Catching up!

 I feel way behind in my blogging this month! Time to catch up! The weekend everyone left Doran got really sick with the same sickness Brocky had, but he got it even worse. He was throwing up and in the bathroom all night and it went on into Sunday morning. The next day when Seth got home from work he had it and was sick for two days. The Clowards got home and Brent got it and the Yakiwchuks got it too! I feel so bad that it spread so bad!
 We went fishing one last time before it got too cold. The boys both got their two fish!

 Seth is so good at cutting and cleaning the fish! I don't think I could do it.
 Doran is really good at eating them!

 Brocky's kindergarten had a Thanksgiving program and feast. I was able to leave work early and go with Seth.

 Brocky is so sweet and is still at the age where he loves his mommy and daddy!




 Doran and Brock were really excited when they got mail. They opened up the letters from Grandma Geneal and they had giftcards to Target in them! They wanted to go to Target that very second!
 So we did. Brocky got a stuffed puppy and Doran got football cards and play-dough.
 This year I put up the Christmas tree and then the boys and Audrey did all the decorating all on their own!

 Both Brock and I got our hair done. Brock loves getting his hair cut like Captain America.

 Thanksgiving morning Seth and I were busy! We woke up at 5:30 and went to the gym together. Then we went home and got Grandma and the boys and went and did the Turkey Trot!

 Seth and I stayed with Doran the whole race. He ran so hard! He did the race in 42 minutes! We were really proud of him. Brock stayed with Grandma and was really upset about how slow they were going. Grandma decided to take a couple of shortcuts and the ended up finishing before us. That cheered Brock right up!

 All done! Such an awesome little guy!
 After the Turkey Trot we went to Seth's turkey bowl. I ended up playing in it too! I caught a few big passes even! I am no Seth though.
 We had Thanksgiving dinner at my mom and Papa K's. It was great and the boys were so happy there cousins were there!
 The next day the boys were playing in Granny's fields with Jayce and Claire and they found some of Poppy's old horseshoes. I thought it was so neat!

 We went to the fundraiser for my friend Janelle and Doran kicked butt running! He is a determined little guy!
 We went and did a little shopping with Jen! The kids all loved the huge tree at the outlets!

 Doran got his Christmas present from Uncle Zach a few weeks early. He got it right before the start of the Broncos Chiefs game! He loves it!
 We have the most handsome little guys! They came in to help me a couple mornings this week at work because they couldn't go to Aunt Samantha's because they had a lot of sickness there this week.
 Sports day! They got to wear hats to school! They were really excited about it!

 Yesterday we went to the Home Depot kids workshop! They made tic tac toe boards! They were really cool and they loved them!

 Today Seth and I made gingerbread men with the boys. They had lots of fun decorating them. Doran couldn't eat them so he gave one of his to Grandma.
 Brock was so excited to eat his and ended up only having a little bite. I think decorating was fun enough ;)
Hopefully I don't get so behind again!

More pictures

 We had a few more pictures last night. Grandma and Papa K came over for a little bit last night to visit while everyone was here. We took a few fun pictures.
 Grandma and Papa K!
 Grandma and her grandkids.

Grandpa Cloward

 Tuesday morning while I was work I got a text from my dad asking me to call him. I knew exactly what he was going to say. Grandpa Cloward passed away during the night. Dad jumped in his car and just started driving. (This picture was just one of the boys cuddling one morning when I was getting ready for work. I loved it.)
 Dad got in town the next afternoon. We went to Mi Ranchito with a couple of his siblings. His sister brought a ton of old pictures. I loved looking through all of them.
 It was so funny to see my dad in some of the pictures. I couldn't believe how much he looks like little Brent.


 This was my favorite picture of grandpa. He looked so handsome and the background is really awesome too.
 That night the Mi Ranchito didn't sit well in Brocky's tummy. He threw up over and over during the night.
 The viewing was the next night.
 This is the most recent picture of grandpa. I can't remember grandpa without a smile on his face. He was always sitting there smiling and watching.
 The next day was the funeral. It was a really nice service. There were lots of nice things said about grandpa. At the graveside he had a 21 gun salute for his service in WWII. I have never seen one done and it was very neat and really special.






 We will miss grandpa, but he is definitely so much better off. He has been doing so bad for so long. He has been missing grandma for a long time too.


 Handsome boys!
 Brent and Brent.


 Here is a picture of all the grandkids. It will be wrong at the end of March when Ryan and Emily have their next little boy.

Last weekend

 I got pretty behind on blogging again. I have had to work full time the last two weeks and have had a hard time keeping caught up with things. Luckily, I still took pictures. Last Saturday morning we woke up and took the boys to the kids workshop at Home Depot. They built pilgrim ships this month.


 Audrey and her dad met us there too.
 After we had a big surprise for the boys. We flew in Uncle Zach and didn't tell him he was coming. We told them we were going for a drive and then we said lets go and watch airplanes at the airport. So we sat in the park n wait pretending we were just watching the airplanes. When we pulled up to get him they were so surprised. It was so fun!
 We got to hangout with him for almost three whole days because he didn't go home until Monday evening. I got some great pictures of them being funny!
 Zach is leaving today for Afghanistan and he will be gone for six months. Everyone has been really sad about him going. We won't get to see him until next summer. When he was telling everyone goodbye Jaxon just started sobbing. I thought it was so sweet! All the kids really love their uncle.

 The boys saying goodbye to Uncle Zachy!

We hope Uncle Zachy is very careful for the next six months. We are anxious for his safe return home!
