November

I took a couple kids to the BYU basketball game.  Christopher got on the baby cam holding Emma and his English teacher saw him.

Cute dress Rob's mom made for Makayla a long time ago.

The scooter was the way to go.  It was the kids' favorite toy too, racing all around the house.

Emma and Josie, Rob's cousin's daughter, who is 6ish months younger than Emma.

Cool pic that Michael did at school.

One of Joseph's creations.

Zachary's creation.

Emma's curls are had to capture on camera, but the humidity in the tub makes them so tight.

Zachary is showing off that he is ready to be a triplet dad.

2nd set of handle bars that Matthew broke off.

Zachary and Emma in the tub together.

Watch out for those turkeys in sheep's clothing.

Emma attempting to ride a scooter.

Classic way to use the tracks.

It's nice to have a twin to play uno with you.  Funny story, but in December Rob bought a new uno game because after only 6 months of use, this one was well loved.  He put a note on it and left it on the front porch so all the kids thought we had a secret Santa.  It was pretty funny.  That was the only time he did that, but we did participate in a holiday pixie with our ward, so one family left us gifts and we left another one gifts.  It was fun.

Joseph thought it was funny that his brother and sister were in this book.

The kids did laps around the kitchen and front room with Daddy's scooter.

Zachary loves taking pictures with Emma.

Trying to get pictures of Emma's curls.  It's my favorite thing to slide one of my fingers through a curl.

It's straight in front though.

Too bad the camera can't focus on the tight ringlets.

Selfie!

Michael was in a cupcake after school club.  Here is the only one I ever saw.  He always ate them before he got home.

Matthew wanted the drumstick at Thanksgiving.  We had a quiet Thanksgiving with Rob's parents at our house.

Halloween

Christopher and Michael went trick or treating with their friends, so they missed pictures.

The outtakes are always so cute too.  Makayla trying to keep Emma in place, Zachary showing his bucket and Joseph just wants to get going.

This one is super cute too.  Matthew kept his smile the whole time.  Notice the snow.  It wasn't too cold, but where there was shade, the snow hadn't melted from the storm, and some of the kids walked through the snow in their cloth shoes and had freezing feet, so they were done before others.  Mainly Makayla and Joseph wanted to keep going.  I wore Emma the whole time and she fell asleep, so she didn't actually collect candy and no one could see her costume.  My sister Calais and her husband Spencer came with us, so that was fun to have another adult to talk to.  Usually Rob and I switch off trick or treating with the kids, but Rob had foot surgery (spoiler, he had to have another one a month later) earlier that week, so he was recovering and handing out candy.

Michael's spoils.  When you run from house to house, you get a.l.o.t.  Yes, that was allllll his.  But we always make the kids put it together in a big bowl (or 3 this year). I think we let Michael keep his full sized ones.

Rob found a way to keep his foot relatively warm.  (That is a hat.  haha)

Trying on costumes before Halloween.

Super ninja turtle...you don't see one of those everyday.

Emma is a cute little friendly witch.

Pumpkin patch and coworker's farm

It's hard to get a picture with everyone on a hayride.  Someone even offered to take a picture of all of us, but it's hard enough keeping your seat on the hayride, that I didn't want to mess with that.

Christopher, Emma, and Makayla on the top of the hay pyramid.  By the time the last kids get up there, the first ones jump down.

Zachary and Joseph enjoying the corn

Emma is not so sure about it.

Makayla is trying to help Makayla feel safe despite Christopher's shrieks as Rob tackles him in the background.  Zachary doesn't want to miss any action.

Now 5 of our kids are in the picture.

Still just 5 because Michael is blocking Matthew.

Tackle Daddy!

I don't think you are suppose to do that Christopher...

One of Rob's coworkers has a farm right by the pumpkin patch, so later that week we went to their house.

Rob caught (and released) a fish

Matthew was his buddy.

Makayla fed some goats.

They gave us bread to feed them.  Here is Zachary.

This is a pretty fun swing for Makayla, Emma, Zachary, and Joseph.
