So Big

Lila is getting to be so big! She is a month away from being nursery age (18months) and just a super cutie.  Her newest things are folding her arms for prayers and then saying amen, climbing on anything she can little monkey and lots of new words.  She has her daddy wrapped super tight around her finger and she is just sweet as can be.  She loves her brothers, especially dallin and she loves to go to the park and ride her bike.  Everytime we go anywhere or come home from anywhere she wants to get a juicebox out of the fridge in the garage (she learned that one from Brig).  The other day Tara was over and was borrowing our computer, I was in my closet cleaning it out and her and Hyrum were just kind of going back and forth where they were playing.  It got really quiet and I hadn't seen them for a while so I asked Brig, who was helping me in the closet to go check on the babies (he wanted to know why, like I was some sort of crazy person) apparently at the same time, Tara got a strong impression to go check on them too.  She found the front door open (Brig had gone out earlier and forgot to lock it and Hyrum is soooo tall he can open doors at 1 years old!!) anyway she found them across the street Hyrum in the grass by the park and Lila at the top of the slide!!!! Yikes.  Talk about having a heart attack!  I don't think we will live that one down for a long time.  We definately learned our lesson and those sweet babies had angels watching out for them that they didn't get ran over by a car or something scary like that.  Little stinker knows how to get into trouble!  Lila also has decided she likes to watch movies but only the ones with lots of music/singing so she can dance along.  It is really cute cuz she kind of Moo's for movie and points at the TV and gets the controller out and tries to use it.  It is her new little morning ritual to get her blanket and a cup of milk and kind of wake up to a movie.  She is so cute I can't tell her no, but her brothers have a really hard time getting ready for school with the TV on they have to watch (even princess movies) so we are going to have to figure out a different time to let her watch a movie.  Anyway, Lila is amazing and super fun and cute but she is getting so big, she is definately a toddler not a baby anymore, which is fun but kind of sad, maybe that means it is time for another one?....

Happy Halloween!

 We had our annual Halloween soup/party with the Marble family and it was yummy and fun like always.  They kids had a great time playing and passing out candy in their costumes even though we didn't go trick or treating this year.  We did go to gpa Brad and Steve's  ward trunk or treats though so they still got lots of candy and plenty of wear out of their costumes.  I was super cheap this year and didn't buy any costumes, I told them they had to wear what we had.  There was a little fighting over who got to be what but it turned out good.  Alden was transformer bumblebee, Dallin was the white ninja guy from G.I. Joe, Brig was a Jedi from Star Wars and Lila just got to wear her cute outfit Gma Janice bought her last year that was way too big and fit her perfect this year.  I bought a witch had to wear with it but the wind kept blowing it off her head so we stuck a bow on instead. 

 Most of the Marble cousins gathered for a picture.  We were missing a few, it is near impossible to get everyone in a pic at the same time. 

 Besides Brig's regular preschool party at Mrs. Ambers Brig also went to Mrs. Aunt Tara's preschool party.  She is doing a trial run of preschool this year and so her nieces and nephews get to be the test subjects.  She was nice enough to invite Ryker to the party too.  They kids had a ton of fun and made cute crafts and treats.

Brig showing off his cute treats he made.  We sure had a good time this Halloween with all the different school and church activities.  It was a fun week!

Brig's preschool pumpkin patch field trip

 Tara and Tanya came along with us this year to the pumpkin patch to check it out.  We had so much fun and were glad they came with.  Mrs. Amber took us to a different place than we had been in the past and we loved it! There was so much for the kids to do.  At the enterance...Holly, Londyn, Hyrum, Brig and Lila.

 Brig, Ryker, and Londyn posing for some cute pics.

 Lila, Brig, and Londyn with the pumpkins waiting to get started.

 Best buddies Ryker and Brig.  They are going to have so much fun going through school together!

 Tractor ride.  They had the cutest little train put together; the kids loved it.  It was so much fun to go on a ride being pulled by a tractor in their own little car thing.

 Brig learning how to milk a cow.  This may come in handy someday if Scott every gets his wish of having his own cow!!

 Brig showing off how strong he is.

 Brig trying to knock down the crows.  There were lots of cute games for the kids to play.

 Checking out some of the animals.

 Playing on the playground.  The weather was perfect.  It was breezy and overcast.  Nice and cool out.  It sprinkled for just a second and that was it.  It was really nice to be outdoors.

Lila and Hyrum, the scarecrows!

 Ryker and Brig on the teeter-totter.  They weigh about the same so they kind of just leveled out every once in a while. It was kind of funny.

 Aunt Jaime being a sport and helping out on the other side of Londyn's teeter-totter, then Tanya had to help out to give Londyn some weight!

 Ryker, Brig, and Londyn going through the hay maze.  They sure had fun running all around in there.  The boys were ducking down trying to hide it was so funny.

 We had so much fun riding these cute little bikes on a mini track.  We had so much fun.  Even Lila loved it!

 Seeing how tall we all are this year!

This place is a really fun place to be.  The kids all had so much fun and it was a great morning.  We finished it off by having lunch with all the cousins that were there with us at Chic-fil-a down the street and it was a really nice field trip.

Fall Break (day 3) Disneyland/California Adventure

 So beside the fact that I am way behind on keeping my blog updated, I am also so computer illiterate that all my pics are out of order and I don't know how to fix it, so yes I am a dork, but you already knew that huh.  Brig and Dallin posing with Mr. Incredible (Alden was apparently too cool and wouldn't get in the picture).

 Minnie Mouse with her outstretched hands waiting to hug all the kids.  Lila loved her from afar, but up close she was terrified. 

 The Marble clan saying hi to mater and lightning mcqueen. We all crouched down to be on Lila's level and so she decided she had to sit like the rest of us.  That girl has such a cute personality!

 In the morning grabbing some breakfast before we headed into the park.  We tried to stay cheap by packing alot of our own food.  Next time we will remember to stay at a hotel with a free breakfast!

 Brig always has a silly face when he knows you are taking his picture so I really loved this pic of him cuz it is so natural and his real happy smile.

 Lila making a mess with her cereal bar. 

 Brig and Daddy on the bumper cars. Brig had fun getting to be the driver and steer the wheel to crash into people.

 Heidi and Jalyn bumping into Alden.

 Dallin coming after Aunt Heidi and Jalyn while she is getting bumped behind by Uncle Ryan and Ryker.

 While I know that I am the most ridiculous looking in these pics and if I knew how to crop pictures I might have just removed myself from it, I had to post it cuz the boys looked so cute.

 I absolutely love Brigs face in this picture.  Mine is pretty funny too.  Too bad there are a couple old guys we don't know in with us. 

 Jalyn and Dallin on the jelly fish ride. This was the longest wait for the shortest ride ever.  Kind of dumb but the kids liked it.
