Manly thing to do!

One of our good friends invited Josh to do go kart racing for his birthday. They had lots of fun and the men loved it.

The whole group: Grant is the birthday boy

 Getting ready to go. Good luck, honey!

 All the fans, watching the race!

 Dad, you are the winner in our book, even though you lost the actual race. haha!

Starting him young....

It's never too early to start the obsession with Sports....

Now its really getting good. 

I love my daddy!!

Grayson is moving and growing!!

Another recap on this little man...

He is now a crawling machine, he was trying for over a month to get the crawling going and I thought for sure he would have it by halloween, but it didn't quite get there. He did get the hang of it soon after and is getting places very fast and I am barely able to walk out of a room before he follows or disappears!

He loves real food! He will eat whatever I put in front of him and is growing bored with baby food. It is really nice to feed him all the leftovers in the fridge and he doesn't mind the browning bananas. haha!

Getting him to laugh is still a struggle, but if he gets thrown in the air, or hangs upside down and you tickle his tummy, you are sure to get a few laughs!!

Here's his monthly beauty shots:

8 months

9 months

10 months

Gosh he is so handsome!! Love that smile!!

Moments that matter most....

Grayson was not feeling very good one evening when the whole family came over for dinner, and Papa John was the only one who could keep him asleep. Jayla ended up coming down with a fever that night as well. Love this snuggle time!!

Watching a movie with daddy in their princess tent. They love doing this with daddy, and we let them sleep all night in it.

Oh, hello Grayson!!

Another one of those sick nights....and he looks oh so sweet in daddy's arms!!

First Bath with all three kids!! The girls would not leave their brother alone, and he wouldn't stop splashing. Didn't work very well, but it made bathtime a little faster.

A cat, a witch and a court jester!!

That's right, you guessed it. Our halloween costumes!! I know we are already into december, but I want to document this stuff!!

The first set of pictures was before our ward's trunk-or-treat. The kids had a great time and came home with plenty of goodies!

Sadee-CAT!!

The very sad witch....or maybe, its "bad mood" witch.

At least the baby jester was in a happy mood!!

We carved out pumpkins, thanks to my mom for donating hers to us. The girls actually really got into it this year, and helped get all the slime out.

The girls drew on their own faces and josh did his best to cut them out as accurate as possible!!

The scary faces, and the jack-o-lanterns too!!

The actual Halloween night!!

Jayla became the happy witch this time!!

Cute little coy Sadee-Cat!!

And the very happy baby jester!!

Figuring out the crawling thing and loving it!!

Jayla's first halloween school party

I am so grateful that I get to be a mom and be apart of all the fun little moments in my daughter's life. It was fun to see her interact with her friends and see all the boyish costumes we aren't able to experience yet.

Jayla at her table, not eating. No shocker there!!

Jayla's favorite boy friend!! Side story: I took Jayla to school one day and as we were getting her backpack in her cubby, this little boy turned to his dad and "Dad, that's Jayla." She of course, smiled and giggled at him. Where she learned that I do not know?? So funny!! They really are good buddies.

Jayla and her girl friends!!

The whole class!! And yes, there are a lot more boys than girls. Such is our life!!

Jayla and her teacher!!

Bedtime story with Daddy

The girls love bedtime stories when their dad reads to them. Sometimes we let Grayson join them. I love how all three of them are sitting up on the bed completely enthralled in the simple story. Love these moments!

It was almost a cute shot!! Love these little ones!!
