I guess it is time to catch up with all our family and friends... We just sold our home and will be moving the end of November.... Courtney is almost done with school... Sydnee and Chase are growing fast....and we are so blessed!! There it is in a nutshell =)

Seems like life always brings about challenges but we are blessed to know that the Lord is mindful of our needs if we are faithful. This month we have experience these blessing.

Here are a few fun moments of fall and Halloween to share...Chase and Sydnee loved the fallen leaves. Sydnee has been into asking question about everything. Why, Why, Why, Why do the leaves fall off? Why is it snowing? And on and on and on..... Exploring the world a bit deeper now. Chase is Sydnee's little friend. Loves to be right by her side. He also is very determined to get his way all the time. Leads to problem, but thank goodness fixable ones!!! He is really into playing with hes animals and putting things in his pocket. He loves to carry around keys. We don't know what is up with this one! Just growing up =)

Halloween we spent the day up in Rexburg with my sisters. The kids had a blast. Chase really got into walking to the doors and would wait till he heard candy drop in his bucket. Sydnee would yell after every door..."I did it myself." So proud. She was the leader to every door. So full of energy, however, the minute she was strap in the car she was out. Took seconds!!

We had so much fun... and of course the candy was fun to pick through... good thing Sydnee was willing to share some...hint...hint.. (some).

Oh, BOY!!

The kids have been busy. Sydnee helped Grandpa Ivie blow out his birthday candles, they have played with their cousins from Memphis, and have been busy cooking pies and cookies. We have had so much fun this harvest season. We have really been enjoying the warm weather the past couple of days. We are blessed to have children so full of energy.












Check out these kids. I was cleaning the storage room and came back to find my kids painting each other. Chase thought it was great and Sydnee was the main culprit. She thought they both could be Indians. I just had to laugh and take a picture then they both got a bath.

My many hobbies!!

I am always up to something. My latest is taking senior pictures for a friend. Just thought I would post them. Tell me what you think. Oh, and of course I am always coming up with some new bag to make. I thought it turned out pretty cute.

Life is great!!

YA.... I am 27, crazy!!!! I guess I can't complain life is great. I have beautiful children, a great husband, and I can still keep up. Guess it's not to bad. I had a great birthday with my children and family. We spent the day at the state fair and then had dinner at Firth. Good times!!



I would ask Chase to smile and he would just stick out the tounge.

This is Sydnee's new pose!!

I helped a friend make her girls dresses for a wedding. I have also made Sydnee a few dresses. She is so into the Princess thing right now!!

The kids love this water park up in Rexburg. Lots of fun!!

Fair Time!!

We look forward to the fair week each year. It is our last hurrah before school starts back up for Courtney and our schedules change once again. Since the kids are older they really get a kick out of the rodeo, rides, and parades. They both are so country that they love the animal barns and just getting dirty. What kid doesn't? It was fun hanging out with the family and just enjoying life.

Camping!

Our summer camping trip with the Smith family was so much fun. Even though this was the end of July it is still worth posting. We had such a blast and the weather was perfect. Check out the pictures, they tell a story!!
