Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'm thankful for so many people, places, and things for which you can see some of them HERE, but for now, I just wanted to show you some of the awesome turkey's that we made today.

this one was Robyn's - she just wanted to put the toothpicks in randomly...


And I guess I'll share a couple photo's of my little Ninja Boys! :) I pulled the costume box out to take out to the garage until next year when I can sell all the small ones on KSL or something, but they found them before they could be taken outside. DarTanion dug the ninja costumes out (from when he was 3 and Archer was 18 months) and insisted that they still fit. I think they are a little small. :) They were bouncing around the house last night acting like Ninjas. It was fun.


And one more picture... Archer was REALLY tired the other day. He fell asleep at the table waiting for his lunch to cool down. :)


Hope you've had a wonderful and
Happy Thanksgiving Day. :)

Pictures of the Kids :)

Remember when I told you HERE and HERE to get pictures from Laura Dugovic? Well, did you? Cuz you should have!!! Cuz I did!!! Wanna see some of them? They're super cute and will be in the Christmas card / letter from us this year! (You know, if I get around to sending them!)

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MY KIDS...
1 - If you know my kids, you know they are freakin' adorable.
2 - If you know my kids, you know that 2 of them are OBSESSED with trains.
3 - If you know my kids, you know that most of the time, the clothes they are wearing are a little too big for them...
4 - If you know my kids, you know that it is impossible to get a picture of all 3 of them smiling politely at a camera and posing *just* right... NOT gonna happen.
5 - If you know me, I make super smart decisions like my kids would look really cute in matching shirts - oh yeah - and WHITE would be a great choice for those matching shirts, right?

Now, Enjoy! :)

For this set, Archer was jumping up and down and he kept tucking his hands into the sleeves of his 'too big' shirt... SO, Robyn, who has to do everything that Archer does, was also jumping. Except she was smart, she used her brothers hands to help get her higher... :)

Laura has a cute prop that she uses. A big picture frame painted a pretty silver color. My kids liked this picture frame (and have since asked why we didn't get to keep it). Archer and Robyn decided that they should just keep looking at each other and laughing. DarTanion kept looking at the bottom corner area for some reason. Still, some really cute shots! :)

Did I mention there was some water next to the building (probably from a rain storm or a wash down of a train or something)? Cuz there was. And my kids were in white. And there were lots of dirt and rocks to throw in the water... These pictures weren't 'planned' pictures, but they turned out pretty cute.
I have to say, I loved the pictures in front of the trains. The lighting and the colors and everything - just great. Except... Robyn was too excited about the trains being RIGHT THERE and she wanted to get on it. Archer was wanting to explore the trains a little more and was a little scared that a train was going to come run over him (because they were sitting on the tracks). And I think that DarTanion was worried about the trains coming and running over him too... So for now, I give you this one.

Robyn refused to take a nap yesterday (picture day), so she was quite the emotional girl. She wanted to go home, so we got a some cute pictures of just the boys. Here's one...

And last, but definitely not least, just some single candid pictures of my kids being themselves...
Aren't they great?! :)

Cute Cousins

My Mom and Dad have had my niece Kaylee (Colleenia & Sean's little girl) staying with them off and on for the last few weeks because Sean has been sick and in the hospital. (Please say a special prayer for him or call his name into the temple: Sean Mikel Kranendonk!!!) Kaylee is only one year older than Robynson and it's SUPER fun to see them running around playing with each other. I remembered to take a couple of pictures last week of them being silly together and thought I would share... (some look a little better than others - sorry, they were taken with a camera phone!)


Doesn't she look like she could be one of my kids? SO CUTE!!! And did you notice how LONG that girl's hair is?! WOW! And naturally curly to boot! :) I love that little munchkin! :)

Also...
Today at my Mom and Dad's house, Kaylee and Robyn were getting some 'one on one' time. They decided that there were monsters in the hallway and would run up and down it shrieking 'Ah! Monsters' and waiving their hands around... LOVE IT!!! I wish my kids were able to get together with her more often!

Ah, Young Love...


Robynson has a little boyfriend. His name is Landon Hartley. He's my friend Angie's little guy who is 6-ish months older than Robyn. We play with Angie a lot and Robyn has always just sort of been Landon's little shadow. When they came over this last weekend, Robyn and Landon were REALLY GOOD friends! :) They started holding hands and of course, we had to get in on it! :) Enjoy the pictures! :)

Angie and I couldn't be happier. :)
We're already planning the wedding. :)

Jeremiah, on the other hand... I think it worried him just a little that we were letting our almost 2 year old daughter make out and hold hands with her boyfriend while we said 'How Cute!' and took pictures. :)

I'm okay with it now, but give me a few years. I'm sure I won't think it's as cute then as I do now.
