Utah Here We Come

On Wednesday we are heading to Utah and will be there until the 30th of December. We are so excited! We can't wait to have Christmas with family. See you soon!

Rachel Sleeps Funny

We had put Rachel in her bed and she didn't want to go to sleep and was crying. She finally settled down and we went in and she was sleeping like this.

How uncomfortable does that look? What a silly girl!

First Bath Together

This is the kids' first bath together. They had a lot of fun.

Grams and Grandpa Visit

Grams and Grandpa came to visit over Halloween. I apparently didn't get many pictures of the kids in Halloween costumes. They must be all videos. I'll have to dress them up again and take pictures :)

Grandma Millward sent Benjamin and Rachel this singing and dancing pumpkin and he would push the button and we had to dance over and over again. It was really cute.

The Saturday before Halloween a couple wards got together and we had a Trunk-or-Treat. We only went around to a few because it was cold and really windy. Benjamin would make us go with him right up to the car and then he would whisper "Trick or Treat" and then we would tell him to say thank you and he would whisper that too. It was funny. On Halloween we went trick-or-treating to a couple of houses in our neighborhood and some ward members. He had a great time and he did better at saying trick or treat aloud.

One night we made spider smores. They were really good. We took the middle part out of some rolls then put melted marshmallows and graham crackers inside. Then frosted them with chocolate frosting and decorated them.



While Grams and Grandpa were here we also started to make a bunk bed for Benjamin so we can put Rachel's crib underneath. We aren't done yet. We'll post pictures of the finished product later. We stayed up really late a couple of nights working on it.

We had a lot of fun while Grams and Grandpa were here. We miss being by family. We love you all!

Random Pictures of the Kiddos

Rachel's New Coat

This is Rachel in her new coat. She looks so cute in it. It's a little big still, but it keeps her warm.

Just Resting

So Rachel liked to just all of a sudden lay down on the ground, just because. It was really cute. She doesn't do it anymore. But here's some pictures of it.

Completely Potty Trained

It's been a while since I have posted. I just downloaded all our pictures so there's gonna be several posts. Benjamin is now completely potty trained. After a couple of days of wearing underwear and having accidents he finally figured out when he needed to go and held it until he got to the potty. After he figured that out we completely stopped using diapers including night time. He had a couple of accidents at night and he woke up screaming. He didn't have any more accidents after that. He was able to get his Thomas tent because he went in the potty 20 times.

He's taking after his daddy and reading Calvin and Hobbes while on the potty :D

Sorry the pictures are sideways I forgot to flip them. Oh well.
