Aiden Decorating Pumkins

Conference weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Hatch

Buck A Roo

With water Gun in hand and Grandpa's boots on, Aiden is ready to go. I love this picture. Ben's Mom always gets the cutest pictures of my kids when I'm not around.

Jack-O-Lantern Fun

Aiden wanted a haunted house with a ghost

Ben wanted Transformers

Ben is sooooo talented in so many ways

Gutting

It took a minute to convince Aiden to pull out the pumpkin guts. This is what we did for our Family Night along with baking Halloween cookies. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!

Murder Mystery Dinner

Me and my crimped hair. My shoes were the color of my shirt. Ben had an 80's Thunder Cats shirt on.

CLASS OF 1985 REUNION

Our friends in Logan hosted this Murder Mystery Dinner Class reunion 1985. It was super fun. Ben was the cop the headed the investigation of the murdered classmate. It was so weird to see him in that kind of role, getting up and talking in front of everyone and taking charge. That was definitely out of his comfort zone. I was the reporter. That definitely out of my comfort zone. It was good for both of us.

Some firsts for Bryn

PLAY DATE

We had a play date with my friend/cousin at Arctic Circle on Friday. Brynlee experienced her first ice cream cone and she played great on the play ground all by herself for the first time. She has been walking for almost 2 weeks now. She just decided to do it one day and hasn't crawled since. CRAZY!

She had her 15 month well baby checkup last week. She has gained 1 whole pound in 2 months so she weighs 15.5 pounds. YAY! It has taken us a lot of effort to get her there. She is 28.5 inches tall. She graduated from her baby car seat, but still has to be rear facing. She offically has been diagnosed with malabsorbtion. Her intestinal tract is not mature enough to absorb nutrients. They are hoping it will get better and mature. Her poo is always runny lately and the Dr. says she is just pooping out her calories. They will give her a few months before they decide to do a feeding tube. In the mean time she is on 4-6 pediasure a day with her meals. They have a new toddler formula out by Enfamil that I highly recommend. It is called Enfagrow. It has replaced the Enfamil Next Step formula. It is for toddlers 12-36 months. It is vanilla flavored (or formula flavored depending on what you want) and it has all the DHA and the triple health guard stuff (antioxidents and 25 nutrients) that enfamil formula has. Compared to milk, it is highly more nutrious. Nothing against milk or anything. It also has the same amount of calories and fat than whole milk does. Brynlee loves it and even Aiden likes it. I don't give it to him though. Try it!!
