The Melting pot

Matt's parents took us out to the Melting Pot. It was so much fun and the food was pretty tasty too. Matt's sister Lindsay and her husband Judd were visiting from Utah. Matt's brother Ethan and girlfriend Heidi joined in on the fun too. Fondue anyone?

We had a great Halloween. There were a lot of parties all week and the kids had fun dressing up. Lily was something different each time because everything was to itchy. We have a lot of candy that I want to throw away, but the kids are loving it. Now we are even closer to Christmas. It will be here before you know it.!

Welcome baby Sawyer

The proud papa

My brother Jono welcomed baby Sawyer into his family a week ago and we finally got to see our baby nephew tonight. He is so cute and so little. His hair is really dark and pretty long. He is a good mix between jono and shelly. We loved seeing the Collins and the kids had a blast playing with their cousin Carter. We ate some delicious stew and brownies. (If you need a great recepie I got it from Shelly. So I can give it to you.) We just wished we lived closer to eachother so we could play more often.

I've got the life- the beach and a sleeping baby

We had a great day at the beach this weekend. The kids loved being in the chilly water and had fun fishing with their dad. Porter is getting so good at boogie boarding. He even scares me and I have to hold my breath hoping he'll get out of the big waves OK. Thats the parnoid mother I am. I enjoyed relaxing and soaking up the last rays I'll get for a while. Lily loved chasing the birds and dancing in the sand. Matt had a great time in the big waves with his boogie board. Jane loved snoozing on her Momma listening to the calming waves. What more could you ask for? We even finished off our day by going to grandma and grandpa's house and swimming in their warm heated pool, eating pizza, and playing with grandma and grandpa. It was a great day!

Thanks for our PJs Kristi
