Man I Love These People!

I seem to do a lot of "Utah" post and what can I say. We just love going to Utah. It always feels like a mini vacation and I just love being with my family! It is nice that I am close enough to visit them whenever we want, but I still wish we lived closer! So we went down in June, August, and then three times in September. So I will just do a catch up of the June trip and someday get to the others...

June trip...Bree & Gray snuggle time
We went to Trafalga in Lehi since it was a part of the Pass of All Passes which meant it was pretty much free. Sadie is quite the rock climber. This was the first time I got to see her in action and she just zipped up the wall. Emmy started and then was screaming bloody murder so we pulled her down quick. 
The girls rode the frog jumper at least 15 times.
 
 They made friends with the other children that rode it over and over again too. It was pretty dead when we went so the kids didn't even have to get off the ride in between turns.
My Mom was so awesome to go out there with Emmy and just get soaked with Sadie and her water gun. After awhile we both had to bail and send the girls out on their own to have more fun.
We spent most of our time at my parents pool and fought over the gold chair. 
Lisa had ferrets for a few days and my girls were thrilled!!
Someone was excited to be in the pool!
 I borrowed a bandanas to keep Bree's head from getting fried. She looks like a biker baby!
So glad to have Lisa and Nanny and additional sources of comfort for my emotional girls :)
 I wouldn't normally post such a bad pic of me, but boy Bree is just so stinkin cute I had to for memories sake!
 
One of my good friends from HS was getting married and it was so great to go to her reception and meet her husband. Her Mom had made the most amazing Indian food and I got to hear all about their special Indian marriage ceremony. 
Lisa and I always like to go on adventures and find new places to eat. This place boasted that they had the highest butter content in icecream than anyone in the world. GROSS! blurry pic!
 Sadie had laid out all of her stuffed animals and dolls at the foot of her bed. My Mom takes such good care of us all and always has the nicest setup for my girls so that they feel comfortable and safe.
 We went to Seven Peaks for the day and I didn't bring my camera so this is all I have to show for it. Sadie loved all the slides and Emmy was scared to death!  Lisa was sweet enough to take Emmy to the kiddy pool area so I could go with Sadie on a few more bigger slides.
There are all sorts of animals around my parents house. We had never fed the miniature donkeys so this was a real treat. They are surprisingly very aggressive animals and were fighting for whatever dried up stale thing we had brought them.
 Katie took us black light miniature golfing. We mostly just had fun looking at all of the setups and smacking the ball a few times, but her boys were really good and played it like professionals. We Stewarts just don't have any golfing blood running through our veins I guess.
 We stopped by my cousins, Liz's house, who lives super close to my parents, and she has an awesome sand area in her backyard. My girls could have stayed there all day!
 There was a parade celebrating Lehi Roundup or something like that so we enjoyed it. So much better than the parade we see in Idaho for the 4th of July every year.

They Are So Tiny :)

This was just back in June. Bree already looks so much older!

Día de Muertos aka Day of the Dead

I saw these tattoos at the dollar store and just couldn't help myself, but buy them. I just didn't realize how hard they would be to apply! Once I had done a terrible job gettings Emmy's on, Sadie's went on a little easier, but I knew there was no chance that Bree would hold still so I figured I could play around in photoshop and make it look great, but I am not in the mood...so I am just posting things as I sloppily drew them! (are you getting sick of seeing this awesome backdrop yet...me either :)

Halloween Studio Fun

The girls played dress up all during the month of October! I think I have as much fun as they do setting up and seeing what they want to be. They always end up wearing something different Halloween day. They never can decide on just one thing. I did have to do some major bribing to get Emmy into this cute costume I picked up from a garage sale over the summer. She doesn't like to take pictures so I feel like I never have as many of Emmy as the other girls.
  

 
 
 This girl is obsessed with cellphones! 
 
Sadie loves using my camera (even though it gets insanely heavy, even for me) She still managed to get a few in focus. Bree cracks me up in these!

Papa & Grandma's Dirt Hill

We are all so excited for Papa & Grandma to be building a house. What is even cooler is we get to have them in our ward! Sacrament is going to be AWESOME! Especially since we are going to 1pm church next year and we would normally have cranky kids during that time. Something is magical about Grandparents. They all of a sudden become sweet little angels (for the most part). It was a nice sunny day today so we play for a solid hour in the dirt.

Oct random pics


Bree in her new purple swimsuit. It's nice to have a place to swim year round so when the swimsuits go on sale I can justify buying them!

Grandma always puts together the cutest seasonal bag of goodies for the girls and even Brian and I get a bag!

 Emmy has been practicing writing her name and this is the first time she got it all on one line. Usually it is all over the page. I love that Emmy LOVES to learn!

Here she is holding her signature and so proud!  
Brian and I went to a couples Halloween party as BYU super fans and I was decorating my face while looking in the mirror and Brian just had to get a pic of my mess up! I'm a dork, what can I say :)
