Shoell Fam Christmas Party

Its pretty sad that this is the best picture we had of all the Shoell Grandkids, hopefully between all of our cameras there might be a better one out there- although Tates face is pretty priceless!
Maxwell was not the biggest fan of Santa

Benson Was

This is Annabelles Shy face, if you can believe she has one

Walking Maxwell (almost)

Maxwell is actually walking towards me in this picture, he is up to about six steps, as you can tell he is pretty excited about it, its like he wants to run. He still prefers crawling, but I'm almost sure he will be walking more than crawling by Christmas.

BOO!

The cutest Cowboy, Pumpkin and Pirate I have ever seen!

I am Woody!

Look at all those teeth!
Annabelle found her match
As you can tell we were not even close to having a family theme. Beetle and I did not know what we were going to be until about midnight on Halloween Eve. Its amazing what Beetle can come up with when it is crunch time!

One Year Old






Our little Maxwell is One! He has added so much to our family this year, its hard to remember life without him. I love that his personality shows a little more each day. He is not walking yet but he is fine with it because he can get to where he is wanting to go FAST! He loves to explore and his favorite place right now is the bathroom-he loves to unravel toilet paper.
He does not hold still too often, so good job on the pictures Aunt Rachel! They really do show his personality!

Birthday Girl!!

This is the birthday Girl, She had a pretty fun day. She wanted an outfit for her build a bear so we went shopping. We were in the store for over an hour(poor girl inherited my gene on not being able to make decisions). We ate dinner at Arbys- she is in to their roast beef sandwiches, then everyone came to our house for cake and ice cream. Thanks for coming and celebrating with us family!
Too bad Beetle is not in the picture and it could be four generations.Actually-I do see his shoulder.
I'm glad every seat in the house was taken-- this does not happen too often!

Leave it to Beetle- to find a balloon this big!Were hoping the balloon lasts until Maxwells birthday-so we can get our moneys worth. He loves it!

First day of School

Can you find the hidden "toe"?I am proud to say we all made it through the first day of school, with only a few tears....Its so exciting but at the same time it makes you realize they are growing up way too fast!

Hogle Zoo!

We had to make a trip to Hogle Zoo before the summer ended, our kids loved it, we pretty much had the park to ourselves since school started yesterday(Annabelle has one more week of freedom). I cant believe summer is almost over, it has flown by!

They loved this spider web
We were lucky to catch the bears awake and in the water!
The easiest kind of picture to get with our kids

Beetle and Maxwell enjoying the shade

Annabelle wanted this picture for charlie.
This was our last chance to see the "Ghost of the Bayou" he's going back to Louisiana in a couple of months.

The classic Hogle Zoo Pic

On our way home we stopped to see the Logan temple.

We had a good time in Lava, here is a list of everything we did-and we did do everything, (except hike the "L"). We camped, floated the river, played at a park and swam at the pool with very high diving boards.
