Sunday

We had a wonderful day today.  The girls were really cute after church and wanted to look like twins, shirts, pants, pigtails and even the same color of rubber bands and ribbons!  I worked last night so I  napped after church and then we had dinner, visit from our home teachers, read from the book of Mormon and are trying to catch up and ended the night with a few rounds of bones before bed.  I love Sundays!

Sleepover

 Skyping with Jeff, Neika and Tobi in Australia

 Layni showing us her two bottom teeth, she also has three on the top

 Silly girls, we spent the morning at the girls soccer game and then shopped at a few stores in Midway and ended with lunch at Kneaders.  I sure do love my family. 

Last night my Mom and sisters came up for a sleepover to celebrate mine and Kathryn's birthdays.  We sure had fun.  The girls loved that Layni got to sleepover.  Tabitha made sure she had plenty of blankets and pillow and wanted to show everyone where she was going to sleep.

Sunday fall photo

The colors in the Heber Valley have been gorgeous!  I love where we live and love this time of year, the colors, weather, smell and foods!  We celebrated my birthday after our quick drive and photo shoot today.  I love my little family and grateful for such a fun birthday celebration.  Also, thanks to all that called, texted, emailed and sent gifts, I have wonderful friends and family.  So far 37 doesn't seem so bad, looking forward to a fun year.

Sunday

We had stake conference this morning, then afternoon naps and quiet time.  It was a nice day and fun to all be together.  Brandon was super happy about the Utes win last night against BYU and the Seahawks win today.

Utah vs. BYU

We had our third annual Utah vs. BYU party tonight.  It was a lot of fun and always great to get together with friends.

Soccer

The girls are playing soccer on the same team this year and I am the coach.  I don't know much about soccer so Brandon is a great help!  We had our first game tonight, they did pretty good but we need to get out each night and practice with them.  They sure were cute!  Here is Gabrielle at Tabitha's age the first time she played soccer, we haven't signed Gabrielle up since.

Kristen & Ryan

Cousins, missing little Tobi in Australia

 Aunt Emily

 Jeff, Neika and Tobi were on skype from Australia during the ceremony and we all got to say Hi.  

 We are counting this as our Sunday family photo for this week.  

 Cutting the cake and the first dance.   

 Sisters!

Gabrielle lost her second tooth!!  It has been wiggly for a few weeks now and after playing with it all night Brandon pulled it out during dinner.  

 Fun night of dancing.  Tabitha did not stop moving and danced with anyone that would dance with her and even those that wouldn't!   

 Sending the couple off with sparklers.

Kristen and Ryan were married today!  It was a beautiful fun night and we are sure happy for them and excited to welcome Ryan to our family.  The girls loved getting dressed up and walking down the isle throwing rose petals.  Thanks to my friend Camille who came and took a ton of photos.

Pre-school

Tabitha and I are doing just us for pre-school this year, we are going to do a letter each week.  She was so excited to start and wanted to do all the fun stuff that Gabrielle got to do when she started school.  Last night she picked hamburgers for dinner and got her backpack and supplies all ready last night.  I am excited to have some one on one time with Tabitha this year.

Two wheels!

Brandon took the training wheels off of Gabrielle's bike at the beginning of summer.  She was always so nervous when he would take her out to practice riding.  She began just walking the bike and trying to pedal herself.  She can now ride her bike after all summer of practicing!!

Seattle Sunday

Today was our last day in Seattle.  We went to sacrament meeting and then spent the afternoon packing, napping and playing.  We had a delicious grilled Salmon dinner and then headed to the airport.  We had a great time this week!
