Family Pictures

We had some family pictures taken last Sunday by the always wonderful Tina Miera. I LOVE the way they turned out. My kids are so stinkin' cute! And Beckett is such a little fatty. I'm so glad to capture their personalities on film to have forever. You can see how much we enjoy each other as a family from these photos. My boys (all three of them) are so handsome!
Sorry for all the photos, but I couldn't pick which ones to share.

Trunk or Treat

We had so much fun at the annual trunk or treat for salt lake city mommies. They put on a great little carnival and Holden got tons of candy from all the trunks. I thought I would share a few pictures of my kids. If you haven't joined the site yet, you should do it now! We have lots of fun activities for every holiday as well as play-dates throughout the year.

Falling Leaves

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."- Eric Sloane

Autumn is by far my favorite season. And I love the beautiful pictures I get to take of my boys playing in the leaves in our front yard. Enjoy!!

My Budding Photographer

Here are a few samples of the fantastic pictures Holden decided to take with my camera. If you can't tell I had no idea he was using it. There were over 30 so I'm sure he had fun. And I'm glad he did because it will never happen again. He was quite proud of himself. Aren't they just wonderful?

8 Years and Counting

Eight years ago today I married my wonderful husband, Tim. We've been through some ups and some downs, but overall have been very happy. I'm so glad to have him as my husband. I love him so much! He is a wonderful husband and father. I'm sure we have many more years ahead of us. Happy Anniversary!!

Six month old Chubster

Beckett is six months old! Can you believe it? Where does the time go? He is also a little fatty patty. No surprise there. He weighs 20 pounds 1 ounce which puts him in the 90th percentile. He is 27.5 inches long and has a head circumference of 45 cm, both of which put him in the 75th percentile.
He is rolling all over the place and has also started rocking on all fours. So I'm sure crawling isn't too far away. He is full of smiles most of the time and loves attention! He also is in love with his older brother. He laughs at/for Holden way more than anyone else. I love seeing the two of them together.

52 Blessings

Today I am so thankful for my wonderful husband!!


Tim has been hunting this weekend and it has reminded me of how much I love having him home. He is such a good dad and great man! I'm so lucky to have him in my life. He always takes the time to rough house with Holden or to kiss Beckett, something to show them how much he loves them! He makes dinner for the family almost every night and never complains about it. He works extremely hard so that I can stay home with our kids. He is very goal oriented and always strives to help me with my goals. He is also very supportive of me and the kids. He has zero interest in going to Church, yet almost every week is asking me if I'm going and helping me to get the boys ready to go. I'm so thankful he is in my life.
I hope you know how much I love you, Tim!!
