^^I love when our kids are all dressed up for church- I especially love it when we have some element of matchiness! I tried to get a picture of these cute brothers but Jase wasn't going to have it and Ellie wanted in too...so this is what we got!^^
^^Ellie and Brig (especially Brig) love to color and draw during Sacrament meeting (we make them wait until after the Sacrament is passed but they are begging for paper and crayons as soon as it is over). One Sunday Brig asked Cory to draw a house and Ellie asked me to draw one. Then they colored them. I thought the comparison was pretty indicative of their little personalities and the difference between boys and girls!^^
^^I will post more on this later but just to make sure it is on the record. Brig and Ellie have their first real job! They are hauling wood for an elderly lady in a wheelchair that lives near us every Monday. They get paid $5 each ever week and their savings is adding up fast! It is more of a family affair but they have to work hard- and it isn't always pleasant. It has been so good for them!^^
^^When I am pregnant I usually start to feel pretty frumpy and want to change my hair. So my friend chopped it off for me and I LOVE it! (I guess this technically happened at the end of October)^^
^^One day while Brig was at school and Jase napped, Ellie and I made cookies. She made her cute little ones in her easy bake oven and loved it. She is such a little homemaker already. She loved that Brig preferred hers to mine!^^
^^Just a snapshot of victory! Taking 3 kids grocery shopping is no small task...in fact I think it could be an Olympic sport. Especially with our almost 2 year old little ball of independence and energy!^^
^^Great- Grandma Jensen made pillowcases for each of the kids. They love them and are spoiled to have so many grandparents and great-grandparents that dote on them!^^
^^One day we got to church and as we were getting out of the car Ellie announced that she didn't have shoes! The crazy girl walked out of the house without them! Luckily the weather was still quite pleasant so it wasn't a big deal!^^
^^The kids were pleased as punch when they looked out one morning and saw the ground covered in snow! They hurried and put on some warm clothes and made a cute little snowman before Brig had to rush off to school.^^
^^Jase can be so sweet when we put him down (most nights) and will give me the cutest looks. It just melts my heart sometimes.^^
^^Cory had left his shoes outside on our back porch for some time and one day he went to put them on and found this Black Widow hiding inside. Creepy!!!^^
^^Our kids have loved playing hide and seek in our rental. Cory gets really creative when he helps them find good hiding places. This was one of our favorites because it took Brig quite a while to realize why he could hear them giggling but couldn't see them in the closet.^^
^^Probably one of my favorite traditions that we have started with our little family is our Thankful Tree. This year we renamed it our ThanksGiving Tree so that we could include not only leaves of things that we are grateful for but we could fill the trunk with as many different services we had given that month. I loved keeping track- it pushed us to do more than we would have normally!^^
