Johnny's favorite thing to read is "Meewho with an Exactlywatt". I love our story time together in the afternoons.
These two just make me smile. They love each other so much!
Joey learned to tripod sit like a boss! Honestly, he's probably been able to do it for a while, but it only now occurred to me that he's old enough to do it. I'm in completely denial that he's growing up!
The pumpkin patch yielded some pretty awesome pumpkins! The lumina whites and the blue moon and blue jarradale varieties did the best...but the fairy tales were everyone's favorite. Unfortunately we only got a few of those. We'll have to plant more next year!
We finished 3rd and 4th Nephi, and celebrated with root beer floats. So far we haven't missed a single day of reading!
Danny's hobby of smoking meat has become a family affair. :)
Sophie has such a great group of friends. There are so many girls in the ward and neighborhood that are her age...and 3 of them got baptized on the same day as her! The primary room as sparkling white with all these girls in their beautiful baptism dresses!
Half a year already passed us! Time is going by so quickly!
Seriously, this face tho.
BYU vs Mississippi State was Claire's game this year!
It was homecoming night, and the weather was gorgeous.
It's so fun that these games are such an event for the family. What treasured memories these will be!
And we won!! Go Cougs!
Joseph got his second hair cut, and he looks like such a stud! I'm realizing, though, that I'm out of my depth with all this cowlicks. I need some training on how to cut his hair better!
We finished Mormon! Raspberry-filled donuts for the treat...Johnny had just dropped his on the floor and just couldn't pull himself together for a photo. Still haven't missed a day of reading. The streak lives!
During my baby shower for Joey, I received these cute dino jammies. They immediately reminded me of Lukey's slippers that he wore all the time. It made me so happy to see Joey channeling his big brother, just like a little brother should. :)
Hair cuts in time for family pictures! We love our hair girl, Breanne. She does such an awesome job. Except the girls get older and prettier every time we go there!
Papa took Claire, Sophie, and Johnny to see the Spooktacular show at the children's theater. They had a blast!
There is nothing glamorous or cute about this picture...except for Claire and Joey. This is my #momlife. I love it.
Joey FINALLY rolled over!!! Yay!!
Ok, this is the single greatest picture I have ever gotten of any of our children. I only snapped the picture because I figured it would be the last of Joseph's sink-baths, since he's getting so big. He totally struck this pose of his own doing, and I just died laughing!! This boy is too much!
We got to be a part of Taija's baptism this month. In fact, since Danny is a bishop he was able to preside. It was such a neat evening, and it meant we got to spend some time hanging with our good friends, the Robisons! We love that they are living so much closer now!
The kindergarten costume parade. My handsome Johnny is so much bigger than the other kids!!
He was so excited to have me there...but not nearly as excited as he was to show off his baby brother. :)
This kid has learned how to hold his own bottle. Every milestone simultaneously makes me delighted and breaks my heart. He's growing up so fast!
The Martins threw an awesome Halloween party this year!
We might just have to throw a party of our own next Halloween. :)
