Flagstaff

We left for Flag the day after Thanksgiving, and had a blast as usual.
Our condo didn't have a jacuzzi, but the kids sure loved the jacuzzi tub!
B trying to figure out this huge amount of bubbles

 
Goofy Golf is always on the daily do-to list.
 


We love going to the nearby lake and seeing the ducks. Payton had to have this picture taken of them flying in a V.
Super cool, we also watched an eagle in a nearby tree for a while.
 
We had fun! Up until the last little bit. The girls left a couple hours earlier than the boys, and they had an eventful last few moments. They were playing golf, ping pong, etc at the activity center. CJ was walking backwards to get a ball, and next thing Casey knew, CJ fell into the the kiddie pool. Freezing!! So they went back to the condo to put his clothes in the dryer. Then Payton fell down the stairs. Seriously?? Crazy boys...
 
 
 On the drive home with my mom, I finally videoed Brooklyn's most said phrase,
 "I wanna see, I wanna see, I wann see."
 

Thanksgiving

I'm bummed I only got a couple pictures, but our friends the Goodell's came down from CO again to enjoy Thanksgiving in the nice AZ weather. I'm excited they've made it a tradition! :) We met up at the train park and had a blast! (minus Payton who was still at school. Shhhhh)
Then a couple days later they came and hung out at house for a bit. We loved seeing them again!

 
 We enjoyed CJ's preschool program. It was so fun to have me, Casey, Brooklyn, my parents, and Grandma Lindy come. We were quite the fan club :)
"Thank You Pilgrims" song
"Gobble, Gobble"
 

We also went to Warren and Co's annual Thanksgiving kid parade.




Payton took these 2 pics (along with tons others) and I was cracking up when I saw them.
 
On Thanksgiving Day we went to my parent's with the Beazer's, stayed for an hour and a half, and took some family pics.






 
After that we went to Emily's for the feast part. Apparently I didn't get any pics except Brooklyn pushing this cute shopping cart :) But we did have a lovely meal, great company, and met up with Cherryl's big crowd across the street, plus other Blake's who came for the Turkey Bowl at the park across the street. Such a fun day.

Farm Field Trip

CJ got to go on a farm field trip for preschool. It was to the DeWitt's, where the Pumpkin Patch was. I think I've known the DeWitt's for practically my whole life. I remember going on a trip to Oklahoma with them and my parents, to buy some mules when I was like 10 years old. Good times :)

They had such cute animals in their petting zoo.


These baby goats were just a week old and were absolutely adorable. I wanted to take them home!!



He even got to milk a goat, and drink the milk. He didn't love it. Lucky for him, his teacher is awesome and had a piece of gum for every kid after they tried the milk, to wash away the after taste, ha ha. So thoughtful! :)

November

CJ's my little acrobat. I telll him he should work for Circque du Soleil one day. He's always trying to do crazy stunts. Here's one at dinner time, since he'd rather do anything but eat dinner. 
Here's Payton's penguin move, ha ha. He's much less of a dare devil.
B lovin this big dog
The kids sitting in the driveway, waiting for daddy to get home. (I think they finally gave up after waiting like 45min...)
Had a groupon to the Phx museum, and we had a blast.
(Plus, this cute girl gave Brooklyn a ride since Payt and CJ wouldn't)

B's first piggytails! Momentous occasion!

Love this cute skirt I got for Brooklyn!
Veteran's day parade, and Brook learned how to put her hand over her heart
The boys sitting up front, enjoying it, plus any candy they could aquire.
Their favorite "float"
 
Look at that cute little piece of wood :) I think I'll take her home.
 
Our first fire in our new home, thanks to Grandpa Freeman. Plus, he was so cute and gave an FHE lesson for the kids about house fires, smoke detectors, got a blanket to demonstrate crawling under the smoke, etc.
 
We had fun at the library. B loved these cute little chairs.
When I asked her where CJ went, she made this adorable face with her hands in an "i don't know" position, ha ha :)
CJ got excited to see Santa's sleigh at Home Depot

Tum-a-lum on Grandpa Beazer's lap :)
She kept turning around, getting dizzy, and falling down. Silly girl.
We were at Emily's, and it cracked me up that Brooklyn climbed backwards on the quad, and drove around that way, laughing.
