Sad day :(..

Our little fish of many, many, years. Just passed away. Due to suffocation. I just got done cleaning his tank. So that we could put his new big house in it, that he got from Santa. And I put him in a plastic bag so that the water could match up temperatures, like always. But this time, I wasn't watching it, and the water fell out and the plastic suffocated him. What a sad day. Karlie and I flushed him down the toilet. Karlie is a little sad, but due to new Christmas toys she doesn't think about it much.

My little sheep

Karlie had the privilege to be the sheep in our ward (church's) Nativity.
She didn't like it though, the whole week before she cried because she wanted to be a princess not a sheep. And on the day of the Nativity, she was sad once again, because she wanted to be Mary, not some dumb sheep. So during the program she kept trying to get on the stage to be Mary.






Karlie and her Friend both were upset at being a sheep. Her friend wouldn't even go up and sit with the other sheep.

Nathan just sitting and loving the Nativity.

Our first snow fall...

It was so good to finally get out of the outside and out of the house.

Karlie is teaching Nathan how to make his first snow angel.

Here he is trying to do one.

We haven't bought a sled yet, so we had to use a laundry basket. It worked out surprisingly well.

Santa

We went to go see the lights on a little farm and surprise...surprise....
Santa was there. Karlie went right up and told him that she dreams of a princess kitchen. Nathan was so scared, wouldn't even get next to him.

Still a hunk at 32!

Happy Birthday J.R.

Karlie and Nathan made him a big pie, since he hates cake.

Not the hair.......

My Nathan hates hair cuts. Today I finally found out why. Now that he is finally able to communicate pretty good. Anyway I've been dreading cutting he's hair cut all month. It grows so fast and is so thick that I finally had to do it. He screamed "STOP IT!" through the whole process and cried and throw a massive tantrum, but when we were done. He went over and pick up his hair and tried to put it back on. He cried and cried, he wanted me to put it back on. So I discovered that he thinks I'm taking part of his body away. Which explains nail trimming, he cries through that too. Also I put him on the potty and he went poo, but after he cried and wanted it back too. But I didn't put it all together! I'm so happy that I know him better, the only sad thing is that I read that kids like this don't potty train well. Oh well, at least for now I know how to help him better.

Trick or Treat

We had so much fun this year trick or treating. K was so cute, she so loved it. She was so funny at the end of every door after they gave her a treat, she would say, "I have to go knock on more doors for more candy." Then she would just leave, no bye or thank you. We tried all night to get her to say thank you.
N had fun too, but most of the time he was scared of the decorations.




K wanted to be Galinda from the musical Wicked. She loves the cd.
Plus it was easy for me, I just used the same costume as last year.


N a great cowboy.



In the Afternoon we went over to the outlets were they had a huge Halloween parade. All the little kids walked around. Then they got to go trick or treating at the stores.
