Adeline is three

Happy Birthday to our Adeline! When I woke up in the morning, I walked outside and saw the most amazing sunrise after the nighttime rainstorm we had. There was even a double rainbow! It was the perfect sign that it was going to be a beautiful day celebrating our girl.

Adeline is in the thick of her love for princesses so we couldn't turn down an opportunity to have a princess photo shoot on her birthday and she loved (almost) every minute of it. Corbin and his friend were standing behind me for part of it and got her laughing and smiling so well. 


Adeline felt like a princess all day as her brothers showered her with love. She was excited about her cake and all the extra attention. 

We are all so grateful that Adeline is in our family! She is full of spunk and sweetness and we couldn't love her more!

corn maze

Last year we found a fun pumpkin patch with a corn maze. We loved it and wanted to go again this year. There was the coolest full moon, we found all the check-in points in the maze, the kids spent a ton of time on the slide, and Adeline met Snow White! We had a fantastic night!!

packer halloween party

Another Halloween party in the books! This year Mandi hosted in her gorgeous home. ♥♥ We had the usual mummy dogs and doughnut eyeballs. Homemade rootbeer was a huge hit, and of course Mandi's sugar cookies are always a favorite! 

The rest of the time cousins disappear and us moms get to sit back and laugh, visit, and learn from each other ♥♥  

This tradition is definitely a favorite!!

fall #5 - october 5

Friday, after school, we drove to Bountiful and picked up Justin from the front-runner and headed to Mueller Park. My favorite part of this hike, besides being all together, were the leaves scattered all over the trail. We weren't going to go for a long hike, but I was surprised how energetic everyone was feeling and we just kept going and going. It was dark by the time we got back to the car, but it was SO much fun!

On our way home, we stopped by our favorite place to get donuts and headed home to pile under blankets and watch a movie. Perfect Friday night!
