October

Here are a bunch of pictures from this last month, not necessarily in the correct order. :)
We just had our primary program at church this Sunday. Mackayla and Bradley did a great job and said their parts so well! Jared got to sit up on the stand also with our primary class.  

   A picture of Mom and Caitlin on Sunday afternoon.
 After a very cold week and even some snow, we had a warm wonderful weekend to finish the month off. 
Mackayla and Caitlin swinging.
 Bradley spent all afternoon working on his new  tricks on the swing set. He wanted his picture taken.
 Then he took one of me doing tricks too.

At the beginning of the month the kids all got sick one at a time. It was a bug that had a high fever and a little throwing up and lasted about 3 days. They all took turns having it, not overlapping at all. So we had someone sick for almost two full weeks!


 


Jacob was actually sick before Bradley was but when Bradley got sick, Jacob was feeling much better but was not quite ready to give up the attention yet. He liked getting to pick the shows to watch and getting to drink sprite from a straw while laying on the couch. He kept getting a blanket and laying down telling me he was sick again. This picture is from when he was faking it.
Jacob wanted to take some pictures with my itouch.
This one he took of me, Caitlin, Bradley and Mackayla. :)
Cute girl eating her toes.
This has been a big month for Caitlin. She learned to sit up on her own, unsupported. She also learned to crawl the day she turned 6 months old. She's crawling around and babbling like crazy!
Bradley's preschool class got to go on a field trip this month to a close by little farm. Jacob, Caitlin, and I got to go too and had a great time.

Wagon ride to get a pumpkin

Poor Caitlin fell and got her forehead and eye all banged up. The pictures never show how bad it really looked.
Mackayla took this picture of Jared and Bradley. This was actually when Bradley was sick and Jared had taken him outside to get some fresh air.

 Then they took a picture of her.

 Lookin good in her leopard print!

This was right before Mackayla's dance class. She looked so pretty, I just had to take a picture.
Another picture through the window during dance class.

Jacob had a blast one afternoon blowing a bowl full of bubbles.
Bradley as Mario
The kids all had their first formal sewing lesson. They each made a Cinderella bean bag for a birthday gift for Lexi. I was impressed how well they did!

Bradley had a crazy hair day at preschool.

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

At the end of September Grandpa and Grandma came down for a quick visit. They babysat while I got a lot of appointments taken care of and just played. It was so fun to have them here.
 We took them up to the City Creek Mall in SLC. There was a balloon man there that afternoon making free balloon creations for the kids. 
 
Grandpa tickling Caitlin
We gave Jared a bunch of BYU football tickets for Father's Day. We got to all go enjoy a game while my parents were here.

September

September came and went very quickly. We were able to adjust to our new busy school schedule and made a quick trip to Yakima also.
Bradley started preschool at Doodlebug. He was SO excited and not at all nervous about going. He's been wanting to go there since Mackayla started there two years ago. He's loving it and had a great first month.

Jacob got to start Mommy school or Jacob school. Some days he likes to call in Mommy school and other days, it's Jacob school. He having fun learning his letters better.

On Labor day Jared took us on a little fishing outing. We didn't catch anything but had a great time playing by the water.

Jared painting Mackayla's toes for her.
Caitlin started eating baby foods this month. She's loving it!
Such a pretty girl!
Making smores one night with Julie, Lisa and kids
Mackayla started a ballet class this month also.
She even got to start doing gymnastics on Saturday mornings as well. She loves both of her classes.
Bradley has been wanting to take a gymnastics class also and so we signed him up for the four year old class. He actually just started at the beginning of October. He's had one class and LOVES it!
Caitlin is getting so big and smart. She's always smiling at us and is never lacking any attention!

Caitlin loves looking in the mirror.
