going private

I feel as though the era of the blog has passed.... probably right around the time a second baby joined our family! I still plan on updating periodically, but this has become the least convenient way to keep our friends and family up to date with our lives.

So, for the few of you who still read blogs, I'm making this (incredibly outdated) blog private. If you'd like an invite, leave a comment with your email address and I'll add you.

Merry Christmas!

A few more random pictures from the fun month of October (and I am ALMOST caught up... for a few days anyway).

photo by hazel, perfectly captures my life for the past 5 months :)

we've been watching Dancing With the Stars and Hazel is obsessed. Here she is with a fancy hairdo and a skeleton dance partner. 

Henry started solid foods. He LOVES it. So far he's had peaches, sweet potatoes, green beans, rice and oatmeal. 

watching 'Master Chef'. clearly we've been watching too much tv. 

loves that the strawberry juice looks like blood. and seriously, she's gorgeous. 

a sunny stake conference

we had spence and family in town for a week- it was so fun to spend time together!

"smile, hazel." "no, this is the face i want to make."

I brought snack and volunteered at Hazel's preschool last week. She was SO thrilled to have me there- mostly because it meant she was line leader, could help set up snack, and could choose toys and songs. Lucky girl!

Up next, lots of Halloween fun!!

grandma's visit and hazel's anniversary!

We had a great time with Grandma in town!

October 9th was the 5 year anniversary of when Arlianne contacted us for the first time. We always celebrate this special day with a spaghetti dinner!

We then took the celebration to the brand new Target! Woohoo!!

The next day, October 10th, was the 4 year anniversary of Hazel's sealing. It was Hazel's special day, so she got to choose where we ate (chinese food because its so fancy), she got presents (a Merida bow and arrow she's been dying for), her awesome daddy gave her flowers and the sweetest card. We are so blessed to have this beautiful girl in our family!!

 

It was so great to have Grandma in town to celebrate with us (and to help Isaac with his new business. Thank you!!!)
