Derek and Heather blessed baby Camile on October 9th and almost the whole family was able to be there for it...everyone but Landon who couldn't get time off :( I was excited to see their new house and meet baby Camile, soak up some sunshine and just hangout with family! I was nervous about the LONG car ride but the boys were PERFECT! We had a lot of fun!

We celebrated Anabelle's birthday while we were there...the boys had to be restrained so they didn't destroy her new presents!

Best mall entertainment ever!

Apple festival! It was beautiful and a perfect fall activity!

Cousin time!

Preschool

I was not planning on sending Julien to preschool this year but one of the moms in our ward found a place that she really liked and that was fairly reasonable so last minute we signed him up. I was a little nervous that Julien would be too shy to go...and the first day he was really scared and wanted me to walk him in but then his teacher told him that she needed his help passing out the candy and he was suddenly just fine.

He was not in the mood for pictures since he was so scared but we did the best we could.

On the way to preschool the next day he told me that he was not going to cry and that I didn't need to take him to class. He got out of the car and walked up to his teacher all by himself. He is getting SO big!

Surgery

Poor baby Kai has been sick basically since the day we moved to Utah...so since he was 3 months old and one of the problems has been many many ear infections so we decided to get tubes put in his ears. The surgery is pretty simple but I was pretty nervous about having him put under but he did great! I think we were in the waiting room for like 10 minutes before they called us back and told us he was all done! He did not seem bothered by the surgery or anesthesia at all...he just wanted food! He seems to be doing fine and so far no ear infections!

Getting ready for surgery

He looked so cute in his itty bitty little outfit.

Lagoon

Landon's work rented out Lagoon the other night and it was SO much fun! It was so nice to be able to walk onto every ride without having to wait in line. Landon is not a huge fan of rides so Jared came along with us to ride the rides with me and we laughed until we cried! Julien had a blast too! Such a fun night!

We told Julien to make a silly face and this is what he did...funny kid!

Silly Boys

Gotta Love Em

A Bad Day

This is explains it all!

Happy Birthday Kai

I can't believe little baby Kai is ONE!

Height: 29inches 23%

Weight: 19.4lbs 6%

Kai has had a pretty rough year but has been pretty happy through it all. He started off the year with Whooping Cough that lasted for 4 months! He has also had 6 ear infections, (that we have treated...every time we went to the Dr he had an infection) the flu, a broken wrist and 2 fingers, impetigo, roseola and every other virus possible and cut 13 teeth...ya Kai and I have not had a whole lot of sleep the past few months.

It is so fun to watch Kai and see his little personality...he is all boy! He loves to be on the go and is VERY busy! Since he was about 8 months old all he has wanted to do is walk. So I spent literally ALL day for the past 4 months walking around holding his hands, breaking my back! Finally about 2 weeks before his birthday he mastered walking and can now walk wherever he wants all on his own!

Kai is starting to talk and it is so much fun! So far his vocab consists of,

dada, uh oh, Juju, wow, bath, fish, ohh wow, dog, ya, night night and go

He loves balls and has quite the little arm on him. I say ready, set, and he says go and throws the ball.

He has always been a happy baby and loves to be around people. If you smile at him or make a funny face he will always laugh.

He is a really good eater and will eat almost anything and will double or triple what Julien eats at every meal.

He loves his blanket and binky and has to have them to sleep.

He is a water baby and likes to be outside.

He goes to bed super easy and sleeps through the night but wakes up around 5:30 EVERYDAY! I am praying that he will sleep better once he gets tubes in his ears!

Kai loves his brother and is constantly watching him and trying to keep up with him. Its so cute to watch them play together.

He has the biggest eyes and smile that I am scared are going to get him out of everything in the future. Kai is a sweetheart and we love him to pieces! Happy Birthday little Kai!

Kai had a fish themed party this year. He loves fish and fish was his first word, besides dada and uh oh.

This picture makes me sad...as you can see his ears are still hurting him even while he is on meds. He was not feeling the best on his birthday but was still a sweetheart! I can't wait for his surgery!
