September Scoop

Time for picture overload!

Maya and Brianna started preschool at Harmony Christian Early School. They are having fun making friends and learning. They go three days a week. It's great to have them on a structured schedule after a crazy summer.




I have had a lot of fun trying new hairstyles on the girls. There will be a lot of hairstyle photos this month. They are very patient with me, and usually enjoy getting to have their hair look cutesy.



Dallin's screams and fussy moments don't stand a change against the sleepy dust of a LILLEbaby carrier!


Pull through braids. I love this look! I do it on myself sometimes as well.



These two are good buddies.


And so are these two!



I printed a fall bucket list, and one day I told Maya she could pick something off of the list and we would do it. She picked "Bake a Pie". I was hesitant at first but she said, "Look! We have bananas! Let's make a banana pie!" So that we did. She was a great help in making it and the end result was delicious.









One Saturday my dad took the girls on a date. They went out to dinner and then to a Pony Show - there was even a unicorn! They got to stay up way past their bedtime, and had a really fun time. Ryan and I used the opportunity to go on a double date with Brady and Erin. 


We taught (or at least tried) the girls how to play Go Fish.


A new Broncos fan in the making!


Brianna gets out of school at 3 PM and Maya gets out at 3:30 PM. During that 30-minute wait we like to go on walks. I'm especially loving that now that the air is crisp and the leaves are beautiful. Pretty soon it will be too cold and we will just have to wait it out in the school.


Maya is a great help with doing laundry. 


Dallin had his first face-out experience in the LILLEbaby. 


Harmony School put on a fall festival. There were cute games, a petting zoo, food, bake sale (I made Apple Cinnamon Mini Cheesecakes to donate), and even a horse ride. After the festival we drove to Colorado Springs for the weekend.




It was a great month that flew by! Obviously, since we are already more than halfway through October and I'm only now posting this.

Weekend in Colorado Springs

We got to spend a weekend in Colorado Springs with the Browning family. We had a lot of fun and I look forward to doing it again!

Maya and Aislynn are great buddies. I felt like I only saw Maya for mealtimes because those two were always off playing together. 


Zander and Dallin are the only boys on that side of the family. Zander is pretty excited to have a boy to play with soon!


On Saturday we went to Wishing Star Farm. They have a camel!






They also had a giant inflated pillow to jump on. I think that was the first time in quite some time that I got excited to play on something. I think my shoes were off as fast as the kids'!



Daddy was a good sport and took Dallin on his first train ride.










Brielle was so cute with Dallin!




On Sunday we watched general conference and then headed home. 


We had so much fun spending time with them; watching the kids play, staying up late playing games, and just making memories.
