So much trouble! 
We have to keep Scott's door to his room closed and this is why. 
Every chance Jay gets he runs in there and starts climbing. He climbs all the way to the top without any help, but won't walk. Remind you of anyone Bre? lol 
Of course Scott eggs him on- cute boys
He's also been a little escape artist in the tub too. And you would think that tiny little leg couldn't get over, but it does. What makes me laugh so hard is that he can't get his leg over unless he lifts his belly over first....so funny!
 It has been snowing, snowing, snowing around here!
If you can't tell from the marshmallow suit, this is little Ari
Other than trying to stay warm, we are just busy with school and getting ready for the fun holidays. 
Hailey has been learning how to read which is awesome! As soon as they get it-they accelerate so fast. She is really proud of herself. 
Also Jay took 2 steps on his own for Kevin on Sunday the 17th of November. I really want him to be walking by Christmas so he can show off to everyone! :)

Jay is sooooo busy! And into everything. He sneaks into bathrooms and will close the door so that we can't hear him digging everything out of every drawer. He loves all the drawers in the kitchen too, but lately digging out isn't good enough- he wants to climb in too!
 Taking off down the hall with my sugar bin lol
(cellphone pic) Love this little man shirt from Aunt Brookey! So cute!
Last weekend Kevin taught Scott how to mow the lawn :)
 On Saturday I woke up just in a gloom mood. I decided that we needed to get outside, so we left the house at 9 am all bundled up to go up to the mountains. I wanted to go hiking one last time before the snow hits.
The boys :)
 Scott acts like such a teenager sometimes! He was just complaining that his hands were cold and whining about why we were making him go hiking...then sure enough like always they were all laughing and giggling and having a great time about 15 minutes into the walk. There's nothing like a hike to bring the family/kids together when they aren't getting along.
 Hailey was the only one up for racing up the hills and then when she got to the top she would do a winners jig dance. So funny. That's our Hailey- always making us laugh
 After throwing some rocks in the river, we all found walking sticks for the hike back. They love that...and it's always fun finding bigger and better ones all the way back.

Happy Halloween!
My kids get more into Halloween than Christmas....probably because they are candy lovers!
 
Scott was a mummy and won a best costume prize at the library party. He was so excited about that!
Hailey was a leopard and did not like it one bit that people were calling her a cheetah and a jaguar. Only true animal lovers know the difference I guess :)
Ari as strawberry shortcake ;)
Jay was the same dinasaur Scott was 7 years ago...that's pretty crazy! 
I dressed up as Snow White. I think this might be the first time ever posting a picture of myself on the internet (not big on that). I was in charge of Hailey's kindergarten class party and originally wanted to dress up for that, but now I'm going to have to do it every year. Way too much fun! 
Kevin promised he would dress up next year lol. Here we all are- ready to go trick or treating! (and our pumpkins the kids wanted in the picture)
It was really fun and the kids got way too much candy. Last night we watched Monsters University (been waiting for it to come out on dvd...LOVE that movie!!) and had popcorn and ate our candy. Scott said, "Hey I remember us doing this last year...I think you just want us to get rid of all our candy in one night" lol Smart boy ;)
Jay was up all night the night before Halloween and was not a happy boy 
Luckily his sister gave him plenty of rides on the fourwheeler which he adores. (7 years and running-Aunt Candice got it for Scott on his 1st birthday!) He now says, "Weee!!" as he gets pushed around.
Now a happy boy- and one more grin to show off his 7th tooth there on the bottom
They do a pumpkin walk here where people make little scenes with pumpkins. Scott and Hailey got to go for school field trips, and Arianna got to go with her Dad on a date this week. She loved all the princess cut outs...I think more than the pumpkins 
 Despicable me....a personal favorite. Look how cute the minions are!
Well that's it! Hope you all had a great Halloween!
