Fun October!!

We had such a fun Halloween this year. Let's just say the kids both get trick-or-treating! They were so cute. Alyvia had a great time at her pre-school party and some how our little blonde made a great Dorothy. Camdyn was right by her side as the cowardly lion, although I wouldn't say he's intimidated by much.


Carving pumpkins was slimy as usual. Brady made a killer wolf pumpkin!



Alyvia and I ran in the Great Pumpkin Race this year. This was Alyvia's first race and Uncle Landon ran along side of her while she ran 1/4 mile. We were so proud of her. She was pretty excited to get her ribbon at the end! I ran with our friends Steve and Emily and really had a good time. I think we'll make it a tradition!!




We went to Ketchum with Landon and Emily to see all the Fall colors and go to the Basque festival. It was really cool!!


We had apples coming out of our ears this month. I bottled pie filling with a friend and did apple sauce with my sister. The kids had fun helping. They actually really did help, it was fun!

Super September Highlights!! Texas & More!

Dinner Cruise in Hagerman with Steve & Emily. (Highly recommended) Helps to be with great company!




Sock Monkeys....Gotta love 'em! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a group shot of all the monkeys!



Twin Falls County Fair & Rodeo!



Alyvia's first day of pre-school. Kind of a sad picture huh. She has just loved going to pre-school and is learning so much. It's pretty fun that we get to walk every day!


Our friends Steve and Emily's new baby Sage.


Camping in the back yard with the Batemans! Why have we not figured this out before now?!




Our Texas Trip!! Just a few highlights!

Spending time with Chad & Tay and their family was so great it's not something we get to do every day and sometimes every year. Getting to pick Parker up for school was a highlight for Brady because he got to hold the little sign and make fun of the lady with the mega phone. Our kids got some quality time with both Grandparents while we were gone and we appreciate them so much for keeping them!!




Here's a lizard we found in one of their bushes.

Here are Chad and Tay's cute boys; Parker, Talmage, & Cannon playing in the spray park down town Woodlands. That night we enjoyed the best milk shakes ever and checked out down town right where Chad works. What an amazing place.




This was at the Kema boardwalk near Houston. Here we rode the scariest roller coaster of my life! I love roller coasters, but this one took the cake. We also got to pet and feed the sting rays. It took Tay and I a few tries, something about it was kinda freaky!





The Friday we were there we got an super great dinner appointment with a very special Elder. My Bro!!! A few weeks before we left, Brady emailed Brian's mission president to let him know we'd be right there visiting family. He asked if we would like to take him to dinner. Crazy!! He's been out a year, but it felt like we'd just seen him a week ago. We had such a great evening with him, his companion and Sister and Whitney Sinclair (some friends of their's) He's so lucky to have such an awesome companion! I sure hope the next year goes just as fast.



The day before we headed home, we took in a Texas A&M Game. What a blast!! This was no ordinary college football game. Brady was right....You have to see it to believe it!!

Time with my sister......I'm still laughing!!!!

Anna and I took off a couple of weekends ago with the plans to go shopping and to the Josh Groban concert. The concert happened, but our day plans changed. Lagoon was calling our name!! Forget the shopping!! A day at Lagoon without strollers or anthing or anyone to keep track of sounded like alot more fun. So we just about wet our pants on the sky coaster, then were amazed at the Josh Groban concert. What a blast!!! Thanks for the great weekend Anna!

Drum Roll Please!!!!!

We are excited to inform everyone that we have a CPA on our hands!!!! Brady got news just today that, after a long drawn out process of studying and studying some more he passed his final CPA exam. He's now a certified public accountant!! He called me this morning just as I had finished up my makeup. So I just had to turn around and do it all over again, after I balled like a baby. We are so crazy proud of you Brady. We love you!!! Way to go!!!!

A Year Already!!!

Well, Camdyn had his one year birthday on the 6th of June. Crazy how it all happens so fast. He's such an enjoyable little guy. The top picture is of him enjoying his new birthday swing. Here are a few things we love about Camdyn.

*He weighs only 5 pounds less than his older sister. (Cutest little chunky monkey)

*He has the best cheeser grin!

*He now sleeps through the night! Halaluia!

*He looks like his Daddy.

*He yells during church. He's not mad just loud.

Camdaroo what would we do without you?!!!!!

Alyvia's Birthday!!

I can't believe our little blonde is four!!! She just keeps getting funner and funner!
Alyvia'n new bike! Yes it is buzz light year, but she's crazy about it! With a few girlie accesories we were able to dodge the pink princess bike.
Dinner at Garibaldi's. Alyvia got the royal treatment!
