Fun Fall Festivities

Aspen is learning her seasons...and here in Utah it's hard to get them straight because it seems like they change everyday!! But she has told me that fall is her favorite right now...and I'm going to have to say that I agree with her. We have had fun enjoying the last of the fall weather and all the festivities that come with Halloween...including a costume birthday party, visiting the pumpkin patch, hay rides, cornbells, jumping in leaf piles,and mountain walks! I'm not ready for the long winter and staying inside all day everyday.

These pictures are from our walk in corner canyon

Nothing like playing in the leafs in your PJs

The past three years with Aspen Kate...

Today marks the 3 year mark that I became a mom, Dallas and I became parents,and we became a family of 3. On this day 3 years ago a beautiful baby girl came into our lives and changed how I felt about everything...I never thought that I could love my husband any more then I already did...but I found out I could...I never thought that I could love someone I just met such pure and unconditional love...but I found out I could...I had never experienced a moment fulled with more emotions then I even knew I had...but at that moment when I heard our Aspen's first cry, emotions filled my heart...being a mother has taught me so much. It has taught me to embrace the day...live it...hold it...love it...and to look back only at the good,fun,happy moments that we get to share as a family...Now of 4.

Somethings that I want you to know about you at 3 years old

YESSSS!!! We got our pictures done again with Blue Lily yesterday! I love this one with Irelynn! I will post more when I them!

TODAY...

Today we attended my Grandma Webbs funeral...(my moms,mom.)The girls looked so "DARING" all dressed up in their fall's finest. It was a nice day today outside in the cool crisp air. A nice day a celebrate a great lady who had gone through so much in her life and never would complain. She will be dearly missed and our memories of her will always be cherished!




After...I thought it would be a good idea to go and take some "Almost 3 year old" picture of our little Aspen Kate. Every year I send out a announcement for there birthdays with a picture. This way even the family that lives out of town can get a chance to see how big they haven gotten from year to year. Here are some of the cute ones that I got!

San Diego, California

Last week we took our first family vacation as a family of 4. We packed our bags + car seats and strollers and got on the airplane for a couple of days of just US! Much to my suprise the girls did great on the plane and slept from take off and landing...Aspen woke up the day we left with a bad case of Croup:( but we made the best of it and she was such a trooper! In the four days that we were there we went to Sea World, Mission Beach, The Chargers vs Dolphins game, and did some Gas Lamp shopping. We really didn't leave any time for relaxing, however the girls didn't seem to have a problem sleeping wherever, whenever. We stayed at a nice place right on Mission Bay, we had some great food, got to go out with some friends for dinner in La Jolla.It was a nice, much needed trip spent with the 3 people I love dearly!
