Chloe was born July 16th!

Ha, ha, I realize she is now two months old, but since I never announced her birth, I'm posting pictures from her actual birth day. And more pictures to come later (hopefully).



Tessa and Lincoln were so excited about their new sister! Here they are helping give Chloe her first bath. (Note: check out her cone head!)

She has been the best baby ever! She has been sleeping 8 hours a night since she was about 5 or 6 weeks old. Heaven!

I love this sister picture!

My New Favorite Hike

I found this new trail, thanks to a nice park ranger dude that suggested it. It is one of the prettiest hikes EVER. Hard to believe I only live 15 minutes away from the trailhead.


Happily eating her granola bar.




Lincoln also likes the hike (just a little bit).

Halloween Fun

Lincoln's school party: I borrowed my costume from a friend and Colby went as "Static Cling" (and yes, that is a sock attached to his head).



Pirate and flower girl: (costumes from last year that still fit...kind of).



Carving pumpkins for FHE

THE LOOT! (Looks like Tessa already has a sugar hangover).

Cute Kids!

As cute as the pigtails are, she screams and screams while I'm trying to do them so needless to say, they only get done once or twice a month.



This is her favorite dress, mostly because it's pink and frilly.



We made a tent to watch General Conference in October so we had an excuse to eat treats and draw pictures during each session.




No, she doesn't need glasses. She just wanted to try some on while we were at the store.
She knew how to immediately strike a pose as soon as she put them on.

Lincoln turns 6!

Even though these kids look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, don't let it fool you, it is 6 AM and they are ready for the day (just like everyday, but ESPECIALLY on a birthday)!


I'm 6!



Minature golfing on Lincoln's birthday was fairly hilarious. Colby would help Tessa whack it and then she would say "RUN! RUN!" (or "WUN! WUN!") as she ran after the ball to retrieve it.

Legos are one of Lincoln's favorite toys! He was pretty proud he followed the directions and built this all by himself.

End of summer activities

At the zoo

Boating at Lynx Lake

Showing off her muscles again! :)

To Melody

I'm dedicating this post to Melody, who wanted to see more pictures of Tess.


She LOVES kitties!

She also loves climbing at the playground.

This was her halloween costume last year when she was 10 months old, but she still asks to be dressed up in it!
