October 2017

Since we were in California for Bryn's actual birthday, we had to wait until October to do her party.  We had about 20 girls over and they had a blast.  I just love her little group of friends and the new friends she is making in kindergarten this year.  The theme for the party was Pizza, Pajamas and Play.  Which is exactly what they did.














Jaymi had a little tea party for the Miss Herriman pageant and since I was out of town Aunt Emily did her hair.



The last baseball game of the season was an indoor costume party.  Doesn't get much better that that!





Our trip to Roosevelt for Luke's Baptism was the last time we saw Grandma Ruth.  I'm so glad I captured these pictures and only wish I would have soaked in more of that time with her.  She looked so good and seemed to be doing so well.  I will forever cherish my relationship with her and the relationships my girls got to have with their Great Grandmother.





Bryn is lucky to have Claire and Livy over every Tuesday while their little brother Noah goes to music class across the street.  They were so excited to find two Cinderella dresses downstairs.


Bryn was beyond excited to test out the new practice leo she brought home one night.


I love our wall with our most recent family pictures.


Last minute trip to the Pumpkin Patch!



Jaymi has been taking the lead from her peers and walks around "reading" the chapter book she picked out at the book fair.


Jaymi and her cute buddy Mia Cox.  These two have had a special bond since day one as Mia's journey home was an important part in guiding us to Jaymi.


We made it just in the nick of time to send Kaili out on her honeymoon.  Bryn is so devistated that we almost missed her but maybe more that the cake was cleaned up.  ha ha.





The girls all dolled up for Jaymi's night escorting her cute cheer coach during the Miss Herriman Pageant.  She had so much fun and of course hammed it up on the stage.










Jaymi and the other Little Miss's at the Miss Herriman Pageant.


Her cute coach brought her flowers and treats to say thank you for helping her.


Our favorite coach Heidi sent us this picture from back when Jaymi did the special needs gymnastic program at Olympus.  I reached out to the mom of this girl who is now a gymnast at Stanford and she wrote the nicest text.  I had no idea she was so touched by working with Jaymi.

"Oh my gosh!!! Hailee still talks about your daughter and I tear up every time I look at that photo because she means so much to Hailee!"


Jaymi getting all cozy watching her show on the stairs.


My friend Dawn was so sweet to take me out for breakfast on my birthday.  We just couldn't decide what we wanted so we split these three delicious items.  Actually we didn't make it to the burrito but I was able to have it for lunch which was awesome!


Halloween party was Grandma Amy's was so much fun!



We made the cutest Mummy pizza's!

Girls being silly "best sisters" one night while we carved pumpkins.







Wayne's carving skills with kitchen knives always impresses us.


 School Halloween Parade





Still winning "ships" with team Baby Mamas.  This particular team has a total of 16 kids between us.  And thats with one childless Payton.  Hopefully by the time she is ready to have kids we haven't scared her too much with our huddle talk :)



Bryn's cute school Halloween party




Halloween had the most beautiful sunset when we headed out to Trick or Treat.





We had an amazing turnout at the Down Syndrome Mom's Night.  Love connecting with old friends and making new ones.
