Halloween

So, we didn't do a ton for Halloween. Dustin went duck hunting in the morning, I worked in the afternoon, and then we went to our ward party. Macie wouldn't wear her hat, but their costumes turned out pretty cute. Macie was a lady bug. Noah was a bumble bee Pooh bear thing. Macie got her face painted at the ward party.

We carved pumpkins after our ward party since we didn't take Macie trick-or-treating. It was rainy and cold.

We had a good time being able to be home and be together as a family. Isn't that what it's all about anyway?

Hiking

It's snowing in the mountains today, and Dustin is getting excited for winter. I won't lie, I'm getting a LITTLE excited, too, but I'm still having a hard time letting go of warm weather. I thought I'd post these pictures from a hike we took a few weeks back when the leaves were just starting to turn. It was really pretty.







Bring on the snowshoes, snowmobiles, and snowboards!

Noah 6 Months

Here's a snippet of Noah's six month pictures. What a handsome guy! Thanks again Amanda!

He was finished by the last picture. :)

Rednecks

So we gave in to our redneck sides and took our kids to the demolition derby. It was so super fun actually. Here's Macie and Dustin at the beginning.

I figured Macie would have tons of fun, but thought Noah might get a little nervous with the loud sounds. Turns out Macie was the nervous one.

Not Noah.

I don't know...

So this morning, Macie got out of bed and said, "I go potty." And walked into the closet and closed the door. I said, "Mace, do you want to go in the big girl potty?" She says, "No, in here." Now what? :)

Jack Jack?

This picture doesn't really do justice, but I think I see a resemblance. :)

Family Reunions

We've had a few family reunions we've gone to this summer. We went to Bear Lake with the Forsgren side. Dustin wasn't able to make it because of work, but me and the kiddos went. Here's Macie with her 3 second cousins, Nick, Ty, and Anna.

Macie and Halle.
After that reunion, we headed to Idaho Falls for my family reunion. It was fun. Tawny and Bret couldn't make it, but everyone else was there. Here's the kids doing a pinata.
Macie and Carly waiting in line for the slide to go into the pool. Still looking so much alike.

So I didn't have a swimmer diaper for Macie, so here she is. Poor girl. Her swimming suit was too small, but her diaper too big.

Not sure which was better.

We went to Rigby Lake. Here's Macie and Bailey.

Here's a family picture of everyone who was there. Again, no Tawny and Bret, so eleven people missing.

Kylee had Macie and Addison who were not happy getting pictures taken.

The grandkids who were there.

The numbers are what number of grandkid they were. 39 now. :)

Eight of the ten siblings. Nice shot, I know.

I LOVE Rosetta's face in this one. Don't mind us all blinding ourselves looking into the sun.

It was fun getting together with family, just like always. We really missed those who didn't make it, but we realize it's hard getting all of us in one place at one time. :)

24th of July

The 23rd of July, we went with Dustin's work to a Bee's game in Salt Lake. It was way fun going to a game. We haven't been out for awhile, so it was a good time. All the people Dustin work with are so nice, and I had fun meeting them. Noah was so hungry, he kept trying to eat my pretzel.

We watched fireworks afterwards. They were actually really good. Dustin pointed out that it was fun watching fireworks without having to listen to the music that typically goes along with them. They were just playing rock songs. Fun.

The next morning we went to Bancroft for the parade. Here's Ethan and Noah.

Macie and Kara jumping on the trampoline. I know this is kind of a crappy picture since it was getting dark, but if you can see Macie's face, it's worth the post. :)
