Cute Girls

While we were in Utah my cousin took some pictures of Brooke and Kaylee. She has a photograpgy business http://www.erinlangford.com/ check it out!

Thank you so much Erin. They turned out great!

Halloween Carnival

Our ward had it's annual Halloween carnival/trunk or treat on Saturday. Our little witch with her broom.Here are a few of her friends. Kaylee was really tired and didn't want to play any of the games.

She did however enjoy the treats!

I just had to add this picture too. Kaylee is so proud to be holding her sister. Brooke didn't like it so much though. Kaylee likes her sister for the most part but yesterday she got a little violent and hit her a few times! Luckily Kaylee is so small it didn't hurt her at all. I hope she doesn't make a habit of it though.

What a weekend!!

We went to Utah this last weekend for Matt (Jake's brother) and Julia's wedding! They were married in the Logan temple. I forgot my recommend but we were able to work things out so I could go to the ceremony. They are a cute couple. It was so fun to see all our family. It was perfect weather for the wedding! I loved being there in the sunshine and away from the clouds and rain of Seattle. The wedding reception was at Thanksgiving point (which is about 1 1/2 hours from Logan). Brooke and Kaylee had some really cute matching dresses for the reception.. My mom made the dress Kaylee is wearing and the one Brooke is wearing was from my brother's wedding 2 years ago. Kaylee was 2 1/2 weeks old then.

We spent the night at my grandma's house after the reception since it was a lot closer to Thanksgiving point than Logan. On Saturday we had and birthday party for my grandma/Halloween party. I hadn't been to a family party for a very long time. It was fun to see cousins and my aunts and uncles. Kaylee had a blast playing with all my cousins. They followed her around everywhere she went.

Here are 2 little witches. My little sister Kelli and Kaylee. Aren't they cute?

Here are the younger cousins all dressed up for the Halloween party. Even little Brooke had a witch hat on, although my mom said it looked more like a Pilgrim hat.

On Sunday we blessed Brooke at Jake's parent's house. We had permission from our Bishop to do it there since all our family was there. We just had our families and a few friends there. It was nice and then we had some lunch. We are so blessed to have such good supportive families.

We are also so blessed to have this sweet little girl as part of our family. It was such a busy weekend with lots of driving from Logan to Orem to Clearfield, back to Logan, back to Clearfield. We had so much fun though! I miss Utah and being by all our family. Someday we'll live close again. Thanks family for such a great trip!

All by myself...

Jake has been working from home the past 2 weeks and my mom was here the first week. This is the first week I have the girls all by myself. So far it's been ok. Kaylee has thrown a few tantrums and dropped a couple books on Brooke that she wanted me to read while I was holding Brooke. It has been manageable with Kaylee's 2 hour naps and the fact that Brooke still sleeps pretty much all the time. Thank goodness for baby swings too! They are life savers. The house is a huge mess though. Kaylee takes advantage of me feeding Brooke and dumps out all her toys and gets out all her books and anything else she can get out. It's only been 2 days but the mess is driving me crazy! I only have one more day to worry about it this week though, then it's off to Utah for Jake's brother's wedding!!

Happy Birthday Kaylee!

Oct. 2 was Kaylee's 2nd birthday! She had a great time opening her presents. She got some books, cars, a jacket, and some golf clubs (Jake was pretty excited about that.)

Kaylee refused to blow out her candles. She was more excited about the ice-cream than the cake.

Grandma decorated the cake for Kaylee. Thanks grandma!

Jake and I took her to the Children's museum to play and left Brooke with Grandma.

This is the jacket grandma gave Kaylee. She refused to try it on while grandma was here. This picture is for you grandma. She didn't want to take it off.

More Pictures

Here is our latest family picture.

My mom and I had a little photo shoot of Brooke today. Here are a few of the pictures.

I love her little slippers!

Cute sisters! Kaylee is actually doing very well with Brooke. Of course dad and grandma are here right now, so we'll see how it goes when it's just me and the girls. Kaylee got upset the first few times I fed Brooke but since then has been fine with it. She likes to pet sister's head and point out her eyes and nose. She has offered to share some toys with Brooke but is not about to share her blankets. Grandma had to buy Brooke her own new blanket so Kaylee wouldn't steal it.

It has been great having my mom here. Kaylee loves to play with her and she has cooked up a bunch of meals for us. She is also sewing Kaylee a dress for Jake's brother's reception in a few weeks. Thanks mom, you are the greatest!
