Josh and Kristi = Love





Josh and Kristi got married...4 months ago! I couldn't leave this big event out. Their day was perfect. Seriously. Every little detail was amazing. Kristi was an incredibly beautiful bride and Josh was a pretty handsome groom. I wish I could say that my child was perfect that day, but I cannot tell a lie. She was terrible. I don't know what was up, but she wouldn't even let JP hold her. I had to hold her at all times or she would scream. Josh and Kristi got married in the Salt Lake Temple and had their reception in my parent's backyard. Obviously, many of these pictures were taken by their photographer Creatively Chic.
Even their announcement was incredible. Liz, my SIL, made them and I've never seen anything like them. Post a picture, Liz! They had a waffle bar with all sorts of toppings. They were the absolute BEST waffles I've ever had. They had coloring books telling their story for the kids, and the best part was the dance floor. Brecken perked up when the music started playing and enjoyed the rest of the night.

We couldn't get those glasses off of her.

My grandparents. Awww. Aren't they the cutest ever? I love this picture.
My mom, Mckenna, Hollie, Brecken, and yours truly.

Sisters and Mama.

Look at her skirt in the back :)

What a handsome grandpa.
Whew! We made it. Congratulations. We love you guys!!!!
We biked less than ever this year, but the few times we did get to go were beautiful!


Des and Beeta = Debeetas
I was determined to go see the changing leaves every chance we got. We went on lots of picnics, hikes, and bike rides with Brecken. This spot was unbelievable. It was 360 degrees of gorgeousness.
Precious, slobbery kisses.
Brecken posed this shot and told JP to sit like that. I love it.
We couldn't leave Bode out of it.

Some self-timer shots. Not too shabby, right?

Look at that streak of yellow.
Breck and JP at Stewart Falls.
Hiking at Sundance. I love Utah.
Another hike to a waterfall. Brecken wakes up and begs us to take her hiking or biking.
Suckers make me happy! Goodbye Fall!

Kinny, Jack, and Baby Gourdy

I think we went to every pumpkin patch in Utah Valley this year. Brecken became very attached to her pumpkin named Kinny. She slept with Kinny, carried her around in her backpack or purse, and took her with us everywhere we went. We told her she couldn't take her on our hike and she was very concerned. All throughout our hike she asked about Kinny and we had to reassure her that Kinny was fine. Since Brecken stored Kinny in her backpack, she started to rot pretty quickly and we were worried about Breck having to part with Kinny.

This was a pumpkin patch in Orem. Yep, we couldn't leave the tutu behind.
Good thing we went to a pumpkin patch in Santaquin with Josh and Kristi where Brecken found a new pumpkin and gourd, and named them Jack and Gourdy. Gourdy's pretty little so she now refers to him as baby Gourdy. When the day finally came to get rid of Kinny, we simply told Breck that she was old and yucky. Brecken looked at Kinny and said, "Kinny old? Yucky? Oh. Gawbage. Sleeping." and put her in the garbage to go to sleep. I don't know if she'll be so casual when Jack and Gourdy decide to rot.


These pictures are from Cornbellies at Thanksgiving Point. It was pretty cold, but Brecken could've stayed forever. Her favorite things were the cow train, dressing up as Snow White, seeing the pig races, the pumpkins (of course), and all the slides.


Wamewon, Aw-gog, and Picnic

Bieber and his biggest fan (true story, Joshua Bruce and Justin Bieber have the same initials). These pictures are totally out of order, but I thought I better start posting now or I'll never do it again. It's been SIX months since I last posted. That means I have a whole computer full of pictures driving me crazy! I'm still trying to decide if I should backtrack or just recommit now.
Wamewon, a-gog, and picnic. Breck really loved her watermelon costume and was pretty excited that we were dressing up too. I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but this year might have made me a fan. Brecken was so cute trick-or-treating and said, "I want more canny" every time we asked if she was ready to go home yet. She has been carrying around her bucket and sleeping with it ever since. Surprisingly, she's not really eating the candy though?!

The watermelon and the Zombie. Couldn't be any more different.
Laying out the goods. I MIGHT have eaten that Symphony in two days.
The After-after party with Josh and Kristi.
Bieber loves wieners!
...Or, wieners love Bieber. Josh made me do it.


We ran into the CUTEST little bugs out there. Lori's amazing. She adopted little Etta last August and found out she was pregnant with Stella shortly after. Her little ones are just 8 months apart and as sweet as can be.


Little miss attitude.

Grandma Shelle. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
