Random Pictures for October 2014




Here are our random pictures from October 2014.




Sleepy sister.




Brian reading to Ruth.




My blue-eyed baby.




Sydney really wanted me to take a picture of her in this cat hat.




Trying to capture baby smiles on camera!




It's hard to see in this picture, but the kids are checking out the hot air balloon in the sky. This has actually become a fairly regular occurrence around here. Ruth gets so excited because she loves balloons.




It was hard to focus on General Conference with this little cutie is up and down and up and down and up and down…




Sydney and Brian.




A note I found that Sydney wrote: "Dear Camden. Thank you for the gum. That was a kind gift. You are the only Camden as my friend. Will we be friends forever? Love from Sydney."




My dad and Claire.




Celebrating Eliot's birthday!




A decoration I put up for Sydney's birthday party.




Tummy time...she's such a cutie.




More sleeping sister when she's supposed to be eating.





Sydney's first day back at ballet.





Baby smiles.




More blue-eyes.




Too many cute pictures to choose from!




Sydney's soccer pic.




Sydney and her teammates and coach Beardall. Four of the girls were in Sydney's church class, which made it a lot of fun!




Sydney tucked a Pikachu in next to Claire when we were all playing outside.




To celebrate her 8-week birthday, we took baby Claire to her first movie. She was a perfect angel and slept right through it! Meet the Mormons was a great and uplifting movie.




Sunday afternoon with my littlest baby girl.




Ruth is such  good little helper!




My kids are going to have some really crazy teeth as their permanents continue to come in!




Claire was two months old this day. She enjoys the outside and has a super cute smile but is kind of bi-polar. She's also a spit-up champion, seems to be a happy night owl, and doesn't let goopy eyes or a folded ear get to her. ;)




Claire with a new ball that Grandma Swensen sent her for Halloween.





Wes' present from Grandma Swensen. What a cute picture of my boy!




Sydney and Cosmo at the BYU vs. BSU tailgate.

More baby smiles.




Baby girl decided to let me skip my usual 5:30am wake up call this day and got up at 7:00am instead. Kudos to her!




In Kindergarten, they celebrate all of the month's birthday's on one day. They also focus on a country for the celebration. October's birthday focus was France. Sydney's Uncle Craig even sent a video for the class to watch since he served his mission in France.




We made "stained glass" as a craft.




Brian and I took Claire on our hiking date. We had incredible weather all October.




Dinner (Bodacious Pig) and a game (called Iota) after hiking.




Brian's 34th birthday celebration!




Blowing out the candles!




This day, when I got into bed, I realized I'd been wearing two different earrings all day. I even taught in Relief Society. Nice. Obviously my brain still isn't functioning very well and I don't look in the mirror very often…




Can't get enough pictures of this cutie patootie!




Wes and Sydney keeping warm on the heater.




Sydney's Halloween crafts from school.




I spend a lot of time trying to get this baby girl to smile these days! :)




Ruth with her bookmark mask.




Ruth really wants to do everything Wes and Sydney do.
