happy birthday to the best dad around!

The kids wanted to make Ry a birthday cake, & so we did.

love the look on Lauren's face, Davis' sweet smile, & Emma just grow'n so fast

Ry came home for his lunch break & was so surprised

the kids started eating the cake before decorating it

Look who is getting so big!

Miss Emma is a ray of sunshine! She is just a happy baby & is always so content. The older sisters in the ward always ask me if she is always that way. I grin & proudly reply yes! We get up in the night, but she is always so sweet!

making sweet baby noises, & learning to sit/lean back in the boppy

who couldn't just eat her up?!

You can call me the Queen Princess!

I was getting my fall decorations out, & I felt this little tap on my shoulder, low & behold as I turn around, I'm greeted by Lauren who annouces to me that she is "The Queen Princess" And that I was her helper. It was so darling & she was so serious. What a fun memory

October's RS Enrichment night was a Mommy & Daughter Halloween night.  We came all dressed up, I was Pippy Long Stocking & Lauren was a nice witch.  We decorated pumpkins, painted our fingernails, decorated cookies & had so much fun! Thanks Lauren for being my big sis! I love you so much.  Emma was dressed up in halloween pjs & was so comfy nestled in her carseat.

We grew our own pumpkin patch!

10.3.2011

so davis is pretty excited about the HUGE pumpkin patch that grew in our very own humble garden. He just could not stop picking them.

All 11 were on our front porch too

                                                                 carving them up!

So proud of his creation! Our dad was so awesome that he baked the seeds out of most of the pumpkins & they were yummy! Can't wait to do it again next year!
