Pictures and More pictures

Its about time I made it to the library for a new post.  Eli and Lydia are both growing so fast.  Lydia wants me to teach her how to write her letters.  She also loves the great outdoors.  Eli also love to be outside and is often is calm once we are outside.  Otherwise he is as busy as ever.  He is so active and is crawling from room to room.  He also jumps in his bed and love to stand up anywhere.  Today he was standing up next to the fridge pounding on it and squawking in way that seemed to say,"Open up"
Here is a group of picture of what has happened to us in the last month and a half.
 Yesterday we went on a hike to a place called Turner Gulch.  It was tons of fun.  We went with our friends, Matt and Chantel  and some of their family. We went about two miles round trip.  Lydia walked most of it.  Ben packed most everything else.

She has the funniest faces in these last two pictures couldn;t help but show them off.

Lydia's Hair in the three ponytails . She wanted to be like Marigold a character in one of the books we read.

Can you see the dark colored egg?

She will often wear her cowboy boots, and she loves to wear dresses. This is one of her favorite everyday dresses.

Eli is standing  everywhere.  He tries to pull himself up on everything.  When I lay him down for a nap he pulls himself up in his crib and then doesn't quite know how to climb down.  He is getting so big.  In the last two weeks he has learned to army crawl and then crawl and now he is standing.  I can't keep up with him and he seem so old all of the sudden.

About three weeks ago the kids had check ups.  Eli is in the 95% for height and weight and he is about 21 pounds.  Lydia is also int he 90 percentile for height but only the 75th for weight.  She still weighs 30 pounds.  Our little family is growing up.  I didn't get  a chance to post that video but look for it soon.

Happy Halloween

We wen to the ward party and Lydia wanted to be a firefighter and Eli had this adorable Caterpillar costume.  He slept  the whole time because he was so warm in his costume.

here is a costume I made for a girl in our ward. I wish i had gotten a few more pictures.

Visitors

The book said to make funny faces.  I didn't realize until I uploaded this picture that Aubrey has got a funny face too!

He  smiles at you when you talk and interact with him, it is so cute. You can tell that he doesn't want to be left out.

Lesley and Cameron came to visit last week.It was so much fun we enjoyed relaxing and going to the park. We also of course walked behind the waterfall.  Aubrey is so cute and she laughs all the time. She really enjoyed playing and having fun with Lydia.
