catching up again

Yay! It's time to catch up on some stuff between Brooklyn's birthday and our recent trip to Utah.

Brooklyn wore a cute pink dress from Grandma Self to church the day after her birthday -- we thought we'd try another round of "birthday" photos.

Someone wouldn't sit still on the couch...

...but we still got some cute photos.

Brooklyn still likes to point.

Who is this girl giving candy the cold shoulder? Is she really related to Laura? :)

B finally fit into the cool Nike shoes that Austin's aunt Lori gave her...

...she was pretty fascinated and loved the straps. And they look great on her!

Cute kitty shirt from Grandma Taylor!

She loves her new book with sounds and pop-up flaps.

She was really interested in the baby on the wipes box.

We're going to go ahead and call this Brooklyn's first piece of modern art.

She's finding out she can put more than shape blocks inside her box. :)

She loves the stacking rings set she got from her uncle David.

We enjoyed watching General Conference as a family.

Sunday we went to watch conference at Laura's cousin's place on Mercer Island.

Brooklyn and Daddy liked playing outside between the morning talks and the afternoon talks.

It was nice to get some sunshine on the grass...

...and play with leaves.

Brooklyn loved playing with "Big Bear" -- he might have been bigger than Daddy!

She also enjoyed playing with her little buddy Ronan.

Ronan came to visit Brooklyn at the farm park and they made another buddy -- one of the local kitties.


Speaking of buddies, she got to ride in a double-wide stroller with James.

We recently went to a little pumpkin stand...

...and found a little pumpkin! (Well, two if you count Brooklyn...)

Brooklyn enjoyed getting pulled in the wagon...

...and trying to eat her pumpkin.

We are loving the crisp fall weather -- we've been surprised how colorful it is up here. Sometimes it seems like so many of the trees are evergreens, but there are more trees with changing colors than we realized! It's beautiful -- come visit us!
