A Few More Pics From October...

Here's one last catch-up post with some of the other fun things we did in October...

Oakley started smiling and laughing! Baby smiles are the cutest thing ever!

We went to Nauvoo for Stake Conference. Our building is under construction so they weren't broadcasting it from Kirksville. We stayed in a condo with a few other couples and had so much fun!

Me and my girls

Saylor calls it the Naboo Temple

A few more shots of Saylor in her Aurora dress...this girl knows how to pose!

When I put Oakley in Saylor's old clothes I feel like I have another mini Saylor...so fun!

Pretty much impossible to get a good shot when they are both looking and smiling...

Say loved the Truman Homecoming Parade and she got tons of candy!

Oakley and Ty at the ward hayride activity

More cute pics of my smiley babe!

Saylor, Elliana and Oakley hanging out at the park

Enjoying Missouri's beautiful fall weather

These last pics are from the Children's social at Truman Farms when Saylor got to go on a hayride and pick a pumpkin. She was so excited!

Oakley's Baby Blessing

When we were in Utah back in September we decided to bless Oakley. She wore the same dress Saylor was blessed in and she looked oh so cute...

Oakley Kirstie with her Auntie Kirstie

Even though Oakley is named after Kirstie she sure looks a lot like her Aunt Autumn. We think she has Autumn's nose and lips which are both super cute so we don't mind at all.

With her honorary Aunt Sass

A bunch of cute cousins

Oakley and her Daddy-

I know Ty really wants some boys eventually but he sure is an amazing dad to our little girls! I'm grateful to have a righteous husband to bless our children.

It was so fun to let everyone see Oakley while she was still small. Originally no one was going to get to meet her until Christmas and by then she'll be over 4 months old. There's nothing like a sweet newborn babe and I loved that all our family got to hold and snuggle her.

Oakley is so blessed to have two sets of the best grandparents ever!

Our happy little family of 4!

Grandma Leavitt

My 93-year old Grandma passed away in September.

She was an amazing woman who set such a great example for all of us. She was so full of spunk and energy, even at 93. She was a great storyteller and always so generous. You could never leave her house without her giving you something to take home.

When she was put in the hospital I felt so extremely blessed that we were able to come all the way from Missouri and see her before she died and then attend her funeral.

We'll miss you Grandma Leavitt!

Halloween Festivities

Halloween was so so much fun this year. We celebrated all month long. I decided it is definitely one of my favorite holidays. These pictures are way out of order but here are some of the fun things we did for Halloween...

Saylor at the SAA trunk or treat

There were SO many Halloween parties this year that I told Ty we probably didn't need to have one at our house again. Ty informed me that we will be having a Halloween party at our house EVERY year for the rest of our lives, haha, and I'm so glad we did because it was SO much fun! It's fun to have a husband who likes to party!

Doing the traditional donuts on a string, couple style! Things got a little crazy...don't worry, there is a donut between them!

The kids doing the cake walk

Saylor REALLY enjoyed her cupcake!

Say hitting the ghost pinata-

I think she thought it was her birthday or something with all her friends at her house for a party!

The kids grabbing all the candy

I had to get pictures of some of our friends awesome Halloween costumes!

You can't see it very well but Lacey has got a big bun in that oven!

This year Ty decided to make our already super creepy basement into a spook alley. Sadly I didn't get any pics but I'm pretty sure it was some of the kids favorite part of the night! We also had some super delicious soups, desserts and homemade root beer with dry ice!

Saylor got to dress up as Aurora so many times that I had her wear her cheerleading outfit to one of the Halloween parties. She was a very cute cheerleader. She was especially good at yelling, "Go Team!" and clapping her hands.

Saylor having a Halloween lunch with some of her friends

Saylor made such a beautiful Princess Aurora, she got so excited to put her costume on!

We had some couples over to make haunted gingerbread houses

Ty is very into having "family" costumes. Since Saylor wanted to be Sleeping Beauty, we went as Sleeping Beauty's parents and Oakley was one of the fairies.

Ty was pretty excited about his goblet, haha!

This was Saylor's first year carving a pumpkin

Our family's awesome pumpkin

Oakley with her friends Adelyn and Elliana

Oakley looked so cute in her little Halloween jammies!

On Halloween night we decided to take Saylor trick or treating for her first time. I felt so old taking her around to the houses. She had so much fun and got SO much candy!
