Happy Thanksgiving

Ok- so I didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving day -too busy cooking! We enjoyed the day with our friends. Eating, football, games, and more eating.

Black Friday was a joy! I was at Kohls at 4am, got a great deal on luggage and didn't even have to wait in line. The 4am was definitely worth it. The crazy ones are those who go at 9am and wait in a line that wraps around the entire store! That was me last year. Our other exciting deal was a digital camera! Finally! You will be seeing higher quality pictures soon! Or at least I will when I print them out.


Saturday we spent decorating the house with Christmas! Merry Christmas!!

Setting up the tree - Daddy's little helper!


Have a seat





Dallin and Isaac's favorite part - ornaments!





Remembering Grandpa John (Nate's dad) and Grandma King (Deborah's mom)

Proud decorators!

Dallin took this picture!

Walking

The teaching tool! Landen loves this little walker. He goes he walks all through the house with it and can maneuver it really well. It is cute to watch.


Trying it on his own!



Gotta keep up with the big brothers




Hi everyone! I'm walking now!!

An Old Man

Nate turned 30! He started the day off reading his birthday book. I compiled some notes from family and friends who each shared a memory, or something they admire about Nate, or a simple birthday wish. Thanks everyone who was involved, I know he appreciated it and felt very loved. In the afternoon we had Nate's favorite Applesauce cake and opened presents. Then we had a wonderful date at the temple and out to dinner. It was a great day.






Family History books! These books are about some of Nate's ancestors. He has waited a long time for these! Thank you Grandma Jorgensen!


A new dress coat!


Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!

Isaac is 4!

Isaac turned 4 on Nov. 6th. We invited some neighbor kids and friends over for a Wall-E birthday party!

Logan, Isaac, Nathan, Mikey, Dallin (grumpy because Josh took his red balloon), and Josh.


Say WaaaaLL -EEEE


Pizza!! (Dallin still grumpy)


We had a scavenger hunt around the house and backyard. The clues were inside balloons that had to be popped to receive the next clue. The kids were very excited and enjoyed it thoroughly!

finding more balloons with clues! - Yes we need to do some serious raking!


Isaac grew tired of the hunt, and decided to lounge in the leaves. I love this picture because it was seriously in the middle of all the action. I looked around to see Isaac looking bored out of his mind! At his own birthday party! It was too cute!
The scavenger hunt led to a Wall-E cake. - much more exciting!





And finally presents! Poor Isaac could hardly open and look at the gift without someone attacking him!
Behind Isaac is Mikey, the boy who lives next door and with whom we spend most of our time. I have never met a happier child, he is always happy and excited! - here he is very pleased with the card he made for Isaac.


The best present was saved for last!



Happy Birthday Isaac! We love you!

Fun Halloween Week

We had a great Halloween week! It started with a trunk-or-treat at the church on Sat. Dad was a Boise State fan (Go Broncos!!), Mom was a robot, Dallin was a blue power ranger, Isaac a red power ranger, and Landen was Superman.


Landen was on the go all night, it was hard to get a good picture of him in his cute costume.


Pumpkin Bowling!

Don't Eat Pete! - Isaac's favorite game!



My helper
or theif?


Pumpkin carving!
Dallin and Isaac were so excited to carve pumpkins. However they wanted nothing to do with gooey goop, so they watched me cut the tops off, and they were done - downstairs they went to play. They came back up when I was almost finished and Dallin said, "Mom I love carving pumpkins!"


He also told me I was "the best pumpkin carver in the world" and took my picture. That made it all worth it!



Halloween Day! We had some friends over to decorate cookies



The weather was gorgeous! We went outside to play in the leaves!
Dallin working hard



Isaac and Landen playing hard





Dallin, proud of his hard earned pile


Then of course Trick -or-Treating! This was actually after they were done. Dallin did not want his picture taken because he was sweating hot!! That's the first time I've heard that on a Halloween night! The night was so nice. Landen and I sat outside on the porch to hand out candy.

Happy Halloween Everybody!!
