*Five Stars*

If you do one Christmas activity around town this year...
It has fun crafts for the kids, a cute puppet show, an elf village, Father Christmas, an amazing live nativity, and more! The kids didn't want to leave and we had been there for two hours! We will probably hit it up one more time this season since we didn't quite get to everything.

We've made it...

8 Weeks!

We don't go for her 2 month check up until next week but I had a chance to put a post up now.
I took Lydia in last week to get some eye drops to treat some conjunctivitis and at that point she weighed 10 lbs. 5 oz.! I couldn't believe it.

She is a very sweet girl and is a good sleeper most of the time. We have her reflux pretty well controlled, but acute flare ups still give her grief. I am going to start watching my diet to see if I can't help keep things a bit calmer for her as well.


She has the best smile in the world!
(that I can't ever seem to catch on camera).


This is our boy who one minute is the super hero and the next minute the villain.
I suppose for the most part he is a normal 3 year old boy but he sure does like to give me a run for my money on my patience... He sure is handsome.

My 3 kids

A picture with all three of the kids that I took last week. I am trying to get back in the habit of taking pictures. My poor baby has next to no pictures of her and we still have yet to take a picture with all five of us in it.

Trick or Treating

With my family in town for the blessing, we got to celebrate Halloween together!

Batman & Aurora

James went as Superman to the Trunk or Treat earlier in the week

Our little pumpkin

My little niece was a super cute high stylin' bunny

These three have been affectionately known as "the little kids" for 15 years.
They aren't so little anymore but my youngest siblings celebrated with a ton of spirit!
Hillary was a vampire... not so much twilight but more vintage.
Cameron was a scientist... (not pictured his sandals with socks).
Logan was an ipod dancer... not pictured his chicken legs in sweet stretchy pants.

Lydia's Blessing Day

We blessed Lydia on Sunday. My family made it out despite the major snow storm that hit Wyoming and Colorado. It took a couple tries and 10 hours on icy roads with major winds, but they made it. My baby girl looked so pretty and her daddy did a great job with the blessing.
