Spring

We've had a very mild winter and today was the perfect spring day to go to the park 🌷

Happy 13th anniversary

Tonight we celebrated our 13 year anniversary at the Red Roof restaurant and realized we had a view of where Paul proposed and where it all began. 😊 I 'm so glad we get "forever" together.

Skiing

Skiing at Brighton felt like California skiing (just the way I like it). It was actually hot. I hadn't been on the slopes since before the girls were born. Jaxon took a two hour lesson since it was his first time. Kade and Bailey are at a diabetes camp (skiing too) so it was just the four of us and we had the best time.

Jaxon's all ready

Jaxon is going through a phase where he wants to get himself ready for church. Can you tell which one he did? 5 just isn't quite big enough, he cracks me up though.

Sweet Kids

Paul and I came home from a date to a fun project the kids worked on while we were gone. 

Class of 2027

Jaxon came home with his "Class of 2027" shirt. Its crazy to think of.

So sweet

Jaxon made me a "heart" pin. It was cut in half and he wanted me to wear one and he wore the other. This boy melts my heart every time.

Christmas Break Fun

At chuck e cheese burning off energy while the sisters and dad went skiing on this cold snowy day ❄️⛄️❄️

Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve! Tonight we opened Jammie's...

Sibling presents:

• Kades gave to Bailey 
• Jaxon gave to Kade
• Bailey gave to Kylie 
• Kylie gave to Jaxon

 and had a visit from Santa (aka Poppy)

Zoo Lights

Tonight we went to zoo lights at Hogle Zoo... 

We hadn't been before and didn't anticipate how crowded it would be. We only saw 2 animals (lions and tiger) but the lights were so pretty 🎄 and we had a great time. 

The best part was seeing Santa.

Demolition and cookies

Our Monday night: demolition of our flooring on the main level since our cleaning company ruined our wood floors and we're replacing them and decorating cookies. Those definitely go together right? At least we had 4 of the cutest helpers. 

Temple Square

It wouldn't be Christmas without a trip to see the lights at temple square. Paul sister's family was visiting for the weekend so we went to see them light up. It wasn't too cold but there were a ton of people.

Jaxon and the Fall

Jaxon took a tumble walking (more like running) home with his sibling p. I got a call from a friend who helped him and the girls. He looked like this when I picked him up.

We headed straight for the instacare where he got some numbing cream (it's under the blue bandage). He wasn't sure about it until a very sweet lady told him he looked like a ninja turtle.  It snapped him right out of the shock and he was ready to play. He was AMAZINGLY brave. The doctor kept asking if he needed a nurse to hold him down and Jaxon sat perfectly still he whole time (mom almost passed out it was so gross). He's a tough kid. 

Saturday Morning

Nothing compares to a little quality family time on a Saturday morning in the chalmers house 😳 I don't even think they know they're sitting by each other 

Heart attack

For our babysitter's birthday, the kids decided to write notes all over hearts and put it all over Chey's door. It was a lot of fun.

Children's museum

We love the children's museum

Happy Halloween

This year we had a Ninja turtle-Jaxon, zombie swat team-Kade, gypsy-Kylie and goddess-Bailey 🎃👻🎃 nana made baileys costume out of Amanda's old material. 

We went to the ward trunk or treat with the Barons, a fun Halloween tradition we've had the past 5 or 6 years. Then had chili and went trick or treating. The girls went off on their own for the first time. The boys did a few blocks with dad then were done. They had more fun eating candy and passing it out to trick or treaters. 

School Family Dance

Fun night at the kids Halloween party at school. 

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin patch tonight. They all chose the biggest pumpkins they could find. I couldn't even lift Kylie or Baileys.
