We have had a fun busy September!!

 Lyla is learning so much! She is saying so many new words everyday.

Her new favorite thing to say is "BYU!" She repeats it over and over!

 To celebrate Scott's birthday we went to Tucanos is Salt Lake and the next day we went to Lagoon for my parents work day.  I haven't been in so long! We took Lyla on almost all of the little kid rides. They have way more now. I think Lyla was nervous, but she never got scared. The pictures below don't really show how much fun Lyla and D' had, but they did. We took Lyla on a ride that spun super fast and the whole time she was asking me if she was okay. She kept saying, "kay? kay?" She is super brave! It's so fun having a little kid that isn't afraid of anything and that is tall enough for rides. It was cool having moms point at Lyla and say to their kids, "Look that little girl went on the ride and had fun."

We found a new park by our house. Lyla loves digging in the rocks!

I know I am a purple girl, but I love this little girl in PINK!!!

SCOTT PASSED THE BAR!!!

I am so proud of my husband! He is amazing and such a hard worker.

Next week we are heading to Boise so Scott can be sworn in for the Bar.

We are so happy to be completely finished with school.

Cousin D' and Aunt Meggie came to visit! We always have so much fun with them.

They are moving to Colorado Springs in a week or so. We are going to miss seeing them all the time, but we have plans to visit a lot.

We had fun going on adventures and playing at parks. Lyla and D' were pretending to be kitty's the whole time. Lyla is now walking around saying, "D'? Aunt Meggie? Home. Oh no." She says this at least 10 times a day.

I have been trying to find new, fun, learning things for Lyla and I to do.

Lyla loves playing in water with bubbles. She played for almost an hour.

She loves painting in the tub. Her leg was stained blue for a day or so, but she had fun.

I got Lyla some finger paints. When she paints she gets really calm, quiet and concentrates really hard.

I hung her finger paint picture on the fridge and whenever she sees it 

she says, "Mine" with a big smile on her face.

We got Lyla snow boots and she always needs to where her hat and scarf.

I think she is ready for the cold weather.

We are really liking our new town. We have been very busy every weekend for the past two months with going to visit family, going to the Lindstrom family reunion, having people visit us and taking adventures. This last weekend was our first weekend just the three of us. We had so much fun.

Lyla playing in a cool tree.

Lyla getting a drink! She is so silly and fun!

I love my little family!!!

Lindstrom Family Reunion 2012 

 Scott's family had a reunion at his parents cabin last week. We all had so much fun. Scott could only stay for two days because he had to get back for work. (We are happy he has a job, but sad he couldn't stay longer)

 All of us! Uncle Houston(Justin),Uncle Jason, us, cousin James, Uncle Matt, cousin Lizzie and Aunt Richelle

 Lyla had fun getting to know her cousins. James liked being the big cousin and have Lyla follow him around. Grandma had surprises for them everyday and they had fun with their Uncles.

 Going on adventures with Grandma and Grandpa.

Lyla had to learn how to share her Grandparents.

She also learned the word 'share'. She now says it whenever you have something she wants.

 Checking out the ponds by the cabin.

I love roasting marshmallows! (Scott making a silly face)

We went to church in Stanley ID. The church building is used by a lot of different religions. It was a Lindstrom sacrament meeting...Justin and Jason help with the sacrament, Matt played the organ and I spoke.

It was a great experience. It's wonderful that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the same everywhere. I feel so blessed to have it in my life.

They Boys!!

The Girls!!!

Look at those cute Grand-kids!!!

                                           Lyla and cousin Lizzie

Lyla and James! They look like twins!!

Grandma took us to see some horses. The kids had fun picking grass and feeding them to the horses. Grandma named them George and Betsy.

When Lyla is a little older I want to put her in horse back riding lessons.

We went swimming in Grandmas little pool on the deck. The kids had so much fun. It was nice for us to put our feet in the cool water. Lizzie looks like she isn't enjoying it in this picture, but she LOVES water!!

There is a hot spring close to the cabin so we went one night. The kids LOVED it! Nice warm water and rocks to throw...what kid wouldn't be happy?!?! 

James kept saying "I love it" and Lyla was kissing everyone.

Grandma and Grandpa both thought that they wouldn't get in the water...

well they ended up swimming in their cloths. 

We had so much fun we went the next night too.

Our last full day at the cabin we went fishing and for rides on the canoe at Bull Trout Lake.

Lizzie waiting for her turn on the canoe. She is such a sweet baby. She looks like Lyla when she was that age (10 months).  She is so adventurous and wants to move so bad. She will be crawling in no time.

My amazing Lyla. She is so much fun!
Love her!!

James is super smart! Lyla loved hanging out with him! He is super cute and full of imagination. It's crazy how much they all look alike. They all look like LINDSTROMS!!
















Uncle Jason building sand castles with the kids. He's so good with them. They love him!

We went fishing! We caught so many fish! 

James caught his first fish with Grandpa's help.

Riding in the canoe. Grandpa did all the work!

We had a great week!!!!

I can't wait until next year!!! 

Despicable Me Birthday Party!!! 

 We gave the kids Minion names. D' is Dave, Kaysen is Billy Boy and Lyla is Kevin. 

The kids were so excited to dress up like minions. They look so cute!!!

 The cake!! Behind the minion cupcakes is the moon. Written on the moon it says, 'That's what I'm talking about.' My sister Meggie made the cake and did an amazing job!!!

 Meggie also painted this minion bowling set. Super cute right?? ;-)

 The kids Squid Launchers. We didn't even put water in them and they still had a blast pretending to shoot squids at everyone.

 Right before the party started we helped the kids make their own 'Unicorns.'

I think their 'unicorns' are their favorite thing from the party!

 My brother made this bean bag toss! He is so talented! Even the bigger kids (adults) liked this game. ;-)









We had the kids eat their 'dinner' out of their dog bowls! They LOVED IT and still want to eat out of them.

For dinner we had PIZZA! The kids loved eating on the blanket and eating all together! They love getting to see each other!


Time for presents!!!
The kids got too many presents! Thank you to all of those who spoiled our kids!!

We all got D' a bike for his birthday...

Have you even seen a kid so happy?!?!

I LOVE MY NEPHEW D'!!!

The kids were so excited to blow out the candles! It took Uncle Ty a couple of tries to get them lit.

The party was amazing! 

Best party ever!!!
