Lilly, Austin, Nathan and Tommy

The Children's Museum

Austin had a lot of fun at The Children's Museum with his cousins

Gwen and Easton. There were so many fun activities I couldn't

believe his favorite part was sitting on the toy cars.

My Costume: A Bun in the Oven

Trevor's family flew us home for his brother Kelby's homecoming. We made it just in time for their family Halloween Party and were able to announce our new family addition.

Autumn in Nauvoo

We went to Nauvoo for Stake Conference. Afterwards, we met some friends in a park to eat lunch. They have some older children who made a big pile of leaves. Austin was in heaven playing in them all.

Austin and "Dewa"

Austin is crazy about our dog Bella. His first words had everything to do with her. One day Bella wasn't listening very well. I told her to "sit" a little impatiently and I guess it caught his attension. He kept saying "siii". Unfortunately it has sounded like a similar word much of the time. His next word was said while I was throwing a frisbee for Bella in a park. I yelled her name and all of a sudden he was saying it too. I think if I go around shouting he'll be saying all kinds of words in no time. His favorite word right now is "no". It was really cute at first but I think I prefer "Dewa" (Bella). This last week he's started having bursts of frustration too. He yells, stomps his feet, claps his hands and spins in a 360 degree circle. I'm sure an all out tantrum is coming soon.
