Fall has fallen at the Carthel house!!!!!

So there are many perks and blessings to being in Colton's family, however one of my favorites is getting to go the Pumpkin ranch and get lots of pumpkins!!!! So I went a little crazy this year and put pumpkins pretty much everywhere that you could put a pumpkin on the inside and outside of my house!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall very much and am so excited to be appropriately decorated for the Fall! Happy Harvest Blessings everyone!

Be still my heart...

If you would have told me that by 25 I would have 4 kids under the age of 4 I wouldn't have believed you. But here I am with the most precious, kind, compassionate, giving, loving, boys in the entire world! I am so blessed to be your mom!!!! I love you all more than you will ever know until you have precious kids of your own. It is a love I can't describe. There is NOTHING you could ever do to make me not love you or be here for you! XOXO

The night the boys wore red and black!

The night boys wore red and black and made mischief of one kind...

 and another...

 and another...

 Well I know it might pain some of you to see these precious darlings in red and black but boy did we have a good night! They got to see the horse (the masked rider), raider red and of course some raider football!!!! But if I had to tell the truth, I think their favorite part was the candy and popcorn that they got at the game... haha What a blessing to get to take our boys to a football game. They really had fun and I had a great time watching their precious faces and listening to them scream go raiders. Although Caleb now claims to be a red raider... So if any of you grandpa's want to relive this fun experience in orange and white please feel free!!!! ;)

 Aren't those some intimidating faces???

 looking for the horse!

 Cheesin it up at the stadium!

Love making sweet memories with my sweet family! A night I won't forget! Missed you Lakie Poo! Maybe next year!

Baby Kai's New Room!

So I know pictures don't really do it justice but here is Kai's room. It is grey with turquoise accents and cream bedding! It is really cute in person. We are all ready. Today Caleb asked if he could call Kai and ask him to come... see we are ready to hold and kiss you baby Kai! 

The Ten Commandments

So every night before the boys go to bed Colton always does a bedtime routine with them. Which consists of reading a story out the bible, doing a kids devotional, and most of the time reading the 10 Commandments out of a poem book that they love. At this time David and Goliath is Caleb's favorite bible story and we read and talk about it all the time. Since it is Caleb's favorite it is also Shannon's but he really listens very well to every story you tell. In case you can't understand what they are saying I will post the poem for you too!!!

Put God first, always and forever

Worship Idols? no no never

Of God's name, kindly speak

Rest one day of every week

Mind your parents, do not steal

If you wed your vows fulfill

Do not kill, say what's true

Be happy with what God gives to you

Shannon busting it out!

Caleb saying it loud!

Now for Laken's own unique version!
