OCTOBER

Our little Rilee is growing up way too fast

She is now seven months,

rolling, crawling, trying to stand up on things,

and just being the cute, happy little girl she has always been!

Grandma Shelley gave Alexa and Karli some dress ups last time she was here

...perfect timing to wear them to Grandma K's ward Halloween party!

Goo!

We saw a little project to try from a show we were watching...

CORN STARCH, WATER, FOOD COLORING

and wah-la

a messy fun project!

Perfect for Halloween

Tyler had his knee scoped.

I didn't get any pictures of Tyler before the bandages came off,

but here he is being a big help with Rilee while resting his knee!
His body has recovered amazing!

He barely had any of the symptoms that the nurse warned me about

before I took him home...and he is already up and moving and getting things done.

While Ty's parents and family were in town, Alexa and her cousin Nathan

both had their last soccer games!

Karli at Gymnastics

Enjoying a nice day with outside

Karli wanted to try no training wheels...but not quite ready :)

We had a nice evening while Ty's family was in town with everyone.

Amber and her baby Whitney came all the way from Indiana!

Ty with all of his siblings

and with parents

I have to end with a funny face from Rilee!

Go Green Lizards!

Alexa and Tyler's soccer season is over for the year,

and will pick up in the spring.

They had such a great time!

The Green Lizards

Max, Merry, Alexa, Dakota

Abby, Rose, Sophia, Maya

It's October

Alexa was being crazy and having a great time

while making Rilee laugh and laugh and laugh!

General Conference weekend...spent Sunday at my parents home.

September catch up

Wow, where did September go? 

We stayed busy...just a "good busy" not too busy...

with kindergarten, soccer, ballet, gymnastics, playgroup,

friends, family, and we especially enjoyed the

wonderful September weather we had this year! 

The girls love to help in the kitchen.

Here they are helping Grandma K make some zucchini cake.

It was delish!

Karli loves loves loves Rilee.

It is adorable...but is also filled with reminders to be soft and gentle :)

What would I do without Alexa's help?! 

She is at a perfect age to help distract Rilee and Karli

while I get things done once and awhile :)

And this was the day that Rilee first started to "scoot" or army crawl her way around :)

She was determined to get to the game we were playing...

After school one day we headed to this great little "lake" or "beach" nearby for some sand and water time.  Alexa and Karli invited two of "their" friends, Merry and Kendall, from Alexa's class.

Karli is excited to be in gymnastics now!
