Halloween 2020

 Today was different than our traditional Halloween’s, not only were a lot of things cancelled due to Covid-19 but we laid Justin’s sweet grandma Ruth to rest today. She lived to be 101 years old and was such a sweet lady. She always made me feel loved and welcome and for that I’ll always love her! The service was beautiful and I know that she is in a better place, I am sure it was such a sweet reunion when she was able to be with her husband and loved ones again. 

After the services we went home and prepared for our Halloween plans. Aunt Emily, uncle Logan and uncle Brady came to visit since were blessing Hailey tomorrow (11/1). When they got here Logan, Justin, Brady and Lexi went for long board rides and then we got ready and went to Justin’s brothers house for a party. Justin took Lexi trick or treating and she had a blast. She ran from door to door and for so much candy! We played games ate great food and enjoyed each other’s company. What a great Halloween! 

Hailey Jane: 3 Months

 10.25.20 

Three months! I cannot believe you’ve been a part of our family for 3 months already. Time really is a thief, we’ve had such a fun month! You went with me, Lexi, aunt Dorothy and Mariah to the pumpkin patch. You met aunt Emily and uncle Logan for the first time over conference weekend, attended church for the first time and your first funeral for your great grandma Ruth. Last but not least your first Halloween! What a month, and the family holiday fun has just started! 

Well you’ve started to be a little picky in your eating, you used to nurse on both sides and for long periods of time but for a couple of weeks you only would eat on one side off and on for short periods of time. So I took you into the children’s clinic to make sure you were gaining weight, and luckily you were! You are 10 lbs. 2.5 oz and have the cutest rolls! You still have that head of beautiful red hair and are in size 1 diapers and  3 month clothes. 

We sure love you Hailey, you’re such a joy in our lives. We love watching you learn and grow each day, I especially enjoy your sweet coos and the special bond you have already with your sister Lexi! 

Pumpkin Patch & Halloween kick off 2020

 10.01.20

We took our annual family trip to Swore Farms to get our pumpkins, and boy was this one for the books. This year we went on opening day and they weren't quite set up so we took one of their wagons and hiked to the pumpkin patch. It wasn't a cool day mind you so we were hot and sweaty by the time we got there and then we had to pick the pumpkins off the vine. Haha! Even though it wasn't quite what we expected we still had a great time and enjoyed each others company. 

Later that night we had a visit from the Spooky Ooky Spider, he spun his web around Lexi's room to lead her to some fun Halloween surprises. He is a magical spider who visits our house until Halloween night to make sure the kids are well behaved. He left the girls pajamas and a couple of books for our Halloween collection. Sure love making memories with my sweet girls!
