So big changes...we've moved back to Utah for a year and have been crazy busy spending time with family and getting ready for the holidays. It has been so fun being close to family. Here are a few random photos for you....
Hailey LOVES the snow. I love this photo because it reminds me of the wonder I found in looking up at the snow when I was little. Unfortunately, she has also learned the consequences of playing in the snow without gloves and the crazy pain of fingers that cold. Oh yeah, and the coat? Kid to Kid for $9 - love that place!
My boy has grown up so much! Now fifteen months he walks all over - although he's still a little tippy and has all sorts of bruises and scratches on his head/face. He has 15 teeth with the 16th bulging under the surface. He's 24 lbs and 32" tall. Much better than his little man weight/height at the beginning. He adores Hailey and loves to wake her up after nap time. He says cute simple words like "mow" (more), "soc" (sock), "dat do" (thank you), "pee boo" (peek-a-boo), and a few others. He's so fun to have around. 
Levi loves his beanie. He wears it around the house. The day this photo was taken he wore it for half an hour before taking it off.
Halloween was so fun. We went trick-or-treating in the pouring rain and had so much fun. Hailey was a little uncertain at the first few houses but as she saw the candy in her bucket she broke out of her shell and said everything herself. "Trick or treat. Thank you. Have a good night. See you later." It was cute. She was so annoyed that I made her wear anything under her dress and a raincoat over, but she got over it quickly once we got outside. Levi was so cute in his lion costume but didn't really understand the concept of walking around in the rain for an hour and a half.
I found Hailey in her underwear by Matt dresser pulling his clothes out. I asked her what she was doing and she replied, "I want to be Daddy." I laughed and told her I'd help her. I used to do this to my nieces and nephews all the time when I was a teenager. It was fun to do it to my own daughter. You can't see them, but she even has on Matt's white-tities and school name badge.
I bet you couldn't guess who designed our jack-o-lantern.
Hailey and Zoe. Her Santa present from last year - one of our best buys!
Levi had no interest in his birthday cake at first. He was just upset at me for taking away his watermelon. He sobbed through the song and even afterwards as I put chocolate into his mouth. He stopped instantly when I gave his watermelon back.
Hailey's 3rd birthday! We celebrated with lots of friends at the Collierville water park. We wouldn't usually go somewhere so extravagant for a third birthday, but we knew we wouldn't be seeing many of our friends for a long while so we decided to make it a big bash. We had so much fun!
