9 months old

Today our little Isac is 9 months old. It seems a life time ago he came into our lives. He has changed so much the past month. In the past month he got 5 new teeth, he learned to crawl on hands and knees (no more scooting), he pulls himself up on everything (he really likes the dishwasher). He likes to play peek-a-boo, he can clap, and roll a ball back to you. He crawls up the stairs (only fallen once) and can walk if he's pushing something. He seems to have grown up all of a sudden. We love our little monster.

my children being stalked

Yesterday I took my 3 kids to the Hogle zoo. I felt very brave taking them by myself. It was a beautiful day and the zoo was empty, so we had a wonderful time. When we got to the Leopard exhibit the Leopard was going nuts. The kids loved it. Watch the kids carefully, they are hilarious when they jump.

He had already been doing this for 5 minutes, so he was getting tired.

Go Cougars

Yesterday Kevin got 2 tickets from his boss for the BYU Men's Basketball game. They were the CEO's tickets so they were pretty good. First they fed us dinner from Magelby's. Then at our seats, which were 2nd row on floor, were goodie bags with drinks and snacks in them. During halftime you go to a room where they had cookies, popcorn, drinks and candy bars. Talk about treatment. Oh the game was good too. Quite the experience.

We beat the other team by 40 points. It was fun to be right there with them. Kevin kept saying they look so small close up.

We took Isaac with us and he was in shock the whole time. He never made a sound. He just sat on my lap and watched. I couldn't even get him to stand up for the picture. He's eyes were wide. The minute we walked onto the court he just looked at all the lights and stared. Every time the horn sounded he would jump a little. He eventually fell asleep during the 2nd half.

Happy birthday Traci.

A bit late

I know I'm a bit behind posting these pictures, but It's been a busy week. We are so glad Traci, Tami, and the kids got to come and stay. We really enjoyed having them.

Somehow Isaac lost his diaper, what a cute little tooshy.


I love Olivia's cheeser grin

Traci helped the kids make some really cute cupcakes with bugs made out of candy. Logan is very proud of his. I'm not sure what is up with Haley, and Maddison took all of her candy off before she ate it (she's not so fond of candy). You can see Traci's example in the background of Maddisons picture.

Yanking the guts out of the pumpkins.

Haley's happy pumpkin. She carved most of it by herself.

Maddison's poor pumpkin had an accident, but it looked really cool.

Logan wanted a scary pumpkin.

Group shot. Kevin's pumpkin looked like Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas. The kids had to have showers after carving.

Happy Halloween

Monte L Bean Museum

We took a trip to the Monte L Bean Museum on BYU campus one day, because we thought all the kids would enjoy it. Well Olivia did not. She took one look into the museum and turned around and walked out. We took her in anyways and she covered her eyes the entire time. Traci finally took her out while we let the other kids enjoy. We really thought Olivia would like it because she loves animals. I guess she likes them alive better.

This is a picture Kevin likes to do with our kids and now Boston is getting in on the action.

Everyone but Olivia in front of the Lions.


Olivia is trying to hide in the stroller. She did open her eyes long enough to give me her cheese picture grin.

Isaac was having a good time. Aren't his two little teeth cute. He has 4 more coming in right now, so this smile was a rare thing.

Maddison has such beautiful big eyes.

They just enjoy being outside.

Maddison really wanted to make a snow angel on this trip and this was the best she could get.

Halloween

Halloween is really fun around here. Every year Omniture throws a huge Halloween party, where they decorate all the offices and let he kids come trick or treat. The decorations get pretty out of control. This year they had a talking and moving dragon, a football field (for which they brought in real sod) where it was BYU VS Utah, candy land, Gotham City and more. So we dress up and go there for a couple of hours, come home eat dinner and then we're off to trick or treat around the neighborhood.

Haley and Jack Kevin was playing with the camera again.


What a group.

Olivia wasn't very good at posing.

Our beautiful Snow White.

She looks older than she is.

Beauty and the Beast.

He looked so good. I Got a lot of compliments on his costume.

Sleeping Beauty

Haley with the BYU cheerleaders. These were the real cheerleaders who were at the Omniture Party for pictures.

The cheerleaders came up to me and asked me if they could take their picture with Logan, because he had the cutest costume they saw all day.
That's my boy, already hanging with the cheerleaders.

Maddison with Cosmo the BYU Cougar.

Rah Rah Rah GO Cougars. Again Omniture goes all out for their party. They had the BYU mascot and the Utah Ute mascot.

You can make this picture big and check out Tiff'any and my earrings. We had to answer a byu football question and they made these earrings for us.
