Reagan had her Christmas Band and Choir concert last night. Here is a sample of some of the songs. A couple of the songs are too long and I can't get them to download, I may try again later. If you don't recognize her she is on the back row with the long blonde hair in the choir videos and in the band video she is in the middle front row.
Carter on our tractor ride.
After we had our Thanksgiving dinner, Lomand fired up the tractor and hooked up the trailer and took us all for a ride through the orchard. It was so much fun. We saw parts of the orchard that I had never seen. I was a chicken when I was little and would never go out very far. The one time we did, we were chased by wild dogs, but that is a story for another time.
Tractor vs. cow
Getting everyone loaded up for the ride.
Relaxing after dinner. Cara, Walker, Carter, and Lomand. I thought this was funny because Carter is trying to sit on the couch and have his feet on the table like the big people. It wasn't working out so well for him.
Reagan and Jaron taking Carter, Walker, and Emmy for a wagon ride after dinner. Grandma's house is so much fun. We love her huge driveway. You can ride bikes, scooters, and wagons without worrying about traffic.
Boys having fun on the farm. They had a blast playing with the old farm equipment.
Reagan eating Thanksgiving dinner.
Emmy, Carter, Jaron, and Walker eating their dinner. I'm not sure how much eating actually went on at this table. They just wanted to play. Notice that all Walker is eating is a roll. He may have had a little Jell-o on his plate too. I wonder when this boy is ever going to start eating.
Carter had his first experience with the dentist this past week. We could see that he had cavities, but had been putting it off while trying to find the right dentist to take him to. Finally he was old enough to take him to our family dentist (he won't take them until they are 3). Carter was so good I couldn't believe it. He sat still the whole time they worked on him and didn't move. I think the dentist was surprised too. We had to go twice to get all of the work done. The second day he was so excited. The best part for him was being able to pick something out of the treasure box at the end of each appointment. This was the prize he chose after his last trip. 
I just remembered a funny story about Walker, I have never written it down and figured I better before I forget. A couple of years ago at church Steve went to pick Walker up from his primary class. When Walker came out of his class he had a picture of Noah on the ark that he had colored during class. Steve started to ask Walker about his lesson and the picture. 
I am one of four Activity Day leaders in our ward (yes, we have a lot of girls). We had a pretty great activity this week. Our theme was modesty. We talked to the girls about modesty and how it has changed over the years. The girls brought a picture of their mom and grandma if they could find them to show what they wore when they were the same age. After that we had our resident photographer, Jessica, take some pictures of them. Kind of like "Glamour Shots", but we called them "Modesty Shots". Here is the picture of Reagan. Turned out pretty great. The girls all such a great time, they all have a little inner diva.
I think this is my favorite family one.
I really love these feet pictures that she took. Something I would have never thought of. I guess that is why you are so good Jessica.
I love how short Carter is compared to the rest of us.
Another foot picture. LOVE IT!
Reagan loved being a model. Anytime you want to take pictures of someone Jessica, call her. Although you can tell she is starting to turn into a teen. When she looks at the pictures she picks at all of the things that she doesn't like about herself. I remember when she use to think that she was the smartest, most beautiful girl in the world.
I love this picture of Walker. He is going to be a heart breaker someday.
Carter, the cutest 3 year old in the world. Man I am in love with those blue eyes. In some of the other pictures his eyes just shine. Boy, I love my kids. They are so good looking, don't you think. 
Reagan and Walker going through their loot after we got done Trick-or-Treating. They got quite the haul this year. 
Carter got invited to go to a Tot Halloween party with some friends from church. It was pretty fun. Here he is decorating his haunted house with candy.
Halloween Twister.
Carter the dump truck driver. This costume was a big hit, everyone loved it. It is a hand-me-down from Walker. Walker loved it so much he was this for 3 years in a row. While Reagan was taking it out of the car she ripped one of the suspenders off, that is why you see the nice duct tape job that Steve had to do.
Paging Dr. Horrocks. Walker couldn't make up his mind of what he wanted he wanted to be. He decided at the last minute to be a doctor. The fun part is that Steve just got of work when we went to the party so he was dressed in scrubs too. And then I decided to get in the fun and put on a old pair of my scrubs. I know, we are so original.
Here is Minnie Mouse. I finished her costume that afternoon. Yes, I am a procrastinator. She did look pretty good though. She loved the costume, so I guess that makes it worth all the work.
I have spent weeks trying to talk Reagan into being something simple and more original for Halloween, but it didn't work. She had her mind set that she wanted to be Minnie Mouse, so off to the fabric store we went. We finally found the red and white polka dot fabric after searching the store, and now this is how I will be spending the rest of the week, sewing. I thought I had 2 weeks until Halloween, but then I remembered that our ward Halloween party is this Saturday, boy am I in trouble. Wish me luck, and hopefully it will turn out. 
Reagan helping Carter across the lawn with his scooter. Walker had just crashed on his bike in the gravel driveway between the houses and I was helping him hobble to the house to clean him up.
I didn't realize until I put these picture on the computer that my shadow was in a lot of the pictures. I guess I need to work on my photography skills. I hope figure out how to Photo Shop it out, if that is even possible.
Walker has so much fun now that he can ride a bike. It seems like that is all he ever wants to do. It is great to go to Grandma's to ride, she has a huge driveway and he can ride circles around it forever. We also don't have to worry about traffic. Uncle Lomand showed Walker a bunch of bikes they have out by the barn, one of them was in good working condition so we don't have to drag his bike over anymore. It is a girls bike, but there isn't anyone there to watch him, so he doesn't seem to mind. Lomand told him that one of the bikes it a stunt bike, so now Walker is trying to talk Steve into fixing it up for him.
"Gek-a -Boo" 
Riding his scooter.
How is it that boys can find dirt or puddles of water no matter where they are? I guess at the farm it is everywhere, even in the driveway.
Sitting on the post that is at the entrance to Grandma's driveway. He thought it was fun the he was taller than me.
Carter's new look. Yes that is underwear hanging out of his shorts. Now that there isn't a diaper there to hold up his pants, his underwear is always hanging out. Oh well. At least we don't have to buy diapers anymore, YEAH!!!!
Here is Reagan the morning of her birthday eating her breakfast, cake and scrambled eggs, YUM!
We gave her a couple of shirts so she could have something new to wear to school.
These are the decorations for the party. Yes, I know it isn't much, but I had a hard time coming up with things that matched our theme "Little House on the Prairie".
This is a handkerchief doll. Thanks to my Aunt Janice who gave me all of the handkerchiefs and gave me the instructions, and my grandma for giving us the lace and ribbon. The girls made these for one of the activities.
Steve made some homemade bread and made some mini loaves for the girls to take home with them.
This is the girls making butter (shaking whipping cream in jars, until it turns into butter) while watching "Little House on the Prairie". When the show was over they ate some of the butter they made on some of the bread that Steve made. They all said it was really good. We let them take some of the butter home to eat with their mini loaves of bread.
Here is the girls making their handkerchief dolls.
The girls with their dolls.
Opening presents.
This is Reagan's birthday cake, blackberry cobbler. We decided that cobbler in a dutch oven sounded closer to our theme than cake. It was really good, at least I thought so.
We had a little time leftover so the girls played "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader", Walker and Carter gave it to Reagan. I hope they all had a good time, Reagan had a BLAST!
