September :)

Labor Day brought our first camping trip together as a family. Our friends in the ward and that lived right behind us in our old house invited us and our other good friends up to Mccall. They let us use all of their camping gear because they had a camper. We went on a really long hike......But it was really fun and our kids were such troopers!!




It was a beautiful view!! Well worth the energy expended :)












All of the kids after the hike!!


Zayne was in his element up there!! Outdoors, Active, dirt, and having fun!!

We went to the beach and played! The girls loved riding the kayak around!!



Colton and Zayne had fun playing in the sand!







There were some horrible fires in September. I got this beautiful picture of the sun one night!


Colton loves his Curious George!!


Colton also loves his daddy so much!! Here he is pointing at pictures on our family calendar! He kept pointing at daddy, saying "daddy!, daddy!, daddy!!"


Owen was not impressed with our rental. LOL!!

I started selling some big furniture the couple days before we moved! I sold our entertainment center because Owen said he would build me a new one for the new house. We sold the kitchen table and we sold Evie's big captain bed. 


The boys had fun make shifting a table!!


I got the boys some Halloween shirts from Old Navy! 

Of course that's George jumping out of a jack o lantern! 

More Coltie and George!


It was still pretty hot when we moved out of our house. We moved into the trailer on Sep 9th. We had SO much help from friends. My friends Michelle, Holly and Dalynne and my mother in law helped me pack up THE WHOLE house. We went back to the house to start cleaning and when we got there my friends Michelle and Holly had used my garage code to get into our house and had basically cleaned it all for us. Seriously, tears came to my eyes when I figured out what was going on. I have the best friends ever!! Love them forever <3 p="">
This was the first night in our house. It was SO hot. We had one air conditioning wall unit and it was in the front of the trailer. So we opted to sleep out in the front room together that first night. Here is a picture of Evie in her bed before going to sleep. Yes, that's an ice pack on her forehead. LOL!


We bought bunkbeds for the kids' room. that's the only way it would fit all 3 of them in there. This was a sweet moment I caught. Evie reading to Zayne one day after school. 


Colton got sick a couple of days after moving in. He got a stomach bug. It was pretty bad. Luckily no one else got it. Here are the kiddos eating their favorite food: Mongolian BBQ. We got it as take out after Colton puked in the restaurant. Yeah, first kid of mine to ever throw up in public. Poor little guy.


The kids sure love their daddy. Colton was awfully cuddly while he was sick. 



There's a smile from him :)



Our neighbor has a face on their tree and Zayne was quite frightened by it. He kept asking if it was alive. Then one day he asked me if he should throw a rock at it. lol!! I told him I didn't think it would be a good idea for him to throw rocks ever. He then informed me that he already had  thrown a rock at the tree. lol!! I'm just glad it didn't end up in the neighbors front window!


Here is a picture of Zayne peeking over the fence at the scary tree!!

This little guy is amazing at puzzles!!!


Colton had that yucky bug for almost a week or so. He liked to lie on the couch with his blankie and Curious George pillow while he watched Curious George!



Evie snuggling with daddy one night!


This was when Colton started to feel better!! Love these 4 humans with all of my heart <3 p="">



Another picture of our lot!!! We were impatiently awaiting the permit back from the city so they could get started on the building process!




Evie and Owen went to a princess ball that was put on by the dance team at the high school!


Some pictures from their fun night!!





I absolutley LOVE having a little girl!! She is the sweetest <3 p="">


These boys have fun together!! I bought this rug because I thought I could use it in our new house somewhere. The rental had all laminate flooring through out. It's pretty loud, cold and dirty. We thought the rug would be a nice play for the kids to play!






Love this little guy that sometimes drives me crazy!!!


Colton is getting more and more interested in playing with the kids!! He insisted on putting this Spiderman mask one day!

Colton and his George!!


Owen went on a 4  wheeling adventure one Saturday and got some beautiful pictures!!!






Zayne has been wanting these plastic eyeballs from the dollar store since he saw them last year!!

He's told me this before but he mentioned it again this day. He said "I don't have bad dreams because I keep my eyes open while I'm sleepin'." LOL!!




Cute little brothers!! 




Owen sent this picture to me durning church one Sunday! I don't know why but he looks so long in this and so funny!

We stopped by the new Meridian Temple one night and it looked so beautiful!!!!

We had some very beautiful weather that we had to take advantage of!! Evie gathered up this bouquet of wheat looking stuff one day at the park!


My sister had her sweet little Violet at the end of September!! She is a cutie!!!
