Remember September

This month has been busy and fun. Work has been busy and tiring but we have managed a little bit of fun in between work days.

Eliza fit into a really cute dress and had a matching head band. Score!
On September 6th Eliza turned 3 months. She makes us laugh:

Ryan left for his mission to Las Vegas:

One last feel of the guns.

The boys.

Uncle Ry-run. Eliza will miss him. As we all will.

Aunt Katie and Uncle Scooter.



Eliza got a high chair for future use. We tried it out. It's still a little big and she isn't sure what to do in it yet, but I think it will work.

OK FINALLY I AM CAUGHT UP! Mark this day in the books! Don't get too excited or have hopes that it will stay this way but come back and visit soon. You never know!!!

This weekend we are: going to a wedding, having girls day, and relaxing together. Have a great one!

Update: August

August 6th, Eliza turned 2 months. She became a much better baby with much less crying.




Kase's brother, Ryan, went to the temple for the first time. It was a special day.

Eliza and I laid around the house a lot:

Eliza had to get her first shots. She was sad:

And she had swollen thighs. :(

But she got better and we played around the house a lot:

She smiled for the first time in August. She re-inacted her first smile for me as seen here:

Uncle Ryan hung out with Eliza a lot before he had to leave for his mission:

And he showed her his guns:

And Eliza got to go to her first Drive-in movie.

Uncle Ryan was her date:

Eliza had a good August:

Update: Eliza's Blessing

Eliza was blessed on August 1st. For those who don't know, this is a special day where she her name is announced and a special prayer of blessings is said for her.


Getting ready for her special day. Her great-grandmother Lois made her pretty white dress:

Me, Eliza, Mom

Sister-in-Law Leah, Sister Melissa, Me, Eliza, MomBrother John, Me, Eliza, Dad

Note how fascinated Eliza is with her uncle John.

We had everyone in both of our families here. It was so special.

My sister is missing in this picture. She is off socializing somewhere and didn't know we were taking photos. I was so glad my brother and his wife could come visit.

All the men in Eliza's life, except for Grandpa Byron.

Our dear friends Chris and Erin with their beautiful daughter Carly. She moves to quick to be caught looking at the camera. :)

Leah made an awesome cake with Eliza's face. I got to fullfill my dreams of eating my baby cause she is so cute.

Eliza with Aunt Leah and Uncle John.

What a wonderful day!

Update: Summer Trip to Idaho

The end of July we headed out to Salt Lake City, Utah, and Montpelier, Idaho, to visit Kase's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Kase's parents, and all of this brothers and their families were able to go too! We had so much fun.
