Wilson

We took this picture yesterday at Home Goods. It is for mom...she loves Annalie dolls, and has lots of them...but none this big! Wilson and I laughed that the doll was taller than him!

Wilson is growing up so fast. He loves to read, and now he loves to write! Every night he reads in bed for 30 to 45 minutes. Now he has started writing in bed. The other night he came out to read me what he had written for me, and then his dad. He is such a good little boy, and has such a tender heart. There are some obvious spelling errors, but for a first grade I think he is doing fantastic!

Christmas Lights

Ken is putting up the Christmas lights this afternoon. He hasn't put them up in a couple of years, because of the weather, so it is fun to see them go up this year. When the weather is cooperating, Ken is always such a good sport at putting our lights up.

When I went outside to check on Ken's progress, I saw our neighbor putting up his lights...

He isn't having to climb up and down the ladder like Ken is... This process looks a whole lot easier:)

Happy Thanksgiving

This is the sunrise this morning, Wilson and I really enjoyed it together!

What a great looking "rafter of turkeys"!

The lynx really liked its pumpkin!

This morning we went to the Zoo, it was so much fun! The boys were so excited that dad was going with us this time.

Ken having fun with his boys!

Tired Josef

The time change has completely messed Josef up! He is usually up by 5am, and goes to bed at about 7:30-8pm, oh, and did I mention he refuses to take naps! November has been a very tired month for Josef. I am hoping he is turning the corner, because this morning he slept in until 6am! When I picked up Holden from preschool, Josef fell asleep in the car. I haven't been able to transfer him successfully lately, so I just brought him in the house. Moments later he was crashed out on the sofa, and I was able to take him to his bed for a nap, yippee!

Wilson's Wrestling Tournament

Wilson's first opponent. He won this series of three matches.

Wilson second opponent. He lost the series of three matches.

Wilson came in second out of these four boys. He was so pleased with himself! I giggled at his size, he is clearly the smallest boy out of the four. When he weighed in, at the beginning of the season, he weighed 46 lbs. 4 ozs, so he has been wrestling kids that weigh 46 - 55 lbs. I was so impressed with his perseverance. He just kept going and trying. I would have totally given up! He is excited to do it again next year.

Josef, Stone, and Sam

I picked up Stone this morning, and so I have the three little guys. I think Stone and Josef make Sam a little nervous! Stone and Josef are quite the pair! I am so grateful Stone lives close, and that Josef and Stone love playing with each other!

Sleepy Holden

Holden is such a good sleeper. He is the BEST sleeper of the three boys. He falls asleep fast, and can sleep through about anything! Last night Ken, Wilson, and Holen were watching the BYU basketball game. It was about 7:30pm, and I heard Ken ask him if he was falling asleep, Ken told him to just go to bed. He told his dad he was just going to lay on the floor, and listen to the game with his eyes closed... Holden was out for the count!
