~September~

Fun at beautiful Shaver Lake celebrating my dear friend Ashley's 28th Birthday! We had a blast on the party boat, jet ski's and canoe! It was the most gorgeous day with our friends and we had a blast. It was Jonathon's first time on a jet ski and Caleb's first time tube riding behind a boat with daddy! Brave boy! This was Bella's first time at the lake. Bella loved looking all around at the commotion and sleeping on mommy while she chatted with her girlfriends. We are so lucky to live near such beauty, it was nice to get out of town!

We had a fun day at the park with my cousins who came into town! I love spending time with all my cousins, I have 30 of them and wish I could see more of them! Most of us have kids now, it would be so fun to get everyone together someday. Bella met her second cousins for the first time and I met my cousin Jordan and Noel's little David :)

More friends came into town in September! Another of my dearest childhood friends Andrea and her sisters dropped by to say hi. Andrea was able to meet Bella for the first time and that made me so happy :) I wish we lived closer, she's all the way out in Utah, boo! It was fun to catch up for a couple hrs. before she had to fly back home to her hubby & three kids.

More visitors! Caleb loves his new buddy Andrew. My best friend Chelsea's little guy. We were blessed to have them visiting as well for a few weeks! We sure love the Sybrowsky fam. It was so fun to see her two little boys and for her to meet Isabella. We had so much fun swimming, a trip to the zoo, playdates at our house, girls nights out, and Jed and Chelsea over for dinner one night. I wish we lived closer too! It was so fun and we treasure the memories. Can't wait to see them at Christmas... and maybe sooner! ;)

The boys love to help mama cook or bake, I love this because when they are grown men they will be great cooks, this will be useful on their missions, away at college and to help out their wives one day!

Caleb's preschool fieldtrip to the fire station! I don't think he could have been happier. He loooves firemen and says he wants to be one when he grows up. He had such a great time with his preschool buddies learning all about what firemen do, taking a tour of the firehouse and the firetruck, and watching the firmen get dressed into their gear. He wears his fireman hat they give the kids all the time.  So cute

This profile shot does me in, I just want to bite her cheeks -- I do in fact-- all the time.

Her first time on the swing with daddy at grandmas house -- priceless!

This picture is the epitome of Caleb, everyday he dresses up in something head to toe! I love it.

My beautiful baby girl turned 3 months old in September! Time is ticking way too fast! I am loving every minute with my doll, she has my whole heart, it's so much fun being her mom!
