Subdivision Easter Egg Hunt

Had a great time today hunting for eggs. It was windy and chilly out, but the kids had a blast running around. Jackson and Maddie were pretty cold and as soon as they got their eggs, they wanted to go home.

Too long

It has been a long time since I have posted, so I will catch up a bit. We had a great Halloween.  The kids went to the annual Harvest Party at the Star Barn. Then a few days later they went Trick or treating and had a blast. Maddie and Jackson loved going house to house asking for candy.



A couple days before Halloween, we went with Grandma and Grandpa to Walter's Ferry, a place where you take a mile walk and all along the way there are cool statues, signs and birdhouse. The twins had a blast running around in the fall air.

Happy 4th of July

We started out by attending the God and Country fireworks show in Nampa on the Wednesday before the 4th. We always enjoy hanging out with friends in the evening and waiting for the show to start. unfortunately this year, Nick lost his glasses that ended up costing us $230 for a new pair:( Still had fun that evening with the Belnaps and my parents. This was also the first time we took the twins to watch the fireworks and they loved it!

On the 4th we went to the Melba parade with my parents. Trent had to work in the morning, so we headed out without him. Luckily my mom likes parades also so we went with them then went to teh small carnival afterwards. We met Matt and Brandy there so the kids could hang out with their cousins also.

That evening we went to the Star firework show and it was one of the best we've seen. Great day all around!

Egg hunts, treats and the Easter Bunny

We had a wonderful Easter this year. On Saturday morning, the kids had a great time hunting for Easter eggs in our subdivision park. The eggs were hidden so the kids had to hunt for them.

The next day was Easter Sunday and we went to my parents church to celebrate easter with them. Afterwards Matt's family joined us for another egg hunt and a nice turkey dinner. This is the best picture we could get of the kids after church. they were not the most cooperative.

Bailey sure loves her Grandpa Davis

Christmas Eve

We had quite the party for Christmas Eve. My brother Casey came from California for Christmas this year. My parents, Matt's family, Aaron (Brandy's dad) and our friends the Belnaps all came for some Holiday fun.

We had our traditional enchiladas for dinner, followed by Dad and Casey playing Christmas carols on the guitar while we sang along. We then played a white elephant type game and the kids acted out the nativity. Santa then showed up with presents for all.


Such a fun evening surrounded by family and friends.....

Polar Express Christmas Party

This year our church had a Polar Express Christmas Party. We had a breakfast and a fun program. The kids dressed in their pajamas, got a ticket from the Engineer for the ride, and when they saw Santa he handed them each a small bell. It turned out great and the kids had a great time.

So much to be grateful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving 2016!

Happy Trick or Treating

Happy Halloween. This is the babies first year trick or treating so my parents came to lend some helping hands. They only went to a few of the neighbors houses, then headed home to bed. q Bailey and Nick had a few neighborhood kids that  they wanted to go with, so we all split up.

Our neighborhood is awesome for Trick or treating because there are so many retired people that love when kids come by. There aren't too many kids in the neighborhood, so the treats are pretty good.

The babies had an absolute blast running from door to door, while people put candy in their pumpkins.
