This boy loves coloring.

These two really do love each other :).

Sometimes a girl needs a little quiet time while watching One Direction videos.

Their cousin Luke and Uncle Jeff were in town for a baseball tournament.

Thanksgiving in Utah

We headed to Utah for Thanksgiving this year with all of the Leatherwood cousins. We had a great time seeing everyone and enjoyed spending time together. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving dinner was held at my dad's house. Soraya came early and had fun playing with the kids.

Brother and Sister!

The four grand daughters. The three oldest are separated by only a year each.

That weekend we took Trax downtown to see Santa and have lunch. Kinley had fun sitting with Mallory.

Colton had fun with Blake on the train.

Colton wanted to do his own thing while walking to the mall, so Eric took control and carried him like this for awhile. :)

Unfortunately not all of the Leatherwood cousins could come but this is a great picture of the ones that were there.

Kinley had her first gymnastic meet in November. She was able to show off everything that she has learned; floor routine, bars, beam and jumping for a vault. She did great and you could tell how much she enjoys it! Enjoy!

Ready to go.

Waiting to do her floor routine.

Getting ready for the bar routine.

Spotted us in the crowd and waved with excitement.

Kinley did awesome on the bars.

Time to show off her beam skills.

Great job Kinley!

We are so proud of Kinley and her accomplishments!

Disneyland, Day 2

Day 2 started in California Adventure, then we moved on the Disneyland. Enjoy!

We got an extra hour at Disneyland because we stayed in one of the properties. We finally were able to hit up the Cars ride, which was always a 2+ hour wait, but this morning we waited 20 minutes before going. It was a blast!

Red!

Kinley was finally tall enough to go on almost every ride. This was her first experience on Tower of Terror....she loved it!

Doc McStuffins!

Colton asked me to take a picture with the Walt Disney statue in California Adventure...too cute!

Sully from Monsters Inc and University.

Kinley: "Look mom, I'm a zombie!"

I love going to Disney in the fall, much less crowded and we only waited 15-20 minutes for rides and meeting characters. I also love how the characters take the time with each kid and won't let ago until the kid does. This Mickey was awesome!! Kinley couldn't get enough and hugged him three times before we were done.

One tradition that we started last year was autograph books. It's a great way for the kids to talk to the characters and then I place their picture with the characters signature together. The kids love looking back through them remembering the fun times.

Another hug.

I love this picture.

Off to Disneyland and first person we saw was Ariel.

Ariel is one of Colton's favorite princesses....I think it's the red hair connection :).

Daisy Duck was next.

We went to the Princess castle next. We met Snow White.....

and Cinderella....

Watching Cinderella sign her autograph.

and Ariel (again).

Pooh's Corner was next with Tigger...

Eeyore....

and of course, Pooh!

After a short nap, we got ready to go to Mickey's Halloween party with Iron Man and Cinderella! Kinley received so many compliments about her dress....lots of people saying that it was the best Cinderella costume they'd seen.
