Thanksgiving

It has been a long time since I have posted, but we have been busy traveling to Utah. We went for Thanksgiving and saw Nany and Papa and our cousins and aunts. It was a great time. To top it all off we went to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point and rode on a carriage. The kids loved the horse. I love Christmas lights and this time of the year.

HALLOWEEN

Dallin was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and Elise was Tinkerbell. For some reason Dallin really wanted to be Buzz Lightyear, so I looked all over for this costume and found it on sale at the Disney Store. He had so much fun. Elise did not want to be Tinkerbell, she wanted to be Spiderman or Buzz Lightyear. Finally, I convinced her to be Tinkerbell. She looked so cute. Halloween was tons of fn. We got plenty of candy.

Jayden is almost 6 weeks Old

It's so crazy how fast 6 weeks can fly. Time has really gone by fast. I have been thinking that I need to get more pictures of Jayden before he goes through a growth spurt. He is already getting so big, and is really cute. He has such funny things that he does with his mouth, and he has even smiled a few times. We sure love him a lot. Here are some pictures of our little boy.

Snow in Reno

Many people think that when we say that we live in Nevada that it is hot. But here is proof that it's not, our first snow of the year in October. We even made a witch snowman for Halloween. Of course the snow melted within one hour; not like Iowa where we had snow that didn't melt for four months. We had fun in the snow and Dallin and Elise were so excited to break into our winter clothes and have some hot chocolate. It was a great day!!

What did we do today??

Justin comes home every day and asks us what we did that day. I sometimes don't have much to say even though I know we did a lot. Justin will just never understand what we do all day, but here are some pictures some things that we do during our long adventurous days at home.Dallin and Elise having a snack.

Dallin and Elise love riding around in Dallin's tractor. It is kind of scary for Mom if they get going too fast. Here they had just gotten done painting with pudding. (so fun!!!)

Bar Exam

Post by Justin:

Well, I just lost than 15 pound wait I felt I had as a lump in my chest the last couple of days. The bar exam results are out, and somebody at the Nevada State Bar will probably get fired because somehow, I slipped through the cracks.

Anyways, I was at a Special Master meeting with 8 attorneys and a mediator, and the partner from our firm that I was attending with actually called his secretary during the meeting, and then announced to everybody that I had passed the bar. He had been messing with me for weeks about it, but since he announced like that, I figured he had to be telling me the truth. (I still checked the list myself to make sure). Anyways, I can relax now for the first time in 2 1/2 months.

Life With "3"

Baby Jayden is really cute. Elise says, "baby Jayden cute". Dallin always wants to hold baby Jayden. They both love him a lot. Life definately is a little more tiring for
mommy, but it is so wonderful when she looks into these little faces. It is crazy how fast time goes by.
I look at newborn pictures of Elise and Dallin and I can barely remember those days. I try to remember this during the middle of the night. It is so fun to look at his face and hear his noises. Sometimes our house is a little crazy and I wonder if Jayden is thinking what have I been born into?
