For Real?

Here's a recap of September for ya
I seriously can't belive this guy is 1 already! This past year went by crazy fast!

And he's already into a lot more trouble than his bigger brother ever was.

The little guy has started walking too thanks to all the help from his big brother.


For his birthday I made his cake. It was my first layered cake I'd ever made and also my first MM Fondant cake I'd ever made. Definitely room for improvement but I was still pleased.





















Happy 1st Birthday Big Guy!!



We also got the chance to go on a trip to Zions and St. George with Neil's fam this month.

And one of these handsome guys just got his mission to Little Rock Arkansas! Congrats Austin! Still hard for me to believe he's already going on a mission. This guy was in elementary school when I met him! He leaves Dec. 15th.

We had planned to take Austin to Angel's Landing but it was closed for the day :( So we did a bunch of other random hikes. Still beautiful no matter where you were. And I love how the animals are not afraid of people!

Cole and Korver got to hang out with Neil's parents. Apparently it was a bit too much fun for Korver.

And I'm thinking I should have hung out with them too. I was super jealous Cole actually got to see a trantula. I've never seen one out in the wild! (I need to get out more apparently)








And thanks to Neil's parents we were able to leave the kids and go to "Crazy for You" at Tuacahn. Absoultely Love Tuacahn!



That's just mean Mom!

On the way home we took a needed break at Cove Fort. Cole thought it was pretty cool that you got to climb up to the top of the fort.



Other Happenings This Month

My brother Brett and his wife Tiffany had their first baby boy in September. Keaton Darl Cook. (Sorry your picture is so small Brett and Tiff. It's just the way it uploaded. I'm not trying to play favorites) :)


And Neil's sister Monica had her 4th baby. Little Ava Grace Lambert. She had quite the time getting here. The nurses at the hospital did less than their job and Monica ended up giving birth without any doctors or nurses in the room. She wasn't even in the pushing position and the baby came out on the bed. Her husband quickly rushed out to get the doctor and nurses and amazingly everything was o.k. Needless to say their hospital bill was cut dramatically.





AND we found out on our trip that Clint and Rachel (parents of the triplet boys) are expecting again!! Congrats!

And our tomatoes sure took their time getting here this year but they've come in with a bang . (I swear every year we have something weird grow in our garden.)
