The kids looked super cute for Halloween. The trunk or treat was great, except Mia didn't enjoy it too much, she pretty much cried the whole time.  But the older two had a blast.  Halloween night, again Mia was tired and fussy so I stayed home and the kids went out with dad and played wit friend at a block party. 

cousins are the best!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a great weekend with Devin's family.  Christa and her family stayed a couple days after Mia's blessing (still need to blog about that) and we got to hang out with them.  These are pictures from the zoo, and a random one of Grandpa Ben with the cousins from Wesley's baptism. (another post I want to catch up on later)

more random happenings

Dad's bday dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  He loves his little girls.

 

Aunt Tanni loves being the best Aunt in the world.

 

 

being home all day with Rylie, I get to take lots of pictures of her.  I love her sense of style, she loves to dress herself.

Visiting GG.  We had a great time.  We love her so much.

Yes, I took a selfie. but that's why I blog so I can post my "selfie" pictures.  I loved my scarf that my mom and Tannis gave me.

Rylie insisted I take this picture of her princess that she named Sweetie.

my little ballerina.

Rylie's BFF McKayla.  They just moved into the ward, Rylie will miss her so much. 

some happenings

Devin got a tent for his b-day, he camped out with the kids a couple times in the backyard..they loved it, despite what Rylie's face looks like she loved it the most!

after

I got a new haircut too!

Took the whole family to the dentist.  No cavities!!  Rylie freaked out and Ezra did great. 

these two are crazy!

Gilbert Temple. So pretty, so excited for the open house.

conference weekend

My Conference Board, I loved it and the kids did too.

stringing Temples while listening to talks.

 

to top off our Conference weekend, in-between sessions we canned 20lbs of chicken with the Paynes.  We are so blessed to have them as friends.  Corynn has taught me to be a better homemaker.  I will probably have to dedicate a whole post on how awesome she is after we move, because I will miss her so much.  

 

 

and when the kids weren't being entertained and listening there were destroying toy rooms!

We loved spending Conference weekend with the Paynes.  And because of the government shutdown the boys didn't' have drill that weekend so we actually got to enjoy it with the men, which we normally don't b/c of drill.   One of my favorite things of the weekend was when talking about salmonella and the chicken Corynn confessed that she is terrified of it, but when I asked if she ate cookie dough her response was "oh, well yeah that's totally worth it"  So apparently if you are going to get it, get it while eating raw cookie dough :) 

2 months old!

 

I can't believe that Mia is almost 3 months old!  I don't want to forget things about 2 months.
Mia loves to sleep a lot still, which I don't mind :)  She is a such a happy baby.  She smiles and coos and is very serious and observant.  When she smiles it takes up her whole face, it melts my heart.  At about 6 weeks she started rolling from her tummy to her back. I told the doctor this at the 2 month appointment and she didn't believe me, but Mia showed Dr. Lipp just how strong she is and impressed her.  She was just shy of 12lbs and 23inches.  She seriously is so strong, always trying to stand up and always wanting to look up and keep her head strong.  She loves to be rocked and loves "If the Savior stood beside me" and "A Child's Prayer"
Love her!
