September Misc

Random September pictures:

The girls were ready for school early one day (this never EVER happens, so I had to take a picture to prove that at least once, we were ready early).  Also they had matching outfits on, and they are just CUTE!

Best friends!

My garden in its glory!

Claire was really excited about this visor she made in kindergarten.

She wanted a picture with me...unfortunately I'm really bad at aiming the camera at myself, sorry!

Playing dress-up: Pirates and Princesses.

Hallie is being Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  She put this outfit together herself! I thought it was pretty good.

Then, of course, Claire wanted to be Izzy too.

Ben holding Shaelyn till she fell asleep.  This was shortly before he entered the MTC (which happened on Sept. 12th).  I sure miss having him around to help me with the baby.  She loved when he would hold her. 

I made JAM!! And lots of it.  It wasn't until I had finished all the strawberry jam that I realized I had been reading the recipe wrong the whole time.  So my jam didn't set up right.  But it still tastes great, so I'm not complaining! And I did the peach jam correctly, so it has a nice set to it.  I really like the flavor of the peach, I think I'll do a lot more peach next year. 

Happy Birthday balloons for Daddy! I love you Rob!!  You are the most wonderful husband in the world! I wish every man in the world were just like you, then the world would be a perfect place.

All my favorite people in one picture...doesn't get much better than this!

Happy blue-eyed baby!

The oldest and the youngest.

Evie showing Shaelyn her clock that she made at preschool.  Cute sisters!

They are my favorite! Whenever I do all-around posts like this, I realize what a wonderful life I have!! I am so grateful for my precious family.
