Some Sweet History is Made

September was Audrey's 8th Birthday, so we were very proud of her choice to be baptized. This was a very neat day for all of us. Chad performed the ordinance of baptism and confirmation, and Audrey was glowing all day! It was so sweet to feel her eagerness to be obedient to the commandments. On Sunday she was also beaming all day - and was willing to sit on the stand during Sacrament Meeting. She had lots of family come and witness her special ordinance and we had a crazy family party/BYU football game party afterward. Thanks everyone that shared the special day with us!!


Here is a pic of Audrey's Rocking Birthday party! She and her friends jammed out to Hannah Montana, and they all competed to be the "best singer" and "best dancer". There was so much excitement and creativity! We had fun decorating and buying fun props for the party. We had pizza and a Hannah cake and ice cream. Another party is in the books!
We were finally able to hike Timp Cave this month. We weren't very good at scoring tickets ahead of time, so we finally planned ahead and purchased them the week before we hiked it. Carson LOVED the cool cave rock formations. He loved thinking about how the formations and caves were formed. The girls loved the beautiful aspects of the cave. And, the hike wasn't as long as we remembered! We got there 25 minutes early, so we were able to explore a little earlier than we had planned.
Chad is hooked on Tri's! He did his second in September - and the weather was much better, and he finished 35th overall. It was fun to cheer him on again, and with the better weather - the kids enjoyed the experience a lot more. Good job Chad!

September was a big milestone month for both Carson and Kate. It was Carson's first day of Kindergarten - and thus his first day on the bus. He was did great - he wasn't even nervous. He is so grown up now!
Kate had her first day of preschool. This was VERY exciting for Kate because she was going to preschool with Emily! These two are adorable together - and Kate wasn't about to miss out on getting to go. She came close, she wasn't potty trained at the first of August, the cut-off, but she got it all figured out in record time so that she would be able to go! We are so proud of that cute little girl.

I totally forgot Audrey and Tyler were so close, just as Kate and Shayla are! So happy to see pics of the special day. We were just a month sooner. :)
