2009 Christmas Card Photo's

I was late on getting Christmas card photo's taken for my kids, which means I was late getting cards out, once again! They look like they were happy, but they were really awful. They kept fighting and crying, but we were glad to get a few cute pictures. Easton-6 years oldCamden-5 years old
AnaBella-2 Years old

My Christmas Trees

They let each of our kids try on the Christmas tree costume, they sure were cute in it.

Halloween Celebrations

The 30th and 31st of October were both very busy days for us. These pictures were taken before going to the school for the Halloween Parade. They each wanted to have pictures taken by themselves. Bella was practicing some of her cheers.
Camden and Easton had to pose for their pictures. They were in heaven in the Utah uniforms.

Halloween Parade's and Parties

I know that it is only 7 days until Christmas and I am posting Halloween pictures-sorry! I want to keep my posts in order, so that when I finally find the time to make this into a book it will be in the correct order.

Because Halloween fell on a Saturday this year all of Halloween festivities took place on Friday the 30th. We started out the day at the Elementary school for the Halloween Parade.

AnaBella was wearing Bridger's mask. Doesn't she make a cute Yoda cheerleader?

It was a lot of fun trying to keep these children entertained while waiting for the parade to start.Easton's 1st Grade Parade

Then we were off to Camden's Halloween Party!
That night after the Trunk or Treat we had a party with some of our neighborhood friends. There were a lot of fun games going on, but the cake walk and the eating of the donut off of the string. It was a fun night, and the kids had a ball!

More sleeping pictures

We found the kids a few weeks ago sleeping like this. It's a little hard to see, but AnaBella has her legs propped up on Camden's shoulder. It didn't seem to bother him at all. Easton couldn't handle Camden and Bella talking and playing. He wanted his earphones on so that he could sleep.

Hogle Zoo

We bought a Zoo pass in May and we finally used it while Easton was off track. My dad came with me, and helped keep the kids in line.The one day that we went it poured, we had to ride the merry-go-round to stay out of the rain.

AnaBella would not ride on one of the animals, but once I sat her on the bench she didn't want to get off.

Seriously!!!

I don't even know why we bother trying to get the five of these kids to look at the camera at the same time. We were just trying to get one picture of the kids looking at us all together, and they just kept playing around. This was out front in my Aunt Kitty's beautiful pond.These are the five Hummel grandkids, and three of my cousins kids as well.Grandpa Hal was letting the kids feed the fish, they loved it.

Snow Shack

After two soccer games and one football game in the heat we decided we all need a good Snowie. We stopped and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of these kids with their funny smiles! Stone, Easton, and Camden
This picture of Camden freaks me out, he reminds me of the Joker!

So Innocent

When my kids are sleeping they look so innocent. AnaBella always tells us that she wants to sleep with the boys. Normally we will leave her in there for a little while and then we have to put her in her own bed because she keeps the boys up. This particular night they were all so exhausted they all fell asleep on the floor. My boys have not slept in their beds this whole summer. They like to sleep together. Easton told me that after the earthquake he will sleep in his bed again. I think he is afraid that if there is an earthquake he will smash Camden in the lower bunk.

Just like Mom

Before I had kids I wondered what traits my children would inherit from me. I was actually hoping that my children would take after their dad, and not take anything from me. Easton sadly enough runs like his mom, now Camden takes my sleeping habits. He can sleep anywhere, as long as he is tired. I too can fall asleep anywhere, and in just a few minutes. This kid was awake about 3 minutes from our house. When we got home tonight this is how I found him in the back of the car.Just in case some of you are wondering what AnaBella takes from me, it is her ability to pout until she gets what she wants.

Night with the Kids

Eden and I had a RS dinner that we went to and Spencer watched all of the kids. He managed two 5 year olds, two 3 year olds, and two 1 year olds just fine. He even found the time to decorate the sugar cookies that the boys and I had made earlier. What a great dad! This is the great job that they did decorating cookies! Needless to say these cookies were just eaten by the kids.
