Halloween

We had a great time this year dressing up as the cast of Tangled, Rebecca's favorite movie. Rebecca was so excited she even agreed to wear the wig.

Noises

Rebecca doesn't like noises. If the noise is loud she puts her hands up to her ears and asks to be held. This is the reason I haven't vacuumed my house in months. If the noise is not too loud then she just closes her eyes and makes weird faces. This is what she looks like when I try to take pictures. I have to take about ten pictures before she calms down and her face relaxes a bit. 

Dog Days of Summer

Summer is coming to a close.

 

 

 

 

 

We had so much fun.

Babies

Rebecca goes back and forth between wanting to take care of a baby and being a baby herself. 

Often times she takes a pacifier out of Isaac's mouth and gives it to her baby.  She used to be really jealous of Isaac, but now I think he is really jealous of her doll.

More Isaac

Everybody has been asking to see more pictures of Isaac. Here are some recent ones. It's getting easier to take pictures now that he can hold his head up better.

Here is Rebecca giving Ikey a few tips on how to be camera ready.

This one is just for fun. I love when babies make funny faces.

Nauvoo

We made a family trip to Nauvoo two weeks ago to attend the Hirst family reunion.  The trip was a bit rough with two young kids.  Rebecca did not sleep a single minute of the red-eye fight.  We learned a lot from the first leg of the trip and promised ourselves that the trip back would be better and easier. In many ways it was.

In Nauvoo we got to attend  a temple session. The temple is beautiful inside and out. That was my favorite part of the trip.

We also visited Liberty Jail. Bellow is a pictures of the window Joseph Smith fell from. It was pretty surreal being in that place.  I had so many thoughts and emotions just thinking about what Joseph went through the day he died.

We also got to take a wagon ride and experience a bit of what the pioneers went through.



Finally, we got to see family members we hadn't seen in years! It was was a really great family vacation.

Rebecca did not sleep on the fight back either but the trip was better. I guess she was a bit used to flying by then.  The trip was really fun even if at times really hard. Overall, we are very happy we were able to attend this family reunion.

Stylish

I got Rebecca a fedora since she wears mine every chance she gets. She looks cute and she knows it. She gets lots of compliments everywhere she goes.
