Thanksgiving 2009

This is pretty much the only picture I took on Thanksgiving Day and it was when we were leaving my parents house. I realized, "Wait! We haven't taken a picture today! Let's get one really quick!" My grandma is 91 1/2 and I always try to get a picture of her and the kids when I have the chance (even though I know she will live 10 more years at least). I was happy to spend Thanksgiving with my dad, grandma, Lindsay and her kids, but I was really sad when we got there and my mom was leaving for work. It's not a holiday if mom is not there. So I sulked a little that day, but the food was great and I love my family very much and am so thankful for them. Plus I got to spend some quality time with my dad.


I am now 30 weeks and can not believe that I am seeing the OB every 2 weeks now. I am all of a sudden feeling so big and uncomfortable. It felt like it happened overnight going into my 3rd trimester. But all is well and we are excited for Christmas!
We decided to put up the tree for FHE. Might as well enjoy the decorations the whole month!

Mug Shots

I told the kids not to play in the muddy tree hole.


Again, they had to learn their lesson the hard way by having Papa spray them off with the cold hose water. It was pretty funny watching Aaron try to catch Lilly like she was a greased pig. I would have taken a picture, but they were naked.

What the kids have been up to

The kids have watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks lately and so Lilly decided to give the kids a ride on her broom.
I usually find Elsie on the table scrounging for the kids leftovers. On this day I found her eating some yogurt and lovin it!

Yogurt is obviously a luxury in our house.



And while we all found it hilarious.....


Anders did not. You can guess who's yogurt it was.
But I guess they have to learn to finish their food the hard way!

Two More


I have needed a distraction the last couple days, so I got in the sewing mood and whipped out a couple more purses. The poka dots is the buttercup bag designed by Made by Rae(I have made this one before). The green and white is the Phoebe Bag and is designed by Rebeka Lambert. They are so easy and so cute. Both can be made in a day. The Phoebe bag is my first attempt and I really like it because it is a little bigger and the design is so cute, but really simple. I can't wait to try some other fabrics! I don't know why but I love to sew purses. Now who to give them to? Hmmm...

Halloween was Incredible!

Incredibly easy that is! Thanks to my sister in law, Kristen, I didn't have to plan anything for this year! We didn't do anything special this Halloween. We went to our Ward party and my parents came to visit, but that is about it. I didn't even get to carve pumpkins with the kids this year:( But we had a good time and I always enjoy when family comes to visit. My mom was also so nice to bring me her pumpkin dinner all ready to be made. Now I don't have to worry about Sunday dinner tonight. Thanks mom!

Name Change

Kimberlee and Ethan have decided to change the name of their new baby to Atticus David Krok. Kimberlee wasn't feeling good about the other one and we just got the news it has been changed!

Lindsay had a sweet little girl on October 23rd. They named her Ava and she was 6# 9ounces and both are doing great! It's been an exciting week for the Whetton family!

Scrapbook skirt, babies, and mission




I have finished sewing my skirt for the scrapbook room! I know, I know, it is a little wrinkly and I did not have enough fabric for one section (which is a sitting section anyways), but it feels good to hide all of the buckets and boxes. Now I just need some matching curtains. If I can find fabric on sale then I will make them, but sometimes it is cheaper to buy them already made. I'm so excited and I love this room!
In other news...my sister Kimberlee had her second little boy a couple days ago in Sydney, Australia! He was 7 pounds 9 ounces and they named him Presley David Krok. I'm am dying knowing that I will not see him for a while:( but I am very excited for them both. BUT my other sister Lindsay is having her little girl October 23rd and we are going to visit that day since it is a c-section and there is no waiting!


It is amazing that Kimberlee has had this baby when only 10 months ago she was recovering from a serious, life threatening head injury. Her boys will be only 14 months apart! Congratulations Kimberlee and Ethan!
Aaron's brother, Caleb, just left for the MTC this past Wednesday and will be serving his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Washington D.C. Spanish speaking mission. We will miss his happy, helpful spirit around here!
My pregnancy is going very well and one advantage of this being the 4th child is that I am so busy with the other kids that I forget I am pregnant. This pregnancy is flying by!
