My mom went all out baking this gingerbread so we could do houses. Hopefully it becomes a tradition because it was tons of fun. These are just shots of Shailee with her cousins decorating.

I always feel like I have to post a picture but here's a little up date on us without. Cole's got an awesome ability to juggle his crazy schedule, full time work, full time school, full time family and we feel for the most part that we come first. I'm amazed by him and feel really blessed that he picked me five years ago. The stress of it all seems to have taken a toll on him this week though. He caught a cold and has taken work off tonight. That's the first time since our move out here so we've been immensely blessed.
The kids and I keep a much calmer but somewhat consistent schedule. Library class for Shailee every Tuesday. Wednesdays we shop or run errands. Thursday night is movie night, we pick a movie from the library and Shailee gets to pick a snack (usually popcorn). We've watched some American Girl movies and tonight was "Ella Enchanted". Fridays we have play group, and Saturdays we usually get to see a bit more of Cole, Yeah! Then Sunday's are by far the best. Even wrestling the babies in sacrament meeting can't take away the joy of getting to be together for an entire day.
I just can't express how right it was for us to make this move to WV. We've received so much in friendship and learning experiences. As cheesy as it is I've got to quote it, "Almost heaven, West Virginia." We joke about it all the time, but maybe it just feels like heaven when you're in the right place at the right time.

Here we are in Southern UT for the Christmas Hollidays. It felt incredibly cold that day and we were sick so it's not us at our best but as Lisa (Cole's mom) says, "It's who we were then."

This was our first year trick or treating. We headed out in our stroller to a nearby neighborhood. The babies were already tired when we began so they didn't last long. They sat there a little stunned as people poured candy into there bags. It was all a workout for me we've got some awesome hills here in WV. Shailee and Hyrum were still a bit dazed as they sampled the loot. In case you are wondering, Shailee was the most beautiful princess and Hyrum accompanied her as her prince. However, do the the flare legging and massive sparkling collar, Hyrum looked more like "the King."

This is Shailee with her Nana Blair, Cole's Mom.

Some of you have probably never seen our wedding stuff. It will be five blissful years ago this September. Anyway, I love this last picture.
