Fall, baby cuteness & chewing on a prophet

This cutie got her first "haircut" this week. I just trimmed the long pieces on top that hadn't fallen out yet. Looks just a bit less messy. :)

We had a rough couple days with some croup at our house.
Thanksfully baby didn't get it too bad though.

Ended up taking an afternoon trip to Salt Lake and finally used our Menchie's gift card for some frozen yogurt. Tyler also found a great way to ride in the cart at Target.

This boy just adores his sister. :)

Little girl likes to chew on everything. She can also get around now, which means I apparently need to be more watchful. Found her chewing on Pres. Monson the other day...

💖💖💖

She's just so cute!! And had her first ride in the grocery cart without the carrier.

We've had some nice fall days. Boys love the parks.

I will never tire of this view.

These boys just know how to make her laugh.

I've been meaning to record this forever. Tyler loves to pick "We're going on a bear hunt" for bedtime story. One time, Travis scared him by saying "IT'S A BEAR!!" Really loud. So he's always sure to tell me not to do that now. :)

St. George 2018

Annual trip to St. George was a blast! It was much cooler than it has been in about a decade.
We went down a day early and had some fun swimming and exploring with the kids.

Tyler woke up the first night and was hysterical. He wanted to go home.
He was inconsolable. Travis ended up having to drive him around in the van for a while.
By the end of the trip, he certainly didn't want to go home. Silly boy.

We walked the mayor's walk of course. It was a little rainy at first.
Also, this guy was holding a sign that said "2 hour church" ha ha!
We always miss the first session of conference watching the marathon...

Cheering people on!

Tyler was exhausted. He even dropped his sucker on the ground while he fell asleep.

Jared ran his first marathon. He and Matthew came in first from our group. Matthew sacrificed beating Jared for a kiss from Mary. They had a great race.

Dad was next, and he ran a fantastic race, he was so pumped, which is always the best. :)

Steven surprised us all by actually running when we thought he hadn't signed up.
He did great for not training!

Andrew ran with Shiloh, her first marathon as well, and they came in at a great time!

There's a new playground that had about 700 kids playing on it.
And Tyler said he got bit by a dog.

We also spent some time at the splash pad of course. Love this photo.
Like father like son.

Love these kids.

Also, this is what Tyler did while we played games. Cracked us up the first time it happened.

6 Months

6 months baby girl.
Amelia sits up unsupported pretty well now. She loves food. She is nearly sleeping through the night. (Thank goodness, that was a rough 5 1/2 months.) She continues to melt our hearts

with her continuous smiles and sometimes graces us with laughter. She occasionally 

babbles and likes to say "dada" of course. I could listen to her talk all day. She even thinks it 

will keep her up at 4:30 in the morning  after she's eaten. Whiles it's adorable, I value sleep

more than I value hearing what she has to say at this point in her life.
We love this girl more each day. Happy half birthday little one. :)

How do they change so quickly?!

All 3, roughly 6 months old.

Favorite photo of the day featured below on the right.

And just to prove she's not completely happy 100% of the time...
