St George with Andy & Ari

We had such a great time with Andy and Ari last year in St George and we were thrilled when they invited us again. We had to make some date adjustments due to busy schedules but we were thrilled we found a date. We did the children's museum, ate yummy food, went hiking, swimming, and I decided to take the girls to When You Wish at Tuachan. We tried a taco ice cream place that was amazing. It was all so fun. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition.

Fall Family Pictures

These are the pictures that Matt and Maddi took. I insisted on doing it earlier in the day which made the lighting difficult but we got some great ones regardless.

Emery 4 years 5 months

Gracie 7 years 9 months

Hallie 10 years and a week

I missed out on getting a picture of me with all the kids last photo shoot and Matt definitely made up for it. I love this picture

This picture is in front of our new lot on Summit Cove. I wanted a before and an after picture

Conference Weekend

Our conference weekend was pretty low key. We listen/watched conference and Maddi joined us for the weekend. We made cinnamon rolls and conference cakes. On Sunday morning we went to take some family pictures with the beautiful fall leaves. 

The girls have had their ear pierced for about 6 weeks and they got these weird hematoma like things that were oozing. We took them to the dr to find they were infected. A few days later at home we drained a bunch of puss from both girls ears. I am so glad we waited until they were older to pierce them because they have been a huge pain in the butt.

Liam 10 Months

Oh my gosh! When I saw him standing up to the couch I wanted to knock him down. How is this happening? How is he growing so fast? And isn't he so dang cute?! He is doing great eating table food and still loves bottles but only when it's his idea.

While packing the garage we were looking for a way to contain him and this little pool was just what we needed. He loved playing with the pipes and eating snacks in his own little play space.

This little guy is getting teeth so much faster than his sisters. He currently has 5-6 that we can see but he isn't really cooperative in letting us see them either.

He has really started liking playing with the girls and likes playing with pretty much everything that isn't an actual toy. Like this balloon with confetti in it. Endless hours of enjoyment and he has also figured out how to stand up to the french doors and watch out. 

His cute little blonde hair is filling in. He is really loving touch and feel books and we have found some that are easily wipe able. 

We sure love this little buddy and all the joy he brings into our family.
