November 2019

Little brother is a big fan of the jumperoo. He gets going real crazy and especially when he has an audience cheering him on.

Kaelyn used to love this thing too and wanted to get back in on the fun!

Kaelyn trying on a sweater that was laying around. Silly girl.

These girls can't get enough of their little brother.

Diaper delivery = Playtime

K sure surprised us this year and was the first kid to hop right up on Santas lap at the annual Grandma Ruths Christmas party. We have many pictures of her crying on his lap at this party so this was a big deal and made us all smile. She was a BIG fan of his bells.

Kaelyn and her buddy Ames going wild on the train! Kaelyn got them going so high they toppled over backwards but neither were injured and they both hopped right back on for more.

Love an afternoon snuggle with the little guy.

The girls were watching a Little Mermaid special on tv and of course Bryn took it to the next level by dressing up and building herself a rock to lounge on.

I was able to get away for a night with some of the amazing mamas I have been through having children with Down Syndrome. We have been getting together for at least 6 years and its always a good time.

Had to get a picture of Alek in his cement truck outfit to send to Papa Paul. He didn't appreciate the Utah beanie though.

This is what it looks like to work from home with a newborn.

Alek loves the fun exer-saucer  at Aunty Oakley's

I surprised the girls with Disney on Ice tickets. It was our first time going and we had a great time.

Bryn wanted to know what it feels like to be swaddled like a baby.

Dog pile on Daddy!!

Mr Handsome all dressed up for church.

Our new backdoor neighbor Lucy. She is so tiny and sweet. I can't believe Alek was this small just a couple months ago!!

Trying out the bumbo

Snuggled up in one of his favorite napping spots.

Looking good in another Sunday outfit

We had a nice Thanksgiving with our Bonner cousins but of course missed Grandma and Grandpa Bonner.

These girls were so excited to play with Travis and Lisa's bunnies.

Playtime with buddy Jack

October 2019

As usual October was a full and fun month! After a couple months with little brother we started to settle into our new normal.

The girls got their school pictures back and they were all adorable.

Conference weekend we took a fun drive up Butterfield Canyon to the top of the Bingham Cooper Mine with our buddies the Andersons.

Baby Jack in his warm Cookie Monster outfit.

Nothing like a nice conference nap in the mountains.

Back to backs of Alek and his best bud Jack out on their first family adventure.

I love that Alek has zero hair on top of his head and Jack has plenty to share.

On October 12 we were able to combine Bryn's baptism day with Alek's blessing. It was a beautiful morning and we are so glad they were able to do these two important things together.

Bryn was able to wear the dress that Jaymi wore to the temple when she was sealed to us.

Happy baby in his blessing sweater suit.

Alek and his buddy Jack all dressed up.

Bryn's cute gymnastics carpool came to her baptism. I love that they support each other at special times like this!

Dad playing around with a new setting on his phone camera.

A little Halloween photo shoot while the girls waited for their flu shots.

During fall break Kaelyn had a procedure done in the cath lab that replaced her pulmonary valve. We were so blessed that she was able to get this done rather than needing to do open heart surgery as they thought they would have to do. She was a trooper and so was Wayne as they had a rough night at the hospital, but after a few days she was back to herself with even more energy and fiest!

Alek hanging out on the blanket with his buddy Henry.

Dad and the girls out did themselves with their jack-o-lanterns this year.

Jaymi with her Mia's before their cheer Halloween party.

Some fun shots of the little guy.

Kaelyn came and stole him right out of my arms.

All bundled up to watch Bryn's costume parade.

Alek sneaking the "made you look" sign.

Nothing like a father and son snooze session.

Sister snuggles

Halloween jammers

Oakley and I got real adventurous one night and took all our kids to the food trucks. We got to take advantage of the fall sunshine.

Love when I catch these two sisters being besties.

Our bud Brynley puts on the best Halloween cookie decorating party every year.

Hanging out at Dr. Mitzi's while I fed the little guy.

I love that Bryn has started reading chapter books and sneaks in a chapter or two before bed.

We took the girls to breakfast with the witches at Gardener Village.

I sure got spoiled on my birthday. My favorite part was the list of 36 reasons my family love me.

Halloween morning snuggles with Bryn and Masha

Wayne was able to make it home in time for Jaymi's school costume parade.

Bryn, Alek and I rushed over to Kaelyn's parade after she finished TOPS.

Bryn's class

Little man all bundled up for the action.

Jasmine, Mal and Evie ready to hit the hood.

Cousin Hudson joined us for a bit of trick or treating.

Can't beat a gorgeous Halloween Night sunset while we are out trick or treating.
