November 2016

November is always a busy one of celebrations. I'll tell you though, Milo isn't celebrating that Tad is now mobile.

These two...

And these two...

We celebrated Logan's birthday, then Carli's, then Milo's.

And we tried the obligatory family photos on our own this year. The only way we got one that worked was thanks to a passing photographer riding her bike.

Also, the ward talent show was a hit as always. Carli and I played a duet on the piano and Logan got a band together to play Mumford and Sons Winter Winds. We always have a great time preparing for and performing at the talent show.

October 2016

6 months! 

Hopefully this is not foreshadowing anything... Milo loved seeing all the different vehicles at this complex activity.

We got an early Christmas present when flights were extra cheap to Oregon. It was so nice and relaxing to visit Grammie and Papa. 

The girls loved playing with Grammie's dress-ups.

Papa planned and helped Carli build an owl house. She loved the time with him at the farm.

Halloween was a bit of an afterthought this year, but thanks to some luck at Goodwill (and some quick sewing) we were able to throw together some costumes everyone was happy with.

September 2016

We made our way to the State Fair again this year, thanks to the free tickets the kids always get from the library summer reading program.

First day of school! 3rd grade and 1st grade. Lockers this year, so big! Watch out school, these girls are gonna knock your socks off!
