Tday 2011

I'm a little behind...so here's Thanksgiving late. We love going to Jared's sisters house for Tday. They live in ID and they go all out. Due to schedules we headed out on Thanksgiving day and had awesome weather. We showed up and dinner was ready to be served! Love that! We had fun visiting with family, cousins playing, eating, laughing, talking, shopping, more eating, football and having fun. Uncle Kim takes all the kids to a awesome kids play place every year and they love it. We had such a good time and enjoyed seeing everyone!

Part of the masses hanging out.

Grandma always gets the kids matching jammies for Christmas and we open them for fun pictures. Here are all the grandkids that were there. We are missing a few and so sad they couldn't make it. Tagg insisted on wearing those glasses on his head.

Because of Lydia we finally had a kid in the girl cousin picture! Yeah!

Of course the cute boys!

Love this pic of Lydia with her cute cousin Kate. She loved holding Lydia the whole weekend.

Some morning chaos all making/eating breakfast.

This is wear the boys slept, in front of the TV in the movie chairs. They loved it! One for each of them. We had an awesome time and the boys really needed to see their cousins since we didn't go anywhere in the summer.

Flag Football

Rees loves football and couldn't wait for the flag football season to start. Luke to my surprise wanted to play too. They got to be on the same team with their good friend Gavin. They loved it! It was fun to see them play and they slowly improved over the season.

They moved around a lot but Rees played both offensive and defense and Luke mainly played defense. Luke is playing center here with Rees blocking.

Luke was returning the ball with Rees in front throwing done some blocks.

This is the boys after their last practice. It was raining and of course they played mud football and absolutely loved it! I just laughed when I picked them up.

Love the handprints on Rees' back.

The last day they got to play in a mini tournament with 4 teams on the High School football field. Their team won! They were so excited! They had some fast players on their team.

They had a blast. I think Rees ran it a few times, got 2 extra points, Luke had some amazing tackles and would rip the flag off then just chuck it up in the air.

After the tournament on the High School football field - so cool!

There's my Stenson boys! So glad they could play together, they really did well and had so much fun.

Afterward they had a pizza party and gave out certificates. Here is Rees. Luke and Jared were at the OSU football game so they didn't come.

The little boys loved the pizza party!

Tagg Turns Three!

I can't believe it but our little Tagg is 3! He had a Bday at the beginning of November. At the last minute I decided to throw him a party since he never has had one. After going back and forth we decided on Lighting McQueen.

We made license plates,

played pin the wheel on Lighting McQueen (recycled from an earlier party). Love it!
Jared and the boys made a race track around the room with tape that the boys loved running around on. We did different games with that and music. And I brought over some of Tagg's cars that the boys just played with.

Tagg picked out mini cupcakes and ice cream.

And of course he got to open some presents. He was a stinker for most of it but later got happier.

On Tagg's actual Bday we went to his brothers flag football game then took them all out to lunch at McD's.

Boys having fun in the playplace.

We headed home to open presents, have cake and ice cream and watch Cars 2.

He got Siddely the Jet from the movie and all the neighborhood kids come over and fight over it.

Tagg wanted a circle cake and Jared talked him into rainbow chip cake, since a 3 yr. old changes his mind constantly, as long as there was chocolate ice cream he was good.
We are so lucky to have Tagg in our family and he cracks us up with his crazy facial expressions. He is a loving boy and we are so lucky to be his parents! Love you Tagg!
