18 Months!

I have been trying to get pictures of this kiddo for a little while, and maybe I will. But until then, I need to do an update on this cute kid!!!! He turned 18 months!!!! With a new haircut and being an official member of nursery included. He has grown so much this month it has been crazy. His vocabulary has exploded. He says and tries to say so many words, including: "down" "out" "up" "DADA!!!!" "BAW" (ball) "Bi" (bike) "Side" (outside) "achu" (pikachu) "DAW" (dog) "Mow" (Meow) "MA'MAW" (Grandma) "Na-Nigh" (Night night)"OW" "Duh-Die" (buh-bye) "wing" (swing) "mun" (run) "Nose" "eyes" "ears""Nack" (snack) "Cheese" and more. He is such a happy guy with the biggest smile. He gives the BEST hugs and is such a sweet little guy. He is obsessed with his wiggle car and cries every time we get in the car because he wants to ride. He is the same with just being outside. He has recently weened himself off a binky. He would put it in the side of his mouth to talk and he would throw it EVERYWHERE. We could not even keep it because how much he just threw it and wouldn't keep it in. We lost them everywhere and he had to go to bed several nights without it and did fine and eventually I could not even put it in at bed. He would just throw it back at me as I headed out the door. Soooooo as much as I tried to keep it for a little while longer, he is now binky free. He went in for a checkup and he was lucky enough to not get any shots. He is growing up fast and we sure love our Nater Bug!!!!

Back Island Farms FHE

For FHE and to start off the fall season, we went to Black Island Farms. It was the perfect day to go. Early enough in the season that there were barely anyone there. The kids had the rides to themselves, no lines, and got picked for the races since there were very few to choose from. Zack's pig won the race, so he got a pig nose. After some playing, the train ride, the corn maze, the pig and rooster races, we watched the Magician. The kids were so into it that we passed on doing the wagon ride to get our pumpkins till later. They loved it, and it was a great time with just our family!!!


























It's a BOY!!!!

I am 19 weeks now and have been trying to get a fun picture of my kiddos and can't seem to find much time to get creative. So, at around 17 weeks we went in and found out we were having another BOY! Makayla was surprisingly SOOOOO excited. A few weeks ago her little friend at church got a baby boy and she has been adamant that ours is a boy too. Welp, she was right! We picked up some blue balloons and baggies full of blue candies and stuck them on the kids seats when we picked them up from school. Levi flat our said,"Dang it." It was too funny. He was on team girl, but he is SO excited to see this baby. Especially after meeting baby Jett!!!! Zack was jumping for joy because he got his boy. Nate will have his little buddy and we are all just so excited for the new addition and already can't imagine our family without him! Now for the awful part of coming up with a 4th boy name!!!!!!!








Rest of September early October Catchup

I find it hard to get on the computer these days, so our updates may be more monthly. But, it will be like 5 really LONG posts! Ha! 
There is a new aquarium coming to our mall and we are so excited to check it out. We got a steal of a deal on a year pass so we will be checking that out soon!
Levi was invited to a birthday party at Dartside. It was a ton of fun for him and some of his soccer friends.
I get to spend more time with these two without Kindergarten pickup this year. It has been fun to go for walks, play outside, and play.
My snuggle buddy for about a month made 6am his wakeup time.....yuck
We have had quite a bit of rain, which caused its own problems, but we sure have loved all the rainbows!

Goofy girl
School Pictures!!!!

Reading to their sister before bed. My favorite time of the day! With daddy gone 2 nights a week these boys are sure my helpers at bedtime!
Our tree did pretty good this year!
We have graduated to 2 shopping carts at the store! No fighting when the get their own seat and ice cream!

Trains down the slide at Levi's soccer game
These 2 are such good buddies spending most of the day together. They are so dang cute!

There was a tornado in Ogden that knocked out our power one night. Dan was at school and it made for an interesting night trying to cook dinner and get kids ready for bed in the dark. Not to mention the inability to practice piano, do their homework, or even use my phone since it was near dead.
Friday movie day!
Our dan roof leaked and ruined out floor. Not exactly what we were hoping for right now with Dan in school....boo. I guess I'll have to get used to plywood flooring.

Playing at the park after soccer games and waiting for Levi to finish up at a birthday party at Get Air.



Tiny tumbler LOVES her tumbling!!!
We ran down last Tuesday to meet new baby Jett in between tumbling and school pickup. It was so fun to see him and Makayla was in Love!!!!!

More pretty sunsets as of lately!


One Friday, on the last day of the month, we needed to get our car registered. Obviously we like to wait for the last second!!! Well, the kids all got suckers, popcorn, they gave me and Kayla carnations, and each kid got to bring home a pumpkin. I think we will go there every year!!!!
We set up some Halloween decorations!
Levi had a soccer party at Boondocks since they got some free tickets from a tournament they played in. Zack joined us and they ran around like crazy boys for 3 hours one night.
Conference Bingo at Grandma and Grampas!
Meeting Baby Jett

Levi is a hoarder.
Kayla and her dollar store bag and her love of arts and crafts lately.
She mastered the back bend. She is the second smallest in her class, and the only one able to do a backbend by herself. She was pretty stinking proud showing her 2 teachers!
SOOOOO tired she fell asleep on me....this NEVER happens.

Her picture of daddy:)
This site just made me laugh. He must get better practicing in his underpants.
These two. I just love them!
