Whenever Vivie wakes up, I'm usually in the middle of something
& I ask Vance to go talk with her til I can get there.
They both love it!

We had Brock & Adler's combined family birthday party.
The kids played & the parents played!
It was a fun day.
Amelia loved watching Viv.
Pizza party!
Time to open presents!
Isn't that every kids favorite part?!
The boys wanted a candy cake this year!

When babies do this, you just have to take a picture!
She was so tired she just flopped forward & fell asleep.
Our Vancie!
Getting the lawn mowed before the snow flies!
The only thing I can conclude is that the weather must have been tricky...
no shirt, pants & winter boots!
Vance decided that he needed a morning nap with Olivia.
Leah taking care of Vivienne at a playdate.
During Viv's morning nap I still try to squeeze in a quick workout downstairs.
But it's hard to run when you have someone on the couch staring at you
like this!
Playing, playing, playing.
(that is the same baby doll all of us cousins used to play with at Grandma Pearl's house)
Viv is in a phase of pestering Livy lately.
Olivia knows this is part of the process, but can't wait til she leaves her alone!
Oh this boy...he sure knows how to make me smile!
He's smiling because he got to leave the house
wearing his favorite jeans, sweater vest & play shoes!
Menards had their Christmas trees set up &
we had so much fun looking at all the lights!
We stopped at a pool & spa place & for the fun of it grabbed a few brochures on pools.
Luke is taking a gander at it!
The Becker Bulldogs won another state championship this year.
Luke & I had a date night & went to one of their games.
It was fun, because a good friend was officiating it!
Adler playing basketball.
We were so proud of him for going out there & practicing some drills.
That was short lived & he quickly became nervous, reserved, & didn't want to be there.
But everyone showed up to watch him,
so while he sat on the bleachers, everyone else stayed & played in the field house.
Thankfully he pushed through & went back out there during the next practice.
We all stopped at Nelson Bros. for supper & ice cream.
It was our 1st time there & the kids loved it,
especially the free ice cream, video games, & gift shop!
All the boys with their new haircuts.
What a girl!
Lovin swingin.
Playing at the park after school while the weather is still nice,
knowing the snow will be coming soon.
1st snow fall of the year! The kids loved it.
Basketball drills. Adler doing pushups!
We made a trip to the farm.
The boys were excited to use their metal detectors & find some treasures!

-----s---t---r---e---t---c---h----!
Brock & Viv lovin on each other!
Zooming their cars in the hallway, trying to keep Viv out!
Helping feed Viv a bottle.
Dancing to scootpad at home.
Watching AFV! Her absolute favorite show.
She literally will sit (or lay!)& laugh through the whole show.
Loves watching the snow fall.
Got the Christmas tree up! Bring on the holidays!
"... the stockings were hung by the chimney with care..."
I LOVE Christmas!
Vivienne loves going to sports to watch her brothers.
Basketball is no exception!
Hanging out with grandpa.
Relaxing with Livy.
This is what happens when you get a new mattress...
the boys use it as a wrestling mat, jungle gym!
Taking the team for a ride with Uncle Joe!
