Halloween is so much fun! But it is also a CRAZY time when Eric is gone for most of the month and we are trying to get the yard/house winterized. This is the first year in 2 years that Eric has been here for Halloween! We had a ward party, which was fun, you can acutally wear a costume that can be seen. The school had a carnival, Eric took the three older boys and I stayed home and canned apple sauce! Halloween we had a trunck or treat in the neighborhood, nice way to do it with little ones. We were done around 5:45 and then headed home for dinner and a movie night with the boys. What a great Halloween. Now we are gearing up for Thanksgiving. I think this will be our first quiet one in a long time. Erics family usually comes up, except when his mom has to work. This is one of those years when she will be working and Bob does not want to drive back up...he is taking the boys to a BYU football game the weekend before Thanksgiving. Here are a few pictures of Halloween. Abraham was a lion and a pumpkin (depending on what day) Kamren was a nerd, David was "just David", until Eric told him he could not go trick-or-treating if he didn't dress up, Robbie...a punk! He would make a cute girl! They all had fun!
We, the Larsens, are a family of seven. That seems like so many, and truth be told some times it feels like a lot!
It is hard to sumarize 7 people so if you are interested in learning more about each of us I will write a blog about each one of us!
Eric and I have four of the best boys a person could ask for and the most amazing little daughter. Our home is a crazy, loud, and fun filled one. We never have a dull moment, although I would not mind having one.
I have been surrounded by males, even our pets were male. We have a cat named Star andwe had a chocolate lab named Koda, who had 9 lives, and spent his last life in the fall of 2010 when he was hit by a truck. It was a sad day for us all. Lots of tears were shed. We now have a black female lab, who had 9 puppies right after we had BrynnLe! We also have 6 chickens and had a hamster. Pretty good for a person who does not like animals! Good thing all my boys do!
Robbie is our oldest son. He is named after his grand father, great grandfather and has his father's middle name. We love family names and hope that our boys grow up to bring joy to those whose names they carry.
Robbie is thirteen years old and is a huge helper. He loves to play with his brothers and has fun teasing them. He loves to read and is a great student. He likes scouts and works hard to earn all his awards. He is a natural athlete, his favorite sports are wrestling, football and snowboarding.
Robbie has a testimony of the Savior and he has a real tender heart. He likes attending church and reading the scriptures. He is a great big brother and we are blest to have him in our home.
Kamren Boyd Larsen
Kamren is our little ball of fire! He is named after his Papa Cardon, the name Kamren was the only name we liked with Boyd. And then Eric wanted to spell it different, so Kam will never find anything pre made that has his name on it!
He is almost eleven years old. He keeps us laughing, crying and questioning where he came from. He has so much energy and emotion for one little boy. He does not want to be left behind by his older brother, and he does a great job at keeping up with Robbie. Kamren loves to read, loves school more than I thought a kid could and loves sports. He loves wrestling, football, skiing, scouts and being with the family. He loves to play games and he is our little cuddle bug.
Kamren is very loving with his younger brothers. He likes to help mom in the kitchen...he loves to make treats! Kamren loves going to church and has a testimony of the Savior. He understands more than we realize and is always amazing me when he knows the answers to questions about the Gospel.
Kamren is the one who keeps our family smiling!
David Cardon Larsen
David
David is our seven year old. He is named after my older brother who passed away as a baby from SIDS.
I have to keep the last paragraphs, just because they make me laugh! David has such a tender heart. He is content to just be alone and loves to read and play with legos. He is a helper and loves his little sister more than I can write.
David loves to play baseball, is learning to ride his bike and loves to jump on the trampoline. He does like to cause some trouble and he does it quietly! He has lived up to his red hair! We sure love him.
(these are old, but good for me to remember)
He is so sweet and kind one minute and then the next he is a little terror. He loves to scream, and has a high pitched scream. We are working on getting him to stop! He loves to read books and could read for hours, if Ihad the time. He loves playing cars with his brothers and he adores Abraham.
He has a wonderful imagination and is a great talker. He loves to talk on the phone and he likes playing with his friends and cousins. He enjoys singing and making messes. He is a joy and we all love him so very much! I think he is a true red head! His favorite things are his blanket and his lightning McQueen Car. We sleep with both of them and carry them around all day!
Abraham Heath Larsen
ABE
Abraham is a joy and a light in our family. He is named after Araham Lincoln, a hero of Erics, and after his Great Grandpa Hill.
Abraham has been a challenge since he turned two! He is almost five now, and still has his moments when I think he is in the terrible twos! He is a spitfire and I am not sure what we are to learn from him, but I wish we would learn it!
He has had speech problems and is talking so much better now. He has had two years of speech therapy and will be in Kindergarten where he will continue to get the help he needs.
He is a cuddle bug one moment then a ball of fire the next. You never know when he will explode.
He is the true product of 3 older brothers who love to tease, torment and annoy! When he is focused on a task he doesn't give up. He is great on the trampoline, flips, backs and all sorts of tricks. he cannot wait till he can play football and wrestle. He is our baby boy and it is odd for me to think of him as a big boy!
(these are old, but I need them to remember that he was such a great baby!) He is such a good baby. I think we are blest with him after dealing with David! Abraham has always been a mellow baby. He sleeps good, takes naps, plays quietly and just enjoys life. He will not take a bottle and I would love for him to do so. I think he is showing us that he can control the situation! He is adored by all who see him and he loves to be talked to.
His brothers all love him and he lights up when David gives him hugs in the morning. Abraham is our peaceful little ray of sunshine.
BrynnLe
BrynnLe Larsen
Our little miss BrynnLe is a gift from Heaven. Not that all the boys aren't, but we wanted her for so long and it took her forever to get here. We always knew there was someone missing from our family, and she is finally here!
S
he is named after both my mom and Erics mom. My mom is Terri Le and Erics is LeeAnne, so we took the Le from them both. We let the boys come up with a name as long as it had a Le in the end! We all loved BrynnLe!
S
he was born on April 29th of 2013. She, that is still odd to type, was loved from the moment we knew she would be joining our family. The boys adore her. Eric and I are in awe of her. All that hold her know how special she is, you can feel it.
She loved to be held, talked to, read to and sung to. She loves walks. Loves, loves loves to be swaddled! She even loves her bath!
BrynnLe loves hair bows and having her toe and finger nails painted. She is our breath of fresh air after all those boys!
We look forward to what joys and excitement she will bring to our family.
BrynnLe was born with Down Syndrome.
