Eliza's Preschool at HeeHaw Farms

Eliza had her first preschool trip. She had a great time. They went on a hay ride and got to find and pick their own pumpkin to take home. 

This is Kai, our cute little neighbor friend. 

Sitting on the awesome tractor.

Lucas also enjoyed being out and about. 

Kai, Eliza, and Teagan

Eliza, not so little anymore.....

Just the other day I was thinking how much I will get done when these kids are in school. Then the next thought to my mind was to enjoy this time because it is not going to be around forever and I am loving spending so much time with these 2 wonderful children. 

Eliza has been coloring and drawing for a long time and only recently did she draw something that resembled a picture. Below is a dinosaur and a person. I was such a proud mommy.

Eliza loves Grandpa McPhillen time. Every few weeks, Grandpa will take her out and they will go to Krispy Kreme and eat yumminess. Then they will go on little adventures. 

I just thought this was a sweet picture of Eliza loving her daddy time. 

Eliza wanted to do a trick.... I think, instead, she is striking a pose.

The University Mall has a new park for kids and it is awesome. Eliza loves playing there. 

I hope Eliza's love for books continues. I am so excited when the world or reading is opened to her. Then the possibilities are endless. 

Thanksgiving Point with McPhillens

Jared came out to visit for one of his best friend's weddings. It was fun to get a chance to hang out with him a bit. We went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens and as Eliza puts it had a fun, crazy Jared wild ride. My mom rented a golf cart so we could see everything in a hurry because we didn't have too much time. 

Fish Lake with Cousins 2016

We were first to arrive at Fish Lake and super excited to be there. 

BUT oh how we missed our Stacey parents.

Lucas did not sleep at all so early in the morning, we were out on the couch trying to not wake Eliza who also had a hard time sleeping because of Lucas.

It was a bit cold out side. 

But the fall colors were gorgeous!

The kids had so much fun running around and playing.

Matt standing by the cell phone booster trying to find out the score of the BYU game that was the night before. BYU won.

Enjoyed being up in the mountains with Richard's family. They are a fun crew.
