Halloween in Utah

First of all, we were so lucky to be there to welcome my sisters new little angel to the world! Bryn Lee can't stop talking about baby Kaylin! She is simply perfect. We're so excited to have her in our family.
We were so happy to spend some time with this guy! My parents were on a trip in Israel and we got to come and hang out with Tanner for a week.

Bryn spent a lot of time dirtying all of my mothers doors, windows and mirrors...

We got to go see Dan's grandpa on his 83 birthday! It was so nice to visit with him and Judy, it had been over a year since the last time we saw them.

Dan spent most of his time staring out the window looking for these... Man, we miss Alpine. You forget how beautiful this place is.

Brea and Bryn had such a great time together. We are all girl around here!

Tinkerbell and Napoleon Dynamite all ready for a crazy Halloween night. She's not a big fan of the scary skeleton decoration just outside the frame of this picture...

We also got to hang out with my brother Taylor. Boy does this kid have some pumpkin carving skills!

I love spending time with our families. It's getting harder to not live close to everyone! Luckily we have Skype and its really not that far of a drive.

Fall

Fall came and went in a big blur this year. We loved going out to all of the cornfields and Bryn could not get enough of her Tinkerbell costume. It was pretty cute to have a kid that is starting to get excited about all of the holidays- makes life a little more enjoyable for us :) I swear I am not avoiding the camera... well maybe. But if you had these two adorable ones to capture pretty sure you'd be the one always behind the camera too!

Last glance at Summer 2010

Here is a quick look at what our awesome summer was like(since I've completely neglected to post anything during the summer). The pictures are in a completely random order...


Bryn thought she would go for the collagen injected lips look. We sure know how to play hard at the park! At least there is still a smile on that cute face.
See, Dan does know how to enjoy wildlife that is still alive...

We ate WAY too many treats.

Bryn Lee managed to master wearing heels.

Doesn't she look so happy be be bathed in the sink? She thinks she is a big girl or something.

We had such a great time at our Rowley family reunion this year! Check out this huge, beautiful family- and we are still missing quite a few members in this picture.

Dan taught Bryn how to roast a mean marshmallow.

We found out that a 4 wheeler ride is a great way to put a child to sleep.

We spent tons of time with our friends the Weight's. I've never been fishing so much in my life. Luckily Dan got me this sweet raft to make it a lot more fun for the rest of us!

Lots of swimming in our backyard shark pool.

More fishing...

Bear world is such a great place to take kids! Bryn was in love with this cute little deer.

Check out these albino elk! They also have moose, tons of bears, pigs, goats, fish, and chickens. It's a fun little petting zoo.

We had to hit Hogle Zoo when we went to Utah to visit our family for the 4th of July. I don't think I'd been since I was in Elementary School.

We also tried to fit in a nap whenever we could!

I loved this summer. We tried to do something different every weekend. But I am so ready for the change of seasons! Bring on the Halloween candy :)

Dan's first archery bull!

Dan and his friend Cody called this bull in to 45 yards and Dan was able to get a shot at this big sucker! Not too shabby for his first bull elk with a bow....

Family Pics

We better start by showing you Dan's favorite pic... It's tough to get everyone to cooperate!

Thanks to one of my besties Kelli for taking these pics! The last time we did family pictures was when Bryn was 2 months old. Thought we better take a few before I look even more pregnant...

It's a...

GIRL!!! We are so excited to welcome a new baby girl into our family. I'm excited for Bryn to have a little sister to play with. I love having a sister that I'm close to. I couldn't ask for anything more. Looks like the due date is right on- January 19th.

We've been busy...

watching this girl grow up!!!

Bryn couldn't decide which pajamas to wear that night. She cried until I put them both on her, and was sweating all night...

We have had the best summer. I don't think we have ever been this busy! One of these days things will actually slow down enough for me to blog about it... I've also been a little preoccupied with trying to have enough energy to just make it through the day. It's tough to run after a toddler and be PREGNANT. How do people manage having more than one kid? Guess I'll find out soon here. (Well not till January 19th) Stay tuned- we should find out if its a boy or a girl sometime this week.
