Ashlyn is 3

Ashlyn really wanted a helmet for her birthday. She didn't ask for a bike, but we figured you can't have a helmet without a bike, so we got her both. Dora is her favorite right now, so it is all Dora. She is doing better than I expected. She rides it to the bus stop everyday to pick up the kids.

Happy Halloween!

Dallin asked me all day when it would be night so he could trick or treat. Then he kept telling me all night. "I LOVE Trick or Treating. This is so FUN!" Halloween was fun as a kid, but I have to say, I think I enjoy it even more having young kids. 

Dallin was a vampire, and really got into character. 

We borrowed this football uniform from a friend for Tanner.

Ashlyn started out as a bee, but we went to a party at Nate's work and they had face painting, and she got a bunny face painted on. Luckily we had bunny ears, so she switched to a bunny. No pictures, but she was cute.

And Amber was a pumpkin for a while, but you know how baby's are; poop and barf on everything, so she wore pajamas trick or treating and fell asleep.

 The kids trick or treated with their cousins, Joel and Drew again this year. And the older kids ran the entire night, no joke. We got through our neighborhood so fast.

Amber 4 months

First thing my grandma said when she saw Amber after not seeing her for 2 months was, "She eats well." In other words, she is getting fat. It is true, she is getting chubby. I love kissing these cheeks. She continues to be a happy, sweet baby.

Captain Underpants, aka Dallin & some Amber

Dallin saw a book at the library about Captain Underpants, and wanted to dress up, I mean, dress down like him. He even made up a song and dance. Goof ball.

Amber got her turn in the blessing dress made for the Spence girls. It's a beautiful dress made by Kay Bragg from Nate's mom's wedding dress.

Grandpa Spence's visit...and other stuff

Nate's dad came to visit last week. I felt a little bad for him because I had to babysit. We didn't get out to do too much. We did go bowling, like we usually do with him. 

I decided to add a few things to my fall decor collection. I made these pillowcases for the chair on our front porch, and this wreath.

 I love owls, and found this white one at Michael's and couldn't resist.

The kids want to do scary Halloween decorations, but I am not really into that. Maybe next year.

I have been working on getting my photography business up and going. Here are a few sessions I have done recently. It is a slow process.
