baby blessing

So, I'm a month behind on these, but here they are anyway. These are some pictures we took after McKay's baby blessing. I've also added a collage of pictures of the kids with Grandma & Grandpa Eggett. They visited with us for 5 days. We are so grateful for their sacrifice in coming out from Utah to see us.



G&G Ensign with the grandkids.

Yes, my dad really is asleep!




Uncle Alan made a full Roman soldier costume for something they did at Scout camp -- he was a counselor this year. Tyler decided to try on part of it.

end of summer

I can't believe summer is over in just a couple of days. I'm very sad. I feel as though my entire summer has just flown by -- can't imagine why I would feel like that. ;-) Here are some pictures of the last couple of weeks.


There are some woods near our house where someone has built up ramps for your bike. This was Tyler's favorite place to go over the summer, and he drug his dad out there almost every day possible! One day we made a family outing of it and got some pictures.

We put Addie and McKay in the tub, and little brother could not get enough of his big sister. He thought she was the coolest thing!

On Labor Day we had a picnic lunch at this man made fishing lake.


We went to the airport after lunch on labor day to watch the last of the 700+ skydivers take the plunge. The kids would have stayed forever!


Puppy eyes

I think Autumn has arrived!
I have such a handsome little man!


Tyler lost his tooth on Wednesday. The tooth fairy kinda forgot until the next morning when Tyler said, "Hey, let's go see what the tooth fairy left me!" I had to do some quick thinking and maneuvering to keep him out of his room and avoid suspicion. I know the tooth fairy can be forgetful, but I COULD NOT forget the first one!

And he lost it on 09/09/09 -- pretty cool.




This is Addie and her best friend, B.

I have to tell you the story behind this picture. Addie's Aunt Stacy sent her this skirt. B's mommy liked it so much she went and bought one for B. I found a pair of these pink glitter shoes for Addie, and since they were on clearance for only $6.48, splurged on them for her. B's mommy saw that I had bought these shoes, and she said, "Oh, B wants a pair of those. She asks for them every time we see them." B's family lives about 30 minutes out of town. So the next day I went back to the store and found one of the last pairs of these shoes and they happened to be in B's size. So, I picked up a pair for her.

B and Addie are the only girls their age in our ward, and they have a typical love/hate best friendship. We are so glad to have B and her family in our ward. We just wish we lived closer to each other!

Oh, and some of the older people in the ward have mistaken the girls for twins -- even when they're not matching.
