November 2017

Here is a compilation of pictures from November of 2017:

As you can see from the following few pictures, Brenna is always wanting some stuffed animal friends to sleep with her :) Brenna has been such an easy baby overall, but especially with naps. She is so easy to just lay her down and say it's nap time or night time and she snuggles up with her stuffed toys and says, "nigh-night" and goes to sleep. It's pretty dreamy!

Brenna went through a phase of loving
Garrett's "Hulk" toy. We were Face-timing
with my mom and she was so excited to
show her the Hulk toy, haha!

Garrett snuggling Brenna on his lap. They have
their rough patches together but really Garrett
has a soft spot for his baby sister and it's the sweetest.

The view from our backyard- I thought the clouds
were really cool.

Saying "bye" to Kimbri in the morning as she
got on the bus.

After getting so much Halloween candy, Brenna
discovered a new-found love for suckers! She was
being sneaky, eating one without asking, haha!

As the temperatures went down, the kids started wanting to eat
by the fireplace.

We scored this costume at Walmart for around $3
for the post-Halloween clearance sale. We bought
a size up and so Garrett can maybe still fit in it for next
year (we had to roll the sleeves/legs WAY up for Brenna).

It looks like Kimbri took some selfies!

Another Kimbri selfie :)

Brenna LOVES geting her nails and toenails painted.

Garrett really enjoys school. We have loved
his preschool at St. Andrews Academy!

Brenna playing babies. I love that I have little
girls that get to play with the wooden baby bed
that my Grandpa Haycock made for me when I
was a little girl. 

Having a dinner picnic by the fire.

Whipping out the winter clothes! It's starting to
get cold here in North Carolina!

The kids love walking through the Christmas
section at Walmart. They sat there and pushed
the button for on the Santas over and over to watch
them dance.

They also like to stop by the fish tanks. The
neon fish are always a hit. Maybe someday I'll
actually get a pet fish for them...

Just playing "beach" over here, wishing that it was
warmer enough to actually go to the beach!

Dawons and Stacie sent us this fun "Go Fish" game and the kids
totally love playing it!!

We decided we wanted to get the Christmas stuff up earlier than normal this year! We were all in the mood and Rick was home so we went for it! We whipped out our $5 tree that we bought at a yard sale our first year being married and we are still using it. A strand of lights finally bit the dust so we just added more on top of it, haha. 

We put this little tree upstairs next to the kids'
rooms in the hallway. My mom gave them this little
tree last year when we were living in UT and they
were so excited to put it up again!

Sometimes I feel like I blinked and she suddenly
grew up. I love this beautiful Kimbri girl with
all my heart! She's going to do great things in life.

I made rolls a week before Thanksgiving and freezing them so there is one less thing to do the day of

Crazy hair and mismatched shoes with her pjs on...

I wonder how much longer they'll all be able to
pile onto Rick...

It used to be Hulk, but now her heart
lies with Spiderman.

Brenna was sad about something and Kimbri
was trying to hug her and make her happy again.
Kimbri is always so thoughtful that way.

It was warm! So we went on a walk, in pjs and all.

The kids love for me to trace their bodies and then
they spend a lot of time drawing their face, clothes, etc...

A morning at Clark Park!

Rick got off early one day and we met up at Sam's Club for a lunch
date ( I had to go get some groceries anyway). Garrett and Kimbri
were both at school so it was fun to go on a little date with Brenna.
She was tickling Rick over and over and thought it was hilarious.

The boys.

Brenna looooooves coloring.

And she also loves doing puzzles. I can't believe how good she
is at doing them!

Kimbri wanted me to take a picture of her because
she thought it was cool that her sucker stick could
fit through her lost tooth space :)

Garrett is trapped between 2 girls and so it's only
fitting that he rides a pink bike anytime we go on a
walk, haha! We need to get him his own bike!
