Happy Turkey Day!

Here is my first turkey! I am so proud of my turkey, tasted as good as it looks. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our home for the first time. We had Adam's brother Derek and his family over. The kids out numbered the adults, so it was non-stop fun. We had lots of food to eat and went for a walk at the lake afterwards and then came home to have pie. It was a great time, I just wish I had more pictures of the evening. I hope everyone had a good happy Thanksgiving. We are now decorating for Christmas and getting excited to see everyone soon. Thanksgiving is the kick-0ff for the holiday season! (quote by Adam Zickgraf)

Here is the adult table decorated in gold. It sure was fun putting it together.

Ford loves pies just like his daddy. First thing in the morning that is what he asks for breakfast.
Berry and apple pie and of course fresh whip cream!

Just before our guests arrived, Ford eating the beaters that have mashed potatoes on them.

This is the kids table, they loved having their own table and flowers too.

Easton was such a good boy, he got to hang out a lot with daddy so that mommy could get the cookin done. Easton now has two teeth that just broke through and another on the way, he is growing so fast! Sending love to all this Holiday Season.

Happy 3RD Birthday FORD!!!!!

Ford my Crazy 3 year old! I swear the day he turned 3 he was a different boy! SOOOOO much energy! He still has his sweet side and needs his mommy! The other night we were watching X men movie (a daddy movie). That night when he was saying his prayers Ford said, "Thank you for mommy, thank you for scary movies(X men), thank you for Bumble Bee, Jesus Christ Amen.
Thank you Micaela for making this awesome Boise State Cake! Thank you to all those that helped make his birthday great, he loved it!

Can you tell Ford's birthday fell on a BSU game! Easton is such a trooper putting up with Ford, Easton will just watch him for entertainment.

Holding his new Bumble Bee toy, he loved pushing the buttons on it and he also likes to point out the cars on the road that are yellow like bumble bee.

Showing off his new birthday BSU gear. His hat is so cute, looks like his daddy!

Happy Birthyday Ford! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Weekend in Logan

Last weekend we went on a little road trip to Logan to see Adam's older brother Derek and his little family. It was a great time, the kids played the entire time and the women of the family got breaks painting nails, watching Confessions of a Shopaholic(chick flick) and then all together going to a park where we engaged in football competitions and later watching the BSU game. We had a great time, Thanks Tasheena and Derek!

Here are the three latest additions to the Zickgraf Family. Roman, Easton and Ranger, they are going to have so much fun together!

Grandpa and Grandma Harris stopped by after going to the Logan Temple, which is beautiful to see up on the hill over looking the charming little old town of Logan.
So glad they stopped by.

Easton did a great job on the road trip, he really liked it when I was sitting next to him.

Here we are all loaded up in the awesome mini-van heading to the park.
Yes Derek and Carson are in the very back, fitted comfortable to I might add!

I love this picture of the Avril and Izabel. They had a lot of fun playing non stop for two days and nights! Thanks again for the good time in Logan, love you guys!

Happy Fall

Tree in my front yard. I love the trees at my house, the leaves really make it feel like fall.
My little guy exploring the leaves and getting them thrown on his head. Gotta love having a big brother!

Brotherly love!

All three in a pile of leaves. We are going to have a huge pile when they all fall, will show you soon.

We love our aunt Kristie coming over to play and of course Ryan too! Thanks for the pumpkin patch experience! Love you guys!

Potatoe Season

Digging for potatoes with Grandpa Doug. Izabel loved getting the potatoes, Ford loved getting the worms and Elly didn't love any of it.

Here they are trying to get potatoes. It was muddy so it was extra hard to find them in the clumps of dirt.

Here is Layla kickin it with Mom. She is growing so fast and smiling when you talk to her. She is a sweetie!

Ford is busy with his worms.

Field Trip to the Zoo

So Mary a friend of hers and I are doing our own pre-school and loving it. We switch off teaching each getting our own week, focusing on a letter and number of the day, singing the same welcome song and using a traveling calendar. The kids love it! Us moms like it too because we are learning to doing something new and we also get a break when it is not our turn. Anyways we went on our first field trip to the zoo, so much fun. The Boise zoo has improved, it now has a cool African exhibit with lions, giraffes and a cool jeep the kids can get in and drive(turn the steering wheel). The giraffe was hands down every ones favorite.

Izabel and Ford getting a good view one of the giraffes.

Ford loved the zoo, he was a little hard to keep track of, here is climbing on the fence.

Another giraffe shot, they are amazing animals. I think Heavenly Father had a lot of fun when he created the giraffe.

Here are all the kids in our pre-school. Ford, Addie, Elly and Izabel. We have an awesome little group of kids!
