We've had the flu going through our house. Tristan is really looking forward to feeling better. Here's a list of things he plans on doing once he does. 

Tristan's to do list when he feels better

Eat a whole pack of Marshmallows

Go on a bike ride

Have 7 donuts for family home evening

Buy a treat at the store

I want to do chores

I want some medicine cause I want all the kinds of food, even lunchables

Halloween 2012

The boys had a fun Halloween.  We went to our ward Trunk or Treat the Friday before.  It was FREEZING!  Luckily it warmed up by Halloween night and we had great weather for trick or treating in our neighborhood.  

Houston Trip

We were so happy to be able to take a trip to Houston for our nephew's birthday party.  It was at the Houston Aquarium.  We had never been there before and it was a lot of fun!

 Fun with cousins!

 This was so hilarious, Devan was trying to get the parrot to talk.  Not realizing Chad was behind him he would say a word and Chad would repeat it in a parrot voice.  After a few minutes he finally realized it was his dad, hehe.

 This is how group pictures usually go with they boys and me :)

 So cool the boys got to see their grandparents!

 Dev and Tris were so brave to go on this ride!  I wish I could have got more of Tristan's expressions, he was hilarious to watch!

 The boys were so excited to stay at a hotel.  They've only stayed in them a couple of times and think it's the coolest!

Fun dinner

My boys got a kick out of this...

 I told them we were having octopus for dinner and they were all "eeeeeeewww... gross!"

 They ate every bite :)

Football Fall 2012

The boys had a lot of fun with football this fall and learned a lot!  They both did great.  I got a kick at how aggressive Tristan was.  He would pull flags and refuse to give them back until a ref got there.  

Six flags

Chad's work had a family day at six flags.  The boys had a lot of fun!

 The way this girl is looking at Devan just cracks me up, hehe.

preschool 2012

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures of Tristan's first day of preschool :(  Bad Mom!  I taught Tristan's first month of preschool in the preschool co-op we participate in.  I really love being able to do this.  These are such a fun group of kids.  Tristan looks forward to preschool every week, and loves that he gets to go to school at his friends houses!

 The first month we did a "Tall Tale" theme.  This week it was Pecos Bill.  The kids had fun making stick horses and participating in a rodeo!

first day of school

Here's some pictures from Devan's first day of 1st grade!  This year has gone so well so far.  He has the sweetest teacher.  She is just what Devan has needed.  I've seen his attitude about school turn around, and he has gained more confidence.  I'm so proud of this boy and the hard work he's put in this year!

 We had just got home from a 5 week vacation the night before, so he was a little tired!

 Devan and Mrs. Sessums

 She had these cute gift bags for all the kids.

 Silly Devan :)
