Where did the summer go?

The girls were so proud of their new skirts.  They had fun modeling their new school clothes

 Brooklyn can't wait to start school tomorrow.  And I need a school that will take Hayden.  I don't think this is going to work with just me and Hayden.  
I love this footage of Hayden.  110% in everything she does.  Whether it's bugging Brooklyn, crying, laughing or eating.  She goes all out.

carter REALLY doesn't like peaches

what happens when thunder thighs meet bumbo?

carter's first HOFF

Preston loves the videos of his cousins. More please!!! I'm still attempting to get photos out of the camera. Hopefully before Christmas!

I was loading some pictures off of my camera and there are a few Good ones I wanted to share. I was thinking about getting Hayden a little toy for her birthday - but I guess I'm going to have to get her something more advanced.  Maybe a Snowboard.  At the pace she's going, she'll be a pro in 2 weeks.  She is close to mastering Brooklyn's 2 wheeled razor scooter.  Pistol I tell ya.

I caught Hayden with my deodorant.  She is the biggest copy cat.  I love that she knew to lift up her shirt.  I can already hear myself saying to this copier, "So just because Brooklyn jumped off a cliff, does that mean you have to?"  And I already know what her answer will be.

Our girls love to go fishing.  By far the most we've ever gotten out of a toy.  Grandpa - maybe a fishing trip at Riverview next time you come down???  They would love to learn from a real fisherman.  Not their dad.  Brooklyn can cast it just as far as Ammon or I can.  We are real proud of our children's useless talents.

This one is for you Jordan.  Get back to the land of the Devils.  We have been quite excited about their basketball team.  Hayden does a great job of mimicking our enthusiasm.  My dad (the hopeless Arizona sports fan was oh so proud)

chicago

well here are some pictures of our trip to chicago. we met mom and dad there and had a great time. carter did pretty well for his first time out. thanks mom and dad for everything, we had a great time!

carter was great the second day and this is how cute he looks when he is not screaming.

tyrell packed carter around the city in our new front carrying back- pack thing. it worked out great.

tyrell enjoyed all the smiles he got from the passers by as they admired his adorable cargo.

the aquarium was a great time and getting a wheel chair was a great idea. it benefited everyone.

i could nurse and experience the museum at the same time. (good thinking mom)

mom got to take a nap with carter

and dad got some relief from his nerve pain. it was even worth the humiliation of being pushed around by his son-in-law with the baby and all the purses :)

carter wondering why he has to be the victim of such adoration.

mom trying to win carter over and convince him that he does not need to cry.

we went to the field museum as well and carter is already bored by history.

who in the hell are all those faces?

the top of the sears tower after mom and dad left.

cold

i took carter for a walk in the freezing cold but don't worry his little polar bear outfit kept him warm.

Genius

this is our genius baby who is so good at yawning, sneezing, sticking out his tongue, sucking on his hand and kicking his legs :) (and mom look how he is filling out his outfit.. what a chunk)

christmas and carter
