Bailey's Birthday

The week of Halloween is always super crazy around here.  We had Bailey's birthday, Fall Festival at Kaden's school, the ward Halloween carnival, Kaden's Birthday, our community Octoberfest, and a trunk-or-treat with friends.  It was CRAZY!  We were all Halloween-ed out before Halloween even got here!  So here's the first of the pics - Bailey's Birthday!

-----------------------------------



I can't believe Bailey is 5 already!  My kids birthdays are always bittersweet - it is so much fun celebrating and making the day all about them.  But it makes me sad to think how fast they are growing up!  Ok - anyway.

Bailey wanted to take cupcakes to preschool for her birthday.  We tried some flower cupcakes - I thought they turned out pretty cute and Bai LOVED them.

Opening presents bright and early before Kaden had to go to school.

very excited about her "high heel flip flops"

 She chose a carousel cake (at least that's what it's supposed to be)

 Happy Birthday Bai!  We are so glad you are part of our family.  You are such a sweet and kind little girly girl.  We love you!



A friend took this pic of Lex - and I LOVE it!

For some reason when I look at this picture I just think of what a strong little personality Lexie has - and how all of my kids have such different and distict personalities. Even though their stubborn and strong-willed behavior can make me crazy, I am going to try harder to appreciate their strengths.  As my mom just reminded me, they have to be strong to face everything they will deal with in their lifetime.  I just hope I can steer these headstrong little children in the right direction!

2 Months Old!

I can't believe Kolten is growing so fast!  Here he is at 2 months (October 4th).  I would keep him this age forever if I could - he is SUCH a content, happy baby and such a little cuddle bug.  I just love him

Kolten's Blessing

Kolten was blessed on September 26, 2010.  Matt gave him a beautiful blessing.  Thanks to all the friends and family who came.  It was so much fun having everyone here - a perfect day.
