Brigham's Blessing Day

Yesterday Ryan gave our new baby boy a name and a blessing.

Bringing a family together is just one of the amazing things a baby can do!

Halloween

Here we are ready for the Halloween Parade! This year we had two witches, one jack-o-lantern, and Anakin Skywalker.

Our kids had an extra special Halloween. Grandpa Fiaui, Uncle Jan, and cousins Amron, AJ, and Anisee all came to visit for the weekend. These kids had a blast trick-or-treating and passing out candy together.

Aunt Cara and cousin Madilyn (the cute ladybug) came too!

Sarah Ann is 3!

How this happened I really don't know.

Sarah no longer has to push an empty stroller around outside while her brother and sister ride their bikes. She's got her first set of wheels!!!

Sarah's cake of choice... A princess sprinkle cake. It doesn't get any better than this for my 3 year old!

She's Got Wheels...

and knows how to use them!
Audrey has inherited Nicholas' bike and says she loves it because it matches her eyes. (Whew! The princess bike she's been asking for has totally been forgotten!!) When I told Audrey that I wanted to take a picture of her and her new bike she said, "Okay, but I need to change my shirt." So please note the green sweater that matches her green eyes that match her new green bike. Girls!!!?? You gotta love 'em!

How Do You Roll?

This is how they ROLL... to school!!! Nicholas and Preston are big boys with big bikes. With new tires and handle bar grips, Ryan turned Uncle Kyle's old bike into the best bike EVER! Just look at that smile. Nicholas loves his new bike and new found freedom.
(A special thanks to Grandma Patterson, who always has what a boy needs.)

Airplane Day

Airplane Grandma came to visit all last week. While she was here she spent a day with Nicholas and his class teaching them all about airplanes and how to talk like a pilot.


The kids had a lot of fun learning how to call the St. Johns tower and request for take off with their own call signs.
