Time to Catch Up!

I guess it's catch up time again! We've been having fun lately with visitors and enjoying the weather finally cooling down. Too much to catch up on, and not enough time. So I'll try to recap through the pics:

Caitlin's was in two parades in one week with her dance 'studio'. She loved it (what 6 year old doesn't love a little makeup and glitter in their hair?). She did great and they all looked so cute.

You've all seen our 'naughty spot' in the hall. I got these PJ's for Emma on clearance at Old Navy...and I didn't realize they served a double purpose. Now she can literally be on the naughty spot all the time. Very fitting for her, since she's always getting into trouble anyways.
Nate's turn for FHE lesson. He taught the girls simple ins-and-outs of tools in the garage. Of course they loved it more than any lesson I've done.

Don't leave your cereal bowl from breakfast close to the edge of the table. Emma will eat it for snack, and leave a trail of mush around the house. Ugh.

My little preschool Pilgrim girl.

My little toddler Pilgrim girl. (I know..the binkie. It is SUPPOSED to be in her crib.)

My little 1st grade Pilgrim girl.

Emma playing the 'dice flipping game' with Grandpa.

Emma just chillin' on Thanksgiving. The weather was soooo nice, I think it should've been illegal.

Abs and Grandma Nielson

This is one of the tables Nate made for a doctor he rotated for. This pediatrician's office is AMAZING how each room is decked out and themed. Princess rooms, bug rooms, traffic rooms, animal rooms, etc. Amazing.

Had to eat Thanksgiving dinner outside. The weather was just too nice to eat inside.

The all-night-game-playin-laughin-it-up-gang.

Lovin' it.

Playin' some bocce with the boys. All kidding aside...Caitlin can beat the socks off of any of us at this game. We started to think there was a magnet in her ball or something.

The boys wiffel golfing. (And taking chunks out of our winter grass might I add :o)

Happy Birthday Mom Diggity Dawwwwgggers!

Caitlin's gluten-free Apple Cider cake for Thanksgiving. It was DELECTABLE..wow. Amazing for GF!

Boppin around Old Town Scottsdale

Ya know the signs that say 'Please hold your child's hand when in the store'? Uh...yeah. Shoulda said 'Please hold your grandma's hand while in the store'. :o) And yes...that is my Mother-In-Law kissing a half dressed Native American.

And then getting the bears all up in her grill? C'mon Mom! Mind your manners!

This guy would NOT stop staring at me!

Yeeee Hawwww!

Christmas time!!
