Thanksgiving Day

We had a nice Thanksgiving. Kelly and Jax came! Kelly looks like Jesabel in this picture because prior to the picture being taken...our soon to be make-up artist Audrey, gave Kelly a complete makeover! :) AND our Thanksgiving table looks rather Christmasy because when I went to go buy Thanksgiving decor, I couldn't find any....there is always next year, but I love the Christmas decor anyway.




After our Thanksgiving eats the kids went out and played in the leaves...too much fun! Jaxon had fun burying everyone in the leaves, including himself.

Big Boy William

William is growing up! He says LOTS of words....and trys to say everything, but his favorite word is "ba-ball" and "shoot." Today at church he found a basketball under our seats (we were sitting in the back!) and then looked up and saw the basketball hoop....and THEN the entire church building heard his favorite words...."ba-ball!!", "shoot-shoot!!" over and over until Gene decided it was best to take him out to the foyer! :)

PRESENTING....President Austin J. Ahlborn!!!

HOORAYY!!!! Austin ran for President of Student Council at Rand Road Elementary and won. I was outside with William waiting for the kids to come home on the bus on Friday....and when "Miss Cindy" the bus driver pulled up to their stop she was honking and clapping and all the kids had their heads hanging out the window chanting "go Austin!" Then Austin came and told me the good news! He is so excited and so are we! :)

HALLOWEEN

The kids had lots of fun at the church Halloween Party AND trick or treating on Halloween night in our neighborhood. The two children in the middle of these pics are some twins that live in our neighborhood, Ethan and Elaine. Ethan and Isaac are in the SAME class at school and they are such good friends!

SOME RECENT EVENTS...I'll catch up eventually!

Gene and his friend Xin celebrated their birthdays together at our house. Xin, her husband and daughter all came. Xin is from China and brought us a huge tub of authentic Chinese dumplings...YUMMMY! And BTW, our kitchen is no longer an orangy-salmon color...my sweet Gene painted it a beautiful peaceful green for me!


Isaac turns 5! Gene made him a Pokemon cake, by request.


Audrey hangin out in her wedding dress (which she insists she SHOULD be able to wear to church!) trying to pic out a temple from her BIG BOOK of TEMPLES, that she would like to be married in one day! And we WILL get a picutre to Aunt N. soon!!!


First day of school! :)

Gene and Sheri.....The Parents....

THE FAMILY

Its been 4 months since this picture was taken, and I still can't believe how good the kids were during the entire session....sorry its taken me so long....life gets crazy with 4! :) But they sure are cute!
