Family Pictures

My sister took our family pictures a month or so ago. I just LOVE the orchard where we took them! There were deer wandering around everywhere and the lighting there is beautiful. The kids were not very cooperative, so we didn't get too many great shots, but we got a few luckily. Here are a few of the many we took...












Soccer


I never got a chance to do a post about Ethan playing soccer. The season ended a few weeks ago, but here are a few pictures from the season...

Pumpkinland


I took the kids to a fun place called Pumpkinland. We met my sister-in-law, Mandi, there, and her 2 kids, Nick and Samantha. The boys had so much fun having their cousin Nick to run around with. We could barely keep up with them in the corn maze. They also had a spook ally, animals to see, a pumpkin patch, blow up slides, swing sets, and all sorts of fun things to climb on. So fun!

The Alpine Loop in the Fall

The boys on a bridge at Sundance




A couple weeks ago my mom and I took the kids on a drive through the Alpine Loop. The mountains were SO BEAUTIFUL with the changing colors of the leaves. The boys had a great time collecting leaves and running around. We even saw 2 moose! As we were coming down the mountain, almost to Sundance, we saw them on the side of the rode. We stopped to watch them and they walked right in front of our car, across the road.

11 Months





This is a bit late, but a virus seriously messed up our computer this month, and I was unable to use the internet til now.

At 11 months, Kylee:
-Still won't crawl or walk! She occasionally will crawl for a foot or two, but then immediately decides she'd rather roll around. Despite not crawling or walking, she gets around everywhere very quickly by rolling and scooting around.
-Is starting to drink whole milk, and loving it
-Has a huge appetite and will eat ANY food you give her, she is not picky at all. I love that.
-FINALLY sleeping through the night again. Ever since she was hospitalized for RSV, her night time sleeping habits have been pretty messed up. It took a few nights of crying, but we are all finally sleeping better.
-Likes to babble. She says mama, dada, and will say "baaa" when she sees me running water for a bath.
-This baby LOVES her feet, more than any other baby I've ever seen. She picks stuff up with them, using them to play with toys, props them on everything, plays with them, etc. It is so funny to watch.

Cornbellys


I took the kids to Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday. They've added a bunch more stuff to do this year, and we had lots of fun. We didn't do the corn maze (who wants to get lost for hours in a corn maze with 3 whiney kids in the 90 degree heat?), but the boys went on all the slides, rode the "grain train" through the corn fields, rode the "cow train", watched the chicken show, played in the castle, played in a room filled with pieces of corn, and more. So fun!
