It has been a while since I have added anything to our blog so today I have a few new blog entries.




Daddy has taught her how to bonk heads. She thinks that it is hilarious.






Whenever I do the girls hair Rylee likes to "drink" the water out of the water bottle.








Yesterday I came out of my bedroom to see Rylee laying on the table with her feet up coloring a picture.






When Blake was digging out the christmas things he found the 18 month clothes and pulled them out. I remember Paige in this out fit at 18 months. The only difference is that Paige fit into it a lot better than Rylee does right now.







This little outfit is actually one that my little sister Brooke wore when she was little. I love it cause the fabric sticks out in the back and makes them look like they have a little "duck bum".

Mass Candy consumption

On Friday Brandi had Kristen and I and our kiddos over to make gingerbread houses. I think that there was more candy that got consumed than actually put on the houses but the kids had so much fun. Rylee even helped put some M&Ms on the roof of her house! We have such wonderful friends here that come up with the cutest ideas. Thanks Brandi.




























This was the end result. I think that they turned out really cute!

Breakfast at Sally's

On Tuesday morning our good friend Sally had some of the law student wifes over for a french toast breakfast. It was really fun and yummy! After breakfast we took the kids outside to play in the leaves. It is a good thing we did that because the next day it was really cold and has been since then, so I think that was our last nice day for a while.
In the picture of the 4 girls there is Sally Kristen, Brandi, and myself.
Thanks Sally for the fun morning.

Hillarious!!!

Sunday Afternoon Stroll

Since we had our Stake conference this morning we had some time this afternoon, after naps, to go for a walk on the Shunga Trail. We had so much fun. We took both the strollers but didn't need either of them. I think Rylee was in hers for a total of 10 minutes and Paige sat in hers for about 2 minutes. We had so much fun playing in the leaves and taking fun pictures. Blake's sister is doing a family calender for us for next year and needs pictures of all of us we thought that this would be a good time to take some to send to her since it isn't often that we get to be all together at a beautiful place. It was very nice out today at 61 degrees. As we were walking we kept saying I Love This. This is what you see in the movies. This is what everyone wants. We are truly blessed.

Wunder Bar

When Lauren came down to see us she was nice enough to bring us some wonderful Canadian chocolate that is so much better than the waxy crap that they sell down here. So Blake introduced Rylee to her first taste of a wonder bar today.

Lauren and Angela came to see us

My cousin Lauren and her friend Angela came and saw us this last Thursday and Friday. The girls and I went to Kansas City to pick them up from the airport. The girls loved being able to go watch the airplane come in. We then came back and talked for a while. The next day we took them to the governor's mansion and walked around a bit. It was a lot of fun to be able to have some family here.








Lauren kept lifting them up to grab the leaves off and they loved it.




I tried to get a good picture of the two of them walking but they didn't really cooperate. Rylee won't let Paige hold her hand and then Paige wanted to run ahead of her, so this is the cutest one I could get.

I love this picture of the girls playing in the leaves.

Cousin IT

Rylee woke up from her nap and wanted to sit on the counter while I did the dishes. She grabbed the camera and wanted to take a picture of her. So here is her cousin IT picture. Then we thought we would take an "after" picture. If you click on the pictures you can see them bigger and they are better.

Blue-Eyed Beauty

I just love the way that Rylee looks in this picture. She is sitting on our bed after church in the outfit that Kalli gave her. She loves the book that she is reading, it is a nursery rhyme book.
