I love fall!

Always trying to make us laugh, and it usually works!


Bubble beards with dad, she has the best dad!!!



We had our family pictures taken by Megan, she did a great job!
(Even though I have a hard time looking at prego pictures of myself)





Wearing dad's hat and drinking out of the squirt bottle, she has her own flare!

Watching Cinderella, her favorite thing in the whole world

I tried to get some pre-halloween pictures outside with the leaves and pumpkins, the only way she would wear her costume was in fron of the TV


Quick snow storm, she loved it!

Trunk r Treat with cousins

Reading with Aiken

Staring at others costumes, not sure what she is thinking?

Our little pirate

Must carry my own bag!



Pirate ladies

We found her chillin in our bed one evening

This is for Baird and Dori, our little friend Tommy and Holland Rose



I love you Chad McKay!
It has been one of the most beautiful falls that I can remember, the leaves have turned amazing colors and we have been enjoying 70 degree weather.  I never knew that Utah had such great falls.  Chad has been working like a crazy person, teaching the gospel, building his parents house, helping out around home.  I have grown extra large, hoping to grow a healthy and happy baby. Miss Holland is growing like a weed (as Grandpa O would say), she is a delight and a little pill all in about ten minutes.  Chad and I laugh and enjoy her personality and independance 95% of the time, I figure that is pretty good.  She has to unzip her jacket and take it off everytime I put it on to show us that she can.  She loves to put on her own shoes.  She chatters all the time, like she is telling a long story, including the laugh.  She is still to busy to eat, you must chase her down and push someting in her mouth.  She loves to sit in the drivers seat of the car and show us that she can drive too.  She has become obsessed with movies, I am bothered by it, but not sure what to do about it.  She would watch Cinderella all day everyday, if we let her.  It is actually really fun to watch her watching the movie, she is having such a great time, and you can see the wheels in her head turning.  She loves people, her cousins, nursery, playing outside, dirt, smarties, her shinny black shoes, jewelery, music, dancing, blocks, buttons, making us laugh, books and the library story time, babies, playing in the tub, helping, running on her toes, marching, somersaults, and bossing everyone around.  She is a pistol, but so sweet to the core.  It was so much fun to watch her trunk r treat, she was was confused at the costumes, including her own.  The first few cars were a mystery to her, she did not understand the concept, but it did not take long for her to catch on.  She soon started to understand that she was getting lots of treats and she wanted to do it by herslef, choose her candy, put in it in her sack, carry the bag all by herself, I LOVED watching her.  I feel so lucky to be married to Chad and to be Holland's mom.  I have so many things to be grateful for!!!

Summer 2012

It has been way too long...  The summer has been busy, I was feeling like dookey dankey for two months, and a broken computer has caused our time away.  Since I last blogged we have celebrated a birthday for Chad, a birthday for me, our third wedding aniversary, found out we were having another baby, shocked when we found out that our baby is a boy!  Holland keeps growing, I keep begging her to stay little, but time keeps rolling on. Our little girl is 18 months and is old enough for nursery and loves it.  This summer we also enjoyed Evans family in June and my family in July.  Chad graduated from college and to celebrate we went to Tahoe.  Chad also started his new job as a seminary teacher at Orem High School.  I attended my 10 year college reunion in August,  I realize that each of these events is extremely huge,and deserved a blog entry, hopefully I can do them each justice.

Takes after the Evans family

So Charming!

Happy Birthday Chad!

Must feed myself, so independent.
