CANDY APPLES

We've had loads of fresh apples off our apple tree in the backyard, 

and there is nothing quite as fun as candy apples around Halloween time.

My brother Christian helped Connor and I make them.

The only thing that isn't perfect about these apples is the fact that Connor couldn't resist licking each one of them like a lollipop after he put the stick in it.  I still think they taste delicious ;)

CONNOR'S FIRST HAIR CUT

This week Connor got his first hair cut ever!

Ah, SO CUTE!!!!

BEWITCHED

Loved this "Bewitched" party by Hostess With the Mostess.

What a fun blog site to look at!

Tomorrow Connor and I will be bewitching our home with Halloween.

Love this time of year!

DEAR LIZZY WITH THE GIRLS

A couple weeks ago my girlfriends and I decided we needed some girl time.

So we left the kiddos and husbands home and headed out.

I've been wanting to go to Dear Lizzy in Alpine for a couple years, so we headed up there.

Aren't my friends so fabulous?  I've seriously been wanting to go for two years! 

And can I say HEAVEN!  

Loved everything about this store, we grabbed a light lunch and headed into downtown Salt Lake. 

The damage...

All this shopping made us hungary so we grabbed some pizza.

And if you're feeling bad for the husbands at home with the kids, don't.  They had just as much fun having a football party eating guy food and hitting the sporting good stores.

Cute girls :) 

Thanks to my dear girlfriends for the great time!

FERTILITY GIFT

Meet our newest adoptee.

Huey

He was given to me as a good luck fertility gift.

He's sweet and loves to hide in the plants around the house.

Here is Connor holding his brother Buford who was adopted by my brother.

Connor is of course crazy about the bunny.  He can't stop kissing it.

K'NAAN - Wavin' Flag

I know this song has been out for a while, but we happen to LOVE it!  So if you haven't seen the music video, watch it! Remember to pause the music player. This song will make you happy :)

SUMMER FUN

 I've been terrible at taking photos this summer, but we've sure been having a lot of fun!!!

I'm so lucky to have my cute neighbor girls who are always up for park days, movies, the zoo.  Here are some photos I have taken.

My parents are remodeling their house this summer, so we've been seeing an extra lot of Christian and Matt and it's been so fun having them around!  Connor loves when his uncles sleep over! 

If you know Connor well you know he is head over hills in love with Riley!  The whole time at the zoo he was yelling Riley, Rhett, Riley, Rhett!!!!!  Some of our best friends in the whole world, what would we do without the Merrills?

I also couldn't ask for better neighbors!!!  Here is Connor with our next door neighbor Shannon at the movies.  Whenever we go outside he points to Shannon's house and asks me where the "pretty girl" is.  Shannon is known to laugh hysterically, like stop breathing she's laughing so hard, we love having her around! 

We headed up to Eden over the 24th of July.  My little brother Matt got his Eagle in scouts so my grandparents took the extended family to the Red Moose Lodge to celebrate.  We had about seventy people, it was a BLAST!!!!

Connor had so much fun, he loves nothing more than to be around kids! 

I really wish I would have taken more photos.  

We went on a pretty fun mountain bike trail.  My poor cousin Jenifer fell on her bike and got a pretty swollen eye.  When we asked if she was okay she had blood dripping from her eye put her hands in the air and told us it was the funnest bike ride she's ever been on!  

I can't thank my grandparents enough for the years and years of trips they've taken us on.  

Some of my best memories will always be with my Grandparents and cousins :)

Connor has also been upgraded from his crib to a twin bed.  The puppies sleep with him every night, Connor loves Elle and Bruiser, who needs stuffed animals when you have the real things?

Hope you're all having a wonderful Summer too!
