Conference

My kids listened to conference for about 5 minutes and then we're done! I thought it was sweet how Addie even stopped and took a listen!

Cement Mixer

Our neighbors put their yard in the end of September, meaning we are the only ones left to do ours! They had a cement truck come one day and pour a huge pad in the back. We were on our morning walk while Ella was at school and Easton saw it and was so mad he wanted to go home and watch it. We eventually made it back and he ran out to finish watching it! I love this boy he is 100% boy!

Sept random

These are off my phone which I decided doesn't take the greatest of pictures but there are still some good ones!

She is always so happy in the morning and loves to wake up the whole house!

Watching out the window and being sad because her friends are ringing our doorbell and she can't play with them. I stuck to my guns of telling them they couldn't do anything the rest of the day after they were running up and down the aisles at the store, where they almost knocked a lady down and her oxygen tank! I wonder why I even bother leaving the house sometimes!

Ella is so proud of where she was born and is determined to learn how to spell and write Mississippi all by herself, someday she will get it down! She constantly talks about how she wants to go back I never knew it would have such a big and strange impact on her!

We hired someone to take care of our weed problem. They literally had taken over and were over 6 feet tall in most places. We also were blessed with those awful goat head weeds so there are constantly those nasty stickers all over our house! I forgot to take a before picture but this was after his first run to the dump and he still had a lot to go! In the end it was so worth it to pay him to do it there is no way we could have done it alone and now we can keep it under control until next spring when we put the yard in!

We spend many hours sitting on the porch while the kids play outside. They just aren't old enough to play alone and since we don't have a fenced in yard yet I am on watch duty!

I canned tomatoes in September at my mom's house and this tomato I picked was huge it was bigger then my hand!

I have about 200 pictures of her on my phone or things she felt the need to photograph!

We celebrated my Grandma's birthday the end of the month. We are so grateful to have her in our lives and are thankful for all she does for us still! She turned 82 and doesn't stop, she is going on a 10 day trip next week to Israel!

Women's meeting

I was able to go down to the Women's meeting at the conference center. I went with my mom and sisters and my cousins, aunts, and grandma met us there! It was such an amazing meeting, the parts we heard! We got downtown late because we were sending my little sister off to homecoming plus it was pouring rain and it took us almost a half an hour to get in the conference center! We missed most of the first speaker but the rest we heard was wonderful!

These are a little blurry but it was fun being together (we sure missed my little sister Sarah and my sister in law Celyn!)

Afterwards we walked out and it had stopped raining! It was so beautiful on Temple Square! We enjoyed dinner together at Blue Lemon!

Rough Days

Some days it is hard to have a good sleeping schedule, we are working on not waking her up while she is asleep, certain people tend to be a little loud when she is sleeping! This one night I couldn't even get her changed she was so exhausted so I put her on the floor with her blanket and not a minute later she was out! I let her sleep about 5 minutes got her up and her in her pajamas fed her and put her back down!

Poor thing had marks all over from army crawling!

8 Months

My goal this month was to get her pictures from the month before posted before the 27th, two and a half weeks to spare! 

September 27th Addie turned 8 months old! The last month has been a very eventful one for this girl! She has changed so much! Right before she turned 7 months she started clicking her tongue. Then on September 1st she started clapping! She loves to clap and it is so cute. The very next day she decided she was done sitting and decided to start army crawling. She literally went from 0 to 60 in a matter of days! She just took off and a couple weeks later she started going back and forth from that to normal crawling. She still goes back and forth depending on how quickly she needs to get somewhere! She loves to put everything in her mouth but her favorite things to put in her mouth are carpet fibers, I vacuum a lot because of it but with new carpet there are a ton! About the 8th of September she started sitting up from the crawling position which surprised me, it always seemed to take the other two a lot longer to master that! She also discovered her voice this last month and loves to scream! She says mama and dada a lot and also says Ella, she usually says Ella really loud like she is yelling her name which I'm not surprised she probably learned it from me :). We love this girl and just wish time would stand still! We also wish she would sleep in longer, no matter what time she goes to bed she is up at the same time everyday and she does a great job of waking up the whole house, some people need more sleep to survive the day (Ella!). 

I took these the day after he 8 month mark, I got this dress last year and was so excited for her to wear it!

Alright mom, I've had enough I'm outta here!

Her is these tights was just awesome!

Like I said she hates getting dressed so it always take a few minutes to get her happy again!

We sure do love this busy girl!
