiott.

Winter is officially here. It snowed this week. At least the girls were excited to play in it.
