From Doug's Point of View

Ack!  Another post from me today!  Sorry!  I finally got a hold of Doug's phone and got some of the photos off of it.  A few weeks ago for FHE we took a walk to the local park to play.  This was Mabel's attire.  I love it.  So glad she brought her dog too.
 Sophia hanging on the monkey bars
 Lewis trying them out.
 I'm kind of a sucker for little baby face profiles.  Love this one!
 Here's a bonus one from Wales when Lewis and I went on a 4 wheeler ride.
Family picture.  Yes this is the best one.  What is wrong with my kids! 
 Having fun with the kids meal prizes from a few weeks ago.
Three generations watching the football game!
 Love my kiddos!
 Lewis had some crazy hair going on one night.
So smiley again! Our kids have been obsessed with playing obstacle courses or sharks and minnows (sharks and Nemos as Mabel calls it) in the backyard. This little guy joined us out there one day.
Lilly's Jack-o-lantern.  She designed the face and I think she did a great job!
This week was red ribbon week so there was  different theme every day.  The first day they wore red mustaches to school, then it was crazy from head to toe day, then sports team day and today was jammy day.  It was a pretty fun week for them!

Apples, pumpkins (and a few I forgot!)

Phew!  I think I'm almost caught up.  I forgot to include this one in a previous post.  Here's a selfie from Sophia with spooky monster glasses.  I love how her teeth are looking pretty spooky too!
A few weeks ago some friends and I met up at a delicious new place in Provo call the Choclate Mousse.  It's a pie bar I guess?  Anyway, you get to pick different crusts and mousses to go on top.  It was quite delicious.  I think the hazelnut and dark chocolate were my faves.
They were served in these cutest little shot glasses.  Pretty sure it's a place we'll need to visit the next time my sistas are in town!
I meant to put this one in on the last post of Lewis too. He's been joining me on some morning jogs but it's been a little chilly so he likes to be all bundled up.
Now onto the pumpkins and apples.  Mabel brought this awesome pumpkin home from preschool a few days ago.  Its material wrapped around some toilet paper.  Love it!
Last weekend we went up to my parents house to make apple juice!  It was so fun.  We first had to pick the apples
 And then we got to press them!
 Thomas grinding some apples.
It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun!  These two apples came from the same tree.  I love them!
 We also picked our pumpkins last weekend and had fun carving them.
 So spooky! 
We had a face carved out of a spaghetti squash, a cat, a dog, and an awesome face that Lilly designed.
 Love them all!

School Pictures, Fall Break and some Lewis!

A few weeks ago we had fall break.  Lucky for us we still had cousins in town!  One of the days we met up at Arctic Circle for lunch (don't mine whatever it is I'm doing with my mouth). 
Sophia also got her hair cut during fall break!  I've wanted her to cut it for a long time but she's never wanted to.  She finally decided she wanted it so I hurried and jumped on it before she changed her mind!
Another fun thing during fall break was that we got the angel Moroni put on top of the Payson Temple. That was fun to see!
We also went to the movies one of the days and saw "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2".  The girls liked it and had fun playing on the fountain outside the theater too.
We also were able to have everyone down for a football game which was a lot of fun.  I think Lewis really liked it too!
Spooky apple cider floats.  We're excited for Halloween!
This is kind of a random one of Lilly but my mom got her this dress at the Dollhouse Festival a few weeks ago.  I absolutely love it and so does she!
And now for some Lewis shots.  I woke up to this face a few days ago.  Not much to complain about!
 Here's some bathtime shots too. He absolutely loves the bath and loves to splash!
Finally (don't know why it's crooked) he turned 5 months old!  This first year is going by WAY to fast!
Now onto school pictures.  Here's Mabel's from preschool
And her cute class.  I lover her face in this one.
 Lilly came home with this the other day.  Way to go Lil!
 Here's Lilly's pic
 and sweet Sophia's.
I think they turned out pretty good this year!
