..September 2013..

September started off with Labor Day and no school.

So we took the kids bowling...

They had so much fun!

Here are some "action" shots!

 I love the beginning of September...

We get to celebrate this cutie!

She turned 2 on the 3rd.

Daddy is out of town so we are not 

really celebrating till this weekend when he gets back.

Even still you have to do SOMETHING on your

REAL birthday!!

So we put a candle in her breakfast cereal.

She thought that was pretty great!

 Then we went to lunch.. just her and me!

It was great!

 They brought out a dessert and sang her happy birthday!

I think this is going to have to be a mother daughter tradition.

She did get a few cards in the mail, so we let her

open those.  More to come about the birthday 

celebration in the next post.

Happy Birthday Lia!

We LOVE you dearly!!!

She LOVES to play airplane!

That HAIR!!!

When dad's out of town everyone takes turns

and gets to sleep with me.

Tonight Kyle and Jack wanted to sleep with me.

Once they fell asleep..there was no room for me.

Today we had a HUGE storm.  

Steven was a bit freaked out!

He had to come with me wherever i went.  

Here we are going to the store.

Poor guy had to cover his eyes and get comfort by

sucking his thumb...

I know he's 8, but I LOVE this picture..

even with the sucking thumb!

Today Lia got a "Big Girl Bed"

She did so well!

I was pretty impressed!

Today, September 9th is our 13th wedding anniversary!

Wow!!

And...he's out of town!

 So I celebrated with some dear friends by seeing 

"The Butler"

I'm lucky to have such great friends who will go out

with me for my wedding anniversary..

 Me, Jamie, Aimee, Kristina, and Holly...

Thanks girls!

When the little boys do their homework..

Lia needs to be doing her work right beside them.

These 3 are the best of friends!

It just warms my heart!

 Grandma Julie got Lia this cute table and chairs

for her birthday..

She LOVES it!

 Soccer season for these 2 has come to an end!

They did so good!

Today we celebrated Lia's Birthday!

I just love our princess!

Luke drew this picture at school....

I'm not quite sure what to do about it!

I know he would LOVE a dog...

Hopefully sooner than later....

BYU Football is in full swing.

And she's already a fan...

a really cute fan!

Kyle and Lia get along so well.

They are really close and love to play together.

I went to check on Lia and this is what I found!

Loving her CareBear, her cute diaper bum,

and Julie Baby wrapped up in HER blanket!

Now that's true love!

At the end of the month we (friends) ran

the Color Me Rad 5K.

It was so much fun!

 The Before

The After

Holly, Aimee, Wendy, Alicia, Raichl, Mandy, Me

I have such great friends!!

Wow September was so much fun!
