Snowball Fight and Kristi & Rilee's Texas Flight

Alexa has been so excited for ONE DAY of SNOW,

so she can go out and have a snow ball fight...

So when it happened, she and Karli headed out for a snowball fight!

It was hilarious to watch

(and wonderful to watch the two of them doing this alone together)

(if you look closely, you can actually see the snowball in the air below)

Sweet little smile...

Funny...

Rilee and I went to Texas!

With my Mom and nephew Noah, to visit my brother Dallas and his family!

It was a much needed break,

and so much fun!

We visited a park with PEACOCKS! 

It was really pretty and crazy to see peacocks all over

in the trees, on the building, and walking around.

Awesome

Happy Baby Rileee

Rilee with Grandma K

Everything is bigger in Texas

even the sky

(without all those Utah mountains)

Thank You Dallas and Jamie!

We had such a great time visiting you.

Happy Halloween 2011

We had a very Happy Halloween!

Rilee was a little "love bug"

Karli was Tinkerbell

Alexa was a Superhero

We went to the Halloween parade at Alexa's school.

While we were waiting for the parade to start,

Karli started twirling and dancing

...and got a bunch of little girls to get up and dance with her :)

She is quite the little instigator.

Alexa had a great time in the parade,

What a cutie!

This was right before we headed out to do our trick or treating!

These are the pumpkins we carved this year,

Karli's, Tyler and I Split the middle one, and Alexa's

Kids make Halloween so much fun!

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!
