Christmas Happenings

Jack and I's try on a gingerbread house. It does taste pretty yummy and is almost all eaten by now. Jack hasn't had any and wonders who keeps eating it. We just say Santa's elves must be sneaking in to taste it :)

My pictures are all out of order but I'll try to explain. On the 14th we went to Lake Farmpark for their Christmas lights show. We went on a sleigh ride through the park of lights. Jack and Max LOVED it! Then we got to make a toy with Santa's elves... Jack picked a pirate ship of course! He helped build it and then painted it. I'm not sure its even dry yet because he used probably a gallon of paint!! Then we got to see Santa and the boys sat on his lap. Jack loves Santa and gave him a big long list of things he wanted. Max was looking worried but did okay with me smiling at him the whole time.

Here's his pirate ship!

Building his pirate ship with the elf, boy did he LOVE using the hammer and drill!

Sorry the pictures are blurry (camera sucks!) Here Jack is waiting in line to make his toy.

So much going on Max was loving it and checking out all he could.

An UGLY Christmas sweater party! I don't have a picture of the whole group but it was pretty funny! Hollie and Adam had this fun party and I'm thinking this needs to be a tradition (even though we only have one more Christmas left together with our fun Ohio friends). Oh man were there some UGLY sweaters... LOVE IT! Here's Adam and Hollie.

Justin and Stacey's whole family dressed for the party!!

Matt and Taylor Hall. My vote for ugliest sweater was either Adam or Matt. So funny!

Here's ours. My mom and dad's old sweaters. Well dad might still wear his :) Thanks for sending them out mom! What a great party with fun friends!!

Last Chance

I'm planning on making our blog private next weekend so anyone wanting to view our blog you'd better get me your e-mail address so I can get ya in! The comments go to my e-mail so I wont share your e-mail address with anyone else.

Also I'm starting an Etsy shop so make sure to check that out. I'm just getting started and don't have a computer very often, so hopefully this weekend I'll have the pictures taken and it up and running soon.

The latest

On Sunday the 25th of October Pete left for a missionary meeting and took Jack with him so I could take a nap with Max. On his way home he called and said that they had stopped by a little old lady's house to help her rack her leaves and decided to invite her to dinner. He called to make sure that was okay. I was a little upset because I wasn't really doing dinner that night and just didn't want to. He said they were on their way so I decided I'd better clean up and figure something out for dinner (and felt really bad after being rude about having someone over). I heard them come home, I was in the kitchen and then the door opened and I turned to say hi and saw my mom standing there!!! Talk about a shocker!! I was so excited and happy to see her and cant tell her enough how much I loved to have her here! She came for ten fun days that weren't expected and we had so much fun! Come surprise me anytime mom!! Well I'll take just about anyone, even little old ladies Pete decides to pick up. :) So While she was here we got some pictures taken and I loved so many of them, so thanks so much mom, I really wanted some family pictures!

I couldn't really see and didn't end up picking the best pictures... sorry mom your eyes are closed in one below and Jacks in this one.

We took her to Sulfur Springs and let Jack play in the water for a few minutes.

On the way to sulfur springs there is a Jackson field and a Jackson road so we decided we needed a picture for Jack

Max chilling in the swing waiting for pictures.

Love this one of Max's tongue!

Gotta love Max's floppy ears! I just want to suck them off! Such a handsome boy!

My Boys.

So I guess I haven't blogged about Jack starting school yet, but he did in September. He LOVES it and I really do too! He got to dress up for community helper day, and went as a fireman (along with most all kids in his class). Mrs. Futchi on the left and Mrs. Blados on right. Doesn't Jack make the cutest fireman ever?!

Finn is in Jacks class. The teachers say they act just like brothers... fight like brothers and yet choose to play with each other all day at school.

Max was seriously the cutest pumpkin ever!! Oh I can just squeeze this babe!

Jack was " Jacks Farrow" for Halloween, that's what he called himself, which cracked me up every time he said it. I didn't bother correcting him cause I loved to hear it that way.

Jacks preschool has lots of Jewish kids so they don't celebrate Halloween, but they had been learning about community helpers so they could dress up as one of those instead.

Random from 2 months!

Okay so I've been awful at blogging for quite some time. I blame it mostly on not having a computer very often to get it done and also just being lazy when I do have time. So sorry but I'll get to it. We are also going private and so for those of you out there who want to still view my (hardly never updated) blog leave my your e-mail address and I'll get around to getting my blog private. The comments are sent to my e-mail so I won't show anyone your info.

Well it seems like we have just been really busy with everyday normal stuff. Jack stared pre-school and loves it, Max is growing and man oh man do I ever adore him! I will just put some of my favorites up and try not to make this a "you've missed two months" blog entry. However good luck to me with that! Rob came to visit but was way to short of a visit! He bought a 4 runner out here, so we picked it up and they he flew out here to pick it up and drive home. I'd hoped sometime out here that Pete would get to go to an Ohio State football game. I didn't really want to go because I don't care so much and the tickets were pretty expensive so I asked my RICH brother if he would want to go with him. We surprised Pete the night before with the tickets and a sweatshirt and hat. He was so excited and had a great time. Ohio even won Wisconsin ( however I can't remember the final score now) Go Buckeyes!! We visited the Amish community out here and had fun taking all the pictures of the Amish. What wired tourist we are!! Saw some beautiful trees changing color, which now are all almost done changing and falling off! I love the fall out here, it is beautiful!! So we had some fun couple of days and off he took back to Utah with his nice car, he didn't want to trade and just take our ( wonder why?) Oh and friend made the cute bear beanie for Max, isn't it so cute?!! Love my crazy boys. Excuse Jacks goofy faces in these pictures, he must take after his uncle Rob!! :)
