The year truly does "swiftly fly" as the song says. I can't even believe it's December!
I was just listening to the kids play in their room together so cute. I love those moments when they are getting along and being creative together. Makes a mom happy. They make messes, but its worth it when they are all happy and getting along!
They are lucky to have a fun dad who plays with them, too.
And we're lucky to live at a place with some fun playground equipment that encourages "playing".
And a hot tub we have enjoyed taking advantage of.
Brig keeps finding the Halloween candy hiding places. :)
My little organizer.
She got to come with me to class one day and she was pretty tickles I hung her picture up. She was a big helper.
Doug and the boys headed to Rexburg for a weekend while I stayed home for a RS activity presentation and a church talk. They were quite excited to go....
I think they had a blast, but I have to say, so did we. :)

It was almost surreal having so much time to myself. Honestly it was quite therapeutic... and that's not to say I don't love my boys or being a mom. It was just nice to have a moment to myself. I went hiking and felt like a new person when I came down from the mountain. :)
I found a quiet place to read scriptures and ponder. It was wonderful!
I also stopped in at a fun restaurant supply store that I would never take kids to. It was quite a lovely day.
And that weekend, the girls and I loaded up the bikes for a really fun bike-ride along the greenbelt. We covered some good distance and biked to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. It was so much fun. I love these cute girls. They are speedy- I struggled to set a pace they were satisfied with. :)
The food was delicious and it was quite an adventure traveling back in the dark- I had my pepper spray in hand and we nearly hit a raccoon. Amberlee was having a hard time seeing in the dark and it was so cute to watch Autumn assume the role of her personal tour guide. We had a blast and quite wore ourselves out.
But not enough to skip the fingernail painting and the slumber party in mom's bed. "We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lot of fun." :) We giggled the night away. Thank heaven for little boys.
