Yeah for Miles!!!!

Our big guy had a birthday last month. We had such a fun day together! We had a very fancy dinner at pizza hut - Miles ate two whole pieces plus a bread stick. This boy love to eat! Then we came home for the cake. First birthdays are my absolute favorites! I am not a mom that makes a white cake with white frosting so it won't be messy - no sir. The messier the better!! Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! I want him to go to town and get it everywhere!! Well of all my kids, I knew Miles would not disappoint!! I think that the pictures speak for themselves. We love this little man so much! He has been a great addition to our family. He is so different than my other kids. He is an animal. He is walking all over the place getting into everything!! He gets into the cupboards and pulls anything out he can. He chases the kids and growls at them and joins in the wrestling matches like he can take them all. He is just hilarious! He is a big tank full of smiles. We love you Miles!! Happy Birthday!

corn maze

What a day to go to the corn maze! It was raining the whole time. We had fun anyway though! We were very lost, but had a great time. 

Preschool

Marcus has started preschool.  We get together with some kids from the ward and boy do they have a great time! Here is little Marcus on the 1st day of school. I love that the backpack is down to his knees! What a cutie!

teddy bear parade

So the kids have an awesome school and do some really fun things!! They are right next to the high school and get to have a teddy bear parade every year with the marching band. They all bring a stuffed animal to school and walk around the track. It is a big deal and the whole town practically shows up. It was freezing cold that day with hurricane winds ( at least it felt like it!)  We had a great time anyway.

They wouldn't even stop to get a picture taken :)

Fun with fam

I know this is a hideous picture of me and all my chins, but pretty funny of Miles. We were at Brady's house and the kids wanted to have a fire. We borrowed some of Kate's pj's and Miles is looking good!! These are some of the pictures that we took while we were in Utah. 

Fun around the campfire!

Here are the Woodruff crew. They have so much fun playing together!!! I just love how they have their arms around each other :)

CRAZY kids! The noise level when they are together is enough to drive you nuts!!

What a goof!!

The bouncer at grandma Lu's. They just love it!

And of course they have to play the Disney BINGO every trip home!

We went to Gardiner Village and they had all of their Halloween decorations up. This is my most favorite time of year. We had so much fun looking at all the silly witches!

Here is the crew with my grandma Jenkins. We all love "great grandma"!

We had a great time, and like always, it went by way too fast. We are blessed to have the greatest families who love and support us in everything that we do. Love you all!!

The wedding

The wedding

This is the reason we were able to go home. I seriously only took like 5 pictures with my own camera. I was a little busy dealing with four crazy kids running around the temple grounds. It was just a perfect day and I'm so glad we were able to go! You seriously need to check out this website:  heathermickey.com 

Go to her blog and you can see some pictures of the wedding day and the reception.

She is our cousin and is super talented!! Scroll through some older posts too to see Erin's engagement and bridals. I seriously hate being her sister - she is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!! Congrats Erin and Shawn! We love you both!!

On a side note, Kenley got sick after the temple. She threw up every 15 minutes the whole night. We tried setting up camp in the backyard with a blanket and barf bucket, but that totally didn't work. I guess the guests weren't too thrilled about seeing her blow chunks. We tried to make it inside once and she totally threw up all over the back porch, right in front of the wedding line. Good times. She was such a trooper and even let us dress her back into her cute little dress and have some more pictures taken. She really was a trooper through the whole thing. She told me that she was probably sick because we had to take too many pictures at the temple. I didn't have the heart to tell her that we were also getting our family pictures, Woodruff fam, and Jenkins fam pictures taken in the next two days!! What a cutie!
