Phone update

Lots of fun things have been happening around here- we just hosted a successful Davis thanksgiving, and attended Doug's younger brothers wedding.
Emmett is growing fatter by the second - and we adore him. He loves to coo and smile for his sisters and brothers and the boys are learning to be more gentle
with him.
I had an awesome girls weekend with my best girl Lisa- last weekend- Doug took the older 4 to thatcher and we shopped , ate and went to the movies and talked. I love her and how I want to grow and become better after I leave her.
Doug put up rain gutters in the kids room- they have loved playing school an we have been reading lots more in our house- Finally- our Clark decided that he was a big boy and pooped on the potty! For many months he has refused to sit and has had accident after accident. We have tried everything we could think of, with no luck. Through Doug patience and helping him, and with lots of prayer and tears- he finally went!!! Yay It had Been smooth sailing ever since-
I hope you aren't offended by this picture but we couldn't find him one morning an low and behold he was in his bathroom!!
We are excited for the holidays and are loving our new little guy more and more

Mr. Mitt is 2 months old

Here are a few quick snaps of our precious boy. He loved to coo and smile and get up 2 times during the night. He weighs 14lbs 10 oz...quite the big guy. He loves being layed down to bed to nap and is tolerant of all the love he recieves from his siblings. We sure adore him and are soaking up this little guy!

Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween! We went to our ward neighborhood and walked around with our buddies! It was fun!
I asked the girls what they wanted to be and was going to make homemade outfits this year. And then I thought about it and decided who I am kidding?? I have a brand new baby! We went to Walmart.com and had them shipped to our house! Sweet! Perfect for me.  We also had a quick pumpkin carving the night before...so gross if you ask me...maybe next year I can convince them to paint them!

Grant LOVED picking out his Iron Man costume from Costco...he couldn't wait to wear it!

The boys were really into their Super Hero costumes and love watching a series on TV called "Super Hero Squad. It was cute to watch them really get and enjoy Halloween this year.

Awesome Captain America Clark

It's so funny that last year they were so into Toy Story, Cars and things like that. This year it's Super Hero's fighting, guns, bigger boy stuff.

 Here's out cute trick or treat group!

Sweet Little Olivia the Witch

 Audree the adorable Cat

And our adorable skeleton Emmett....he snoozed most of the night...sweet guy

Trip to Prescott- Fall Break Fun!

For Fall Break our family took a quick 2 day trip up to Prescott Az to go to a real Pumkin Picking Patch- and enjoy exploring Az. We even stayed in a hotel! Kids love it...me not so much. I only got about 3 hours of sleep, in between feedings....oh well. We sure had fun. Doug and I are both native Arizonin's and have never been to Prescott..we were both surprised at how big it was! We also went to the movies out to dinner and to a local lake. Everywhere we went, all the kind elderly folk commented on how well behaved our kids were....funny. If they only knew:)

Fun times at the Little Prescott Zoo...here's what happens when Daddy takes the picture.

 This Bengal Tiger was AWESOME! We were just a few feet away and she would respond when you would say her name. What an incredible animal.

Here are a few Phone Pics...Little buddy is so sweet getting so big and smiling!! Melts my heart. I cried the first time he smiled at me. So sweet.
The other day he was fussing and Grant said, "Mom, he's breaking my heart.." So adorable. They still want to obsess over him and be close to him all day long, but I am trying to be patient about their love for brother.
The other pics are from the boys field trip to Schnepf Farms- so glad Doug was there to help. Couldn't have done it without him!
