Let's PARTY!

Time to PARTY!!! We went to a couple of birthday parties this weekend, for two of Owen's good friends.

Ryder's birthday party

After the party we joined Ryder's family for sushi.......that's right......we hit up the sushi place to celebrate Ryder's birthday. I'm sure everyone in that restaurant hated us! Good food though.

The next day was Sofia's party at Tumbleweeds Gymnastics.

Adler had fun bouncing on the trampoline.

This is where Owen's party will be in a few weeks and he is READY!!!

Welcome Winter

We had our first snow fall this past weekend. Winter is officially here. Micah and Owen went straight to work on a giant snow man.

Impressive.....

Just Because.....

I love that my kids love to read!

Owen loves making forts in the living room. He even invites Adler to come in occasionally.

Check out Adler's first pony tail.

Doing dishes....

Adler's One Year Photos

My mom gave us an amazing baby gift when Adler as born, and that was a baby photography package from Johnstone Studios that included 4 photo shoots capturing Adler throughout her first year of life. About a month ago we had her fourth and final shoot and I am thrilled with the results (just as I have been all year long)!

We tried to get more sibling pictures, but Owen wasn't in the mood. This is the best we got....not bad of both my kiddos.

This is when she was still learning to walk.

Carson River Trail

About a week ago we took a walk around the Carson River Trail. Owen is now very excited about riding his bike and thought it was fun riding on the dirt. We were about a week late for the gorgeous fall colors, but did manage to catch the end of it .

Very serious.....

Taking a break so the dogs could swim.

I love this photo of Adler......she looks like a little person here (rather than a baby).

Walking with Dolls

Adler still loves her baby dolls. She cuddles them, kisses them and carries them around the house. I never remember Owen doing this.....it's very interesting how different boys and girls are.

Adler's First

We're a little behind on this, but Adler is lucky it got done at all! When Owen turned a year we created a video compiling photos and videos of his first year of life. Since we made one for Owen we really wanted to make one for Miss Adler too.....it just took us a little longer to accomplish! Enjoy!

Hot Springs

Ahhhhh.......there's nothing like a late night swim at the Hot Springs!

Nevada Day

Every Halloween weekend is also Nevada Day, so it always becomes a very busy weekend for us. Here are some pictures from the parade on Saturday morning.

Ryder and Owen had front row seats!

Then we had a nice lunch at the Firkin & Fox

Enjoying the band with a little dancing.
