Thanksgiving Week

Our dear relative George passed away and the Ebmeyer family met together for the funeral. Here we are at the park after the services.

Reagan, Corrin, and EZ

Corrin and Reagan showing off their ring pops that Uncle Lap always "hooks them up" with

That night we arrived in Palm Springs to meet up with our good friends, The Clarks, for some swimming and fun at the Westin Resort.Sydney and Reagan showing off their "twirls" into the pool.

Sydney , Reagan , & Westin.......I think they could get use to this kind of life!

Adam and Reagan giving Brock a "high 5" as he goes down the water slide

Good swim session Reagan and Mom!

Going "oh so high" on the tram

Waiting to go back down from the tram ride. It was crazy cold there. Who knew Palm Springs could get that cold!?

On our way to the other water slide across the resort where the kids would be tall enough to go down their selves

EZ getting his swim on

My sweet little buster, oh so tired. He just took his nap right next to us at the pool.

Syd and Westie.....hang on!

From Palm Springs we went straight to AZ for Turkey Day! Sweet little (getting so big) Paije just adored EZ and couldn't get enough of him. Who could blame her?

Uncle KK with EZ and Ragu. Brock was so excited for EZ to wear his Lakers PJs for all those AZ Suns fans. GO LAKERS!

Taking Paije to school

We love all of Uncle CK's toys.

Thanksgiving Day with all the kids

Roger's family minus Josh (had to stay in Utah for work).

The three Rogers grand kids.....the end of a fun week!

Zoe, Reagan, Luke, and the newest member of play group, Jordan
I went to my room to check on Easton and this is how I found him. I thought it was so funny.

Reagan is making cookies for me at preschool
Easton found himself some fun at preschool too.

We have this rule for Reagan that she can't wake us up until 7 am. Now that EZ wakes her up early she finds things in her room to keep her busy. Brock took this picture bc he thinks it's funny how most mornings Reagan comes into our room and wakes us up fully dressed in a dress of course, jewlery, fancy shoes, a purse, and don't forget a head band. This time Brock went into her room and took a picture of her getting ready and the clock shows that she's already to go nice and early.

Reagan put her headband on Easton and came and got me to look. Reagan can't understand why EZ is so sad. According to Reagan a headband makes everything better!

Halloween Activities 2009

On our way downtown with the Blads to meet up with other friends on Main St. for some Halloween fun HB style.
Trick-or treating at all the stores on Main St.

Waiting on the curb after eating at Wahoos. Time to get back to more trick-or treating.
Jack Pot! A cotton machine!! As is we didn't already have enough candy.....bring on the delicious goodness.

Spooooooky!

TRUNK-or Treat!! This is at our ward Halloween party the night before. We passed out bags of cookies we made since we are bakers this year. We made EZ's costume a cookie bc that's all we can bake in our family.....chocolate chippers and babies are our only two specialties.

Reagan and a few of her friends on the back of the Blad's truck. They won the award for the scariest trunk.

Reagan did the cake walk for the first hour we were at the party. This is what she came back with. Did they make that especially for her? The biggest pink, piled with frosting, cupcake I've ever seen. Her absolute favorite treat......but then again I don't think she's ever eaten the cupcake part. She just licks the frosting off.

We won an award for our cookie theme....go Ebs!

FHE pumpkin carving party... Anna walked in with this shirt on so Reagan ran into her room changed and came out with the same one. What cute little twinners.

We tried to get all the kids to line up and this is about as good as we could get.

The final product........wooooooo!

The battle was on for the best pumpkin. Ryan met his match this year. Brock's jack-o-lantern rocked.

The babies at the Lombardi's for their annual Halloween gingerbread making party. This is June bug, EZ, and Brinners.

Reagan was a champ! She won for best kids house! Don't even think about taking a bite unless you want to eat regurgitated frosting. I think she licked ever bit of frosting that went on that house. Yum!

This was the first night we wore our costumes to a party at the Clawson's in our ward. We has so much fun dressing up. I couldn't talk Reagan into joining in on our theme. She had to be a pink princess. I don't blame her. Why would you want to wear all white plain clothes when you could wear pink sparkly princess clothes.

Tanaka Farms

Here we are just waiting for everyone before we take the bus to Tanaka Farms. One of Reagan's favorite things to do at preschool is to play "Mommy". This is so dear to my heart bc I hope that she is able to someday be a mom of her own and experience the pure joy of being able to raise children. Nothing in my life can even hold a candle to the joy they bring to my life.
This picture just cracked Brock and I up. Now there is a girl on a mission. I think she asked me 50 times when the bus was going to get there.
We're finally on the bus!!!
Sophia & Reagan...little farm buddies

Reagan with two of her best buddies Lukey and ZoZo on the hay ride

Reagan with her teacher, Ms. Jeanette

Pumpkin Patch here we come!

Little EZ is zonked out. What a trooper following us where ever we go.

Mommy & Skelator!

Play Group

The magic of snack time. When it's my turn for play group I always save snack time for when they're at the point they're about to rip each other's hair out or I'm about to rip my hair out (the first usually precedes the second). Actually I shouldn't say that bc they truly are little angels. I've loved getting close to Reagan's sweet little friends. They are so dear to our family. I'm lucky to have great friends who are raising such great friends for my kids. I hope we will always live close to them!!

"Ladies Night" has turned into dinner at the park

Well, I guess it has to if we still have the kids. It seems like the boys have a tradition of going to Lou's BBQ after Priesthood Session and the girls have gone out to dinner. This year since most of us now have multiple kids we opted for dinner at the park. Let's take the chaos outside!!This picture is especially cute to me bc I can see my little buster's two bottom "toofers". I thought the second time around I wouldn't get as excited about his "firsts" boy was I ever wrong. I think I get even more excited bc I savor it more. I realize now how fast the baby stage, and every stage for that matter, goes by. Why do they have to grow up?
Brinners and EZ. A match made in heaven....too cute!
