A November to Remember





Down in Hurricane ready to get to work!

It looks like we're going to need a truck.

First load to the dump.

You've got dirt on your nose, by the way.  Did you know?  Just there.

Second load to the dump.

We found some wagon wheels.

An then quite a few tires
(this is after taking 8 to the dump already)

Time for a trip to the scrap metal yard.
2000 lbs, $50.

It's looking a little tidier.

We've got plenty of garbage cans.

Meanwhile, Grammy was teaching Caleb to play cards.

And Grumpy was teaching him not to be afraid of heights.

Making Shrinky dinks!

1, 2, 3.......

Jump!


My turn!



Carter joined in too.

When your face gets cold during a walk.

Jayden made a great crown for Caleb.

Visiting the Butterfly Biosphere.

Where are the butterflies?

There's one!

Caleb was glad there was also a spider.

Little cowboy

Beautiful cowgirl

Headless horseman

Carter covers his face, Caleb and Jayden look down, and Grammy tries to escape.
No one wants their picture taken.


They finally cooperate.
Thanks guys!

Horses in sheep's clothing.

The headless horseman returns.

Tractor!!!

Looking at dinosaur fossils with Grumpy.

After all that playing, waiting for dinner is hard.

The big kids got their own table.
They were very happy with it.

Family back rubs.

Baby burrito.
"Let me out!"

Like my sunglasses?

Like my hat?

Family night at the movie theater.  Caleb actually made it through most of the movie.

Making a pumpkin

Ta-da!

Time for a movie.
Jayden is not thrilled to share her chair with her brothers.

Puppy and kitty BFFs.

Field trip tour of the workspace where they clean up the dinosaur fossils.

Caleb helped uncover some too.

It getting cold.  Break out the sweaters!

Grams and Grammy pre-thanksgiving shopping.

Mom thought Caleb's outfit was adorable, but he wasn't cooperating with her desire to get a picture.

Hey Caleb, look over here.
Gotcha!

Ok, I'll take it.

Nighttime hot tubbing.

Caleb is becoming a good little artist.

Vernal Holly Days
Wipeout challenge.

Good job!

After a while, most of the kids just laid down and let the arms just pass over them.

More pony rides!


Train ride


Grumpy would be proud of Caleb's truck-backing skills.

Make way!  Coming through!

Carter trying to out-pedal dad.

Caleb thought this slide was too steep.

Carriage ride!


Whoa!  This is awesome!


We thought those Dinos back there wouldn't mind us taking a picture in front of their tree.

We were wrong.


Pre-parade treats.

I like pre-parade treats.

Nighttime parade.

I do not like nighttime parades!

A beautiful day to go hiking with friends.


Especially when there are good rocks to climb.

Caleb was so excited to be wearing matching pjs with big brother.

I'm watching you mom.

Aaaalways watching.
