Tonight we had a High Priest Group activity consisting of eating a Thanksgiving-style dinner and shooting guns at the church ranch 30 minutes east of Orlando - that militant regiment of the Mormon Militia in Florida needs to stay sharp, and well-fed!
Of late, she's mostly frustrated us with her highly refined 3-year old behavior. Then she goes and does something like this (without being coaxed) and we somehow love her more than ever...
Brielle and her friend Kaley.
Logan's first attempt at shooting real guns. He shot both a 22 rifle and this 22 Ruger pistol. A whole lot of warning and prep went into this, and Dad never took his hands off while Logan was shooting. However, Logan assured us he REALLY liked it and wants to go again. Couldn't coax his sisters to take some shots (which is actually fine by me), but they found an old PVC pipe and were using it to "announce the news" from the event, so everyone was happy. Notice that the look on his face is different in all of these (but Brielle's is always the same)...
Jackston's first time at the beach. He loved it. He also enjoyed mom's sunglasses to keep the wind out of his eyes. What a stinkin' cute kid!!!
We just love this little cutie! He is growing way too fast!!
Jake's parents were in town so we traveled up to the Atlanta Aquarium which was VERY worth the drive. We saw some of the most interesting sea life we've ever seen. This is one of their huge Rays behind Raegan. 
As is commonplace these days, Brielle insisted on being carried "like a princess". This is in front of their cool penguin tank, where one can crawl underneath it and poke their head up and look at penguins inches away through a clear plastic cylinder.
These were my favorites - the Japanese Spider Crabs. They were HUGE, and also rather creepy...
Piranhas - fierce little buck teeth...

Logan and Raegan 4 years ago!
Raegan and Logan had their first soccer game this weekend. They both had a great time sweating in this Florida heat. Raegan was very aggressive and enjoyed playing offense more than defense. Logan just ran around chasing the ball with a huge smile on his face the whole time.
Doesn't she look so cute!!!
Jake sent up the tent in the front room and the kids loved every minute of it. It even smelled of campfire still so we had the outdoor effect.
Two wreaths I made. One for myself and another for Brittney. Which do you like better?
