Christmas Parade!

Last night we went to the Parade. What a fun time we had. Parker loved seeing Santa and Tandi loved the pretty lights. I watched her and Parker watch the parade. We had hot chocolate and the kids each got a Christmas cookie. You can tell Tandi's was green by looking at her face.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a nice day it was! We went and had our Thanksgiving feast at my Grandma Merrill's and then that night we had dessert at Heath's sisters house. I love this time of year. I am so grateful for all my blessings. I'm thankful for Heath and my two sweet children. There is nothing I would want more than my family.

Disney on Ice

On Wednesday we went to Utah. My mom had got tickets for Disney on Ice. All the older grand kids and moms got to go. It was such a cute show!!! It was also fun to watch the kids get excited when their favorite Disney characters came out
Thanks Grandma!

Happy Halloween!

I love this Holiday! Parker was a race care driver and Tandi was a Care Bear. I think they were pretty cute. We spent some of the day going and visiting family and then we ended up at our house for a little party. We had some food then took the kids Trick or Treating. Then came back and watched the Hulk movie. What a good way to end the Halloween night.
Tandi was asleep in the truck during this picture.
All the Trick or Treaters from left to right. Lilly (butterfly), Boden (power ranger), Marley( Hannah Montana), Parker (race car driver), Tandi (Care Bear), Piper (Cinderella), and Mckenna (witch).
I loved that heart on her cute little behind.
Heath had to dress up for work and of course he didn't want to be the pregnant lady again, so he ended up being a used car salesman. ( I think he looks pretty hot in those pants!)

The girls rod in the wagon while we Trick or Treated. They were in a daze most of the time as you can tell.
I love my little care bear!

Carving Pumpkins

On Monday for family home evening we carved Pumpkins. We had our friends the Salisbury's over to help. It's a good thing they came because we were not preparedwith the right tools for carving.The kids weren't really into carving. It was more fun for the adults.

Aplington Grandkids

Yesterday we celebrated all the October birthdays for the Aplington family. There was Angie, Parker, Ashley, and Sydney. It was fun to see everyone. I took this picture of some of the grand kids. We were missing two of them; Easton and Seth. So there are 10 grand kids total.Sydney, Tandi, Maggie, Ashley, Libby, Allie, Adam, and ParkerHere is Maggie and Tandi.

A fun Halloween Party!

On Saturday we went to a Halloween party. It was a Murder Mystery Dinner. It was so much fun. Everyone dressed up and here is our costumes. I'm a Doctor and Heath is a lady in labor. As soon as he put that wig on I couldn't stop laughing. He got sick of wearing it after awhile and took it off. What a good sport. The only thing missing was some boobs. I know he wouldn't wear a bra, so I didn't even ask.

Happy 4th Birthday Parker!

We had a Halloween Birthday Party yesterday for Parker. The kids all came in their costumes and had a great time.I made these spider cup cakes. The kids hitting the spider pinata.This picture cracks me up because Parker looks like he is missing a tooth, but it's really chocolate frosting.All the kids at the party. The boys are outnumbered. Thank you for those who came and for making Parker's birthday special.

Happy Birthday Nate and Parker!

On Sunday we celebrated Nate and Parker's Birthday. Nate's birthday is on the 19th and Parker's is on the 20th. It's fun that they get to celebrate every year together. This year was extra special because Nate turned the big 30!

Snowman in October

Yesterday after church, Parker kept begging to go outside. Well after 15 minutes of playing outside with Daddy this is what happened. A snow man in October. Although he is quite cute, I hope he melts real fast.

Parker's Horse Ride

Last Friday Parker had another field trip. He got to ride a horse named Sue. Parker went right up to her and was ready to ride. I thought he would be little nervous at first, but he wasn't. Tandi on the other hand didn't want to be near her.

just some pics

I can't get over how fast these two are growing. They love to hug each other in the morning when they wake up and in the evening before bed. I just love it! I also know that someday when their teens and they can't stand each other, I will have to show them this picture to remind them of how much they really do love each other.Tandi showing her sweetness. My baby girl and me!

I love this picture because she has her arm around the back of me and she was squeezing me! She is so huggy and I'm sure part of it is because Heath and I made her that way. I'm always asking her come hug me and to give me a kiss.
