Elle - 5 months

We are figuring out life with our little girl and love interacting with her! Babies are so much fun at this stage!

Elle's 5 month stats:

• We have a routine going which is nice for baby and momma. Helps me read her cues and keep her happy!
• Met Grandma B. for the first time. She loves Grandma cuddles
• Really starting to grab things these days (mom's hair, smaller parts of toys - her recent favorite is fairy/princess wands)
• Met Santa for the first time and spat up all over his cottage floor :)
• Giving us great smiles and even giggles these days. We never know what will get her laughing but once something gets her going, we're happy to oblige! 

Hands and milk are about the only thing she likes in her mouth!

Happy 5 months Elle!

Kaylee's 27th Birthday

"One year older and wiser too..." Lots of great things happened in my 26th year so here's to hoping my 27th is just as great! We did a family dinner on Sunday before my actual birthday where we enjoyed presents and a yummy chocolate ripple cake Phil made! 

Jayne loved helping me open my presents, and even wanted to wear a few of my clothing items :)

She's a pretty cute birthday treat too :)

On my actual birthday I was spoiled with presents, going out for birthday lunch (with my parents and Phil & girls) and dinner out as well. We had a special present at dinner as someone sitting near us saw our little family and that it was my birthday and paid for our entire meal. I honestly was speechless and near tears. Such a small act of service that I'll never forget. After dinner we came home and opened a few presents from Phil and the girls. It was a prefect day. Here's to year 27 with my cute family!

Halloween 2015

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We started off the season by carving pumpkins. Jocelyn joined in on our carving fun this year. She did Boo, I did the minion and Phil did Mater.

Jayne was excited to wear her super "bwooo" (blue) dress every time we put it on. She got to wear it a few times, for Phil's work party, to trick-or-treat at the Riverwoods and on actual Halloween. When we went to Phil's work, its on BYU campus so Jayne got so many adoring looks from students and faculty as she walked around. She loved telling us she had an "S-dress, wike daddy's S-shirt".

We went with the whole "super" theme this year with both girls being super girls. I mean, who wouldn't want to put their little baby girl in this cute tutu outfit!? She is soooooo cute!

My super girlies! 

Phil and I joined in on the fun as Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Jayne liked matching "daddy's S-shirt"

It was fun to take Jayne trick-or-treating because she actually comprehended what was going on this year. Poor little thing was pretty sick and worn out but she just asked us to carry her between houses and would still say "trick-or-treat" and then "anudder house" after she'd received her treats. :) She lasted a fair bit making it through the trunk-or-treat and my parent's neighborhood. She got quite the loot for being a sick little girl. Halloween was definitely more fun this year with a kid who understood it all and was excited. Kids make holidays so much fun!
