My Birthday Boy!

My big boy turned 3 on Saturday and through him a Pirate Party. We had all cousins and friends over to join the fun. We had coloring, playtime, a scavenger hunt, presents, and cake. Isaac talked about his birthday at least a month in advance. He asked everyday if it was his birthday and of course I always had to let him down gently. He got everything a little boy could dream of on his birthday. I just can' get over how big my little man is!

Scooter from Aunt Hailey and Aunt Amelia! He has been driving it around the house everywhere he needs to go! Oh and can't forget his super tricks on it  too!

I thought this picture was priceless. He couldn't stop smiling when the cake came out and everyone was singing Happy Birthday so loud to him!

Cute Boys!

Most of the gang!

Oh and I was so excited about my decorations. I made these cute pirate flags to hang around the room! Isaac is actually still enjoying them because I can't reach them to get them down, lol!

Fall

This is absolutely my favorite time of year. Especially here in Utah. I love having a cool, sunny day and seeing all the leaves turn color. And of course my favorite holiday being Halloween. We went out to our favorite pumpkin patch and picked out all our pumpkins this past weekend. Isaac sat on every tractor and we went on a hay ride. We are looking forward to Halloween and can't wait. This is the only time of year when I let myself splurge on all the chocolate. Gotta Love it!

Oregon Trip

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go back to Gresham for a family/friend wedding. We debated driving the long drive but in the end decided to fly with tickets cheap and not having to deal with a potty trained 2 year old and a 8 week old little girl. We got there Sept 23rd and stayed a full week. Of course the first 3days were strictly wedding events and organizing but got to enjoy a little bit of family time with each of my parents. We stayed with my dad...which was so gratefully appreciated. It worked out so well with two kids. I bet they were screaming for joy when we finally left to get their peace and quiet back. We were lucky enough to be there for two great events. Our good friends Jay and Heather had their darling little boy Oscar on Friday and it was so much fun to see them with the new addition. Isaac got some good playtime with Gwen and Sawyer. He couldn't stop talking about Sawyer after we got home and playing mailman. The Sunday we were there was my dad's birthday so we celebrated with dinner and a movie. Thanks to Page and Wes being there for the wedding also, they tended the kids for us. It's been along time since we've seen a movie just the two of us. We also got to spend time with my dad and his fiance Susan..we are excited for her to be part of the family! We love visiting back home and seeing all the familiar faces, especially on Sundays when we get to go to church with my mom. It was a great trip and had a lot of fun with everyone!














Of course can't forget an update on Brooke. 11 weeks this week and she's my chunky little girly!

Brooklyn's Blessing

At the beginning of September we had the opportunity to bless Brooklyn in our ward. It was such a perfect day, I couldn't have asked for anything better. We are so grateful for all the family and friends involved in Brooklyn's special day. We love you all!
