Jelly Belly Factory

I took the kids to the Jelly Belly Factory on one of their days off  (Thanksgiving break).  They already had their tree decorated so I thought I would attempt to get a picture of the kids.  

I wish I could take the girls from this picture and add it to the boys in the next picture.  

Blair and Blakely

Easton and Dyer

Blakely did not like the hat....

Open Gym,Park, Dancing, and Smoothies

While I went to Parent/Teacher Conferences, Valerie took the kids to open gym so they could hang out with Nicholas and Aubrey.  It sounded like the kids had a lot of fun.  I'll have to bring them back again.

Dyer and Blair

Blakely

Easton and Blair's teachers had a lot of great things to say about both of them.  I'm definitely a proud mommy!

This must have been the day that Blair had testing and Valerie took Dyer and Blakely to the park.

Blakely dancing:

I think it is safe to say that she is a BIG fan of smoothies.

Veterans Day

We love it when Daddy has a day off!  Nathan got Veterans Day off so we decided to make a day of it.  We ate at the new Chick fil a that just opened up in Vacaville.  Then we took the kids to Big Hero 6.  Valerie of course came with us.  

Later that night Nathan finally got around to putting his exercise bike together and the kids had a lot of fun with the left over box.

We thought we would train our own Jamaican bobsled team.

Dyer decided to let Blakely in on the fun.

She seems a little upset that someone stopped pulling her around.

Preschool Halloween Party

Dyer's preschool class had a little Halloween party and then went around our neighborhood trick or treating.  Blakely got to join in too!  I was helping in Blair's classroom that day but I left during switch time to snap a few pictures.

Dyer trick or treating

This is one of the many faces Dyer makes when I ask him to smile for the camera.

Cute little lady bug

I helped out in Blair's class on Halloween too.  Blakely came too but she was dressed as a fairy (Blair's request).  Blair decided to wear her Rapunzel wedding dress from last Halloween.  I forgot my camera but Blair got her picture taken at school.  I got one of Blakely too but Blakely got a hold of it and colored all over it.  Oops!  She was cute though. 

I took the kids to the hospital on base to go trick or treating in the afternoon.  Unfortunately this was the only one I took.  I guess that is what happens when you meet up with friends and chat instead of taking pictures.

The kids ran out the door to go trick or treating before I could snap some pictures.  Tricky kids!

Ward Halloween Party

We went with a theme again this year.  Star Wars!

Dyer's Preschool Pumpkin Patch

We went to the annual preschool pumpkin patch field trip.  Dyer of course wanted nothing to do with me as soon as we got there and he found Valerie.  Blakely and I had fun together until we had to leave a little early to pick Blair up from school.

Waiting for the tractor ride.

He found his pumpkin!

King of the mountain!
