Not too soon...but trying to catch up!

Apparently we are trying to experience life as the Amish do, and have spent the last two months without cable or internet. It has been rough at times but I've found I am more productive without my usual excuses to be lazy so September and October have been jam packed with our many projects and outings. I'm stealing the internet from my mom's house so don't have time to update on all of those outings but will begin with September. So here you have it, what we've been up to. September at a glance....or more like a long stare. :) Sorry about that.

Lauryn turned 1 on September 5th and decided to get attitude!
She is still our sweetie and I am loving this age!

Brylie began her dance class, and in my opinion is the cutest little ballerina.

Shawn turned 27 on the 10th and I know you may have a hard time seeing him. :)

We were so excited to spend time outdoors, and had to make up for a summer of apartment living. The weather was perfect for this and we had a great time enjoying all of our outdoor activities.

Here we are roasting marshmellows with the cousins.



There were many road trips to visit grandparents and cousins, but Brylie thought they were a breeze compared to her journey from California and decided to kick her feet up with a slurpee and head phones. What could be finer! :)

Reunions and Canoeing at Zion's Park






Fishing and Potty Training at Duck Creek

And yes Brylie is caught with her pants down, but there is no time out for potty trainin.


And finally hunting antelope in Wyoming.

It was actually my kind of hunt, we sat in a heated truck while we drove around and Shawn picked out which one he thought looked the best out of about 10-20 we saw along the drive. It was a good time, but I am yet to talk myself into actually eating the meat. Maybe I'll work my way up to it. September was a good month and hopefully I can update on October before the end of the year. :)

YA! I love the update! And that family picture at the top is awesome. You look gorgeous... not that you don't all the time though. Makes me sick sometimes:) I really love it though! Are they the ones Liz did? Anyway- we miss you guys again. Lets plan something soon!

Looks like you have had fun. I agree with Jen, that pic at the top is beautiful. I love brys hair!

Angie said...

You know the picture of Shawn and Bry fishing? I have that VERY SAME picture--just insert Chad and Cydnee. Seriously, I think they are sitting on the exact same rock and it must be the same time of year cuz the background is identical! Weird.

Glad you have been getting all our "apartment living" wiggles out--you must have had a lot!

Angie said...

YOUR apartment living wiggles...not mine...obviously:)

Once again, you crack me up! The Amish comment made me laugh. I love the Elmo cake and the cupcake holder. I hope both girls had a good birthdays. I also agree, Brylie will make one cute balerina! I love the pictures of Lauryn in her life jacket, and I love the one by the lake. I love them all. I can't wait to see you!
