Family Favorites

As you know, we just got family pictures taken, so here's a few of our family favorites as we now put together Christmas presents, fill frames, and update our family memories.

Enjoy, we sure have been!

Updating the Family Album

We just got family pictures taken, and I can hardly wait to begin putting together Christmas presents for grandparents now!

We had some taken right before I had Liam, but it was impromptu (as you'll notice when seeing Eliza's "mullet" of hair since it wasn't done that day!) Bonnie, our photographer, went to school with Chris so she and her sister Hanna pulled us aside during the International Babywearing Conference dutch oven and took some adorable pics.

Here's a sample.

Then we were able to get some by Hanna at the Turquoise Frame last week, and I'm SO excited with how they turned out!

Needless to say, I'll finally be updating the family pics on the blog very, very soon.

Visiting the Enchanted Gardens

Which is what my kids call the BYU-Idaho Horticulture Gardens we visited today.

We took a quick trip there Sunday night with my family, and it was so gorgeous I had to go again after our monthly Babywearing Meeting at Mommy n Me (my new favorite kid store).

Seth was absolutely enthralled and Eliza couldn't hold still long enough for any decent shots because she was so excited to be in such a beautiful place!

She was obsessed with all of the water features and ponds; I'm just grateful she didn't fall (or jump) in!

By far the favorite place in the whole gardens was in their European-inspired section with statues, stone fences just the right height for the kids, water (or course) and gorgeous, vivid flowers

Running away from Mama into the "enchanted garden."

Seth performing quite the balancing act along a stone ledge. He was so proud he didn't fall once!



I'm debating on getting our family pictures taken there because everywhere you look, there's a Kodak moment waiting to happen, and the kids had an absolute ball!
