I have not been very good at taking pictures or documenting our life this month. Thankfully, September always feels a bit slower around here and maybe that's a good thing. Here are some pictures of a few things that have been going on this month.
We celebrated the first day of fall with our traditional acorn doughnuts.
Adam and Tessa had fun making them and we all had fun eating them!
Oh, this girl! She is like a tornado! She loves playing out in the backyard and especially in the tomato plants.
Adam and Mommy had a photo shoot.
Tessa is little miss social! She has friends over constantly to play! I can't even tell you how many tea parties we have a week. Last week she went to her friend, Elle's birthday party. They went to a photo studio and had a photo shoot. Tessa wore her most glamorous outfit and had a ball with all of her friends!
When she isn't watching her new favorite show, "The Emperor's New Groove" (go figure, I know) we find her hiding with a toy she knows she shouldn't be playing with....
I couldn't get the pictures to rotate. One night for dinner, Gwen insisted on eating only cold cereal and only with a fork. We thought Tessa was stubborn....
Eric and I got to go to the BYU/Utah game with some cousins and had tons of fun-despite the outcome of the game. We still love our Cougars!
We entered into the red zone to go say hi to Jake and Angel. This rivalry goes deep!
A couple of weekends ago, I was lucky to have a break from life and go spend some time at the temple. It fed my soul and lifted my spirits! I am so thankful for this beautiful place!
.
Overall, everyone is well and happy. We are on the countdown for school to be over for Eric. He won't be done until June, but we feel like it will be here before we know it! Adam is loving school and reading on a fourth, almost 5th grade level. He plays football constantly right now and you can often find him exploring Mt. Everest on Google Earth. Tessa is doing great at Kindergarten and has been working so hard on writing her name well. Her practice has paid off because her penmanship has improved so much since she started school. She comes home everyday and reports on who was naughty that day and how many new friends she has made. Gwen will finally let us put her hair up without immediately ripping it out. She is growing up so much and doesn't seem like much of a baby anymore.
We are loving the cooler weather and these kids are getting excited for Halloween. Costume making is underway and we are excited for the holidays to be right around the corner. We are grateful to have each other and to be so blessed!
