Hawaiian Christmas!

In mid-December Nate and I helped plan our ward Christmas party, along with another couple. We decided on a Hawaiian Christmas theme. It was so much fun! The other couple did all the food, which was amazing. I did the decorating. I pretty much felt like I did nothing but shop, shop, shop for 2 weeks before the party. It was a lot of work and I was stressed, but it turned out really well. We had a beautiful family of Polynesian girls come and do a hula performance, and several talented people in our ward performed musical numbers also. I thought it was a great night.

We got to hear from the missionaries from our ward, who are serving around the world. Really neat.

Noah- 4 months

I adore Noah so much. He is a sweet, happy baby. At his 4 month check-up he weighed 15 lbs and he was in the 93rd percentile for height. I'm pretty sure he's our biggest baby. He seems to be growing faster than the others. Maybe it's just because I want him to stay little forever.

He's not a great sleeper during the day. Naps are a real struggle. He actually does pretty well at night though. Probably because he sleeps with me. Ugh. I can't believe I'm co-sleeping again. I know he should be in his own bed. One of these days, I will transition him to the Pack 'N Play. Hopefully soon.

School Pictures

I was so happy with Paige and Kate's school pictures this year. Cute girls. I really can't believe that they're in 4th and 1st grade. I swear I just barely graduated from high school.

Twinsies!

We've decided that Noah is Halle's little twin. It's so fun because when I was pregnant with Noah, I secretly hoped he would be blond with blue eyes, just for some variety. Turned out perfectly! :)

Noah's Blessing

Noah was blessed on October 9th, 2016 by his dad. It was a great blessing, and thankfully, Noah was very well-behaved. I think he slept through it. After we got home from church that day, I was devastated when I realized that we forgot to take any pictures. I really wanted a family photo. So lame!! I feel like my mind is always in a million different places. 

We love our sweet Noah so much. He truly is a little ray of sunshine in our family. 

October 2016

Fall is so much fun. I love the weather, the food, the clothes, the decorations, everything. Here is a recap of October...

My parents came to town for Noah's blessing in early October, so we took a trip up to Greenbluff. 

 Paige made some cute cupcakes at Activity Days

The girls borrowed costumes from Grandma Bev. I told Paige that when I was about her age, I was a
"dead bride" for Halloween. She found a bride costume at Grandma's house and she got really into acting the part.

Our Anna costume and chicken costume have both been used several times. But hey... they still work. 

We had a fun ward party.

Halloween night was pretty dang cold, but we survived. We have a great neighborhood for trick-or-treating. Lots of friendly people, with homes pretty close together. 

This is at Paige's class party.
