FRIEND FROM HS/ WRESTLING MATCH AT NIC

It's nice to see old friends from high school every now and then. I went to school with this guy from 3rd grade thru high school. Sean goes to school at Montana State Northern. His team came to NIC to wrestle. He won his match. I don't know much about wrestling, but Zack tried to fill me in as the matches went on.

He's on the right in this top picture.

1,2,3... wrestle!!

FAMILY NITE PUMPKIN CARVING

a little late, but atleast i got it up here.

family nite was pumpkin carving nite, of coarse before halloween. it was fun.

the mess of it all

AUSTIN HATES GETTING DIRTY. So he didn't have much to do with carving or gutting out the pumpkins. But he does love looking at it every day. I got the pumpkins out at Carvers Farm.

SUNDAY DRESS

I couldn't get enough of my kids this last Sunday morning. I had them matching as best I could, and they just looked adoreable.

Austin just has this amazing, HUGE smile.

And big brown eyes

I'm so glad he loves his little sister. Now he just needs to learn how to be GENTLE.
For the most part he is.

Look how cute. He's going to be a great big brother and protector for her.

I LOVE MY KIDS SO MUCH.

Couldn't ask for anything more in life. My family is my pride and joy, and I would be lost without them.

HALLOWEEN FAIRY BROOKLYN

These pics are so stinking adoreable.

I love this little girls smile. She is like this most of the day. Always smiling, laughing, flapping her arms, kicking her legs. She gets so excited when she sees her daddy. Austin can always make her laugh. My baby girl is so precious. I'm so grateful to have to well behaved, happy kids.

My gorgeous girl.

Lexi and Brook in Seattle. They're so cute together! Brookie is definately a little bit chubbier than Lexi. Can you tell? Look at those arms and cheeks!! I love it!!

I MAKE A DELICIOUS PEACH PIE

MY FAVORITE PIE EVER.

PEACH PIE.

Only the second pie I've ever made.

YUMMY

RESULTS!
I MADE MY OWN CRUST AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY YUMMY.

COUSINS...COUSINS

These pictures speak for themselves.

2 cute little cousins, having bathtime together.

They were making eachother laugh. Splashing, kicking, screaming of joy!

Lexi did not want to sit down. She's so much more mobile than Brookie now. But I'm glad Brook's not crawling just yet. I don't need to be worrying about her getting into things, when I have an Austin around.

Cute little cousins.

SEATTLE FUN

These are just random pictures of us and family while we were in Seattle. We had too much fun. I wish we could go visit my dad and step-mom more often. It's just so relaxing and I love being with my dad. My Aunt and Uncle also live near Seattle, in Bothell. They are a lot of fun too. My aunt is just so outgoing. She's a hairdresser and probably my favorite aunt.

Austin at Papa's house in Bainbridge, Sunday morning. We watched conference with them and had a yummy lunch. We then took a drive to Silverdale and caught the ferry back to Seattle.

Brookie, just being so good and playing with toys.


Papa and Brookie. My dad loves his grandkids so much.

Austin playing catch. He loves his Papa. He had a complete blast with him. What a lucky little boy to have such a loving Papa.

Another of Brookie and Papa.

On the ferry from Silverdale to Seattle. It was a fun experience for Zack and Austin. They had never been on a ferry. It was only a 30-40 minute ride, but it was exciting. Austin had never been on a boat, so he was excited. He liked the fact that we got to drive the car on the boat.

Me and Boo on the ferry. CHEESE

View of blurry Seattle. Couldn't get a good pic.

We got to my aunt's house Sunday night. She has 3 kids. One at college, one on a mission, and one at home, finishing her senior year of HS. They are all fun and so outgoing. My favorite relatives.

This was Monday morning at Brad and Judy's hotel room. Sadie taught us a game called karate; you have one hand to hit the person's hand next to you and one hand to hide from somebody hitting you. It was funny.

There they go. It was good to be able to visit with Sadie. She didn't have a whole lot of time to be alone with her family. She had to be with her team a lot.

Fun trip to Seattle. I really hope we can make those trips more often. It is only 5 hours away.
