Haas Family photo shoot.

When we where in L.A. we got the kids pictures taken. William had a photo shoot and my mom paid the photographer to take the kids pictures too. Jared and i didn't think we would be getting our pictures taken just the kids, but then she made us get in the pictures.

Sticky popcorn.

OK so my kids love my sticky popcorn and they ask me for it all the time, i have never let Rowan have any because its a big mess. But tonight i let her have some, and those of you who have a one year old know that they have to do every thing on there own. So here it is the pics of Rowan with sticky popcorn all over her face and hands. She loved it by the way.

Its just popcorn with marshmallow's melted all over it.

Christmas Tree.

So ever year the day after thanksgiving we go get our Christmas tree. The kids where so exited, they asked me all day to go and get it, but we had to wait for Jared to get home and i needed to rest from shopping with my mom (we got up at 3:30) .

The kids waiting for daddy to get there. Rowan didn't know what to think.

Rowan looking cute.
Rowan and i at the tree lot.
Gavin was so good at helping with the tree.
Rowan, well she just did this. ;)
Landon liked to put them all in the same place. cute kid.
After the tree was done. And yes Landon is in his underwear, he never wears clothes.
We had a great Thanksgiving, my mom and William came over, we eat good food and hung out all weekend. Rowan loves her Grandma Bardin every time she comes over Rowan screams and gives her big hugs. So the other day my mom was taking William home and she said good bye to every one, my mom walks out the door and Rowan runs in her room and comes out with her purse and says "bye bye momma". So i stop my mom and told her Rowan wanted to go, Rowan put her arms out for my mom to take her. Rowan went with my mom and didn't even cry, i thought she would have a fit once she realized i wasn't there but she didn't. The whole time this was going on Landon was in the house saying " don't take my baby, i will miss her" when i told him she was just going for a ride he said " but mom who will i play with? " they cant keep her, she is my baby". it's so cute how much he loves her.

Say no to drugs.

Gavin got in the car after school and said, "Mommy i have a secret" i said OK what? "a helicopter is coming to my school" then he said, "don't tell anyone its top secret." I thought he was telling one of his story's and didn't think any thing of it. Well, later that night, I got a newsletter from his school saying a helicopter was coming to school for Say No to Drugs Week. So, I told Gavin he was right that a helicopter was coming to his school and he said, "mommy I'm always right." funny boy.

Gavin and Landon waiting, with Gavin's school.


Rowan just wanted out, but at least she gave me a smile.

trick or treat.

The kids got to go trick or treating two times. We had our ward trunk or treat and then we went on Halloween night. The kids are off the wall with all the candy in the house. Rowan is the worst, she will cry until you give her candy. All the kids had a lot of fun. Rowan did really good, she would say thank you to everyone that gave her candy, then she would stop and try to eat it. So it was a long night and the boys weren't to happy about having to stop for her after every house.

Gavin was a clone trooper. He went around as many times as he could.

Landon wouldn't take a pic., this is all i got out if him. He was black spider man.
Rowan was a tulip fairy.

Carving pumpkins.

So we finally are in our own place. It has taken me a little bit to get to my blogging. Here are the kids carving pumpkins and making Halloween cookies.

Apple Hill.

OK this was the first time in two years that we have been able to take the kids to apple hill. When we lived in Utah i missed it like crazy, So it was fun to go back and the kids had so much fun. I'm so happy to be back home.

The boys wouldnt work with me at all, Look at poor Rowan.

Jared and the boys looking at the fish.

Landon wouldn't get up.

Look how long her hair is getting.

Gavin lost his first tooth

So Gavin lost his first tooth the other day and he was way happy. He was a little scared of the tooth fairy, but he got over it when he found out she gave him money.

Gavin first bad OUCH

Well, this happened a few weeks ago but i didn't have a computer to blog with so here it is. The kids and i take a walk ever morning and Gavin will ride his scooter. There is a big hill on the way back home and he went for it, he didn't even slow down. Witch is not like Gavin he is usually very careful. Well he got going to fast and fell, it was the worst thing as a mom to see. This is what happen to him.

Rowan walking

Rowan started walking just the last couple of days here is a little video of her.

Where to start?

OK its been so long i don't even know where to begin. We are still living with the in-laws and so, it hasn't been easy with out my computer and that is why i haven't been blogging. So, summer fun is over but here is what we were up to, the kids and i spent three week in LA with my mom and uncle William. When we were there we did a whole lot but here is just some of the things we did, Six Flags, Universal Studios and the beach several times. Gavin had his 5th birthday at Johns Incredible Pizza and had a great day he started kindergarten. Landon just started perschool and is loving having something he can call his own. Life has been busy and hard but we just take one step at a time and we are getting though it with each other. Here are some pic.
