Trunk or Treat

I know everyone is shocked that I have posted twice in one day! Amazing I know, but we are getting into that time of year where there is A LOT going on with stuff that I will want to post (since this is about the extent of scapbooking my memories:)) So I thought I better keep up with it. On Wednesday the YM/YW in our ward did truck or treat for all of the primary kids. The kids were excited to get their costumes out and get some candy. Katie was a little unsure about the tutu, but she had fun anyway!
The last week in October is always a super busy week for us. We have Brynlee and Jason's birthday, my mom's fun Halloween party, and of course trick or treating. This year we have to add in Brynlee's birthday party, her special day at school, and her Halloween Carnival at school. I hope everyone has a great Halloween week! It is the beginning of so many fun holidays!!! Let the festivities begin!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday Jason & I took the family to a pumpkin patch in Syracuse. It was really fun except that it turned out to be like a million degrees. I think the kids favorite part was all of the slides.
They got to shoot corn cannons, ride a train, watch the pig races, and of course go through the corn maze! And then of course there was picking the pumpkins and coming home to carve them. It was a great day!

Junior Silverline, 6-month check-up, & 7 Years of bliss! Yahoo!!!

Brynlee got to dance at the Fremont football game a couple weeks ago with the Junior Silverline. She was so cute and did so well! She isn't as coordinated as she seems to think she is, but she had a ball.Katie turned 6 months in the middle of September. She is at such a fun age! She is crawling all over the place (army style...she can't seem to get those knees up) and is sitting up all by herself. She is eating solids now. She talks all day long and my favorite part of the day is right before she goes to bed at night because she thinks EVERYTHING is funny and laughs and giggles at everything we do. We sure love that girl! I know it is not the best picture, but it is the most recent. Plus I love her big eyes and her perfect little lips in it! She weighs 16lbs 15oz (75%) and is 27 1/2ins long (97%). As Brynlee would put it, she is "growing like a weed!"I have been so lucky to be married to this wonderful man for 7 years!!! (Lovely picture, huh? He never lets me take pictures of him, so this is what I have.) Last Sunday was our anniversary. We didn't do much since it was on a Sunday, but we did head down to SLC and Park City for a weekend 3 weeks ago for some relaxing and shopping :). I love this man and all he does for our little family. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us!

First day of school!

Bryn had her first day of school yesterday. She was so cute! I was asking her all weekend if she was nervous and she kept telling me no. On the way to school, she had a nervous look on her face and I asked what was wrong, and she said "I am really, really, really excited for school, but I am so shy." HAHA! So cute. She looked so cute hanging up her backpack and sitting at her desk. I asked her some questions and this is what she said:
What was your favorite part of school? Playing with Oaklie (her best friend) on the playground and drawing a picture.
What was the worst part of school? The slide was way too hot to go down and I was hungry. (I told her that if she didn't finish her lunch that she was going to get hungry, but she didn't listen! Now she knows!)
What did you think of the boys in you class? Nothing, they were too small (I assume that means short) or to fat. (Which is funny because all the little boys in her class were adorable!)
She can not wait to go again today! This year is going to be a blast. I am so glad that I finally get to stay home so I can go volunteer!!!

Hey all! I don't know why I haven't been keeping up on my blog. I could say that I am really, really busy, but that would be a huge lie! So there is really no excuse. I thought I would give a little update on how life is going and then hopefully stay on top of the blog.
Brynlee is starting Kindergarten on Monday! Yahoo! I know lots of moms get all sappy about their kiddos leaving for school, but I am not one of those moms. I can not wait! She is totally ready for it. She has been in daycare most of her life, so since I have been able to stay home, her life has come to a stop. I think she is in need of the social interaction. Plus, the fighting between her and Skylar is killing me, so I can't wait for that 3 hour break every day! We met her teacher this week and she is so nice. Brynlee has 3 little girls from the ward in her class, and her best friend, so she is pretty pumped!
Now, I would love to report that since Sky has turned 3 that he sleeps in his bed all night long. But I can't, since he doesn't. I seriously think I need to take that kid to a specialist. He is totally potty trained now. It worked out well because I didn't push him and just put unders on him one day and he has done well. He even wears them to bed! He is still my challenge in everything, but so cute at the same time! He is definitely a mama's boy. (Which is ok with me. And totally like Jason, who is also a mama's boy! :))
And then there is Katie. What can I say? She is the perfect baby. She now rolls EVERYWHERE! She is eating solids and loves them! She takes 3 naps a day and still sleeps 7 or 8 hour straight at night. She loves the bumboo and the jumperoo. She smiles at everyone. She is still nursing and I love it! Her only flaw is that she can't seem to keep poop in her diaper. It ALWAYS somehow comes out the back. It is almost a daily occurrence. Any suggestions on how to fix that would be very helpful!
Jason and I are glad to be back in Utah. Jason is in school at Weber State. Life is going great, thanks to our wonderful families!

3 Months!

Katie also had a 3 month birthday this weekend. She is so fun and is growing up so much! She loves the Bumbo and cries when I take her out. So funny!
