and then i turned a year older

Weird that I'm another year older.  I don't feel 27.  I still feel 21.  What's weird is counting how long ago I graduated college; then highschool.  Regardless how how old I feel, I had a great birthday.  I held my sweet little girl all day.  She cuddled with me and it was the best.  My boys surprised me with cake and presents which I cannot wait for Brian Reagan this February.  Date night!  Also, I'm due for that makeover.  When I talk about high school, I think I've had the same makeup since then.  It's time.  So Jake treated me right and I have fun things to look forward to.  I love when birthdays last longer than they should. 

Note about the cake:  One time, Jake sent me flowers at work and he told the florist to write on the card, "'I love you' three times".  The florist wrote "I love you 3 times."  Hilarious! So that is now what is on birthday cards, anniversary cards, birthday cakes, and sometimes at the end of texts.  I may even have it engraved on my tombstone. 

Jake- I love you 3 times! Thanks for a great b-day!

our pumpkins

Jake carved Shrek into his pumpkin, I dipped mine in pink, Lennon chose glitter, and Myer created a masterpiece. Pretty much sums up our little family.  So fun to see FOUR pumpkins on our porch. Happy Hallows eve!

the halloween thing to do

Of course it's Cornbellys.

And we did it with 2 kids.

We are so into this holiday.

Being a month old I thought I'd write down some things before I forget.  Life is flying too fast!  Here we go:

*You're a grunter!  Not a crier, a grunter.  Granted that's so much nicer to wake up to in the middle of the night than crying, but it's so funny hearing all that coming from my little girl.
*You sleep GREAT.  You give me four hours at night and nap every 3 hours during the day
*Your head of hair is a show stopper.  People stop to comment on it all the time
*You are Myer's twin.  I hope you continue to look like him
*Your favorite place to sleep is on my chest.  That ModBe wrap is coming in handy. We also cuddle all night long.  You're my snuggle buddy

You are heaven sent.  We just cuddle and snuggle all day.  Our family is complete with our quiet precious angel.  Life is good with Lennon Lou.

officially a month old

Happy 1 month Lennon! 
And what a month it's been.
We can't get enough of you!
 

And we made it!  Phew.  

I think it's safe to say we all survived and no one was officially adopted by Grandma.

Mitchell's and Anneli's wedding

First was the wedding down in St. George.  Then the reception at Camp Williams up here in Saratoga Springs.  It was a big week and we were so lucky to be a part of it all.  Mitchell and Anneli are the sweetest couple.  We love you guys and are so happy for you both!
