Happy Birthday Grandma!

My Grandma turned 75 on October 29th and we wanted to do something special for her. Robby had an idea of having her play on the organ at the Tabernacle on Temple Square. My grandma has played the organ forever and she does it so well. A friend of a friend of a friend etc of my parents hooked us up and made it possible for my grandma to meet with Clay Christiansen (Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Organist) and play a couple songs for us. It was great to hear her play on such a beautiful organ. We love you Grandma!


Owen wouldn't stay quiet in the Tabernacle so he got to play with Daddy outside...

Halloween 2010...

Rylie with her loot after trick-or-treating...(poor Ethan was sick that day and only lasted for a little bit trick-or-treating...he was already asleep at this point...)


Ethan the dinosaur...Owen the lion...Rylie the witch...
and Aunt Kaitlin the ladybug...


We tried to carve out the inside and put Owen in it with his legs poking out the bottom...Owen is just too chubby (or the pumpkin wasn't big enough)

1st haircut...

Owen had his 1st haircut on 10-23-10. He was looking pretty shaggy so we decided it was time...Owen did so well. He just sat there watching what the lady was doing...it was so cute.

10 months...

Owen turned 10 months old on October 19th. Owen is into everything. He loves to take everything out of the kitchen drawers and be under the kitchen table. He is starting to crawl down the stairs backwards. Owen is now refusing to eat most baby food. He just wants to eat whatever we are eating. He still loves his bottle and is getting better with his sippy cup. Owen loves bananas and bread. He is saying dada and mama more...

Field Trip and UEA

Rylie's preschool had a field trip to Black Island Farms (back in October) so Owen and I tagged along. The kids got to go on a hayride and pick out a pumpkin. Then they got to play in the kids courtyard. Rylie had a great time...

We took the kids to a trout farm in North Ogden over UEA. The kids have been asking to go fishing and this is how Coulter and I do fishing I guess...Ethan had a great time and Rylie was excited after Ethan started catching fish. (Owen was passed out in the stroller the whole time...)

The next day we all went to Black Island Farms. We went on the hayride and everyone picked out a pumpkin. Then Ethan and Rylie got to play on everything and go through the cornmaze.



Do you like Owen's hair in this pic? He was not happy about going down the slide...

Student of the Month...

Ethan got "Student of the Month" for September for having a positive attitude. We are so proud of Ethan. He loves going to school and is so working hard. His teacher says that he always has a smile on his face. Ethan's teacher wrote down while she chose Ethan on the back of his certificate. He carried it around all day reading what it said to Rylie...it was hilarious!
