Happy October!

Calm Amidst The Chaos

I was making dinner when I realized I couldn't hear Kingsley cooing anymore, so I asked Sofie to check on him. She came back to tell me he was asleep. I had to see it for myself! How could anyone fall asleep amidst this chaos? The girls had been playing in the same room with him (he likes to watch them) and had thrown the couch cushions (which were coverless because said covers were in the wash) practically on top of him! He didn't seem to mind. This Hallows family idea just might work after all.

Dance Class

For the past couple weeks Sofie has been participating in a dance class with other 2 1/2 to 3 year olds. They do ballet, modern and tumbling which lasts for 45 min once a week. A former BYU dancer teaches the class and there are about 7 other little girls attending. Sofie looks forward to dance class each week and comes home to show us what she's learned including "step-hop" (skipping), plies and back bends. They'll have a recital in May. I can't wait!

Un Pasatiempo

One of our most favorite past times is to stare at King. Jarem is pictured taking his turn.

Laundry Basket & Ponytails

Getting pulled around in a laundry basket is a favorite past time at our house.

After 3 years we finally have enough hair for PONYTAILS!

Visitors and King's Blessing Day

GopGop Bret came to visit late Wednesday night and the girls were thrilled to see him when they woke up.

Sofie is dressed for dance class!

Bret and King getting aquainted.

We toured the Cowboys stadium. The girls loved playing on the field!

He'll never play football right?

Auntie Lauren and Brian came up from Austin! Lucy spent most of the weekend on Brian's lap.

Cousins Beckham and Kingsley with GopGop Bret.

GopGop Mark and King (King had something going on in (and out of)his pants during this photo op.)

Daddy and King. The blessing was perfect and so was the entire day.

I am borderline obsessed with him.

Ok. Beyond obsessed.

...and my other 2 loves. I am so happy.

Ashely's Wedding

I got to go to Ashley's wedding last month in Virginia. It was perfect. I got to see family and see a beautiful couple sealed for time and eternity. Tim is fantastic, I ADORE Ashley and I love weddings so it was so much fun to be there. Dad holding King while I got dressed. This was the first time they met.
