It has been SO long since I updated my blog I was so surprised how big my baby girl had grown since I left off! This is when she was just learning to sit up!
I got a coupon in the mail for a really great deal on a kids hair cut, so Lily & I went together she LOVED the experience. She looked and felt to pretty.
Brad & 2 of my best friends Erika (in the middle) and Julie (on the right), completed a team triathlon this summer & took 1st place. They were so AWESOME. Julie swam, Brad biked & Erika ran. It was an amazing race, it was fun to cheer on some of my favorite people.
We took a lot of trips to Rigby Lake this summer
We also went to Freeman Park a lot, there is a little stream the kids play in
This is a pic of Eddie riding the rides in Payson UT. We always go to Payson for Labor Day because we always have so much fun. There is a parade, carnival, dutch oven cook off with Brad's cousins & visiting Brad's Grandma & Grandpa. We are all so thankful we went down & spent that time with Grandma, she passed away the following month. Grandma Della was one of the kindest most loving people I have ever met, we are all going to miss her and her beautiful smile.
Ethan & Lily riding the cars ride... I think Ethan might be a bit big for that car

Lily wanted a lady bug, but was ok with the dragon

Lily loves to use her "Pretties" to fix hair. For a while she was having a melt down everyday because she wanted to wear ALL her pretties everyday. We now have it narrowed down to 3 pretties a day.
Lily has started Ballet with all her friends. My friend Brita who lives 3 houses down has started the class. Lily LOVES this and dances around the hose all day.
Mira pulling her self up to standing in her crib, she is such a big girl!
Mira loves the swing outside
Sometimes when Lily is tired but I can't get her to take a nap, this is where I find her, sleeping under her fitted sheet
When Mira started crawling, she would go in reverse. One day I heard her screaming & couldn't see her anywhere. I found her under the couch, the flap of fabric around the bottom of the couch had covered her completely. The silly girl scared both of us
Brad planned a conference for the American Planning Association to come to Idaho Falls, as their thank you to him he was offered the Presidential Suite in the Hotel they reserved for all their guests to stay in. We took the kids the first night they loved it. We were on the top floor with a amazing view of the city & falls. We rented "The Croods" bought some hamburgers & let the kids swim in the jetted tub. They thought this was the most amazing experience of their lives. The room was really amazing. We all had a great time. The 2nd night the kids stayed at grandmas & Brad & I got to stay at the hotel. Below is a pic of the kids watching the movie & kind of eating dinner
The view from our window, the lights were beautiful at night
This was part of our room, the door to the left is another big room and then there was the bathroom that was as big as a room. There was a couch/hide a bed on the left the kids slept on.
Our happy baby girl pulling her self up on everything
Ethan at pack meeting receiving his wolf badge, what a cute little boy scout, his friend Andy also got his award that night
This is Lily's swim tube, Mira loves to sit in it.
Mira is such a mess maker!!! This is our recycling box. She also empties her dresser drawers, the kitchen drawers & cabinets, her toy box & anything else she can reach like a little tornado
Mira's 1st pumpkin
Getting our pumpkins ready. When the boys were Lily's age I don't think they liked to touch the goop. Lily was having so much fun with her goop she didn't want to finish her pumpkin.
For Etha's Birthday got new church shoes & a watch from Grandma & Grandpa & a new bike from mom & dad. I can't believe he is 9!
Ethan & his German Chocolate birthday cake

Ready to trick or treat! Ethan was also a ninja
Mira found a sucker in Lily's candy bag, it took her most of the nigh to finish it. Such a happy girl
Pretty girl ready for church
We had a family reunion in Boise with Brad's parents & siblings. The boys went to a corvette show! We also had Lunch at Tacoano's, I don't know if I spelled that right but it is a Brazilian restaurant and was delicious! The next day everyone played bingo & won some fun prizes. It was a fun weekend.
The annual City picnic for employees & their families is always a lot of fun. The kids love the rides. Brad & the girls on the carousel
Brad & lily on the farris wheel
Every year in Aug is the Snake River roaring youth jam. This is an even put on by the Idaho Falls art council, there are free crafts set up all along the river. My kids love it because they get to paint & make a big mess of things & themselves & its ok!
