Sea Life Aquarium

A week ago my mother took us to the Sealife Aquarium at Arizona Mills mall. It was a lot cooler than expected and Tori (of course) was in heaven.

being a crab

She liked the starfish but did not want to touch them.

She was a little scared at first to look through the dome but with help from aunt rachel she agreed.

a little scared

Best part was being surrounded by Nemo fish and Dori fish

corbin of course was great the whole time.

we just had to end the night with a seahorse ride.

Baby & Me

A friend in my ward took Corbin and mine photos a month ago and I had a little fun with them in photoshop. This month we will maybe get family photos done.

Park day

I took the kids to the park for the first time since Corbin was born and they both enjoyed themselves. ....man i have some wonderful kids.

it's raining it's pouring... for 2 minutes

Tori got to enjoy our first fall weather for about two minutes. and she loved every minute of it.

My baby looks so big in this picture. she is growing so much.

I love to be a mother

Some houses try to hide the fact
that children shelter there.
Ours boasts of it quite openly,
the signs are everywhere.
For smears are on the windows,
little smudges on the doors,
I should apologize, I guess,
for toys strewn on the floor.
But I sat down with the children
and we played and laughed and read;
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
their eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I'm forced to choose
the one job or the other;
I like to be a housewife but
I love to be a mother.

This is the face she makes right before she is about to do something mischievous

Antelope Hunt

This weekend we went to Southern Utah for the Antelope hunt. We had a wonderful time hanging out with family and enjoying some cooler weather. The first day it just rained and stormed on us making it ideal for some nice photos.

tori spent the entire weekend outside with the animals. Brett's sister, Natalie, has chickens, a duck, a pig, a dogs, some cats, and some horses. It was a dream come true.

We got to teach her how to blow a dandelion for the first time.

She was also Grandpa's girl for the weekend.

The boys were able to get the antelope opening morning! So we had lot of time to explore the area which included Bryce Canyon.

Corbin was excited to sit with both of us in the back of truck and just smiled at us the whole time.

after a while the animals knew who would give them the most attention and started just following her around

Our brother in law Tim was able to find a horse and carriage to pull us all around town in

Me and my sister in law Natalie

Obviously Tori had a wonderful time.

The last night we had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows.

I don't think Grandma put Corbin down the whole weekend.
