Family Time

It's the last few days of fall, and that is sad. It is sad because I'm just now feeling energetic enough to go outside and it's getting too cold to go outside (with a little baby). Today we had a great time on the trampoline--ALL of us were out there--Charlie was in his car seat. The rest of us jumped. We played a game and watched the kids do 'tricks'. It was so much fun. I looked around at my family and felt so thankful for them.

Fall Family Tradition

Every year we go to Berri Park on Middle Mountain and take fall pictures. First time as a family of 5 and it went really well. Some of us slept the whole time.... Some of us played the whole time....Others were perfect models..... (can you believe this picture? how grown up she looks?!) First picture of the 3 kids together.

This is a tradition that started in '02. Jesse pretends to look for whoever is on the rock. Don't know why, but we take this every year.

My Day

I get to spend most of my day with these two little guys....While I miss my daughter a lot, I absolutely love hanging out with them....

With a face like that, who can blame me?!

Newborn Pics

Here are some newborn pictures I took of Charlie.

Choo Choo Bridge

While my time is very unevenly divided lately, I try to sit down with Jonah at least once a day for some mommy/son #1 time. We expanded the choo choo bridge Dad had built with some actual wooden track and decorative blocks.

It even has a hill. Jonah likes and and as I speak is blowing the train whistle you see laying on the couch in the picture.
