Autumn Fun

What a fun time of year this is! The last few weeks have been so great. A few weekends ago, Sara was here and we spent Friday evening with them.
These beautiful sunflowers were on the kitchen table and looked fresh and happy for more than two weeks!
Tia and I made caramel apples. I thought they turned out pretty well and they were so yummy!
Last Friday we went on a group date mini golfing.
Then on Saturday, we went up to see my sister, Becky, in Rexburg. We were only there for about 24 hours, but we got a lot in including going to Nielson's Frozen custard and seeing the beautiful temple there.
This Friday I went on a hike with my mom up Rock Canyon. It is beautiful up there. I can't believe I live in a place that has that amazing beauty ten minutes from where I sleep! We also went shopping at Costco where I found adorable Halloween costumes for the girls for really cheap. I love that place! And we went and got a fun lunch afterwards. It was so fun to spend time with her!


On Saturday, we went to the BYU game. It was really fun, especially because it is the first one Tia and I have gone to together.
Our little girls are two months old today! They are smiling now (although I have yet to get a picture of it) and are very alert. I love how they position their hands on each other when I hold them together.
Their necks are getting stronger and I put them on their tummies often. It is fun to see their personalities in how they respond. Adelyn tries so hard to keep her head up, and Avery is happy to lay on her arm.
They are really starting to recognize us and I love it when they follow us with their eyes. They are growing so fast, I can hardly believe it! I want time to stop, but it is so fun to see them develop and get stronger and more interactive everyday!
Oh and I decided I need to take their headbands off before I lay them down for a nap :)
