September

Yes, it has been about a month since the last update. So here it is at a glance...

Patrick's younger brother Kevin came down to stay with us for a couple of weeks and we LOVED having him here! He is so much fun and Paige just about gobbled him to pieces - she just couldn't get enough! And I was in heaven having some adult interaction during the days. Thanks for all the help and fun Kev!

Awww... brotherly love.

Also, my sister Chelsea and her husband Shane flew in from Spokane for a weekend and they are expecting their first little babe in just about 5 weeks!!!! I am SO pumped! But if you know Chel at all she hates surprises and showers... so her lovely friend Randi and I decided to throw her a surprise shower! HAHAHA!! It was hilarious and she was a little bit mad at first, but I think she got over it. It was all out of love... okay, and a little bit selfishness just to see her face.

Big man Cal is mastering the Bumbo - he's getting pretty good without it as well. Such a studly little man. He has also been sleeping like a CHAMP for quite some time now - about 8pm to 6am every night. I am SO grateful. And he's one heck of a heartbreaker with that little sideways smile of his.


And of course little miss P-diddy. I just can never take enough pictures of this chiquita. Love her to pieces.

Yup, she's still hard core into dress-up and even more so now that she got some new dolling up goods from Grandma Forbis - thank you thank you!

"Snap me darling, I just can't stand how beautiful I am."

And the other night I took Cal to the Relief Society broadcast with me so Paige and Patrick could have a Daddy-Daughter night and this is what I came home to:

FORT-MANIAAAA!!!!! They had so much fun renting all her favorite movies, cooking a pizza together, chowing down ice cream and building this fort to just go crazy in. What a great night to remember.

Labor Day Lovin'

We had a little "stay-cation" over Labor Day weekend but definitely made the most of it. We had a family swim night and took Cal for his first dip. He LOVED it! And I have to say that he's got the cutest little man-boobs I've ever seen. Hilarious. Also one morning Paige and I had WAY too much time to kill so I straightened her hair. It was crazy not to see her little curls bouncing around - I hardly recognized her. Such a sassy little thing.
