Family Pictures.....

As much of a pain as family pictures can be.... Its always a special treat when your happy with the end product!  My friend Mandy did our pictures and considering what she had to work with (snow, 1 defiant {almost} 2 year old, runny noses, a cold baby boy, cold sore, and a scratched up eye) she did a fantastic job!!  Thanks Mandy  http://mycherrytreephotos.blogspot.com/

 The way we looked in the pictures.....

 The way we actually felt..... both kids screaming!!!

  Last picture of the day (and the only one we could get with just the 2 kids) sweet!  You can tell just by looking at the hair-dos that it was a struggle! :)

Kisses

Had to share....

Last week found Ellie doing this...

She is obsessed with my makeup, lotion, hand sanitizer, chap stick, deodorant- basically anything she sees me do.  And check out this cute kid..... drooling up a storm!!

Trick or Treat

Halloween!  We had a blast hanging out over at the Proctors this year.  Ellie went trick or treating for the first time.... pretty sure she had no idea what was going on!  Her favorite part was handing out candy at the door to the other kids.

Dylan is 6 months!!

Can you believe he is already 6 months.... its going by much faster the second time around. Probably because we are a bit busier these days.  Here are some cute pics of Dylan at 6 months and other "Fall time" happenings.

Its hard to pick my favorite feature on DD... I love his eyes, and the perfectly kissy lips, but......

 I think he awesome hair takes the prize!  It doesn't matter what I do to it, it has a mind of its own.  I like to think of it as his signature look. :)

  Fall is my favorite time of year....  for obvious reasons.

 Train rides, hay rides, pumpkins, corn mazes, leaves..... love it all!

12 Temples in 1 day

So here is a shout out for Tom and what he is into..... motorcycles!!!  He shares this hobby with his Dad and recently they did a long {cold} ride to 12 utah temples in 1 day.  You might only appreciate this if you ride and you can imagine doing 575 miles in one day... at the end of October!  Brrrr!  My hubby and father in law are crazy like that.  So I played around with imovie trying to learn how to do it and made this video of their trip... check it out

So long summer!

Whoa.... its been a while.  I am so far behind I don't know where to start.... so I will begin with a quick wrap up of our summer.  First up our trip to Cali for Adam & Nicoles wedding.

A few of Ellie and Dylans Cousins- I cant believe how old they are getting

 This was the kids first time to the beach... Dylan mostly slept but Ellie had a great time playing in the sand, sitting in the water with Daddy and eating all Jaime's M&M's.

 Ellie and Lexi.....

 While we were there we celebrated my Mom's big 60!

And finally from the big event- AK & Nicoles wedding was a blast!  She was a beautiful bride & he a very handsome groom.  We almost had the whole family, we were missing the Nicki's husband Jeff and their kids.

There rest of our summer was filled with

Days at the park

 Tom hicked Timp- something he has been wanting to do for a long time.

 Thanksgiving point- Ellie love's all the animals there.

 Wearing cute summer dresses- one of my favorite parts of summer.

 Playing playing playing

 Going to the zoo with Grandma & Grandpa

Sad to see the good weather go.... but all in all it was a great summer!
