The Holidays Are Here!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Thank you our McCall family it was great.

We found her like this Monday morning. Jeff woke early and turned on the Christmas lights. We have no idea how long she had been asleep like this. Our perfect little Christmas angel.

Halloween

Our Halloween was a busy one! First we had to go to the BSU game.

This one is for you Joe!!

Good Games for the "big boys." That is the Kyle Wilson.

And of course Trick or Treatn! She is a Leopard Ballerina. By her design.

Loving the Girl Time!!

The Women's Fitness Celebration Walk. A tradition in my family for about 9 years. Thanks MOM!!

Geo caching in Emmett. We called it a treasure hunt. We had a blast with Dad and Grandpa Hankins.

Well since we were in Emmett we have got to spin a little dirt. "Go over the jumps again Mom."

Dad thought that it would be great to make sugar cookies with Annabelle, so they made them and I got to help her frost them. Notice more frosting on me than the cookie. That is okay with me yummy!

The "Girls Game!" We got a little wet. But had a blast anyways. The lil girls even got a picture with a cheerleader! Go Broncos!!

Does she REALLY?

So at our house we have been struggling with naps and bed time. We got Anna a big girl bed, the first month amazing she was so good. Well she has discovered how to fall off! So she will fall off and come into our bed at any hour of the night. Naps have become an every other day thing, unless I just wipe her out with all sorts of activities. Well here are a few pictures that I found of her this past month!!! She really does sleep to my surprise. Oh and we are napping in big girl panties!!!

Yellowstone!

We had the amazing oppurtunity to go to Yellowstone Natl Park with my family. Yes the whole Family. It was so much fun. It is great to watch the kids see animals up close and to experience their excitment when they finally get to see that darn sleeping Grizzly Bear. Hooray we saw a Grizzly Bear.

Still More!

Our camping trip to Boulder Reservoir.

Anna's first hike!

She loved riding, she even spotted a deer before Jeff and I did. That's my girl!

Yes, she even got to hike a little.

Us at the top, at Boulder Lake. She is a great camper, very patient and very helpful. Yeah!!!

More July fun.

Swimming at the Hunsakers....notice the floaters and all by herself, she is a daredevil.

Office work with Lucy, they got fingerprints all over the front door. Makes me proud.

Another night in the tent, notice that she stole my bed, I thought that it would be a great idea to put her crib mattress in the tent then maybe she would sleep on her own side, well I got out to shower before she woke up and I got out to find this.

As far a entertainment goes, we went to the Snake River Stampede. Love the girls in their outfits. I got to go to the Kenny Chesney concert, and to the Canyon County Fair to see Little Big Town. I love summer!

Just another tent outing, I love this picture.

Catch up!

Us at the Bean Museum in Provo.

Katie and Annabelle rocking Lagoon!

After the Log Run and a ton of RAIN.Happy 4th in Wells, NV.

Well this month has been crazy! To start out the month we all went to Utah to take my cousin Ben to the MTC. It was a great trip! Some highlights were: We went to Balanced Rock. We drove through the Salt Flats...very cool. I got to go through the Salt Lake Temple with my whole family!! Then I got to take my little one through the Mt. O temple open house. We dropped Elder K off and got to see some Museums. Then we hit Lagoon! Got rained on at Lagoon. But it was still fantastic. Then we went to Wells NV for the 4th of July. Jeff had to finish Amy's kitchen remodel. Actually Wells had a great fireworks show. Happy 4th.

My little Helper.

"Momma I want to help you." The other night we made pizza for dinner. She helped me with everything. She mixed the dough, counted the flour cups, helped me grate the cheese, well more so ate the cheese, tried to open the sauce. The we patted out the dough, added the sauce, well she licked the sauce, "momma I have some sauce," lick "momma I have some more," lick. then we added the pepperoni, she ate some, then the pinneapple, she ate some, then the cheese, she would spread some out then eat some more. It was so much fun. I love that she wants to do so much.

Another Trip to the Dirt!

Trouble! Don't worry no helmets, no motors running!

Dad helping Annabelle drive. It is still hard for her to turn the throttle. She went downhill a bit all by herself. So of course we are freaking out with excitement.
Now you know what we have gotten ourselves into. Now where has she seen this before....Dad!?!

Okay this maybe Mom's fault...Rock On!!

So now you can see what we are up to! Riding, Riding, and more Riding. If you ask my daughter that is all that she wants to do. My favorite quote "A family that plays together, stays together!"

A Staycation!

Every now and then you need to just get outside. Well when you are super swamped and life is just too busy, just park it in your backyard and sleep outside. To explain the pictures this is Annabelle hearing the train, she loves to hear the train. The second picture is in the morning, she actually sleep in till about 8:00. That is late for her when the sun is shining into her "bedroom," and you can hear the neighboors sprinklers.

Swing Time!

It is finally the season to play outside in the backyard. Every night Annabelle would beg us to go to Uncle Joes to play. Well they have a trampoline and a swingset and a slide...every lil girls dream. So we found the perfect set, all three. This is Brian pushing her on the swing and throwing Annabelle up off of the trampoline. Notice the joy in her eyes as well as his. Of course Dad is hard at work putting it all together to make his lil girls dreams come true...got to love him.

Momma I wanna go riding!

This past weekend we went out to Rabbit Creek to go riding. The weather was beautiful, the company was awesome, we had a wonderful time. Thank you family. My sister in law took our family pictures...Thank you. Notice the joy on Annabelle's face. Yeah!!
