Arrow of Light

In January Keaton had his Arrow of Light ceremony for scouts. He was so excited to get his arrow. He displays it proudly in his room. He has enjoyed scouts very much. I am so proud of him for all of his accomplishments.Nanna and Grandpa were there to support him on his big night.
The young man that did his presentation was awesome. We are lucky to have him in our area to make the scouts night extra special.
Proud mom!

Just clowning around

This was taken at Keaton's birthday party. The pictures are out of order......the story goes......Carter came up for breakfast with a clown wig on. We thought he was pretty silly and didn't expect to see him that way, it was just out of the blue. Keaton was demonstrating the look along with the story.
This is how Carter came into breakfast that morning. What a silly kid. We just love him.

Two Good Looking Brothers

Talon was so excited to be able to leave his class to watch his brothers program. Good Lookin' boys!

Carter's winter sing

Cater sang his little heart out at for his Winter sing in preschool. My favorite song that they sang was "Here comes Suzy Snowflake". Prior to the program Carter would sing that song to me to and from school. He sounded so stinkin' cute, I just wanted him to sing it over and over to me. Once their was a snowman......
Mmmmm, not sure that he is diggin' the scarf they had the kids wear.
Cute boy! He was so excited to give us the Christmas gift he got to make at school. It was a cute little hand-print and a sweet saying to go along with it.

Got rid of an ol' friend

The boys were sad to see their playhouse go......it had been around since Keaton was about 2 I think. It was just time. It was turning into a jumping platform, a catch all for junk when cleaning the basement, and a battle ground. They loved that thing though! They would use it as an addition to their blanket forts, a hideout, and an "I'm free" spot when playing games.

They begged me to keep it around. They were just getting to big for it. Even Carter was taller than the door. Yep it had to go : ( We love the new space we have now.
Peace! The cute little family that bought it is has 2 little girls. It was going to be their Christmas present. I am happy that is will continue to bring joy and excitement to more little ones.

Day before Thanksgiving Knudsen/Johnson dinner

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. The day before we celebrated with Rick's family. Rick and I hosted at our home. I think it turned out really nice. We had 18 people for dinner. All went well and the company was great. It was so nice to see the Johnson's again! Lots and lots of delicious food!
The boys at the No Adults Aloud table : ) They thought they were pretty hot stuff!

Day before Thanksgiving bunch!

The day before Thanksgiving we had the opportunity to host some of Rick's family for dinner. They came from Minnesota, Arizona, and Provo. We had such a great time with them. The dinner turned out nice and the company was great.

Our last family picture was when Talon was 3 months old. He is now 7.
One of my favorite parts of getting together was taking 3 of my cute nieces to a Zumbathon! It was so fun to have them along. We went a bit after dinner so we were stuffed but still had a great time. They are troopers, they borrowed my workout clothes and shoes and just went for it. Thanks girls! Love ya!
