10 months

10 months! She's finally getting around to where she wants to go--army crawl style. Unless dad is there, and then she insists that he picks her up. She can stand up to things, but can't pull herself up yet. She needs her little blanket in order to suck on her thumb. She's our best sleeper at the moment. She's learned that if she can make it to the kitchen table, she's guaranteed to find crumbs. She sits herself up. She's started dancing when she hears music. (Which I think is the cutest.) 

Still the most common question I get asked about her: "is she always this happy?"
The honest answer is no, of course not. (During this little photo shoot for example.)
But mostly, yes. 

She has some pretty great brothers. Lucky girl.

I just can't pick a favorite anymore. Tyler (who dislikes taking these photos the most) 

just pulls too many faces!

The big 30

This weekend we celebrated my 30th birthday!
Travis' cousin, Kristen, got married and I took photos for them at the temple. We spent a good chunk of the day out in Brigham celebrating her and Gavin. :)
The night before we went to the fun park (cause there's nothing to do in Logan in the winter with 3 little kids.) The boys loved the jungle gym. We had some fun playing games.
So far, 30 feels the same as 29. 

We went down to Salt Lake and looked at some couches.
Grandma Stradley took us to the new Butterfly exhibit  at Thanksgiving point, but we didn't stay long enough to see the butterflies cause the line was huge. The playground was fun though.

Baby girl is trying harder to pull herself up on things and is enjoying standing a little more.

The boys asked if we could make popcorn and watch zootopia the other day. I love how there is so much joy in things so simple for these kids.

The boys helped Travis clean the bathrooms the other day and loved every minute of it.

Happy New Year 2019

January is kind of flying by. We ended the year at my family's cabin for New year's eve.
The boys loved their super short 4 wheeler rides and sledding down the huge hill.
(Well, mostly sliding on their bums.) 

We got to meet up with Amanda and Walker as well as Steph Pants and her little family for lunch during Christmas break. So great to see them!
We've spent some decent hours couch shopping...
And took our 6th annual bench photo on our anniversary.

Her huge, open mouth is our current favorite.

Sometimes we just decide to take random selfies...

Sam likes to try and help Tyler get buckled into this carseat. :)
Tyler was enjoying some tablet time while eating his cereal, and I took all 3 kids

up to campus to sit at a table to try and recruit people to come play handball. 

I love these 3 kids.

The boys really do like going to play outside. Even if it's just for a few minutes.
And I'm still in love with our backyard view.

We went to Pier 49 pizza the other day. Apparently for the first time in nearly 2 years. (Back when we tried out all of the pizza places in Logan, which I never even blogged about...)
This is how much has changed.
