Ava turns 1!!!

Some two on one dates with the twins for their birthday. So fun and special for them to get to go on a date with mom and dad all by themselves.

Tyler chose to get pizza and go to a park, then to the dollar store to pick out a toy.

With Kallie we got food at Wendy's, went to the park, and then to the dollar store for a toy.

I took the kids to the fire station open house. Not as exciting as the first time we did it, but still cool.

Kallie is becoming quite the artist!

On October 12, Ava turned 1!!! She was so terrible the day before her birthday and I was really mad at her but luckily she woke up on her birthday happy and was great the whole day. It's like she knew it was a special day.

We gave her a baby doll and all on her own she hugged it. First time she had ever done that. Now she does it all the time to all sorts of toys. She always says "ahhhh" when she hugs something.

So cute wearing the same shirt both her sisters wore on their first birthdays.

New books from Grandma Bishop.

She was so awesome diving in to her cake and just destroying it! I did a time lapse video of it that turned out really awesome.

Such a fun happy baby. We love her to death!!!

Enjoying Fall

Fall is such an amazing time of year. We enjoyed a warm day at the park. Ava loves sitting in her stroller so outings like this are really easy. Just always working around nap time.

My kids sure love Jaker's. I think this is the 3rd or 4th year in a row we've been going there. It is so awesome. We will be back again before Halloween for sure!

Another Fall favorite, that I missed out on last year, the BYU Homecoming Parade. By far the best parade ever. My kids brought their Halloween pumpkins and left with as much candy as they will get on Halloween. Such a great time with family.

I love Kallie's hand waving at the princesses.

Ava looks so big just sitting on the curb.

More Wedding

I couldn't get these pictures to add to my last post. 

Karen pulled off an amazing luncheon, especially for being out of town. She had everything so organized and we just helped a tiny bit.

Annie and I unknowingly bought the exact same dress. Ha ha! So fun.

K, seriously, the pool was incredible. Such a fun place to stay.

These two! When will they ever stop napping????

Brandon crashed on me both nights.

Ava kind of had a fever the day after the wedding, which meant lots of snuggles and having her fall asleep in bed with me for the first time ever! Luckily nothing ever came of it.

Mckinley scares me a little. I think she thinks she can just swim across the ocean. She has a little too much confidence in the pool. But she is doing great with swimming. I'm glad she loves it so much.

Lincoln and Megan's Wedding

We got to go to St. George for Lincoln and Megan's wedding. I was excited for a fun little family trip.

The kids did pretty well on the drive down. Tyler and Kallie slept for part of it, which was nice. Ava slept a little too. I was the driver on the way down so Brandon took care of the kids. Which was nice.

The place we stayed at was so nice!!! We had a blast. The pool was amazing, and it was so fun staying in a big house with family so we could spend a lot of time together.

Megan's mom arranged for babysitters during the sealing and I felt so bad for them! They survived though and didn't even look too flustered when we got back.

This was the first picture I took on the trip. Mckinley helping Kallie with her dress. I thought it was so sweet.

Jessica took pictures of the kids while we were waiting for Lincoln and Megan to come out of the temple.

Cutie pie Ava at the luncheon. Oh, I could just eat her up.
