January happenings

 Owen's first day of Primary....

 It'll take a while for him to get used to it...

 But the class is entirely his friends. The next day after taking this picture I went out and bought Owen three new sunday outfits so he didn't look like such a scrounge.

 Bought Emma a new vest, but Owen is the king of the runway.

 My printer has arrived!

 

Dropping Emma off at kindergarten

Everyday she makes us drop her off early so she can be the FIRST in line and the LINE LEADER. :D

 Ellie made muffins this morning....Owen ate muffins this morning

 Happy Birthday Pie Barry! Love you! Hot Dang! I married a hottie!

 Owen made a stingray out of a piece of ham. It was a adorable. Not pictured well.

 Owen is fascinated by my three fold mirror. He loves that he has TWO mommy's or three Mommy's or two Owen's!

 And they said that the green bananas couldn't ripen and wouldn't taste good!

 The birds are back!

 Walks with my twin to try and induce labor.

December 2019

                                 Bringing in the holiday season! ( And Cheetos)

(Extra Thanksgiving picture I forgot about)

 We got out our Christmas decorations today, there are the boxes that we store the ornaments in. (Owen is holding a plastic marlin)

 PIE

 As part of our school we're doing a Christmas Service project. We were assigned several families and individuals to bring Christmas to. We wrapped hundreds of presents, put together hygiene kits, stockings, and candy!

 We went to my parents house, Grandpa had two smiley faces.

 Hair Experiments 

 Amy got out the make-up

 We went to the bird refuge

 We went to the aquarium in Draper, Utah

Owen loved where you could go under the glass tank and have a panoramic view of the fish   

 There were little elf on the shelf elves that they placed around inside the aquariums, it was a little bit weird seeing them hiding in the shadows.

 Owen loved seeing all of the fish!

 Part of the Aquarium is centered on the Amazon, so there was lots of birds. (Ellie spent most of the time "talking" with one of the parrots).

 There is a large rope bridge that spans across the width of the floor.

 Killer whale tricks

Owen got very happy when we arrived at the poisonous frog exhibit.

 He also loved the rope bridge

 Surfing on Killer Whales

 I am a special guest

 Christmas is coming up!

 Our emergency water supply fell off a shelf in the night. So did our paper towels. Luckily. (:

 Someone has been doing the twelve days of Christmas to us, the kids love running to the door when they here the knock and finding what the gifter left us.

 Barry constructs, the kids decorate, the Owen eats!

 "My chocolate pretzel"

The DAWN Plate. Every year Barry's coworker makes us an incredible plates of treats. We look forward it it all year long. To all of the Pates means all for me, right?

 The kids did awesome on decorating

 The legend of Korra and the Cooked Carrots

 Stockings up!

 Play-date with some friends 

Barry did a awesome job on the laundry room shelf and moving the new dryer into place.

    We visited my Grandpa Griffin, he is so nice! He gives the kids their favorite books each year!

 We went to the Christmas party for my family and took part in the pageant put together by my sister.

 The wise Lauren

 Owen embraced his role as a sheep

 There were a lot more 'baa's' in this version

 We went and got ice cream ( yes, I know its December) after the party.

 Yes!

 Owen helped with the making of the pie.

The gift are getting bigger and more fruitful

                                                               MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

  Lauren's birthday! (Its Cheesecake, not pizza)

We love you Lauren Larue!
