I wish time would slow down


So I can't believe my boy is 17,  Tanner Jakey Poo, is my nickname for this amazing boy.  He is so smart (genius level) he is so easy going, he is so dedicated to being healthy.  He is so funny and defiantly motivates me to me a better person.  I have already told him he can never leave me and has to live with us forever.
Tanner's a lucky boy, he shares his birthday with his cute puppies.  Charlie wanted in on the birthday action.
Tanner got a radio for his car for his birthday,  he liked it I think:)
here are the boys installing the new radio

We had a little b-day party for him that night with the fam.
fun grave yard cake, tanner was nice enough to let me have fun with his cake

Kaden went to a Halloween dance with this girl, her name is Maddy, Kaden said the dance was torture.  Funny boy
I love my yard, that is until this fall, the trees were beautiful but as soon as the leaves fell all I saw was work.  There were so many leaves.
Kaden has been such a good helper lately.
Carving pumpkins
Leaf angles
Our carving master pieces

Kaden is so obsessed with Pokemon right now

The rake just wasn't cutting it, actually the leaf blower was no match for all our leaves:(
This is our foreign exchange student Helga.
Just kidding, it's Tanner  He makes a pretty woman.  I wish I was that thin:)
Kali's cave woman
Kali's friend Michelle
Kaden is a pokemon master, I can't remember his exact name

This picture is just wrong
My dogs even got in on the action.  We actually entered them in a costume contest at Petco and they got first place:)
Kali and her friends Michelle and Jenny
Checking out the loot
Kali said she has always wanted to jump in a huge pile of leaves, well this yard delivered.  Charlie loved it too

The unexpecting Charlie

A couple of our trees were so yellow
We also had thousands of acorns we filled up a city garbage can with them. and they were huge.  This is Kali's acorn bike
Ok on to the snow.  The dogs loved it and are still loving it.  They play in it all day long, makes for a very wet messy house
Kali thought Charlie was cold so she gave him her vest.
We had a great visit with Nana,  We took her to city creek, it is so beautiful this time of year.
Kali loves Mike and Ikes
My mom got a new puppy from my uncle Joel, her name was zoe but was changed to chloe when we found out the amazing news of Weston and Brandon's new little girl on the way at the end of Dec.  What is cuter than Xander and Zoe.
Kevin took on the challenge of cooking the Turkey for Thanksgiving.  I heard they were delicious.  Good job Kev.
Creepy
We love the snow so far,  The kids love to play in it.  It has been so cold though highs in the low 20's.

I triple dog dare ya

we live right by a few school with great sledding hills.
frozen sun rise
Kali had performance at festival of trees,  I haven't been there since I performed there when I was her age.  It is really cool.  And Kali did a great job, I love watching her dance
Ratatouille tree, it's one of Kevin and Kali's favorite movie
My Kali loves to perform, she has signed up to do a solo for her first competition.  
Arie and Mylie also performed, I didn't get a picture of Mylie, but Arie is so darn cute
Santa Charlie, everytime the dogs go outside they come in with their faces covered with snow
Christmas shopping.  funny boys

more snow play



not fun to clean these snowy dogs
love my kiddos so much


our frozen view
I feel so bad for my boys every morning.  It is so cold out, single digits
The roads have been so snowy and icey,  no accidents so far (fingers crossed)

We have a small hill in our back yard Charlie had a great time sledding




Rylie had a busy day playing in the snow:)  she was poooped
