Baby 1 month pictures

 She was so tiny at 1 week.
 Katy reminded me that she was one month on this day.  So I hurried and snapped a picture.


 I love how Spencer is holding her hand.  He is so gentle with her.  It's funny because he says she is too heavy for him.  We are always trying to get him to use his muscles because he is so scrawny.


 Bathtime is her favorite.
 I have to remind myself to be the pictures too.
 Eliza at 1 month

Look how similar she is to my other girls.   The only difference is their hair.  It's amazing.
 Kaylee
Lanaya






We rewarded the kids with an art project.  Even Adam joined in.  Their reindeer turned out really cute.
This is a picture of how we find Lanaya asleep every night.  There is no room to sleep because of all the books.  It reminds us of Spencer who loaded and loads his bed with Toy Story toys.  

November


 Silly Uncle Brock comes to play with the kids and rough them up a little before bedtime.  This week he had a wall sit competition with them.  I love how Spencer is copying him in the second picture.

 Kaylee had a Christmas program yesterday at school.  She was so excited for us to see it because she has been practicing really hard to memorize her songs and poems.




 These are our new chore charts that have been a life saver.  I got the idea from a friend, thanks Cami, and had to make some just like hers.  Since the baby has come I haven't been able to follow threw with what I tell the children and they in turn are getting lax and realizing they can get away with more.  It has been really frustrating for me.  These charts have made it easy for the kids to remember what is expected of them and now I don't have to remind and nag all day long.
 She got the November character count award in November for gratitude.

 During our Thanksgiving celebration the men went and played football.  Dad happen to have a box of matching pants and t-shirts for everyone.  I was so proud of Adam for going and not having to be convinced to go have some fun, especially because it was so cold.  Adam came home very sore.


They were waiting so patiently for Thanksgiving dinner.


 Adam took the kids to Vernal for some sort of holiday celebration they were having.  This is the banana cotton candy they loved.


 The highlight of the day for Spencer was riding the bull. 
This was a fun ride for the kids.   Just looking at their faces tells it all.  I think they actually might enjoy Lagoon now instead of being too scared.
There are no words!
The kids got to sit on Santa's lap at Dads' work party.  They were all so brave  Adam convinced Kaylee to ask for a surprise because she didn't really know what she wanted for Christmas.  Good move!  Spencer wants anything superhero.  Lanaya wants anything with Mick Mick Mouse (Minnie Mouse).

November Birthday's and Baby Pictures

 Nana had a birthday party for the November birthdays.  Cousin Axel and Kaylee.
Lanaya and Saryn are the cutest little friends and trouble makers.
 She made wonderful pirate cupcakes and fairy cupcakes. 
 All of the cousins.  How cute are they?  
 Lanaya and Lydia playing the piano.
 Ta-Da...........She is finally here!  This not the most lovely picture but at least we took one.
 This is how daddy swaddles her.
 Adam was so excited to get baby home and show the kids.  It really felt like Christmas.  

Eliza Rose Pitcher
11-12-13
7 lbs. 8 oz.



 She has been lying in the sun because of jaundice but other than that she is perfectly healthy.
My favorite part is her black hair.  She has the most hair of all our kids.  She is adorable.

Halloween and Birthday

 Kaylee won another contest.  It was a pumpkin contest at the library. 
 Spencer loved his spider pumpkin.
 They all wanted to be what they were last year.  Of course I let them because it was easy.
Spencer the Knight!
Kaylee the tooth fairy!
Lanaya the Minnie Mouse!
 We just had to get a picture of this. She is so independent but almost too small for her own good.
 Kaylee had a friend birthday party.  Yes a little early but I didn't know if I would be up to it next week.  She insisted on pancakes and princesses again.
We had princess Merida (Katy) come and help paint their fingernails.  They were all so excited and thought she was the real one.
