They were married in the Manti Temple

Wedding bouquet. 

This weekend was Joseph's wedding.  We had such a wonderful time celebrating.  Here is a picture of some of the flowers that I did.  It was fun to be a part of that.  Lydia also had fun in her matching dress.  I wish that I had gotten more pictures, but I had lost me camera momentarily.

The next day before church so handsome and grown up

At the duck park.  There were two ducks who  hadn't flown south for the winter. Their little pond is frozen over.

They still walk on the ice and they ate all our bread.

The park next to the duck pond.

Smoothie Morning And Lydia the Photographer

I told Lydia that we could have smoothies in the morning.  In the morning she woke up and the first thing out of her mouth was, "Can we have a smoothie, mom?"  She loved it and Eli did too.

Lydia likes to figure out how to use the camera.  She want to take pictures of Eli and me.  So these were the results. Not  bad Huh?

Then of course we had to take one of her too.  So cute.  Her hair curls pretty easily with just a little hair spray or mouse.

Disney on Ice

So a friend of mine invited us to go with her to Disney On Ice Treasure Trove.  It was amazing! Lydia and I loved it.  Ben got to hang out with Eli.  We appreciated it so much.  The performances were better than the movies.  Lydia hadn't seen most of the movies that were reenacted, but i know she enjoyed Tangled and the finale of princesses.
It was hard to take pictures but I managed to get a few.

 Hanging...

Still hanging.... My kids are great! Of course I might be a little, okay, a lot, bias but I can be right.  I am so proud of them.  They teach me tons and we have so much fun together.  We were at a park for a birthday party and they both liked to hang there.  It was pretty cute.  They lasted a while.

Happy Halloween

Let Down your Hair

On Halloween went over to a friends house and  had pizza.  Then we went trick or treating together in a really nice neighborhood. We enjoyed all the fun.  Lydia kept saying, "Another house, another house." She also would try to grab a whole handful at each door.  She was excited for all that candy.

Earlier in the week we made Halloween cookies. Lydia put a face on her pumpkin, but we never got a picture of hers. She only ate her about half of a cookie in one sitting. Eli ate two cookies and loved them.

Got to love that smile.

The Back Yard Park

She was trying to pose with him  and give him a hug but it looks more like a strangle.  Don't worry no one was hurt.

A bit better.

They love the out doors it will be sad when it is too cold.

Here we Are Together!!

Ice cream at the  Daltons.  

Lydia loves little Adalyn

I love her too!! She is so small and it was fun to feed her her bottle.  What an amazing person!

Three of a kind

Love this picture of my family.  

Happy Birthday Aubrey!!!

Lydia helping Aubrey open her present that she gave her.

Eli didn't like the birthday hat at first, but then after a while he couldn't stop playing with it.

I love Adalyn's little stretch here. Aubrey and Adalyn are so cute.

We had so much fun with the cousins.
