Incredible Hulk..A Ballerina and Nemo. What do these things have in common?

Picking out pumpkins, it was SO cold outside. That is why Scarlett is having less than a wonderful time.

I love the look on Atticus' face. This is the first year we got him to actually stick his hand in the pumpkin without crying. He did like it and how gross it was.

Scarlett designed the first one based on drawings that Jon did. Atticus drew the face on the middle one and Jon carved it. I did the last one with a pattern from those books, it was alot of carving, I wasn't too impressed.

She's one year old

Veronica eating her cake, she didn't make as big of a mess as Atticus and Scarlett. She probably ate more cake than they did though. Here's Veronica's 12 month stats: Height 28.75 (38%) Weight 20.11 oz (48%) Head circumference 45 cm(48%)

These are Atticus' 12 month stats: Height 32" Weight 21.8 oz Head circumference 47 cm
These are Scarlett's 12 month stats: Height 29.5 (60%) Weight 19.10 oz (24%) Head circumference 45 cm (47%)

Let's go to the fair

Eating caramel apples at the Utah State Fair on September 11th. They were so good I wish I would have got one.

Getting balloons at the Davis County Fair in August.

What a summer!

Camping trip in August with my side of the family. We just stayed one night up Ogden Canyon, but we didn't get rained on, so it was a success.

I did get the kids this fun sprinkler for our yard. Scarlett mostly drank the water.

The Bountiful 24th of July parade. It was hot, hot, hot and Atticus got sunscreen in his eyes(poor thing).

Swimming at Becca's pool in July. I think Atticus stayed in the pool the whole time we were there. I didn't buy a pool this year for the kids, I will have to next summer.

My Little Helpers

They empty the dishwasher for me, they put the dishes on the counter, but they do put the silverware away and it's a big help.

Here's the proof, Veronica is now standing up to everything, and very mobile.

Bear Lake 2009

So the water is up so high this year that there was no beach, just tall, prickly weeds. The kids still found this sand or mud to play in.

Look at that moat!

Playing catch in the water with Niki and Lyndsie. Atticus is hunched over because the water was freezing! My feet made it in and that's all! Jon went to all the trouble to put his swimsuit on so he went out and swam, head under the water and everything. I should have got a picture to document it.

Scarlett and Lyndsie venturing out to the Lake.

Favorite pastime while camping!

Looking for shells.

Enjoying foil dinners the night before.

Summer Outings

Jon had vacation in July so we were able to do some fun things as a family.
The Zoo
Scarlett's favorite part was the giraffes.

Scarlett looks concerned here, but I think it's just because the french fries were too hot to eat right that instant!

Group photo, it is very hard to get all three of them to look at the same time.

Utah Museum of Natural History

Atticus was not as impressed as you might think with the dinosaur bones. I don't know if he could connect what they really were.

Scarlett was so cute, she wanted her picture taken by the earth, like in Wall-E and Eve.
