4 big Months

Another month has come and gone for this little boy. He is now 4 big months and changing daily.
His personality is definitely making an appearance.

These are things I most adore about this boy:

-Loves to snuggle and cuddle. I melt every time I can hold him and feel his love for me.
-He waits for me with a smile on bed when I go to pick him up in the morning
-He recognizes my voice. If he wants me and he can hear me close by he would let you know.
-His sweet spirit. I can watch him sleep for the longest times. His faces is always so peaceful and has a cute little smile
-the love that he is already showing for his siblings. He adores Julia and gets excited and starts kicking whenever he sees her. Josh, it’s a work in progress, let’s just say he is still trying to figure him out, but he would smile at him when he hugs him.

Things that I am concern about:

-This boy is growing too fast! He still the smallest of my babies, but he is so smart and attentive that he appears to me older and I am not sure I like that
-He eats and eats and eats non-stop all day. I can’t even nurse him anymore for I don't think I would be able to get anything done around the house.

His favorite things to do:

-Watch TV on the floor with Julia and Josh on the floor.
-Grab things and use his little tiny fingers

-Play with his mobile toy
-EAT
-Snuggle mommy
-Baths at night. He knows they are coming and gets really excited.
-growl s when he is happy and having fun-car rides. They stop him from crying in a heart beat.

October happenings

No wonder I couldn't catch my breath this month. It's been one thing after the other, but I guess that's the life of a mom right?

We had a Family Pinewood Derby Race on Friday October 22Th. Our ward handed in some kits to each family to build your own car but we didn’t have any time to build ours, so we brought in two of the kid’s favorite toy cars to race.

Of course we had no chance competing against magnetic cars, RC cars and air propelled cars but overall we had a great time. Not to mention they provided dinner so I didn’t have to cook.

The next day we drove up to Cornish to visit Spencer's grandma. It was her birthday and she wanted to have all her family there.

It was an intense ride, the kids were wonderful, what wasn't so great was driving on a rain storm through the canyon. The ending of the storm was neat though. You could see the final rain drops mingled on top of the mountains with the last bits of sun rays.

Our visit to G'ma Smith was great. We visit with her and she was finally able to meet our A.D. These pictures are priceless.

October

What a better way to start the month of October, other than going to the Syracuse Pumpkin Walk.
We almost didn't make it, because I had to go all by myself since Spencer had to work all three nights that the Walk was open, but how can you deny a free activity to your Kids

Here we are ready to go, all dressed up in our Halloween customs, for you can't go to a pumpkin walk without them, there's just no fun in that.

I am glad to say that we chose the right day and the right time to go to the Walk. Thursday was the best day to go to the walk, it was the only day without rain, and I guess everyone though the same way because as we were going home we so the line being 4 times longer than when we first got there.

As always the Walk was great. Very organized and there were lots of great ant very elaborated carvings and some fun figures to see. My favorite personally two pumpkins with the pictures of the Prophet Joseph Smith and Thomas Monson.

It took us an hour to get through the walk, because we had to stop and have our pictures taken with our favorite carved pumpkins.

At the end of the walk the kids received a treat from the city. We also got some free chili so we were all set for the night

Here are Josh's favorite ones: pork chop from Toy story, Mickey Mouse(of course), Cars and the face from the movie Were the Wild Things Are

.

Julia's Favorite: princesses of course. Snow white, Cinderella and the Prince, A Character from Toy Story 3, ballerina mouse and The Rose from Beauty and The Beast

Black Island Farms

Julia's preschool organized a field trip to Black Island Farms. I love the place, not to mention it is a great opportunity to snap some cute pictures of the kids.
These are Julia's peers from her class . Half of the class is made out of kids from our ward so that is awesome.



We spent about 4 hours in this place. Feeding the Llamas, looking at animals, trying the bounce house, slides, and of course their cute little train.
The main event of the day was going on the hay ride into the pumpkin field to pick our own pumpkin.
Since these pumpkins are all inclusive with the price I usually have the kids pick a big one, but this time I had A.D on my lap, so some little cute pumpkins is what they got and they carried them themselves too.



There are so many cute places to snap a pictures atin this place I couldn't resist posting my favorite ones.

Missionary Reunion

On friday October 1st our family went to South Jordan for Spencer's missionary reunion.

After almost getting lost trying to find a new sub-division that our GPS didn't show, we are glad to say we made it and we were able to see some of our old friends.

It is special to me to be able to recall with Spencer special people and places about his mission. For some of his companions were my great friends who helped me become a member of the church.

It was so nice so see them again, although not all of our friends were there, it was great to see faces we hadn't seen for years.

The night was beautiful. When we came out of the church building we were able to snap a great picture of the Draper temple.

september slipt away!!!!

What to say about September but that it went by so fast. Between the end of the soccer season, beginning of school and doctor's appointments it was so suddenly over.

On September 9Th our little girl had her first day of preschool.

She was so excited about going to her school she couldn't wait. Woke up super early even though we had just returned from our long trip to Yellowstone.

We wonder about home teaching this year again, but we were so please seeing this girl interact so well with other people.

Other first was our first day at the tumbling school. We had asked Julia if she wanted to do dance this year again and she told us she rather do tumbling. She gets so excited watching gymnastics on TV and she really wanted to learn how to do head stands and flips and all that fun stuff that comes with tumbling.

I am glad we found this cute little place: Flip Side Tumbling. The best thing about it is that is located only 3 minutes away from our house. She is loving it!

On September 30Th the kids had their first field trip. They walked to the Syracuse Family Fun Center. I loved seeing her walking hand on hand with her friends.

Among other things we have had friends over for "tea"parties and play time. Julia loves to have her friends around and Josh felt really special by having the attention of 3 cute girls.

So that was pretty much my September; running, dashing, cooking and entertaining. It was gone in a flash and didn't noticed it until it was October 1st
