Alex Birthday Party

Spencer Batman! Abby was a butterfly more pictures to come of her!
Painting pumpkins!




Alex turned 1! He had a wonderful party full of fun activities, presents and yummy food! One of the highlights was the dad eating doughnuts contest. It will come to no shock that Todd took first place. We were so proud. Thanks for such a fun party Jim and Lala!




Black Forest Pumpkin Patch

We had such a fun time at the Pumpkin Patch with our good friends the Carters! Thanks for showing us the finer things of Syracuse!
Spencer wanted to pick a green pumpkin! It was so fun to pick it off the vine and take home to our ever growing collection of pumpkins.


They had so many fun things for little kids and (big kids) to do. We went on a hay ride, shot corn from a cannon gun, rode in water jugs, went down a hay slide, had hot chocolate and kettle corn. It was a perfect fall night with family and fun friends!

Happy Kids!

I love any reason to celebrate! Any holiday is so fun for me because I have these two happy, loving kids that get so excited over the decorations, the treats, the count down chains, the errands to prepare for the big day and so on. I love that they are thrilled with life and enjoy the simple things that make traditions and memories treasured. With so many fun events coming in the next few months, we will be seeing these smiles and little giggles for days to come! These sweet kids make all the hard mom jobs worth it all, who wouldn't do anything for those kiddos!Love you Babies!

Pumpkin Decorating

Spencer and Abby by 2 of the 5 decorated pumpkins! They had so much fun watching the pumpkins come to life with their silly little faces. Spencer is taking his Alien pumpkin to show and tell, he is so proud of his decorating skills!


Happy Halloween!



Girls and the President


I was able to sneak away from my cute kids and hubby and join my sister to go visit my mom and dad in PA. It was so fun to be with them and experience their daily life. They are doing such a great job on their mission, and they are so loved by all their elders and sisters. I can hardly wait to go back over turkey day. I love and miss you mom and dad, but I am so proud and impressed by the loving and spiritual way you lead your life and the Harrisburg Mission!

GO UTES!

Football Season is here and Todd is loving every minute of it! Spencer went to the game with Todd and cheered all night long.... GO UTES! He then explained to me the next day that the boys who play football are a TEAM and that mommy, daddy,abby and him are a FAMILY TEAM! So here is to a good season to the UTES and TEAM LARSON!

GONE FISHING


Todd took the kids up to the mountains...while I snuck away with Laura to St. George. When I returned Spencer brought home a Craw-Dad. He was so excited to show me that I had to quickly get over how disgusting they looked and take some pictures of my fisherman! The kids had a great time with their dad and I had a great time shopping, going to movies, having a goodnight sleep, and girl talk with Laura. It was a much needed break for mom and good quality time for dad and kiddos!
