Little Bits of Random

We have lots of fun together. I feel so blessed!

Learning about Mars at the Air & Space Museum with cousins:

So excited about Halloween costumes they slept in them:

Trying to make Roy jealous of the fun we were having while he was traveling. He was out to dinner with my parents and sister so we had to be extra convincing:

A little MoTab (Mormon Tabernacle Choir) Christmas concert on a Sunday morning made everyone cuddle up close.

I love when best friends are siblings. 

Non nap days are the worst. This one turned out ok since I got a big snuggle and he feel so deeply asleep I had drool stains. 

Pumpkin Patch

One of our favorite Fall traditions is going to Nall's Produce and visiting the pumpkin patch.  We went on a perfect weather day and had a blast!  Being around a huge variety of pumpkins always makes the kids laugh and the tunnels and (new!) hay pit was a huge hit.

In Other News

We were house hunting all summer. Maybe I will someday memorialize the frustration but it's long and been verbally rehashed too many times already. A few weeks ago, Roy randomly looked at a listing from our realtor and wanted to go see a house. We liked it, but decided to sit on the idea for a few days. We went back again and it just felt right. While we are so sad to leave Springfield, we are excited about moving. Because, guys, we are buying a house. We have been working and saving and planning for so long that it feels unreal that we are doing this. We move in December and projects begin right away. My buddy Andrew had to tough out my first stake-out of Lowe's. Thank goodness there's lots of fun to be found :)

Soccer for Lydia

Since she has been dragged to soccer practices and games for almost 2 years, Lydia and I decided it was time for her to try a class. The practically free enrollment that came as a benefit for Roy coaching the last 2 seasons helped too :). Lydia loves the class and Coach Kurt. He loves Lydia and calls her Goldilocks, Blondie, and, her personal favorite, Sunshine :)
