Another Awesome Autumn Photo Shoot with Aubrey

Aubrey took an awesome autumn photo shoot of our family in the Provo Canyon. I am horrible at eliminating pictures so you will have to let me know which ones are your favorite.





I know this is very cliche, but, wow, our backs are so beautiful.


Ooh, look at that "wonderwear!"




I love this picture of everyone but me. I think I was talking and hurried into a smile.


I love this picture, but it is not as cute of Fiona.


I love this picture too, but Moriah is a little bit cut off.


Our beautiful girl


Trying to keep the tickle monster away.


The wind blowing her hair while she has deep thoughts.


"Alright, I will smile for you, but this dress is getting a little short."




"Am I done?"


I also love this picture, but Moriah's smile is a bit cheesy.


I think this picture is funny--CHEESE!


Another funny one--Moriah's crazy eyeballs.




The Mr. and Mrs.


"Finally, they put me down so I can explore."


Cute little Daddy's girl


I love the toes.


Fiona looking at the camera. (I am not sure which one of Evan and Fiona I like best.)

Falling Leaves

When we got back from our bike ride, Moriah was so excited to find the leaves falling from our tree. She began picking the leaves from the tree to help.

While we were busy enjoying the leaves, Peaches, our neighbor's cat, entered our open house. When we went inside, Moriah exclaimed, "Get out!" She ran to tell me that there was a cat in our house. We had to get the cat out from under my bed. I am glad Moriah noticed the cat in our house.

Bike Riding

I finally used my jogging stroller as a trailer. Moriah likes sitting on the bike the best. We rode to a park in Provo Canyon, but I ended up just pushing her around on the bike.


Fiona finally woke up.

Thursday Dinners on Tuesday

I finally stopped being lazy and started our Thursday dinners with our single college siblings again, but the dinners are now on Tuesday. I love having a house! The last time we did Thursday dinners was in the Provo apartment. This weekend will be our year anniversary of living in our house. Crazy!

Moriah did not get to go trick-or-treating at her aunts' and uncle's house so Fiona and Moriah dressed up for them. Then Moriah trick-or-treated at their pretend house downstairs. Breezy's house was the laundry room. Melinda's house was the Venetian bedroom. Chandler's house was the family room. Brandon's house (Melinda's friend) was the bathroom.

Fiona buzzing through the air.

Look at those teeth! Fiona has been a little dangerous nursing these days.

Wow! The butterfly is flying.

"Yes! I am finally getting the candy!"

"This stinking costume is cramping my crawling."

We love Chandler!

Moriah did not quite get the idea of talking on the phone when the person is right next to you.

A Walk on BYU Campus

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day, we invited Macey to walk around BYU campus with us. Moriah loved throwing the leaves. She would not sit still. Fiona was scared of the crazy, leaf-throwing Moriah.



After feeding the ducks, we had to eat fruit leather.

I walked up these steps, but Moriah and Macey had to walk along the rail on the sloping concrete.

The trees were getting them so they finally decided to use the stairs.

Water!

Macey wanted to run around in the water, but I convinced her to just stick her feet in.

Two little buddies that got along really well until it is time for a nap:-)

Halloween

We began our day with carving pumpkins. Evan's mom sent us a carving kit a couple Halloween's ago. We finally used it. Evan created some cute pumpkins. Moriah refused to help clean out the pumpkins.

Macey came over to join the girls in our ward trunk or treat and trick or treating. Here is our little bumble bee, a lion, and a butterfly on Evan's pumpkin. Fiona had her nine month check-up and was in the fifth percentile for her weight at 15 lbs 8 oz, twenty-fifth for her height at 25 3/4 inches, and fiftieth for her head. She is definitely a little bumble bee.


The girls did not quite get trunk or treating, but they loved there candy. The girls got trick or treating better (not as face paced as trunk or treating). Macey really got into it and was running from house to house.

The girls loved singing "Happy Birthday" to Thomas, too.

Moriah blew out all of Thomas's candles.

Moriah is a really good back-seat driver. We were driving to show GG the girls' costumes. Moriah told Evan that he needed to stay stopped when he was turning right at a red light. She also remembers how I hit the side of the garage with the side mirror when I was backing out of the garage. (Evan fixed the mirror with crazy glue.) She still reminds us not to hit the wall.
