Finding the "magic button!"

(P.S. I should clarify that Carrie is itching her nose, he.)

Carrie's triplets and Gabe with uncle Cole!

Last night, some of our extended family got together for a mini family reunion at the Olive Garden. It was so neat seeing our cousins and other family memebers who we haven't seen in over 10 years!! Crazy, I know! I think the kids will never forget Uncle Cole and his magic button on his hand....everytime they pushed it his leg or arm would fly up! Needless to say, they chased him around the rest of the night trying to push the "magic button!" Ha! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Only 6 more weeks!

Renny's, sister's husband, Wyatt was kind enough to snap some pictures of me so I could show Ren the growing baby bump. We went up into the Canyon and played around with some of the fall colors. So far Gabe and I have loved being back in Utah, but we really miss our Daddy! We know he is working hard and will be with us very soon!! Thanks everyone who has helped give him food! I wish I could hug you or give you a belly bump. he!

Swing time!

Poor Oakley..

I love this picture. I don't know what made my Mom laugh like that, but it cracks me up!

"Goofy Dog!"

Today, Gabe wanted Grandma to push her on the swing. I looked out the window and had to grab my camera, because of how cute Grandma and Gabe were. My Mom was trying to teach Gabe how to swing on her own, and Gabe was really, really trying. She was so stiff and would lean back akwardly while trying to hold her head upright, it was actually pretty funny. She did a good job trying and luckily, I was able to snap a couple of shots of the two of them having fun outside!

Fun in the leaves!

This past week the weather here in Utah has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Perfect fall weather, and perfect for a good-sized leaf pile! Gabe had a hay day when Grandpa raked together all the leaves in our backyard and let her go crazy in them! It was so fun to watch her run full speed at the pile and then throw herself into them, disappearing in the bouncy, crunchy heap! The last picture makes me laugh, because my Dad would not stop throwing leaves on the pile, even when my mom wanted a picure with Gabe. haha! So there he is, practically throwing leaves on them as I am taking the picture. ha!
