Leah's blessing

 We were able to have Leah's blessing on October 3rd in our home.  Devon's parents came and our good friends the Dee's.  It was a very special experience and reminded us what a great blessing it is to have Heavenly Father's special children join our family.
 My mom made her blessing dress, which I think turned out perfectly.  Devon's mom made the quilt behind- so cute.

 Babies are a little  floppy at this age, but we had to get a picture of the whole dress.

 Leah has started smiling a lot.  She is one super cute baby!

 Two months old today!


September

 The boys heard about Geocaching in a book they read, so we decided to start a new family activity. The Geocache closest to our house was at Gouldings, but no one who worked at Gouldings knew anything about it.  We found out that is because it was a "virtual cache" which i guess just means a cool place to see, but no actual box there.
 So this was our first real Geocahe, quiet cache.  It was super hard to find, the clue was "In the crevice of a rock", there were tons of rocks.  Devon finally found it, and here is Spencer fishing it out.
 We actually found 2 caches that day, the second one was much easier.
 We also went to the annual Utah Navajo Days parade that day, so we had to stop by Bluff Fort.

 The best part of a parade, picking up candy.  We got 2 grocery bags full- Halloween here we come.

 Cute girls, Carrie loves her sister as long as she is not stealing all of the attention.

 One night a bat perched on our porch and we got the rare opportunity of watching it wake up in the evening, it was pretty neat, and a little creepy.
 When Devon has game duty the boys take turns going with him.  This has worked out really well, and they have loved it.
 This place constantly takes my breath away with it's beauty.

August catch up

 Classic first day of school pics.  Our first day of school was August 13.

 Carrie was heart broken to loose her two favorite friends.
 Kelsey and her kids came to visit us again earlier in August.  We were so glad to have them here, just sorry we didn't get to see more because Devon had to work and I was very pregnant, but we still had a fun time.
 Carrie and James are such good friends- and good enemies too.  They are quarreling or loving each other.
 One day i went to the doctor and Carrie was so sad she crawled in her bed and cried.  Having a new baby sister is hard work!
