Our Kids Blessings

So I know that Peyton is 4 already and Houston is 4 months old today, but I finally got both of them blessed last Saturday. I wanted to have Peyton blessed when she was a baby but kept putting it off until my family was all in town at the same time and before I knew it she was 1 and I just thought it was too late. Then when Houston was born I wanted to have him blessed but felt that I couldn't have him blessed if Peyton wasn't blessed. So I called up my bishop and got his approval to have the kids blessed at our house the same day. Bradyn's Uncle Ralph performed the blessings and did a really good job. We are so happy that he did this for us. It all turned out really good even though I was sad that my dad and my brother couldn't attend. And after the blessing everybody ate lunch at our house and just hung out.

The Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday I took Peyton and Houston to this cute pumpkin patch just down the road from Bradyn's parents house. Bradyn's parents, my sister in-law Haylee, her kids Preslie and Colter, and Bradyn's cousin Jake and Tana's kids Hallie and Hazen all went as well. The kids had a fun time picking out their pumpkins, playing in the corn maze, riding in the wheel barrel and sitting on the tractor. I didn't get any pictures of Houston though because it was too cold to get him out of the stroller and he just slept the whole time. After we all went to pumpkin patch, Grandpa Brent took us all to McDonald's so the kids could play on the playground.

More Family Pictures

So I said that I would put up some more of our family pictures once I received them so here they are. Sorry I included so many but we don't have our family pictures taken as often as I think we should and I am just so excited that these turned out so good. At least I think they turned out good. There not so perfect poses and that's what I love about them.

Family Pictures

Last Saturday, Me, Bradyn, Peyton and Houston along with my brother and sister in-law, Hadley and Haylee and their 2 kids, Preslie and Colter went up Butterfield Canyon to have our family pictures taken by Lindsay Wright Photography. I was worried that the leaves might not have changed color yet but we knew we wanted to do it last Saturday because the weather was so nice. Well as you can see from the pictures, the leaves had definately changed color. We were extactic! I think Lindsay did a really great job with the pictures. She even got some really cute ones of the kids.

I got these pictures off of Lindsay's blogspot at http://lindsaywrightphotography.blogspot.com/. We should have the disk with all the pictures by this Saturday, but I couldn't wait to post some of the cute ones she had on her site aleady. You should check her site out, she does really great work and you will be able to see some of Hadley and Haylee and their kids pictures as well. When I get the rest of the pictures I will post some more.
