The Park and the Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we took the kids to the park to play, then over to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins.  My kids LOVE going to the pumpkin patch and look forward to it every year.   Ashlyn and Mady picked the little pumpkins that are in the wagon with them.  Zach however always looks for the biggest/coolest pumpkin he can find.;)

Happy Haunted Halloween

Every year the kids get SO excited for halloween.  They start planning months in advance what they are going to be and everything.  It is so much fun to see them so excited.  This year we bought a haunted gingerbread house at target to put together for family night.  Zach is my I'm serious...don't bug me while I'm creating my wall.  Ashlyn and Mady are more like the more sprinkles and candy corns I can put on this thing the better.;)

Baby Ezra

Wil's little brother Tom and his wife Deanna had a sweet little baby boy on 10/1 and my kids have been so excited to see their new cousin.  Tom is working close to where we live, so they drove over today to let us see their sweet little boy.  He is definitely a little bradshaw boy.  We all LOVE him!  He is very cute and tiny and makes lots of fun little facial expressions.  Here are some pictures of the girls just helping Aunt Deanna feed him and of Uncle Tom holding his little boy.  So glad that they came over to let us hold and love on their sweet baby boy!   Uncle Tom and Aunt Deanna were very sweet to let Ashlyn and Mady crowd all over that cute little boy...they even helped Uncle Tommy carry baby Ezra in his car seat out to the car!

Whitney's Baptism

Well usually we load up the car and all head up to UT for a family baptism or wedding...this time with Wil's work schedule being so crazy and Zach and Ashlyn in school I just jumped on a plane for the weekend.  I  flew into SLC on thursday and got to go spend the night with Wil's sister up in Ogden.  We had a good time just visiting.  Then Friday I got to go with my sisters and parents to my cousins wedding.  It was fun to see lots of my cousins.  Saturday I got to watch my nephew's football game, then go to Whitney's Baptism.  It is kind of crazy because she is only a year and a half older then Zach which means we are getting close to that stage in life.  I love Miss Whitney...she is such a fun girl that is just so sweet!  Here are some pictures from her special day.  So glad that I got to go be a part of her special day.

It's a

We went to the Dr today to find out if we are having another girl or another
boy...... Zach has Been praying all along that he would get a little brother..... He got his prayers answered today and we couldn't be more excited!;). Two boys, and two girls... Game over!

Dancin Dayz Competition

Ashlyn has been taking tap and ballet for the last year and loved every minute of it!  She had three recitals through out the year.  I didn't get any pictures really because I was back stage mom with her class.  Then in July we got to go down by Palm Springs for her first dance competition....She was in heaven!  All those fun dances and you get a TROPHY!!!!!  This little girl rocked it on stage!!!!!   I couldn't have asked for her to do any better.  I love how she can be the sweetest shy little girl, then get out on a stage in front of probably 1000 people and just go for it without a care in the world.  Their dance was called you may think that I'm too small...really I am NOT at all!  Ashlyn was even able to catch a nap in the middle.  Her dance was #3 and there were 160 dances before the first set of awards were given out.  Love Love Love my sweet Ashlyn!!!! We are so proud of her.  Now this year she has chosen Tumbling/Cheerleading (for those of you that know me...this is not really my cup of tea) She loves it already!

First Day of School

So I haven't been updating lately due to the fact that this PREGNANCY has been rough and we MOVED into a new house.  So I'm not really going to play catch up right now, I am just going to start from here!  Zach and Ashlyn both went back to school last week.  Here are pictures of them all dressed for the first day of 1st grade and preschool.
