the past few days............

 julia and spencer were POOPED after dropping lorri off at the airport

 julia said she wanted to be a dog for halloween.  we looked at savers for some stuff while anna was at music class.  she saw this but it was too uncomfortable.  then she decided she wants to be a princess.  boo to princesses.

 anna's preschool was skeewampy.  it used to try to get her to do addition everyday.  she was very frustrated because she doesn't yet know her numbers!  so i called and complained and they fixed it (not just from me - i guess lots of people complained).  now she is learning numbers and loving it.  this is her number practice that i see every day.  so cute.

 anna drew this picture of a halloween guy with wings.  he has a dark rain cloud over him.  i love little kid drawings.  unfortunately this was a card for grandma elaine, so we didn't get to keep it.

 i like how she spelled love: LAV

 we took my brother andy lunch for his birthday.  it turned out that he needed a babysitter - so we took track for a few hours.  the girls had a blast.  spencer will be more fun for them when he can walk and interact more.

 julia has had 2 days with 0 accidents.  way to go cutie!

 we put up this swing for spencer and he loves it!

 it also puts him to sleep.

 this is how julia does a thumbs up.  her daddy texts her a thumbs up every time she goes pee pee in the potty.

 i've been practicing the song June by Tchaikovsky on my grandma's piano.  did i already post that it is 100 years old?  the tuner gave it a date.  it's not the greatest because you can't play softly on it - but its a piano!

 today was the heiner family birthday party.  it was a great time with good food as usual.  we went up american fork canyon to the house where taylor lived all summer.  it was a really neat place.  The kids had a great time hiking around, playing in leaves and climbing in stick piles.

 i love this little video.  especially remi.

 i took some pics while we were driving up to cascade springs.  this really is the best place to see fall color - but it comes with a price - there were so many people up there it was outrageous!

 cascade springs hike

 i love this video too - grandma, anna, chloe and remi

 on the way back julia and i took our time.  so i took a million pictures of this little doll.  i wish anna would have been there too.  the light was great.

 she was happy to be holding daddy's hand and uncle taylors hand.

 staring somebody down.

 im so cute and i know it........look at my little mousie face (:

 im not sure what this pose is, but it's adorable.

 mad face

 this is my favorite.  it's so julia.

 we drove over the top of the mountain to Heber, then down provo canyon and through orem to lehi.  we stopped at cabelas to look for running shoes for me.  we bought nothing but the girls loved the animals.

it was a beautiful day.  rich hurt his back trying to dig out our window wells.  i hope he feels better soon so he can enjoy his hunt.
