Thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving this year was WONDERFUL! We had it at Jon and Katie's house and it was beautiful. All 8 cousins played together outside. It was a little chilly but no one minded one bit. Grandma Cindy made all the kids Indian headbands to wear. They loved them! Jon and Jeremy smoked the turkey and everyone else pitched in to make the rest of the meal. It was all delicious. This was the first time the whole Wright Family has been together for Thanksgiving in 10 years!!! It was great to all be together.

Nature Hike At Hummel

Before Thanksgiving, my Mom and I took the kids to Hummel Park to go on a nature hike and learn about Turkeys. They were having a Turkey event that morning. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day. They made Turkey Calls before we headed out for the nature hike. It was just a fun morning to be out in the woods enjoying nature.

Jordy's Swimming Lessons

Just a little Jordy update. He has been doing swim lessons once a week for the last few months. He is doing wonderful and really enjoys having the whole class to himself (There just happens to be no one else in his class at this time). He is doing really well with the undivided attention and making great strides.

Harper is 16 Months

This little lady is 16 months old and I feel like she needs an update. She is growing up so fast and I can't stand it. She is sweet and smart, feisty, and fearless, all rolled into one adorable little peanut. She is starting to sing, loves to dance, eats with a fork and spoon, eats all day long, weighs about 24lbs, loves cashews and popcorn, babbles constantly but has few words, has mastered the art of nodding her head "yes" or "no", loves baby dolls and blocks. She is my little helper always trying to unload or load the dishwasher, a little emotional, loves her brothers to death (when they are not bugging her ;)), prefers to stand or squat in the tub (haven't figured it out because she loves the bath just likes to stand in the water), is pretty good at independent play, likes me to put her hair in pig tails or pony tails, and loves to try to make us laugh. She is very silly but also very cuddly. She is just such a sweet little girl and this is such a fun age with her!

Halloween 2014

Always playing catch up these days it seems. I am nearly a month behind on getting our Halloween pics posted. Better late than never, right?!?! Papa and Gma Wright spent Halloween weekend with us and helped celebrate Jordy's Birthday. It was so cold but the boys did great. Logan and Jordy were The Mario Brothers and Harper was the Toad. Our neighborhood was packed with kids. Harper lasted about 30 min and then headed back to the house with Gma and Papa Stanzel to pass out candy. She could not have been any happier with her new job!

The next day we continued the Birthday Celebration at Chucky Cheese. The boys absolutely LOVE this place so we took both sets of Grandparents there for the day. Jordy had a blast!

Skiball was definitely where it was at! Jordy and the rest of the fam hung out at skiball for quite some time!

And Finally enjoying his "Train" cake he asked for! Happy Birthday Jordy G!

Jordy is 4!

Jordy is 4! Our silly, quirky, sweet boy is growing up. He has no problem going at his own speed and his sweet disposition keeps him wrapped around our fingers. He has an amazing imagination that keeps me intrigued. I absolutely love to just have alone time with Jordy and listen to him talk. He amazes me with what he knows and his kind heart. He is an awesome brother to Logan and Harper amd will always play with either of them. He is a great helper to Mom and Dad and a giver by nature. He would rather you have something than him. We love you to the moon and back Jordy G!

Some things about Jordy at 4 . . .
Favorite color - Blue
Favorite Food - Macaroni and Cheese
Favorite Drink - Chocolate Milk
Favorite show - Still probably Bubble Guppies
What he wants to be when he grows up - a Fireman
Favorite Toy - Trains but he plays with anything and everything
Best Friends - Eliot from California, Riley from school, and his brother
He rarely makes it through an entire movie but his favorite is probably "The Lorax"

We headed to the Childrens's Museum on his Birthday to celebrate. Of course everyone had a great time there. They always do!

Later that evening we carved pumpkins. Jordy chose a skeleton and Logan decided on Mario. Harper did not make it to this part of the night. She was one tired gal.

First Time Fishermen

Jeremy took the boys fishing a couple different times this past month. They headed down to Kansas to a spot Papa Burt likes to fish. They each got fishing poles for their Birthdays so they were set. Jordy got his on the last trip down the day before his B-Day. He was excited. Papa Burt also got each of the boys their own tackle box so they were set. Logan really is developing a love of fishing. He likes to hold the fish and is willing to help in nearly every part of fishing. Jordy is still a little hesitant to touch the fish but had fun for his first time. I love that they were able to meet up with Papa Burt for the day and create these awesome memories.
