{LayLa 9 MonThS}

{Here is our little Layla @ 9 months!! She is growing and changing so much. We just love watching her GROW!!

At her 9 month wellness appointment she weighed 19 pds, 6 oz (75% tile) and is 29.3 inches long (100%tile), so she is chunky and long. haha

She is now eating lots of new foods, loves everything we give her. She is still sleeping thru the night from about 9-9 every night and taking a long nap on the day. She is seriously so busy...she is into and on top of everything. She has now started crawling up the stairs!! I'm sure she will be close to walking in the next couple months!! She now has 4 teeth, two on top and two on the bottom, so cute!! She is such a fun, sweet spirit and she is so in love with her older brother. They love to laugh and wrestle together!! She is truly a joy in our lives!!}

{We love this time of the year!!! There are so many things to do..

We had so much fun going with our cousins to Black Island Farms where we got to go on a tractor ride to pick out our pumpkins, we also played on all the fun toys and rode the rides.

And what a beautiful fall day it was!!}

{We also went to the Syracuse "Pumpkin Walk" with our friends the Ehlers! It was so cool seeing all the different pumpkins lite up at night!!}

{Halloween was perfect this year! The weather was so nice that we tricker treated the whole night. We started in our neighborhood, then headed to Grandma Annie & Papa Mikes house for yummy soup and more trick or treating!! Trae loved it!!He seriously got so much candy....}

{LaYtON HaLf}

{I wanted to just do monthly updates from here on out but I was going thru my pics from this last month and I think I'm gunna break it up....October was a busy month!! So the first weekend in Oct. me & my cute friend Brittany ran the Layton Half Marathon! It was so much different than my last half ( it was freezing cold, started 30 mins late and I felt the run was harder..super flat)but it was still so much fun & a great accomplishment. I ended up running this one 13 minutes faster than my last..still slow and steady finishing in 2 and a half hrs.}

{13.1 here we go!}

{LaBoR Day FuN}

{From the month of September the only real exciting thing I remember us doing is on Labor day weekend we took Trae and his cousin Jake (who Trae adores!!) to Lagoon for the 1st time. He absolutely loved it. He didn't seem too afraid to ride anything! if Jake was there with him he was fine. It was so fun and so cute!! We had a ton of fun!}

{AuGuSt cAtCh Up}

{I've decided that I'm slacking too much on my blogging so I'm going to try and just do a monthly update. So lets begin where we left off...the month of August. Sadly this month summer came to an end however we are very much looking forward to Fall and the holidays. The kiddos are growing so quickly..it just kills me.

Trae is talking so much more and putting sentences together..its cute having a conversation with him. He also has been much better at sleeping in his own bed.}

{ Miss Layla is the busiest little bee you'd ever seen. Crawling, climbing, pulling herself up on everything. She is such a happy easy baby. Still sleeps all night which is so wonderful!!!}

{The second weekend in August MP had his 10 year high school reunion that we attended. Mp and a couple other gals were in charge of planning and putting the whole thing together. He spent alot of time and hard work on the evening and it turned out wonderful. They held it at the Egyptian Center in Ogden, had a yummy dinner and program. It was s fun night out with no kiddos. ha}

{The next weekend my parents came from St. George to visit and my dad took all us girls to the Sugarland concert. It was so fun. I just love them & so do my parents. It was awesome thanks to my papa we had fabulous 3rd row seating!! Loved it!}




{And last but not least i want to blame my "no time to blog" on my house re-doing obsession I have had lately..it seems to be taking up any free time i do have with home projects. So I thought I'd share what I've been up too. Ever since we got our pics taken in August I have just been wanting to re-do lots in my house so I started with the photo walls....

then the chair I was handed down from my Grandpa that was in our family pics I wanted to make matching pillows for it and the couch....

{And finally I have been on the search for the perfect rug since Mother's day!!! yes Happy Mothers Day to me in August!!! I finally found the rug on Urban Outfitters for only $69.00!! Love the color, love chevron stripes!!its perfect and so I had to tie the turquoise into my kitchen so I painted the pantry door to match (kinda). The window re do I owe it to ideas from the cutest blog...thehouseofsmiths.blogspit.com . I needed to be inspired & I was. I do owe all the credit for my redo's to ideas from my new obsession "pinterest.com". check it out if you haven't already..you will then understand. haha}

So there is August in recap:)
