Visit from Jes & Harrison

My sister Jes and her new baby Harrison came down to visit for the weekend. We had a great time and loved getting to finally meet Harry!

Getting ready for Christmas

Okay, so I know it's early but I'm totally geared up for Christmas this year. To kick start things I've decided that I want to get the kids' pictures done and use them for Christmas cards. I was having a hard time finding anything in the store that matched what I was picturing so I decided to make the girls "candy cane" tutus. They turned out great! Now I just need to get the pictures done! :)

Christmas card ideas

Some designs I made for Christmas cards.

Halloween

For Halloween this year Kaia wanted to be a bumble bee, Lilee was SuperGirl, and Connor was Spiderman. The kids had a great time trick or treating not wanting to stop even after their legs were too tired to keep going! All night long Connor would only answer to Spiderman and not his own name! They had tons of fun!

Birthdays

I know I'm really behind so...here they all are! Lilee's 3rd birthday was September 2nd, and Kaia's 7th birthday was October 8th. They both lucked out and got to have Daddy home for their parties! Eric came home the day before Kaia's birthday, and she wanted to go bowling. We picked her up from school and headed straight to Fat Cat's in Provo. We had a great time and decided to start bowling at least once a month.

Kaia's Glasses

A couple weeks ago we got a letter from the school saying that Kaia failed her vision screening. After having to calm down a very upset Kaia, we took her to the eye doctor where they confirmed that she needed glasses. So today I took her to Lens Crafters where she picked out her very first pair of glasses ever. Isn't she cute?

Labor Day Weekend

We just found out that Eric gets a 4 day leave to come home for Labor Day Weekend! We're bouncing off the walls with excitement! His plane comes in at 10am on September 4th and then he leaves again at 10am on September 7th. Which means, he'll get to help us celebrate Lilee's 3rd birthday after all! Now if only the next 2 weeks would fly by!
