In November we...

 ate apples,

 did puzzles,

 pretended to be Davy Crockett,

 Loved our time with Aunt Nancy!

 taught Sis how to walk,

 and had fun reading to her.

 Justin made a great Turkey,

 and I got to see my wonderful friend Shiree and her whole family!

 We played in leaves,

 but this is how I really felt about playing in leaves.

Phew! Well, that was fun! I think it's high time I relive our trip to Europe too and finally put some of those pictures up. Maybe tomorrow ;)

October, you've always been a favorite!

The kids and I went to Utah to visit my friends and to see family. Everyone was so helpful during that drive and the time we were there! Rockstars, I tell you!

 Asher and I stopped to see where the cougars play...something he'd been asking to do for a while.

 Happy to be together again after the trip!

 Kacie turned 1! What!!?? How did that happen?! She loved her cake and all the attention, and she loved her new dolly.

 My awesome in-law's, and brother Spencer, and sister-in-law Kayla all came to visit in Washington. The helped me with the long drive and then spent the weekend here with the kids so that Justin and I could go for a quick trip with some friends to a BYU game in Oregon. We had a great time! Turns out I can be kind of fun when I don't have much to worry about, who knew! ;)

I even showed a little cougar spirit and pretty much paid attention during the whole game!

 Best friends!

 Kace in her throne. She seriously spends a lot of time perched here observing everything that is going on in her kingdom! It's too funny.

 Halloween: Asher and Kacie- the Lamb and the Lion. Caleb a pirate!

 Caleb's adorable Frankenstein.

A little September...

Lots and lots of playing...

(This movie is long...and kind of embarrassing...why did I post it?)

 having fun together...

 unpacking boxes of tissues...

and spending time with Daddy!

August, I loved you!

So, quick photo recap for the grandma's and grandpa's! (and great aunts, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends of course!)

August brought:

 Light sabers...

collaborative artwork...

 Asher starting Joy School...

and bedtime stories in the backyard.

Well, hello little bloggie-boo...

Wow, I've really missed this blog. I've missed you! Hopefully I haven't lost everyones interest just because I, you know, haven't posted in 4 months.  Oh, well! I sure hope all is wonderful with you! Things are good here :) Always changing. I signed in to try and remember how to blog again and even blogger has changed!

I'm not quite sure how to even start to sum up the last little while. So...I'd better just start with the cutest thing I've got. Her name is Miss Kacie Noelle. She's 14 months old, has seven teeth, loves to scream "stop!", and can melt your heart in an instant.

On Friday, while Kacie and I were reading in her room she found a little stash of headbands. The very same ones that I used to put on her head and she pulled right off. That little game got old for Mama so she never really wore them, but boy, suddenly she wanted them on. All of them!

Okay, friends, until next time!

He's THREE!

This handsome little guy is three today! He's such an entertaining birthday boy. He was practically shaking this morning with excitement as we celebrated before Justin went to work. Then, while we were painting with his new paint set he was singing to himself "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me, happy birthday Caleb Spencer Carrier, happy birthday to me!"

Oh boy, I love this kid! Caleb's motto is "Go big, or go home". He know's what he wants. He is so polite and thoughtful. His story telling skills are killer! He is so much fun to be around because he makes you feel like a million bucks. I'm so glad he's mine!

Now, we're off to have the best day ever.

Never before seen pictures...

These pictures are for Jeremy because he called and said he missed seeing new pictures of his niece and nephews. I told him the sad story about how the hard drive in my computer crashed a while ago and we haven't fixed it yet. All the pictures were thankfully saved to back-up, but until we fix it it's way too inconvenient to get to my more recent photos of the kids to post. So, I thought I'd see if there were any old pictures on Justin's lap top to use. I found this little series that I love. This was on the drive out to Washington when we moved here over a year ago. We were in the final stretch of the long drive. The boys had about had it. So, I played the game of taking pictures of their silly faces to try to entertain and cheer them up. As I recall it worked.

So, there you go. See you soon!
