November

November was a weird month. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the very end of the month, and we spent it in Rocky Point. So it I started decorating really early since we wouldn’t be having Thanksgiving and I needed to feel that holiday spirit in my life! Our house is so festive and cozy during the holidays. We had so much fun decorating and celebrating! 


These pictures are all over the place again. 

Abby decorating her mini tree. Each girls has their won (except Eliza, we made sure to do this during Nap time) 


So much time playing outside! 


Kyle and I sit here every night and talk before we go upstairs. It is the best ever! 


Funny picture of my dad from rocky point. 


Eliza is one of our best sleepers. She never wakes up at night. But one night she really struggled. She wasn’t feeling great. I was up with her during the night, and then she woke up really really early. She snuggled in bed with me, and she fell asleep on my legs. It was really sweet. 


I finally started learning how to make signs and use my saw!! I absolutely loved how these signs turned out. They looked amazing in our home. 




These girls gathered so many sea shells! 




Jane helped me make these super cute jars. They looked amazing all lit up. 













This little girls will not go to nursery!! It makes that second hour of church very long. I am so so so grateful we don’t have 3 hour church anymore. 


This little girl in these over alls is my favorite. 



These little siblings are the best 


She loves using forks and spoons, even though they make huge messes. 


This girls is the best at helping pick out decorations. 


Instead of fighting the crowds at the school for Mom’s with muffins we just went and got some donuts for breakfast. We brought Aniston with us which was so much fun! 


This girl is a serious treasure. We are so blessed to have her. 



They were having the cutest conversation. It was a moment I never want to forget. 


A red velvet cake I made for Aniston’s birthday. 



All the Cordner grandkids. We had a pre thanksgiving thanksgiving at the Cordners house the night before thanksgiving. 


Jane is so helpful. She helps Eliza get down the stairs by scooting down on her bum. 


Poor sick Eliza asleep on my legs. 


It was so fun to spend so much time with my dad’s family in Rocky Point. 



I love picking up Jane from preschool. I love hearing her stories. 


Proof that there was a moment where we were decorated for Thanksgiving. 





The most epic sand castle. 






October


These pictures uploaded a little out of order which is kind of frustrating. October was a very exciting month. Still warm, but cool enough to start living outside again. We finally were able to really start enjoying our backyard! We went looking for fall in the mountains. We decorated for Halloween and did all kinds of Halloween festivities. We love the holidays in our family! 

We borrowed my parents screen and protector to watch Toy Story 4 in our backyard. It was a really fun night. I had all kinds of candy and popcorn for the kids. 


We went on a hike in Payton looking for fall leaves. We went a little too early, but we did find a few! 


We ran through the sprinklers and played duck duck goose with buckets of water. I love watching these girls have fun together. 



We had the Cordner’s over for a “spooky Dinner”. We had homemade chicken noodle soup, fresh baked bread and a fun spooky dessert. We had a donut eating contest which was super fun. 


I always love the costume parade! 


Look at that happy face! 



Getting ready to head out trick or treating


Our trunk won 1st place at the Trunk or Treat! 


I just love this picture of her smiling. Her little note she wrote on the couch with her cute letters. She is adorable. 


Making sugar cookies. 



I threw a baby shower for our relief society president in our back yard. It was the best day! 


More of our hike! Look at those yellow leaves sprinkling in through the trees! 





Our Spooky dinner dessert


The food displays for the baby shower


Dress ups all day every day



I love these girls! Eliza hated hated hated the hiking back pack. It was all I could do to keep her in there. The second half she mostly walked or Kyle carried her. 



I love these selfies. I love having them all wrapped around me. 




Picking out our pumpkins! 


Trick or treating! Eliza loved it. She was really getting the hang of it, although we couldn’t get her to say trick or treat. Or thank you. She’ll get there. 


Me... all October. 


Our traditional tent in the family room for conference





One of my all time favorite pictures. I adore this family of mine. 



Lady Bug and Cat Noir! 


Sweetest little baby at the school carnival


Waiting for everyone to come to our movie night! 



The candy haul! 



It was Abby’s first women’s conference! I had so much fun taking her and watching her take notes/draw pictures in her little journal. Then we went to dinner with Mema, Halee and Nettie. I was so excited to share this experience with her. It was an incredible conference. 


These are the days. 


Our Halloween dinner. 


Trick or treating! 


Abby got it in her head that she wanted to make stuffed animals. So everyone went out and picked out a fabric and I helped her sew them. She traced the patter and cut them out. I used the machine to sew them, then she stuffed them and hand sewed the bottom closed. They turned out so cute! 


We finished the first Harry Potter book and watched the movie. This started a reading marathon. We read the next two books and watched the movies. I love how much they all look forward to reading every single night. Now we are reading Fablehaven. 


Getting our teeth cleaned at Daddy’s office! 



This girl and her poses! 


The new young women’s theme. Its such a good one. 







The finished stuffed animals 


I had a cute sign in book and encouraging words for the mom to be. 



Menchies! The girls absolute favorite ice cream place. Me and Kyle not so much. 


I was Snow White for the trunk or treat. 








The cake I made for the spooky dinner at my parents house!
