Zane was able to finally take the Cruiser to Moab! He went with Matt and Brian and some of Matt’s friends. Zane felt bad for leaving me home alone with the kids, so I told him that he could drop us off in Gypsum and we could hang with the Jaramillo’s and he didn’t have to feel guilty.
So here are a few pictures from his trip! This was about two weeks ago.

Kyla making some of her silly faces.

Our ward had a Renaissance Festival the other week that we went to. Kyla enjoyed getting her face painted and wearing her fairy wings. Oh and we can’t forget her tutu!! We all enjoyed the funnel cake!

Barrett has been a bit more cranky lately and clingy. One day I noticed he had a tooth coming in and a few days later the one next to it came through. I have been meaning to get a picture of his new smile and I captured it the other day when we were at the park!

Barrett has been crawling for a few months now. It started as an army crawl and now he crawls on his hands. He likes to follow Kyla around and tries to climb up the stairs, he only makes it to the first step. Kyla usually goes up the stairs and says, “come on Barrett.”
The other morning while we were waiting for Kyla to wake up I took some pictures of him on the stairs.

These pictures are actually from the end of July. Barrett is a much cleaner eater now, not clean just cleaner. Just wanted to share these!

I helped throw a surprise Baby Shower for a friend a few weeks ago! It actually stayed a surprise, which I couldn’t believe. I felt bad keeping it a secret, because I am sure she thought she was not going to have a shower at all, but it was so worth it! We Love You H and we can’t wait for that baby boy to arrive!!
I did not get a picture of her when she came in because I had left my camera in the living room.

Here is the invitation that I made.

Some cupcake pops from Bakerella’s site that we made for the shower. They were so good.

I made this paper cake for favor’s. I was wanting to top it with a stuffed giraffe, but I couldn’t find anything cute so I settled for the baby’s name on the top! I filled each piece of cake with hershey kisses!

And here are a few pictures of H opening up some gifts. We were able to get several people to go in on a few big items! It was a great surprise!!

We took a drive with the Jaramillo’s, the Mayne’s, and the Henderson’s on Labor Day. We drove from Gypsum to Leadville on all backroads. It was beautiful and I am sure it is gorgeous now with the leaves changing.

We stopped to look at a waterfall down below. The Jaramillo’s jeep is in front of our Cruiser.

We came across a lot of Wild Raspberries, which we stopped several times to pick.

The kids were throwing rocks almost every time we would stop. I thought this picture was funny because of the look on Max’s face as he is handing rocks to Kyla. It was good to see them get along this time. Usually Kyla only wants to play with Cassie and Max gets left out.

Max and Kyla!!

Here is a picture of the sign at the top of Hagerman Pass. It was so cold up there and windy!

In Leadville we ate at “The Grill”, its a Mexican restaurant. It was very good, but the only problem was Kyla had eaten some Reeses Pieces and by the time we were loading up in the Cruiser to leave she was throwing up. Luckily Zane caught most of it, so her car seat was still clean (for the most part). We cleaned her up and headed home. Poor Thing.

Over Labor Day weekend we went up to Gypsum to celebrate Cassie’s Eighth birthday. She was baptized on Saturday. We always enjoy going to spend time with the Mayne’s and Jaramillo’s! It’s our home away from home. Before Cassie’s baptisms, Kyla and Missy’s kids were playing outside in the irrigation ditch.

Here is Cassie and her Dad!

Cassie with her family!

And of course I needed to throw a picture in here of Derrick. He always does this GQ thing (tries anyway) when I have my camera out.

After her baptism we went back to the Mayne’s so Cassie could open up her gifts. Here is a picture of her with her first set of scriptures! After gifts we went to Beaujo’s in Glenwood!

Kyla found a new spot for her bath at Grandma’s!! Grandma was giving Barrett a bath in her Laundry room sink and Kyla wanted a turn. She actually no longer cares about taking a bath in this sink, but now she loves to take a rain shower at Grandma’s house!
