October Fun!

We did some really fun things this October as a family. For Family night we took the kids to Stahli Farms to do the pumkin patch and corn maze.






We went to a really fun party at the park.

We carved pumkins




Kylee ran in the pumkin run at school (zoey didn't want to run she said she already had a pumkin so she didn't need one)


For Halloween we decided to head up to Salt Lake to spend some time with Rob, Jen and the kids and boy did we have a blast. Jens neighborhood was great to trick or treat in. The kids got tons of candy witch included a couple of full size candy bars and a soda pop.

Kylee's First Date!

Last weekend Shawn took Kylee on her first date to a 50's dance that was put on by the activity day girls and there wonderful leaders. They had such a good time and talked about it for days.
As one the activities prior to the dance Kylee, with the help of her leaders made that cute poodle skirt to wear.
Don't they look so cute!!

My sweet baby turns ONE!

It is so hard for me to believe that Anni is already one year old. I took her to the doctor the other day and she weight 23 pounds and is 31 inches tall. (Yes she is a big girl). She is in the 85 percentile in her weight and 95 percent in her height. She reminds Shawn and I a lot of Kylee when she was a baby.
We had a little Birthday party for her on the 23rd with all of her cousins. She had so much fun. She absolutely loved her cupcake and surprised me with her ability to open presents.

Sophie's Turn.....

"Is it time to go yet?" is all we have heard out of Sophie's mouth since Kylee and Zoey started school a week ago. Finally on Monday she started preshcool at the Sunshine Academy with Mrs.Janeece as her teacher. She was a little nervous when it came time for me to leave her. As most of you know she is a little attached to her mother, but she was brave and didn't cry. This morning she got up with her sisters, got ready for school, and was ready to leave an hour and a half before school started so I think the fear has tured into excitement!

Back To School

The 2009/2010 School year has finally begain and everybody was so excited(including mom.)
This year Kylee started the 4th grade and her teacher is Mr. Tait.

Zoey enterted the 1st grade and her teacher is Mrs. Munford. There were no tears this year which was a big accomplishment.

I think it helped that she had her best friend Jordan in the same class.

Back in Action

Last weekend my family went out with friends to Coral Pink sand dunes. We had lots of fun until the wind started blowing. (For those of you who haven't had the experience of being at the sand dunes during a sand storm you are totally missing out) I'm still finding sand in places it shouldn't be.

Anni wishing she could go outside to play.

Shawn giving her what she wants

The kids have tons of fun digging in the sand

My baby is growing up to fast

It is really hard for me to believe that Anni is 6 months old where does time go? When we took her to her well baby check up she weighted in at a healthy 17lbs 13 ozs and is 27.5 inches long. Tall and chubby just the way we like it. I love this girl so much there is not a day that goes by that I thank my heavenly father for letting me raise this beautiful girl. She brings so much joy to our home and makes our family complete.

Some of her milestones up to this point are:

* Holds her own bottle

* Rolls from front to back

* Sits up

* Gives the best open mouth kisses(sometimes with tongue)

* Has a pretty good nap schedule

* So far eats rice cereal, bananas, applesauce, pears, and sweet potatoes

*Got her ears pierced
First time taking a nap in her crib

Her first time eating sweet potatoes

First time eating rice cereal. You can tell by the look on her face she didn't like it.
