Domesticating Girls...

Last Friday my mom and sisters and I spent all day canning applesauce. It had been a long time since we had tried to do this but all went fairly well. We canned like 48 quarts! I was very proud of us! Thanks mom for teaching us the ropes!! Katie came down to join the fun and we got to spend some time with cute little Max. He has changed so much since I last saw him and is quite the ham. Kris came with Katie and so we also got the hang with him. It was great to have the whole fam around! Thanks for coming guys!


Some of the finished product!



HAPPY 17TH KODY!!
We all went to dinner and had cake for Kody's birthday last weekend. You can see how he is sooo cool these days and won't look at the camera for a birthday pic!!

Kade's 5th Birthday!!

Kade had his 5th birthday last week! It was quite the eventful week at our house. I can't beleive he is 5 years old!! We had a family party on his birthday and he had a friend party over the weekend. Both were very fun! Kade's favorite part was the presents which he got a lot of and really nice ones. Thank you everyone for sharing the day with us and thank you so much for the presents! Also, I want to take a poll of which birthday cake everyone thinks is best. I want to give a shout out to Kari for helping with the friend party! I really appreciate it!!

Happy Halloween!!

We had a very exciting Halloween! We started off by going to my dad's office to trick or treat and get a cupcake. I made both of the boys take a nap before hand and that is why Jeff looks like a dead head! It was very fun and they got tons of candy just there but we still had more to do. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's and to Aunt Kassie and Stevens to trick or treat too! After that we went to Megan and Brett's for pizza and trick or treating again in the neighborhood! The kids were great! Jeff even got the hang of it! Kade and Maddie were pretty much pros! They got tons of candy and were pretty tuckered out by the end of the night! Fun times!!
