Up And Running

The go-cart is officially up and running now. The kids could not be more excited. Caroline has asked to go for a ride everyday so far since Brett fixed it.  We have a great little grassy spot right next to our house to go for a spin. I am sure it will be put to good use. Thanks for fixing it dad.  

Gunner's first ride.

Caroline's turn.

Again please.

Sibling Love

The past few days have been pretty cold around here, so we have been keeping ourselves busy indoors. The motorcycle has had quite a run lately. It melts my heart how much these two love eachother and enjoy playing together.

Don't be deceived, Gunner is laughing, not crying in this picture.

Happy Birthday Gunner

Our Gunner man turned 2 on December 2nd.  We decided to go with a fire truck theme this year if you can't tell by the cake. Gunner's birthday was on a Sunday and Brett was on call so we didn't go crazy with our celebrations, but I did try to make a good cake, although this one did not quite turn out as nice as I was hoping, Gunner was thrilled, so excited he could barely eat any dinner, he just wanted that cake. Gunner is such a sweet boy to have in our family. He copies everything Caroline does, literally, good or bad, loud or quite, he is doing it too. He loves his daddy so much. We can hear Brett's truck when he is coming home and you can bet Gunner is right by the door shouting Daddy! Daddy! He loves to play with his sister and he loves waffles for breakfast. He is usually a grump when he wakes up, just give him his waffle and he is all smiles and feeling much better. But do not bother him until then. He loves to be outside and go to the park and swing. Most of the time he is our wonderful boy and we are so happy he is our Gunner man.

The Cake

So excited.

Somehow cake always ends up all over.

Even when its not your birthday.

Daddy was showing Gunner how to go at it.

Gunner and his Grandparents

After many ups and downs Grandpa Foote is finally home from the hospital and we couldn't be more happy about it. Especially Gunner. He has always had a special bond with Grandpa. Visiting him in the hospital was hard with all the tubes and such so it was a treat to be able to climb right up and cuddle together with a good book.    

And he may have squeezed in some Grandma time too. She was playing some beautiful piano music and Gunner decided he needed to join her.   

Halloween

We didn't make it out on actual Halloween this year because some of us were sick but the kids had a great time at the ward trunk or treat. 

Gunner the lion and Caroline as Snow White.

Caroline really enjoyed carving the pumpkin with dad. Once she realized she didn't actually have to eat the insides that is. 

Very excited to put the pumpkin on the porch. 

The finished product. A rocket pumpkin. Turned out pretty good I think.  

Sunday Best

I love getting pictures of everyone looking nice before church. This Sunday happened to be the first really cold one here and the boys were able to break out their sweaters which puts a smile on my face so I had to snap a few of my good lookin' guys.

Then Dad got a few of the girls.

 Caroline was trying to make me laugh.

And she was ready to go to church here.

I love my sweet family.

Baby Its Cold Outstide

  A couple of weeks ago,we spent all our time playing outside, got all bundled up and ate soup and sipped on hot chocolate!! It was only about 50 degrees and only lasted for about two days but we ate it up. I love Fall. And we love being outside.

 Sweet Caroline
