This was the first time we have ever made gingerbread houses. It was so much fun!!

Here is Daphne working hard. We have made some fun projects during play group this year.

Daphne and Dillon

Spencer and Wyatt
We have great friends who we love to spent time with!!

Playing in the SNOW

This was the first time Daphne got all dressed up in her snow gear. She was a little confused at first but was excited to go out and play.

The first big snow storm of the season. Ryker was watching out the window so I finally put some extra clothes on him and let him go out for a minute. It is a lot of work to get ready to go outside for the amount of time they stay out there.

Daphne did a great job shoveling. She was right behind and around Ben the whole time.

Playing in the snow.

Ryker tried eating it. He was just watching most of the time wondering what was happening.

Ryker's 1st Birthday!!!

Ryker Kristian Farmer, Our Birthday boy!!!
He was not interested at all in the presents. Daphne opened them all up for him.

Ryker did not feel good on his birthday. You can tell in this picture he was sick. He was still a good sport and excited about his new presents.

On his birthday we made cupcakes. The family was coming to Logan over the weekend so we waited for them to make a cake. He did not know what to think about that candle.

I don't think Ryker even put any of the cupcake in his mouth. He just squished it all up with his fingers.

Here is Ryker's dinosaur cake. Thanks Daphne for putting all the candy on top. Daphne was a big help. The day of Ryker's family birthday party their was a big snow storm and my family was not able to come. We missed celebrating with them.

I love this picture of Ryker and his cake. I can't believe he is ONE!!

Of coarse Daphne had to be in one of the pictures. She loved that I put Ryker on the table for pictures. She just had to be involved too. Ryker is so happy.

Ryker dug into his cake this time. It was probably all the frosting. We had a great time celebrating RYKER!! We love him and we are so glad that he is in our family.

Picking out a Christmas Tree with the Wingers!!!

Once again we went on our annual trip to pick out our Christmas Tree with the Wingers. This was our 6th year we have gone together to get our tree. Our family at the tree lot.

The Wingers and Farmers
We were both newlyweds the first time we went and picked out our tree. Now look at us. We are so grateful for our friends the Wingers. We love spending time with them and we are so grateful for all the memories we have with them. Thanks!!

Bowling with the Farmers

We went bowling with the Farmers Thanksgiving weekend.

This was Daphne's first time bowling ever!!
She really had a great time.

Daphne would rush up their every time and hoped it was her turn. It was hard sometimes waiting for her turn again.

Some of our group

Ryker with his scrunch face again. He is always so easy going and happy!!

Hogle Zoo- Thanksgiving morning

We went with the Mabey family to Hogle Zoo Thanksgiving morning. My family donated pumpkins for the animals to eat for their feast and they gave us passes to get inside and watch.

Dad and Daphne
It was a cold morning at the Zoo. We were all bundled up.

Here we are waiting for the Elephants to come out and eat the huge pumpkin. I was surprised with the amount of people at the Zoo.

Mommy and Baby Elephant

Ryker was in a daze the whole time. He looked like he was going to fall out of his chair. Events during his morning nap are always hard.

Dressing up. We love dressing up any way we can. Some did not want to dress up and we missed them in our picture.

Disney on Ice-Princesses

Me and My friend Jenni had a fun opportunity to take our girls to Disney on Ice. It was so fun to spend the day together and watch our girls get so excited to see the Princesses.

Me and Daphne during the show. Daphne could not stop staring at first. It was all a new adventure for her. I had never been before either so we got to share this first adventure together.

Fynlee-Jenni-Daphne-Anna
"Just the Girls"

Fynlee and Daphne got Cinderella dolls to take home with them. Daphne loves to talk about what happened at Disney on Ice.

Here all the princesses are dancing. Daphne loved this part. She even learned about princesses she had never heard about. What a fun time we had together. Thanks Jenni for coming with us!!

Playing around the House

Ryker and Daphne love to play under the table. Ryker thinks it is so fun to go in and out.

This is what I see all the time looking under the table.
Ryker is lucky to have a great sister that will play all these fun games with him.

We finished our rock pit in the back yard. It has been so fun to go out and dig. Now we will have to wait till spring to find the rocks again.

Daphne loves to play in Ryker's walker. Ryker will follow her around all over the house.

Ryker loves to play in his walker. He has learned how to get in and out of all our bedrooms upstairs. I am impressed because they are all so close.

Playing in the playroom. Ryker is now walking while pushing all the toys. Here is Daphne and Ryker pushing their toys together.

Who knew diaper boxes where so much fun?

Daphne loves crafts. She will sit and do projects all day if I let her.
